A Love Trap

Chapter 39 The Perfect Place

"I really need to rent out this shop. If it's too expensive for you, I can give you a discount. Does nine thousand sound good?" Beck offered, seeing that Ashley and Ellie were hesitating.

The place looked great and the rent Beck offered was within their budget. However, Ashley and Ellie did not plan to set up their shop here.

It was located at the end of the street; although there were many pedestrians, they seldom passed by here or stayed for a long while.

On top of that, they had looked around the street when they came to this shop. Two busy cake shops were located at the center of this street.

This was a disadvantage to Ashley and Ellie. Only a few people would come by their shop. If they did decide to set up their own cake shop here, the best case scenario for them would be to earn back what they spent without any profit.

Ashley turned to see what Ellie thought. With one look, she knew Ellie was thinking the same thing. "Thank you, Beck. But we have to think more about it carefully," Ashley said with an apologetic smile, "We're sorry."

"Okay. It doesn't matter. People often think twice before making a decision. If you decide to rent my shop, call me.

In fact, the location here is really good. I have done business here for several years. If I hadn't had family financial difficulties, I wouldn't rent it out in a hurry."

"We understand what you mean. Everyone has their problems. I'm sorry that we have to leave now. We'll call you when we've made a decision."

"Okay," Beck said with a nod. And with that, he escorted the two girls out the door.

"Thank you, Beck. We're sorry to bother you."

…

As soon as they got in the car, Ellie turned to Ashley to talk about the shop more.

"Ashley, how do you feel about that shop?" she asked.

"Do you honestly want to know what I think?" Ashley replied as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm not that convinced by it," Ashley began to explain. "The location seems good but compared to other shops in that street, that shop is too remote. There are also two other cake shops on that street. If we set up our shop there, our only customers would be mostly pedestrians coming home from work. Our business may not be that good."
