"Lease? What if I want to rent both floors?” Brandy looked at Marc with a challenging look. Marc scribbled on the notebook and pushed it in front of Brandy. He found the words eight thousand US dollars extremely neat. Brandy laughed: "Only about seven and a half thousand dollars."
“Finish it! No bets! Nothing more to add! You and I understand each other very well.” Marc raised his eyebrows, smiling with an extremely wicked expression. Brandy glared at Marc and then mumbled curses at him.
During his time as a real estate agent, Marc always felt quite curious about Brandy. Although Marc has repeatedly asked Brandy, his life is still a mystery. The only thing Marc knows about Brandy is his fortune. Marc can imagine how rich Brandy is when he often travels and barely cares about the cost of the rent. Brandy has never bought a house, but the money he has paid so far is enough to buy a few apartments in New York.
Brandy tends not to settle into any place or relationship for several months. Brandy's rented apartments are still not as few as the number of girls who have slept with him. Marc instructed Brandy to fill out a few notes so that they could both conveniently sign Christina. While Brandy was engrossed in writing, Marc suddenly asked: "Why do you have a house but won't stay? Isn't your family's real estate enough to satisfy you?"
Brandy dropped the pen on the table. His hair fell on his forehead as he looked at Marc. Brandy gave a bored smile: "I'm not looking for a home. I'm looking for a home to return to."
While Brandy and Marc discussed the lease, Brandy's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the screen and abruptly hung up. Marc was not surprised by this action of his. No less than ten times, he witnessed Brandy ruthlessly dealing with mistresses. Marc did not dare to say anything, just quietly continued his work. But when he saw Brandy's demands in the contract, Marc felt highly unreasonable, so he had to say: "I know you always have strict requirements for others, but these terms are real. Rabidity. Have to meet at home for dinner at least once a week? Sounds like post-divorce?”
Brandy signed the paper, took a copy, and put it in his pocket. He looked at Marc with a rather smug look: “Seven and a half thousand dollars is worth it. But I remind you that you should complete all the legal formalities. I don't have time for these."
Marc was silent, unable to respond. He knew Brandy's personality was relaxed but not an easily overpowered i***t. After all, Marc is just a service provider for Brandy and Christina, so he has a responsibility to put the interests of both sides most proportionately and harmoniously possible. Marc clearly understands his limits and position.
After discussing a few final terms of the contract, Brandy reminded Marc to prepare to take him to the Violet Villa to have a look. He wants that when he moves in, he will not need to edit any other utilities. Marc nodded in agreement and sent him to the door of the company. Brandy's departure from TA Real Estate Brokerage brought passionate glances from other girls. Of course, a few guys also can't resist his charm.
Marc had just returned to his office when he looked up at the ceiling, where the splendid patterns of angels were playing with each other. He silently thanked me: "Perhaps somewhere in Heaven, there is always a day to bless every step of the way."
Marc's smile makes New York's winter much warmer until he meets the jealous eyes of his colleagues - people who have died of thirst and starvation for more than two months because of a lack of energy. Sign any contract. And Marc had just made a historic hit by getting the rental agreement of Violet Villa and also a tiny commission every month from Brandy. Marc responds with a sharp look and everyone turns a blind eye or gives him his signature industrial smile.
As for Brandy, after leaving TA Real Estate Brokerage, he headed to a small coffee shop nearby. He had just walked a few steps when he accidentally saw Marcel approaching. His face did not look happy at all. Marcel looked at Brandy angrily and motioned for Brandy to follow him. Although a bit surprised by Marcel's attitude, Brandy still did not hesitate to run after him.
The two walked into a small coffee shop together, and the first thing Marcel told Brandy was his disappointment with him: “Brandy, I know you've always had your own goals, but ever since have you started eyeing my position as Sales Manager?”
“You have your eyes on the position of Sales Manager? Do you mean the Sales Manager of a Morverick Group company? Come on. I don't want to be stuck there with my dad. You know how upset he is.” Brandy rolled her eyes at Marcel. He felt a little angry when he heard his dear uncle upset about this. Brandy is a very competitive guy, like him. Like a fierce tiger that always wants to expand its territory, Brandy's concept of territory has absolutely no problems related to her parents.
Brandy heard Marcel's tone and realized that something stupid had happened at the company and that no one but his father could do it.
Surprise flashed in Marcel's eyes. He thought for a moment and then suddenly pushed the phone in Brandy's face. He picked up the phone and started looking at the screen. Inside was a notice explaining Marcel's retirement and the matter of handing over the job to Brandy. Brandy's handsome face immediately darkened. He couldn't imagine when Brandy Morverick's name appeared in the announcement. He looked at Marcel and shouted: “Marcel, uncle… are you kidding me? I swear I know nothing. Sales director? I'm investing in many other companies right now, and I don't want to waste my time on these."
Marcel had no other choice, so he told Brandy everything: “Actually, I thought the corporation's Chairman would consider you for the CEO position instead of your father. However, to my surprise, he suggested that I temporarily take over the Sales Manager position after you retire. Unfortunately, I already have plans for a successor. She is extremely talented. You have no idea how much I trusted her. But…"
Brandy sighed. He said that he personally only helped General Manager John Morverick once, and that was to sign a contract with General Manager Jonathan Kim because he was his best friend. Hearing this, Marcel understood what had happened to Jonathan Kim's agreement. He also told him everything at the meeting to announce the personnel plan.
Brandy thinks John Morverick behaved severely. He told Marcel that he would not appear at the company to buy time to help Marcel arrange human resources. Brandy said helplessly: “I have lived with my father for a long time. So I won't be stupid enough to fall into his trap again. But don't worry, I won't go there."
Marcel laughed. He said to Brandy: “I'm so lucky I found you here. I never had to call you. Could it be… are you still hiding from your mother?”
“Uncle Marcel, my life always seems to be hiding from women. But please don't talk like you don't understand my family. Did you know that people with schizophrenia always hear voices in their heads? With me, that voice is always beside me every day, every hour, every meal. Do you know how I had to live?" Brandy tries not to let negative emotions show. Marcel patted Brandy's shoulder.
In times like these, he thought, words were superfluous, but he still had to say: “I'm sorry, I didn't think she'd be so scary. I know you had a bad childhood. More than anyone, I think that more or less makes you a bad guy to the women in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn... and wherever your feet go. Stand up like the man I used to know. Be frank with your family and move on with your life. Remember that life is like a cup of coffee. Bitter or sweet is up to each person's taste, but it still makes us awake and excited, right?"
Marcel quickly drank his coffee. After that, he also took a piece of cake into his mouth, ate it deliciously, and walked away, saying: "You paid this time! You're going to retire soon."
Brandy laughed at Marcel. For him, Marcel was an indispensable part of the family. Brandy recalls the day he first met Marcel at a dinner like this. Marcel goes to Brandy's house to prepare a project file for his father. Marcel's relaxed, comfortable appearance at that time over a cup of coffee made Brandy feel a hundred times warmer than her father. That's why he always considers himself his second father.
