Chapter 152
After she finished, she decided to stick around to chat with Mira.
“Let’s talk in your room p>
Elara grabbed Mira’s arm.
With the two bodyguards sitting in the living room, she felt incredibly awkward.
Mira led her into the bedroom. “You don’t really need to avoid them. Those two guys keep to themselves p>
“I wanted to ask you, did Mara Mercer have a miscarriage p>
“How did you know p>
“So it’s true.
I saw online today that the Mercer family was offering a massive reward for a rare blood donor, and then I realized Mara had called in sick for the past few days.
I’m just curious. If she went to the hospital for an abortion, how did it end in a massive hemorrhage p>
Mira hadn’t realized Elara was such a gossip.
“Natalie Rivers beat her until she miscarried, and then they rushed her to the hospital p>
“What p>
With her curiosity thoroughly satisfied, Elara finally left the apartment in good spirits. As Mira walked Elara to the elevator, they ran into the couple from across the hall stepping out. The two seemed to be discussing selling their condo.
“Hi there, are you planning to sell your place p>
Mira asked casually.
It really was time to buy a bigger place. She couldn’t keep making the two bodyguards sleep in the living room.
If it weren’t for the convenience of being close to school, Mira would have just bought a sprawling estate.
“We are planning to sell it, yes p>
Mira had lived here for two months now, and they often bumped into each other in the elevator, so they were on friendly terms.
Plus, Mira was a public figure everyone recognized, so there was no real reason for them to be guarded around her.
“How many square feet is it p>
“About sixteen hundred square feet. Four bedrooms p>
“Could I take a look?
Four bedrooms would be perfect for my current needs.
To be honest, I’ve been looking to buy a place p>
“You can definitely take a look. But we’re in urgent need of cash, so we require a
buyer who can pay entirely upfront p>
“If it’s the right fit, I can pay in cash p>
With that, Mira followed the couple over to inspect the apartment.
“It’s quite new, and very clean p>
The furniture didn’t look like it had seen much use either.
The wife gave Mira a tour of every room, including the kitchen and the bathrooms.
It had excellent natural lighting and
ventilation. The renovations were
high-end featuring premi
materials, and the layout was
exactly to Mira’s taste.
“To be completely honest, we only finished the renovations two years ago, and we
haven’t even lived here for a full year yet.
If we weren’t desperate for money, we would never sell it.
If you want it, just pay the market
value for the property itself. You’ et
basically be getting all the premium. renovations for free p>

“I’ll have a professional come over to do an inspection. If everything checks out, we
can proceed with the title transfer p>
Buying real estate was a big commitment; it paid to be thorough.
“Alright, but please hurry. We’re waiting on this money to pay our workers’ salaries p>
“Just out of curiosity, what line of business are you in p>
“We run a bicycle manufacturing plant.
Not to make a joke of ourselves, but business was decent a few years ago. With everyone buying cars lately, though, our sales have plummeted. We’re on the verge of bankruptcy p>
Talk about perfect timing. This was exactly what she needed.
“I see. Well, once we finalize the house sale, I can introduce you to a massive client p>
“Please don’t get our hopes up. Where would anyone find a massive client for bicycles in this economy p>
“I’m completely serious.
However, this client will require you to manufacture strictly according to their custom design specifications p>
The husband looked at Mira, realizing she didn’t seem to be bluffing.
“Are they electric bikes p>
“No p>
“Regardless of the specs, as long as it’s a bicycle, we can make it.
If you can help us land this deal, we will compensate you generously. We can offer you a solid commission p>
Mira shook her head. “Keep this in mind: I don’t need any commission for the business I bring your way.
As long as you maintain strict quality control, we can establish a long-term partnership.
Anyway, let’s put a pin in that for now. I’ll have someone come look at the apartment tomorrow.
If everything is in order, we’ll finalize the paperwork right then and there.
And tomorrow, the relevant personnel will also come by to discuss the bicycle
contract with you p>
“Are you serious p>
The husband bolted upright in pure shock.
