Miranda knew exactly what he was thinking, but- "Even if we're not going to live in it, let's hang on to it for now," she said.
"Hang on to it for what?" Lionel was puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough." "That's pretty mysterious of you..." Lionel muttered.

At 10:00 am, Sophia was already waiting at the sales office entrance. When she saw Milanda, she flashed abright smile and said, “Ms. Sutton, over here!" "The paperwork is pretty straightforward. It won't take long," she explained as they walked inside.
