Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 439

Diana paused at the hesitant tone and asked, “What’s wrong? Will it be inconvenient for your cousin?”

“That’s not it,” the landlord replied. “It’s just… My cousin lives off of collecting rent. While he does have a lot of money, he doesn’t usually meet people, especially beautiful women. He gets tongue–tied when he does. Still, meeting in person is needed to talk about the terms of investment. Are you willing to have a screen between you two when you meet him?”

“That won’t be difficult,” Diana said, understanding an introvert’s behavior. “It’s good enough that he has an interest in investing. You can set the time and place.”

The landlord was silent for a while. Then, she quickly replied, “We can meet at the restaurant near your studio. We’ll make the reservations and meet tonight, is that okay?”

“That soon?” Diana felt that this was going surprisingly well.

There was still some doubt in her mind.

“Yes,” the landlord replied. “I don’t have any reason to lie to you anyway, and I’m still waiting to collect rent from you. If you’re doubtful, you can bring someone with you.”

“I didn’t mean it that way.” Diana hurried to explain. “For a moment, I find your cousin’s sudden appearance a bit too coincidental…”
