The Silent Wife

Chapter 36

Having noticed that Rachel seemed doubtful, the property agent quickly said, “If you think it’s expensive, the price is still negotiable. I can bring the price down to two thousand.”

At once, she widened her eyes in disbelief at what she just heard.

She hadn’t even said anything, and yet the property agent lowered the price by a thousand?

That’s ridiculous!

Similarly, Julian sensed that something was off, so he asked straightforwardly, “Are there any problems with this unit?”

“What do you mean by that, sir? There isn’t any place that is more suitable within three miles. There are no problems with this unit–it’s even new!  (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) The price is also very affordable.”

“Based on what you said and what we see, the rental of this house is the problem.”

When the property agent heard that, his face froze. Looking at Rachel with a questioning face, he asked, “Do you two think that it’s too cheap?”

Rachel then nodded honestly.

“This.” The property agent scratched the back of his head immediately. “Two thousand isn’t so bad…”

At this moment, Rachel looked up the rental of houses within the area on her phone only to find out that the average rental was around fifteen thousand. That made her even more suspicious.

Tugging on Julian’s sleeve, she shook her head.

Understanding what she meant, he announced, “We want to have a look at other places first. We’ll decide again later.”

With that, he was prepared to leave with Rachel.

Anxious that they might leave, the property agent called out to them. “Why don’t you name a price? You can pay any price and rent it.”

That rendered them speechless.

When they were back in the car, Rachel took a look at the other houses and their respective rentals that were sent by the same property agent. It only left a frown on her face.

Was the market price so bad these days or was the property agent just bad at his job? Even for a unit with four rooms and two living rooms, the monthly rental was below three thousand.

‘Sorry, I don’t think any of the houses you offered suit me.’

She replied to the text message courteously.

In response, the property agent said, ‘What kind of houses are you looking for? I have all kinds of variety.’
