Colby said, “He said it was okay, not too expensive either”


    At that moment, the car took a sharp tien and stopped abruptly. Sophie, not seated securely, found


    herself tumbling into a broad and firm embrace


    A voice, cool and steady, reached her ears from above, “Adler, keep the car steady”


    “Got it!”


    Girls indeed seemed more important to this guy than his buddies.


    The car pulled up outside a luxury apartmentplex across from Eastwood College. Colby handed a


    key card to Sophie, Tve already entered your personal info. Just swipe this card to get in and out. This


    ce has excellent privacy, and most residents are prominent figures in the industry, so it’s great for


    networking”


    Sophie nced at theplex. She had considered renting a ce here when she decided toe to


    Eastwood Collegem but describing these apartments as merely expensive was an understatement.


    Qualifications were needed to live here.


    Colby must have gone through a lot of trouble to secure this apartment for her.


    “Go in and see if you like how it’s fumished” There was a softness in Colby’s eyes.


    Sophie entered the building. Her apartment was on the thirteenth floor, which offered the best view. As


    she opened the door, a faint scent wafted through the air. The decor was upscale and minimalist,


    exactly to her liking.


    Adler jumped in. “See, I told you Ms. Sophie wouldn’t like it. What girl likes this style? Girls usually


    prefer something more whimsical,”


    “No, I really like it. Sophie turned to Colby, “Thank you.”


    “Won’t it be too dull for you?”


    “Not at all, I like it simple and quiet”


    The apartment was fully equipped with daily necessities, including scented candles and a coffee maker.

    Colby added, “A housekeeper wille every week to clean up. All you need to do is focus on your


    studies.”


    “And the rent?” Sophie asked


    “It’ll be added to


    o your debt” Colby


    y was not about to be polite.


    Sophie nodded, “Fair enough.”


    Adler, overhearing this, was incredulous. “Dude! Are you actually charging her rent while trying to woo


    her? Are you out of your mind?” He thought to himself.


    “We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll leave you to it, Adler said, hurriedly pulling Colby away.


    He really needed to give his buddy a piece of his mind about his cluelessness.


    With a click,‘ Adler shut the door, and Colby casually adjusted his cuffs.


    “Not cool, man. Are you insane? Charging her rent? Are you that strapped for cash?” Adler was almost


    ready to kick Colby. “No wonder you’ve been single for twenty–six years.”


    “Just a strategy,” Colby replied nonchntly.


    “She knows the apartment is expensive. Giving it to her for free might make her feel uneasy staying


    there.” Colby slightly curved his lips, “Besides, the more she owes, the harder it is to clear the debt, and


    the more I get to see her.”


    Adler was stunned, “Holy crap!”
