Chapter 30: The Beginning of Cohabitation
Once Rebecca appears in front of a man as a gender, her nature is all swayed, becoming delicate and indulgent, docile and willful, considerate and domineering. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No matter how great Chopin is, he can't remember my mood at this moment." James didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly thought of this sentence, and couldn't help but blurt it out thoughtfully.
And Rebecca, instead of telling a sad story because of the sadness of an unfortunate survival rippling in these words, they weighed heavily on her heart word by word, and she knew that this was James changing the emotional card, just to understand the reason why she was here in full detail.
So Rebecca said domineeringly: "The weather is good today, let's talk about the details now!" ”
"It seems that I only have the right to use the house now!" James said seriously.
Rebecca said silently without superfluous movements: "The ownership is mine, and my house is huge!" ”
The two have bad intentions towards each other, but this is normal, this is a negotiation about cohabitation, heterosexual cohabitation may be a good thing, but a person who has the potential to become a lawyer, a serious policeman, if he is not careful, is likely to fall into a nasty quagmire, James is very clear, so he continued:
"You're also a prospective student at law school, don't you know the terms of the lease after we sign the lease contract, the right to use it will be mine?"
"Huh! Is it? How I don't know, maybe you can look at the last clause of the landlord's right in the contract! Rebecca's sexy thin lips raised an unfathomable smile.
These words made James not nervous, and his whole body was as hot as if there was a fire burning! A contract drawn up by a landlord, a contract that the tenant did not have a lawyer to review, and in front of a landlord who aspires to the law, he feels that he has been ruthlessly forced several times.
"So you left a trap? You use what you've learned to pit the police, don't you know that it's a big crime? I can handcuff you now without any surprises! James pretended to be calm, and his right hand felt like he really needed handcuffs, and felt to his waist.
"I'm so scared, Officer!" Rebecca said coquettishly.
Girls usually use this cruelty and domineering to express their trust in a man, but Rebecca does not trust James, but believes that the lease agreement she has made is perfect.
Because in that contract, there is a sentence: in case of dispute, the owner of the house has the final right to interpret this contract! Including any request to the renter!
Seeing Rebecca's expression and behavior, James knew that his threat would not work, and he would not change anything, and he knew that she must have left enough room for herself to do her tricks, but it was a pity that she was not serious and careful, did not hire a real lawyer, and signed a contract with the other party.
After staring at each other for a long time, James first sighed, then slumped on the sofa and said, "How to calculate the rent, I want to check out!" ”
"Check out! Yes, the rent paid is non-refundable, you can pack up your things and get out! Rebecca said categorically, then sat down on the couch across from James.
"So there's no room for negotiation?" James closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to face Rebecca, maybe that would give him some comfort.
No matter what the other party's expression is or what ideas she has, Rebecca has a good way to deal with it from the beginning, and when the contract is formulated, she foresees all kinds of problems, but because she doesn't hate James, maybe she likes it a little, so after thinking for a while, she said:
"It's not nothing, so let's do it, as long as you pay my rent for three years, I can go to live elsewhere now, and the right to use it belongs to you for three years, and I promise not to cheat!"
"No money!" James replied crisply.
"Very good, as long as you agree that I will stay here until the end of the summer vacation, I can give you a month's rent free!" Rebecca brought up the old story again, and said her request very seriously.
"You don't look at people if you want money, do you think I'm the kind of rich person, a rich second generation? Or what CEO? James really couldn't touch the other party for a while, so he seemed to be weak, but in fact, he didn't know how much he thought about it.
"Excellent! Then I choose for myself, I want to stay, and the contract is the evidence, this is a fact that none of us can change. "Rebecca is really like a lawyer at this time, aggressive.
James wanted to leave behind, but his money had been given to the other party, and now he relied on a half-dead credit card, even if Rebecca agreed to return the money, but he couldn't find a more suitable place to live for a while.
Just after James stood up suddenly, he was about to say something threatening, and Rebecca was also frightened by his sudden movements, but when the words came to his lips, they were interrupted by something else.
Bell bell bell!
The stars in the sky were shining, as if they had been sown with those bright grains into the infinite space, and the moon hung its sickle-like silhouette in the center of those sown grains against the sky.
When the words came to his mouth, he was about to speak, but the thing rang again, and if he didn't go, James also felt that he was just a little impulsive, so he hummed and said to Rebecca: "I'll open the door!" ”
Rebecca listened with a look of surprise on her face.
"Uh-huh!"
