The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 658

"Smart girl," Felix thought with a smile. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that."

Moving in would require lots of shopping, and taking cabs would be inconvenient. As they drove off together, two men watched from the office entrance with annoyed looks.

"Damn it! That villa listing was supposed to be mine. I can't believe someone actually bought it, and now, this flirt gets the commission."

His colleague teased, "That's fate for you! This sale's worth more than several of our regular deals combined. Isn't Nelly usually the reserved type? She's always keeping clients at arm's length, but she's making moves now." "Hah! That's all an act! This Felix guy's young and loaded-who wouldn't fantasize about dating him? If she plays her cards right, she could end up a rich man's wife instead of selling houses. But she stole my meat, so she'll pay for it." Smiling, his colleague stayed silent as he knew the real reason behind his bitterness. He had pursued Nelly before and been rejected. "Wait. You're not thinking of calling Mr. Linton, are you?"

"Of course I am. How do you think he'll feel when he learns Nelly's been acting all this time?"

Two hours later, Felix was done moving everything into Villa No. 3 in Heavenly Meadow. He thanked Nelly, "Really appreciate your help today, especially with picking out the gift boxes."

Nelly smiled gracefully. "You don't have to, Mr. Zeller. I should be thanking you. I'll head out now, but please call if you need anything while you're in Gray City."

for later, Felix took the gift boxes and headed out. He had not forgotten his real purpose here. He had chosen this villa because Xena's pen pal, Sunset, lived in Villa No. 4. Everything
