Fresh Start (jax teller)

Chapter 20

We wrapped up our coffee and headed out.
"Well thank you so much for all the great advice, I'll definitely think about Seattle."

"Taylor won't be joining us. I'm giving you a lift home." He said in an authoritative manner.

"Okay." I said and went inside his metallic grey Audi as he held the door open for me.

After the short 20 min drive, we finally arrived at my house.

"Thank you Christian, that was a fun ride, better than my Chrysler."

"Here, it's all yours." He said as he tried handing me the key.

"Oh no no no I can't-"

"Marilyn, please. I have them in each color." I could not believe what was happening. This man is giving me a 100,000 dollar car as if it was a cookie.

"Christian I really can't accept this."

"Okay." Was all he said.

"Well goodbye." I told him and started to open my door and went inside. What the fuck just happened.

About a week later, I got off from work and walked to the parking lot. To my surprise, I see Christian. I haven't seen him since last week.

"Christian, what a surprise. Are you okay?"

"Hello Marilyn, I'm perfect. I thought I'd come by and drop this off myself."

"What is this?"

"I spoke to Ms. White your realtor, she said someone wants to put an offer to your house at 1.5 million."

"What? No way. I just bought this house for damn near 400,000. I know the market has gone to shit but how is it even possible that my house has tripled in value?"

"It hasn't gone up in value. Someone just wants to buy it at that."

"Who does?" I asked and realized who it was.

"You're the buyer? Why would you do that?"

"I bought your whole neighborhood, only seemed right to buy your house too."

"I'm not gonna scam you."

"You're not scamming me I'm offering."

"Sorry I won't do it." He just sighed after my comment.

"Come away with me."

"What?"

"Come to Seattle with me. I'll show you why you should move there."

"I can't just leave I have work everyday this week. I have one day off and that's if they don't call me in."

"I'll take care of it." Was all he said. What does that even mean? I proceeded to walk towards my car but he stopped me.

"Taylor can give you a lift."

"I can drive my own my car thanks." I said and got inside. I started driving home. As soon as I got home, I see a beautiful blonde woman putting a sign in front of my house that says "SOLD".

"Oh hello, you just be Ms. Flores. I'm Ms. White your realtor, we've been speaking on the phone."

"Yes hi Ms. White."

"Mr. Grey wanted to deliver the news to you in person, it's official!" She said very excited about this sale.

"So I heard."

"Come lets have my assistant take a picture of us in front of the house." I awkwardly stood next to her as she smiled. Her assistant took the picture.
