Master of his heart

Spencer felt like he had just shot himself in the foot. And to make matters worse, Brielle wasn’t done yet. “Spencer, if you find the house transfer too bothersome, then get a realtor yourself, But I want the money from the sale in my account within a week.”

He personally couldn’t care less about material possessions; he could live under a bridge for all his life if it came to that.
