Chapter 164
Mira paid generously for bigger jobs, but Elara always refused money for the small things, insisting she was just helping out as a friend.
Since Mira didn’t own much to begin with, and they were all quick on their feet, the move was finished in record time.
They unpacked the essentials first, leaving the rest to organize later.
By the time the real estate agents arrived with the deed, the group was already prepping dinner in the kitchen.
“Wow, you guys moved fast p>
They had originally planned to drop the paperwork off at the old two-bedroom unit.
The two agents—a man and a woman-were young, around Mira’s age, and had gotten along well with the group over the past few weeks.
Mira smiled. “We couldn’t wait to stretch out in the bigger space, so we just went for it. The paperwork came through faster than expected. I thought it would take a few more days p>
“Since you mentioned you were in a hurry, we put a rush on it and pushed the office a few times. Normally, property deeds don’t clear this fast p>
The female agent was in her early twenties, dressed in a sharp business suit that hugged her curves, with a bright, sweet smile.
“I really appreciate it,” Mira said.
Rachel handed the two agents glasses of water.
“As long as you’re happy with it,” they said as they prepared to leave. “If you ever need anything else in the future, Miss Mercer, you know who to call p>
Mira nodded. “Actually, if you come across any prime real estate listings, let me know p>
The male agent perked up instantly. “Could you give us an idea of what areas you’re looking at p>
“Anywhere in the city is fine, as long as it has good transit access, a solid layout, and is a newer build. Nothing too old. Ideally, something just like this unit, so I don’t have to deal with renovations p>
She wanted to invest in real estate to build a safety net against future market fluctuations. Besides, property values were practically guaranteed to skyrocket.
“Understood. Thank you for trusting us, Miss Mercer. We’ll reach out the second we find something p>
Thrilled at having secured a wealthy long-term client, the two agents left in high spirits.
Elara watched Mira with pure awe. While her own family was struggling just to put food on the table, Mira had cut ties with the wealthy Mercer family and was still casually buying up multiple properties.
There really was no comparing people!
But she wasn’t jealous of her friend. Mira had the talent and the drive things lara knew she couldn’t just megically acquire Her only, path was to study hard, land a good job, and change her own fate.
When Elara was getting ready to leave after dinner, Mira handed her forty dollars.
She had cleaned for an hour and twenty minutes, but Mira rounded it up to two hours.
“Mira, I said I was just helping out p>
“Take it. If I hired a professional cleaner, I’d have to pay them too p>
But Elara stubbornly pushed the money back.
“Look at it this way,” Mira compromised. “Take the cash, and whenever you have free time, come help Rachel tidy up around the place. Just promise me it won’t interfere with your studies your
jobs p>

Now that the apartment was so much bigger, she didn’t want Rachel burning out.
Mira had originally suggested hiring a part-time maid, but Rachel had vehemently refused, so Mira let it go.
The next day after school, Mira turned to Mr. Harth. “The apartment is officially vacant. If you’re still interested in renting it, we can go look at it right now p>
“I don’t need to look at it. I trust you p>
“Then I’ll call the landlord. If he’s free, we can sign the sublease this afternoon.” “Sounds like a plan p>
Mr. Harth headed back to the faculty office to drop off his textbooks, threw on a backpack, and walked out with Mira.
They hadn’t made it far before Brayden fell into step beside them.
Mr. Harth gave Brayden a quick glance. Judging by the sheer physical presence of
the man, he didn’t even have to ask to know he was a bodyguard.
“Mira p>
As the three of them reached the school gates, they were surprised to find Natalie waiting there.
