Chapter 172- White Palace
As Valerie strolled into the estate agency’s office, she hadn’t expected to find Nina seated there already.
"Hi, Valerie," Even Nina was taken by surprise when found her there, "What are you doing here?" she asked her good-naturedly.
"The plan is to move to Kanderton for the long term, Nina," she lifted a shoulder with a smirk and looked for another seat, "so this is the ideal place for help."
Nina gave a subtle nod to her head and got up shaking hands with the agent, "Thanks, Mary. Do give me a call if you find something according to my interest."
She then turned to her daughter-in-law, "What a coincidence. I’m also here for the same reason, Val."
Looking outside through the glass wall where Geena stood leaning against the car, she informed Valerie, "I’m going to MSin. Will you be joining me today?"
Valerie smiled and shook her head. Thankfully she had asked Ethan to join her after a few minutes in the agency. Just like an assistant was expected to do, "Of course, Nina," Valerie tucked her hair behind her ear, "We can’t let those insects devour our crops. Nowadays insecticides are too expensive." Nina laughed loudly at this.
She was aware Valerie was talking about Marissa.
"I know. And I like the spirit. Come soon so that we can plan something good!" Nina gave a playful punch on her shoulder and put on her shades before walking out of the office.
Valerie took the same seat and gave the female estate agent, her best smile. She was wearing a badge that said Mary.
"What can I do for you, Ms. ..." she trailed off, giving Valerie a questioning look when their eyes met.
