Chapter 9
“Try to contain your enthusiasm when we look at this house, Mr. Harrigan,” Natalia Kosimov, Clark’s real estate agent, warned as they approached the ranch-style house in the Los Angeles suburb, Glendale. The dark-haired beauty, who originally came from Russia, had been one of Clark’s firm’s clients, Clark had told Thomas, and also a good friend.
This was the third house they’d visited since they started Saturday morning. Natalia had started off telling them not to show too much enthusiasm when viewing a property because that told the seller more than they needed to know. Thomas, naturally enthusiastic, had had trouble curbing it at the last home in front of the owner, a friendly doctor, and her adult daughter.
His cheeks warmed. “Sorry. I’ll try to do better this time.”
Clark
