Unbreak My Heart

The first time Ashley laid her eyes on this place, she was instantly captivated by it. She loved everything about it, every detail, and every little nook and cranny. It was truly love at first sight.

Ashley smiled. This place already made her feel pleased.

It was just as Selma had said. The decorations were new and fresh. The whole place exuded an air of wonderful freshness.

Ashley looked around the room and then turned to look at Selma. "Wow, it's a nice place," said Ashley.

Selma smiled at Ashley and was very pleased herself. "It's great, isn't it? I took a look at it myself, and I thought it would be perfect for your needs. The couple who occupied it, just moved out recently. It has only been two days before you came today. Perfect timing, if you ask me.

You can stay here, or if you want, you can even rent out the bedroom. I won't mind."

Ashley smiled at Selma. She was really helpful and very accommodating. Ashley was grateful to have made her acquaintance. "Thank you very much I appreciate your flexible terms.

So Selma, how much is the rent?"

Ashley went straight to the point. She was already intent on taking the place.

Paying the rent would be her primary concern, but Ashley didn't want to lose this chance. She just had to have this apartment.

"I haven't asked them the rental rate yet. But you have seen the quality of this house. It's much better than the other ones you could find outside. Besides, it has just been decorated. Wait a minute. I will ask them."

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

Ashley strolled around the room and turned to the kitchen.

The kitchen was clean enough with all the necessary amenities that Ashley would need.

Ashley walked into the bedroom and took a look around. The bedroom looked clean and neat. The sheets were all in order, and it looked like the perfect place to catch some sleep after a hectic day.

A small picture sat beside the bed, on a small drawer. The picture caught Ashley's attention, and her eyes were immediately drawn to it.

It was a wedding photo and in it, the bride was in a white wedding dress. The groom wa

ly there is always somebody at home in my family. You can knock at the door any time if you need anything. By the way, let's exchange phone numbers, so that we can contact each other more easily as necessary," said Selma.

Ashley nodded with a smile, "Okay."

They saved each other's phone number and added each other on WeChat. Selma stopped Ashley, who was about to leave, and said, "Miss Mu, wait a minute."

Ashley said, "Selma, you can just call me Ashley. Miss Mu sounds strange."

"Okay, Ashley," replied Selma.

"Let me ask my son to help you with your luggage at the hotel. I mean, he doesn't do anything but play video games all day. Best that he get out and move around, right?"

Ashley shook her head. "Oh no! It will be too much of a bother. I don't want to be a burden. It's okay. I can do it on my own."

Selma shook her head and insisted. "No, no. You're not familiar with this place, and you need some help moving in. Please, I insist. It would be good for him. You'd better let him go with you and get him something to do."

Ashley slapped her forehead softly. Selma had just unintentionally reminded Ashley of her own little nuances. She was not very good at directions. She always found herself lost in just about anywhere she went.

She might not know how to get back to the hotel if she went down later.

Perhaps it would not be such a bad idea to ask for her son's help, after all.
