Isabella Clark stared at her phone screen, filled with transaction confirmation messages. That evening, she had just purchased four shophouses at once from Sophia, a young, enthusiastic property agent. They were sitting in a private room at a Japanese restaurant in XX City, the aroma of food wafting softly.
"I'm taking all four of these shophouses, Sophia. Please contact the owners right now, because I want to finalize the transaction tonight," Isabella said in a firm yet polite tone. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, signaling that she wanted everything done quickly.
Sophia paused for a moment, her eyes widening in surprise. "Four shophouses at once? Are you serious, Isabella? You mean those four shophouses we saw this afternoon? The ones in the downtown business district?" she asked, even though she knew Isabella rarely joked about business.
