Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 264
The landlady beamed at Ariana, “Did you sleep well last night?”
“I did, thank you,” replied Ariana with a smile as she locked her door.
Observing that the unit across the hall was nearly empty, Ariana inquired curiously, “Aren’t you living in this apartment? Why are
you moving out all of a sudden?”
The landlady’s expression was elated as she explained excitedly, “Someone has taken a fancy to this apartment and rented it at
ten times the price!”
“Ten times the price?” Ariana was taken aback. This individual was evidently wealthy beyond measure. The property value in
Eleymond was not cheap, let alone in this area, which was in proximity to a scenic attraction.
The landlady’s grin grew wider as she exclaimed, “Yes, and he is a handsome young man. Aren’t you single? Perhaps you can
try to get to know him. Let me tell you, that man is gorgeous. It’s a rarity to see such a fine specimen of a young man.”
Ariana opened her mouth to say no, but the landlady kept on talking, her voice so loud and overpowering that Ariana couldn’t
even hear herself think.
The landlady glanced at her watch and exclaimed, “He should be here any moment now.”
Ariana was rendered speechless. The only sound that permeated the silence was the landlady’s excited tapping of her foot. As if
on cue, the elevator came to an abrupt halt on their floor.

“That must be him. He’s here!” With a wide grin spreading across her face, the landlady grabbed Ariana’s arm and pointed
excitedly at the slowly opening elevator doors, as if a grand performance was about to begin.
As the elevator doors opened, Ariana’s heart leaped in anticipation.
With bated breath and heightened anticipation, Ariana eagerly awaited the man’s arrival. The landlady’s claim of his stunning
good looks made her heart flutter with excitement.
She hoped that he was indeed as handsome as the landlady had claimed, as she would have loved to ask if he was interested in
becoming a model or an actor. She was looking for some new talents, anyway.
But as the elevator doors opened, the sight that greeted her was not what she expected. Instead of a dashing young man, a
group of uniformed workers emerged, each carrying a toolbox in hand. Disappointed, Ariana let out a soft sigh.
The landlady was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the workers, and quizzically inquired, “And who might you be?”
The foreman, with a professional air, showed her the commission certificate and responded with a sense of authority, “We are
the team appointed to undertake the structural renovations of the apartment as per the 808 resident’s request.”
The apartment numbered 808 lay directly opposite Ariana’s. The two places were like mirror images of each other, connected by
a narrow hallway. The landlady snapped out of her daze and plastered a welcoming smile on her face, ushering the workers into
the apartment.
“Just do as he said. When we signed the contract, we agreed that the right to use this apartment would be his,” she instructed
them. ©

Ariana’s jaw hung open, and she battled to stifle her surprise. Had her new neighbor purchased the apartment? Or was he a
man of such wealth that he could afford to throw a fortune into renovations and rent?
Either way, it was none of her business, and she had work to get to. She resolved to bid the landlady goodbye and head out.
Alas, the landlady had other plans. She was adamant that Ariana stay for a blind date, much to the latter’s annoyance.
The landlady’s tone was fervent, almost like she was speaking about the only person who could save the world from doom.
“Trust me, my dear, you cannot afford to miss out on him. He’s handsome and wealthy. You probably won’t find a better man
than him in Eleymond,” she urged Ariana.
