A One Night Stand With My Boss

The real estate agent had filtered some local listings according to Camila's preferences. The options all seemed promising, so they went to view the properties together.

The first place was in a nice neighborhood. Camila checked her GPS and noted it was just a half-hour walk from Connor's Cedarhill Estate.

The landlord, a local, middle-aged woman with curly hair, had received several properties from a redevelopment project. She opened the door to reveal a studio-style apartment that seemed decent despite its old furniture and scratched walls.

"The decor here is a bit dated, so the furniture and fixtures have seen better days," the landlord explained. "But the place is clean, rest assured."

Camila nodded, looking around. The natural light was quite good.

"The rent is $1,000 a month. The first and second payments are required upfront. If you're okay with it, we can go ahead and sign the lease," the landlord said, eyeing Camila.

Noticing Camila's hesitation, she added, "The previous tenant just moved out, and I've had several viewings booked today. This place is in high demand. A quick paint job, and it'll be ready to be moved into." Camila smiled and walked to the balcony, where she could clearly see Cedarhill Estate.

"The luxury Cedarhill Estate is just ahead. The rent isn't bad for this location," the agent whispered to Camila. "While living here, you might even bump into a millionaire."
