“Got it!”

Sophie glanced at the complex. She had considered renting a place here when she decided to come to Eastwood Collegem but describing these apartments as merely expensive was an understatement. Qualifications were needed to live here.
Colby must have gone through a lot of trouble to secure this apartment for her.
“Go in and see if you like how it’s fumished” There was a softness in Colby’s eyes.

“No, I really like it. Sophie turned to Colby, “Thank you.”
“Won’t it be too dull for you?”
“Not at all, I like it simple and quiet”

“Not cool, man. Are you insane? Charging her rent? Are you that strapped for cash?” Adler was almost ready to kick Colby. “No wonder you’ve been single for twenty–six years.”
“Just a strategy,” Colby replied nonchalantly.
“She knows the apartment is expensive. Giving it to her for free might make her feel uneasy staying there.” Colby slightly curved his lips, “Besides, the more she owes, the harder it is to clear the debt, and the more I get to see her.”
Adler was stunned, “Holy crap!”