What else can be said? Disagree? Obviously, this is not in line with their own ideas, and it is not helpful to negotiate, so it is better to see who is ringing the doorbell, take a short break, and think of a better way for James to accept, Rebecca thought welled up in her heart, and watched the other party go in the direction of the gate.
The door opened, and when he saw a man's face, James was suddenly upset, and he rushed out of the door to tell what had happened to him, while looking at a scene outside the door.
"A bird in a tree, a cat on the ground. The cat on the ground wants to bite the bird in the tree, and the bird in the tree wants to peck at the cat's hair. The man outside the door snorted and said that he was only reminding the other party slightly, and that was all.
……
For some reason, James didn't go out, and the people outside the door weren't invited in, they started a discussion there, but this situation didn't affect Rebecca, her face was calm, she got up and went to the direction of the kitchen, she stayed alone in the kitchen, as if she thought of something, but her throat was itchy and uncomfortable, like a lot of small insects crawling out of her throat.
"The big ship carries the sun—barely surviving the day," said James, as he entered the house, followed by a man who seemed to be swaggering through the city.
Frank listened handily, yes, it was James's little hair, a good friend, but he was full of humor at the moment, not like visiting James's place, because he had been here a few times, and he was more looking for someone, looking for Rebecca, the landlord who suddenly wanted to live with the other party.
James came to the living room again, a little restless to move, but he couldn't exert his strength, like a poplar fluttering in the spring breeze, and his body was light and weak, and he couldn't fly far.
"Do I really want to live like this?" James said helplessly.
"I think that's very good, are you still afraid of a teenage girl, she should be afraid!" Frank didn't see Rebecca, but what did it matter, he would naturally see it later, as long as she was still in the house.
James seems to have figured it out, and indeed as Frank said, how can a man be afraid of a prospective college student who has just become an adult and has not yet stepped into society!
Besides, no matter what happens after that, James won't suffer.
"Alright! That's all there is to it! James accepted the advice of his good friend and said seriously.
People are like this sometimes, maybe because the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, James never thought at the beginning, men and women are in the same room, even if they don't want anything to happen, they will definitely not be themselves, and besides, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and he can be free of rent, so what's not to do.
It may be that Rebecca is not used to wearing a bathrobe in front of too many people, so her shy look when she appears again, coupled with Frank's not very healthy expression, she doesn't know how to deal with it, there is no experience here, it is purely out of a woman's nature.
Rebecca noticed that James, who was a few meters away from her, had bent her broad shoulders forward slightly in response to Frank's words when she arrived, and under her broad forehead, two thick eyebrows twitched slightly, and a pair of eyelids showed tired and energetic eyes, looking at her with encouragement and expectation—for a moment, she was a little flustered, and although she had already thought of some ways to deal with it, it seemed that she did not anticipate this scene......
Tightening the bathrobe on her body, Rebecca took a deep breath, whether Frank was there or not, she had to continue the negotiation with James just now, if the terms were not finalized, she really couldn't feel at ease, not because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but because she was such a person.
Rebecca began to talk, and at the beginning she heard several broken sentences leaking out of her mouth, which was the most taboo in a negotiation, so she paused a little to calm down, and in a second or two she caught a glimpse of Frank nodding slightly to her, as if he was very happy to listen to her opinions and requests.
Immediately gained confidence and strength, shook off his short hair, and began to talk loudly......
"I see." James listened quietly at first when Rebecca said his conditions, and with a seemingly calm expression on his face, he only said one sentence.
"I agree!" James continued to answer Rebecca's question.
"I have no opinion."
"I know it's useless for me to say anything, so please continue!"
"Are you finished?"
"Good!"
……
Rebecca is in charge of the terms, James doesn't need her to explain, in addition to responding to agree, or responding to agree, this is also a matter of no way, after accepting the fact of cohabitation, he thought clearly, any request is fine, he wants to take a bath and sleep now, there is no idle time to talk nonsense.
"Happy working together!" Rebecca finally stretched out her hand when she had finished her request, expressing her satisfaction with the meeting.
"I hate to say it, but you really have potential!" James didn't shake hands with the other party, but after saying this, he stood up.
“……”
"Now that you're done talking, I propose that we have a drink and celebrate, and you're going to start the dog man and woman lifestyle!" Frank didn't know when he had gone to get the wine and glasses, and when James and Rebecca finished talking, a bottle of red wine appeared behind them, along with three goblets.
Here is the time to be continued again, to be continued, to be continued......
