My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 80

"Hey, how come you cannot find someone to take care of my apartment? I'm going abroad soon. As a real estate agent, you suck. My apartment is well-located in a nice neighborhood. It is close to the hospital. I just need someone to take care of it. I can even pay him or her. Can't you get me someone? If 3,000 a month can't do, I am willing to offer 5,000. Get me just one person! I've booked the flight ticket on the day after tomorrow!" The man was furious.

He walked past Amy at a fast pace.

The man's wallet fell off when he put his phone in his pocket.

He was in a rush and did not notice that he had lost his wallet.

"Sir, you dropped your wallet." Amy picked up his wallet and chased after him.

The man in black did not hear her. He continued walking fast. Amy quickened her footsteps to catch up with him, and called him out.

"What can I do for you?" The man turned around. He frowned and looked at Amy with a preoccupied expression.

"Sir, you dropped your wallet." Amy handed the wallet to the man.

When the man saw the wallet, he smiled immediately.

"Thank you so much, Miss. You are really nice. I am too busy recently and didn't even notice that I lost my wallet. Thank you." Before the man could finish speaking, his phone rang again.

"Sorry, but I have to take the call first. Please wait a moment."

Amy intended to leave but since he asked her to wait and she indeed had nothing to do right now, she waited beside him patiently.

"Hello? You mean you have found a family with three children? No, that cannot do. I need someone to take care of my apartment instead of ruining it. It was well-decorated. How can a family with three children take good care of it? Get me someone else please." The man hung up the phone.

"Miss, thank you. Can I buy you a drink to show my gratitude?" The man said to Amy.

"Thank you, but no need. You are really busy, Sir. Just goodbye." Amy just waved her hand.

"Sorry about that. Listen, Miss. I got a well-located apartment. And I need someone to take care of it when I'm abroad for the next few years. I am even willing to pay for that. How can it be so difficult to find someone to do this job? I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. That's why I am so anxious." The man sighed.

Apartment? Amy had heard the man mention about his apartment just now, but she didn't think much about that.

Now that he mentioned it again, Amy decided to ask about it.

"Where is your apartment, Sir? What kind of person do you need to take care of it?"

"It is in the JL Community. You must have heard about it. The Community got the amazing environment. It is a garden-style residential area. I spent a lot on decoration. Therefore, I don't want to have it ruined by kids.

"It is the best to have someone who cares about the apartment. A girl would be better. I will come back in a few years. If I can't find someone to take care of it, it could be in bad conditions by then." The man sighed again.

"Yet I can't find anyone to take care of it. I am willing to pay 5,000 a month for that. All these requirements are reasonable in my view. But the agents just can't get me someone to do that! I'm really worried!" The man had an anxious look on his face.

When Amy heard this, she got an idea. The JL Community was next to her mother's place. It was a fine neighborhood, where many wealthy families lived.

It was well-located with favorable conditions, close to the hospital. It should be an ideal place for his father to stay. And the man offered to pay 5,000 to take care of the apartment. This was a pretty good deal.

"Sir, how about me? I'm looking for an apartment for my father now. I promise to take good care of your apartment and won't mess it up. You don't need to pay me. Is that okay?" She had spent a long time in finding an apartment, but failed. Now the apartment just came to her. What a nice surprise!

"You?" The man sized up Amy, but was happy inside. He finally attracted Amy’s attention.

"Yes. My father is not in good health. He..." Amy got a little sad when speaking of her father.

"It's fine. My apartment will soon be empty anyway. If your father needs it, I'm willing to leave it to you. How about I show you the apartment first? If you think everything is OK, we'll sign the contract and inform the agent. I'm in a hurry. Shall we go to the apartment now?" The worry on his face disappeared.

Amy was very happy to do him a big favor. Her problem got solved, too.

She followed the man to the apartment he was talking about.

After arriving at the apartment, Amy felt that she got a treasure. The apartment was really spacious, and seemed to have a floor area of more than 200 square meters.

This was a duplex apartment, with a bedroom and a study upstairs, and a guest room and a living room downstairs.

The house was luxuriously decorated. No wonder the man needed someone to take care of it. If she were the owner, she would do the same. It would be a pity if it got messed up.

What Amy liked the most about the apartment was the big balcony. On it there were a lot of beautiful flowers, which should be good for her father's health.

Amy was very satisfied with the apartment.

"How do you like it, Miss? Would you like to help me take care of this house? Sorry that it is a little big. Cleaning it may tire you out. I can pay you more." The man offered earnestly.

Amy thought it couldn’t cost 5,000 a month even if he hired an maid.

"I like the apartment a lot. I'm willing to take care of it for free. Your apartment is really nice." Amy was telling the truth. She liked this place too much. It was bright and got sufficient sunlight. The design was exquisite and magnificent as well.

"I insist to pay you. I will pay whoever takes care of my apartment. You are no exception. If you don't accept more, then let's cut the deal with 5,000 a month. Young miss, you've really helped me out." Then the man took out the contract he had prepared long ago.
