Chapter 196 I Have to Thank Him

The housekeeper turned to be not so tough like before, which made Peter also stop spitting out harsh
words.

The rent was decided by the time of rental period.

If the rent increased a lot in the pre-agreed cycle, it’ll be hard for a tenantry to bear while the contact
stipulates that he cannot sublet to others before the expiry date. Nobody would do this unless he is a
fool.

Katherine was curious about why the housekeeper suddenly changed his attitude and became gentle.
He said if they could sign a long-term contract, he could give them a certain price and promised not to
increase it within the contact period. Even if he had to, it will be resettled based on market conditions.

Marshall stared at the housekeeper for a long time. So long that people around all felt it strange. Then
Marshall finally sat down and said, “We can talk if you really think so.”

Katherine finally relaxed. She was glad to call them here, otherwise, she would be defrauded by the
housekeeper.

She glanced at Marshall and suddenly felt safe and warm.

Things they discussed later had nothing to do with Katherine.

She sat on the other side and found she couldn’t understand what they were talking about. Hence, she
stood up and went beside the counter.

Margaret didn’t look well and pouted when seeing Katherine came.

She said in a low voice, “It seemed I was tricked by the housekeeper.”



Katherine also responded in a low voice, “Me too. I’ve never thought things can be so complex.”

Margaret looked to Marshall’s direction and asked, “Who is that man? He’s really a powerful man. I
found what he looked like just now was creepy.”

Katherine also turned around to look at Marshall and replied after a long time, “He’s my friend and is
running the company.”

Margaret squinted her eyes and continued, “He looks really familiar and I might have met him
somewhere.”

Katherine didn’t know how to respond. There was a great chance that she had met him on the financial
channel where he usually showed up. Besides, there was also entertainment news. People should
have recognized his face if they heard the gossips.

Katherine was chatting with Margaret by the counter, while Marshall was helping Peter with discussing
details of the contract.

They finished quickly and the housekeeper completely changed his attitude by showing a smiling face.

The housekeeper had something else to deal with. He talked with them in front of the door and then
drove away.

Katherine hurriedly went by the door when seeing the housekeeper left. She looked at Peter and
asked, “Have you made a deal?”

Peter nodded and showed a complacent smile, “This snobbish housekeeper really knows how to bully
the weak and flatter the strong. Actually, he has rented his house to several people within a year and
they all moved out. He’s actually worried about it.”



Marshall also smiled, saying, “He’s anxious but still wants to earn extra money by signing the contract. I
don’t know what he is thinking about.”

Katherine turned around and looked at the store, asking, “So you have made a deal now?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. It’s all set.” Peter looked at Katherine and smiled.

Marshall turned around and looked down on her finger.

The ring was simple and it really suited her.

He said, “He will make a new contract and will sign with us later. We have to go now.”

Katherine hurriedly nodded, “Yes. Bye.”

Marshall and Peter got on the car. The latter one spun the steering wheel and drove away.

Katherine found it relaxing when standing in front of the store.

At first, she thought they would fail on renting this store. It was a disappointing thing if they really
wanted to rent but finally failed.

Well, now she didn’t have anything emergent.

Katherine came back and bid farewell with Margaret.

She felt so comfortable when a thing was finally settled.

She went home, changed her clothes and continued to prepare the exam of driver’s license.

She could understand some of the content after learning for several days.



Actually, she could rely on herself without Marshall’s help.

However, she still had to thank him for what happened today. Even Peter could fix the problem on his
own, she still had to thank him for being here.
