Faux Vows, True Desires

The landlord chuckled, "Actually, I'm not in a rush. I was just out grocery shopping and saw your husband drop you off, so I thought I'd say hi."

Having the wife of the richest man in town renting her house and shop was like a free advertisement for her. Why would she worry about not being able to rent out her property?

"How much is the rent and utilities for the house and shop? I'll transfer the money to you right now."

The rent wasn't that expensive, it was mainly the shop lease that was a bit high.

Even though the landlord said she wasn't in a hurry, when Lucinda asked, she quickly pulled out a prepared bill from her pocket and handed it to Lucinda.

After checking the bill, Lucinda transferred the total amount to the landlord.

"I'll make sure to pay on time next month, no more delays."

The landlord laughed, "No worries, I won't stress about you not being able to pay the rent anymore. Ms. Moore, how did you meet your husband? Did he come to your coffee shop and then you guys fell in love?"

Being the wife of the richest man, the landlord assumed Lucinda would soon give up the coffee shop. After all, the Anderson family was loaded, they wouldn't want her working.

Once Lucinda stopped renting her shop, she could raise the rent since her shop was quite popular. Whoever rents it might have a bigger chance to meet the elites.

She wouldn't dare raise the rent on Lucinda's shop though. Lucinda was now part of the Anderson family, she wasn't worrying about money anymore.

"Actually, I've known my husband for eleven years, he was my brother's classmate."

The landlord was a bit disappointed. So it wasn't her shop that got Lucinda in the Anderson family's good graces.

"I see, you've known each other for so long, no wonder. If you guys ever have a wedding, remember to invite me."

The landlord said this out of politeness. She'd probably be too scared to go if she was really invited.
