"Miss Zais, Madam Levin, you're finally here. How was the weather on the way here? Was it cold?"

When Mabie heard Ralph's question, she immediately felt that he had ulterior motives. She wanted to say, "You would know if you go and take a walk around. There's no need to ask."

However, as soon as the words came to her mouth, she suddenly remembered what Vera had said to her the other day. So, she immediately dismissed the idea.

"The weather is not that cold, it's perfect for a stroll. Have you been waiting for us here for a long time? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Her attitude had changed dramatically compared to the last time they met. It made Ralph slightly confused. However, because of the nature of his job, he was able to respond accordingly rather quickly. "Madam Levin, it's alright. It's part of our job to wait. Why don't I bring you and Miss Zais to meet the gentleman now."

"The gentleman?" Mabie's eyes narrowed when she heard that the owner was a man. "Um, may I ask what's his condition? Where are we going to meet him? Will there be any danger?"

Vera was speechless.

She had failed to stop her mother from asking those questions.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Moments later, the corners of Vera's mouth twitched as she tried to explain for her mother. "I'm sorry. My mother is rather feudal. Besides, the neighborhood elderlies gossip a lot. I'm sure you can understand. She does not have any ill intentions. She's just afraid that I'll get hurt."

Ralph nodded and said, "I see. I can understand Madam Levin's concern. However, don't worry, we run a legitimate property agency. We usually run a background check on the customers before accepting them. Rest assured, everything will be fine."

"Mom, you see. Stop overthinking."

Only then did Mabie nod.

Then, Ralph brought them to meet the owner.
