“Look, this is your decision to make but I’ll strongly advise that you give it a go. Not every man is going to be like Tim, you know?”

She’s right. But I’m going to need more than this talk to convince myself.

It’s six thirty, and it’s time to go home.

Dragging my tired self to my door, I fumble around my purse to search for my keys. When I finally grab a hold of my keys, I hear footsteps behind me while unlocking my door.

I look up to see the property manager, a middle-aged man by the name of Aaron, heading my way.

I pause and wave to him, “Hi, Aaron.”

He doesn’t greet me back, but he hands me an envelope to me. Reluctantly, I take it from him and look at it, trying to make sense of what is inside.

“The owner is selling the building,“ he explains and gestures to the envelope, “That’s a 30-day notice to move out of your apartment.”

“What? I’m confused…” I’m more than confused.

He just responds by restating what he just told me, “You have thirty days to move out of your apartment.”

Then he shuffles off, leaving me to stare after him in shock.

Just when my life is finally coming together.

All of a sudden, I’m on the verge of being homeless again…

Chapter 14

Live With Me

“All right, princess. Let’s go back home. Mommy is waiting.”

I place her down to the hallway after climbing up the stairs, and we stroll all the way to Chloe’s apartment door. Pressing the doorbell, I wait for her to open the door. She takes a bit of time, but I’m not worried because she sent me a message half an hour ago saying she was already home and I could bring her daughter back.

A few seconds later, the door opens and the sight I’m greeted with isn’t what I expected to see. Chloe’s face is red with swollen eyes. She is standing at the door, and the moment she sees me, she starts blinking rapidly, trying to hold back the tears that are about to fall.

I react immediately, bearing down on her, “Chloe? What the hell happened?”

Did anyone hurt her while she was out with Fiona? If they did, I’m going to find them and make them pay!

“It’s Aaron, the property manager for this apartment,” she sniffs in a broken voice, “He just told me that the owner is selling the building, and now I have thirty days to find a new place and move out of this apartment.”

Life happens. Luckily, this can be easily solved.

“And I wouldn’t have minded if I had enough money to get another place,” she lets out a shuddering sigh.

Oh.

This is the part I love about being wealthy. Problems like this are so easily resolved.

“Come here,” I open my arms wide for her to step into, and she clings on to me tightly. I press my face into her hair, and I soothe her, “It’s okay. I’ll just get you a new place.”

She begins shaking her head wildly, “No!” She pulls back to give me a firm stare, “You’re not going to do that.”

I’m confused, “But…”

She insists, “I said no! You don’t need to do that. I’m not a charity case.”
