After hearing what my mother said, everyone looked worried.
Clay suddenly looked at me and said, "Yara, have you bought a house?"
It came down on me like a bolt from the blue, leaving me completely stunned.
I did buy it. I bought it secretly and didn't even tell my colleagues.
How did he know?
My parents looked at me and asked, "Have you bought a house?"
I quickly calmed down and pretended to know nothing. "What? I bought a house? When did I buy it? How come I didn't know?"
"That's not right. Then why did you look for the construction team? I just remembered that I have a friend who works in construction and saw you look for the construction team to renovate. Didn't you buy it?"
My parents stared at me intently.
I smiled and said, "You mean that house? That belongs to my colleague. I helped her find the construction team. She just bought a house and asked me to help her."
"How can I afford to buy a house? It's so expensive. I'm still living in a rental house now!"
My mother was relieved to hear me say that, and she held my hand and said, "If you want to buy a house, you have to discuss it with us. After all, it's a big deal."
My parents were busy renting the house and moving those days.
One night, three of them sneaked out and didn't come back until a long time later.
The three of them came back beaming with joy.
I could guess it without them telling me. The so-called Mr. Gray gave them dividends.
I curled the corners of my mouth, that was great.
