Chapter 183: How Many Girls Do You Want To Keep There?
Samuel, who had no idea about anything and couldn't understand why someone would need that many rooms, thought for a few moments before he answered with a nod of his head.
"Yes, there is a property that fits all the requirements, with the total number of bedrooms crossing 70. However, it is located on the outskirts of the city, and it is a manor that was built during the time of the Second World War. The last owner of that place was a wealthy businessman, and that manor was built around 50 years ago. But I have visited the place before, and we did all the repair and renovation of the place around a year ago according to modern styles, and the structure and walls are strong without any issues."
"However, due to the property size being that huge, there wasn't anyone interested in buying it. The price is $55 million, but the owner would surely be willing to reduce the price after finding a potential buyer. So, why don't you visit the place? If you like it, we can talk about the price."
"That would be wonderful. Do you have time now, Mr. Jones? We can visit that property." Lucifer asked, but Samuel shook his head and answered.
"I apologize, but I have to attend an important meeting soon; however, if you want to go right now, I can have someone take you there and give you a tour."
At that moment, Jessica chimed in, "Why don't I accompany Mr. Reynolds there? He might feel more at ease seeing the property if someone he knows is with him."
"That's a good idea. So, are you both okay with that?" Samuel asked Lucifer, as he had no issues and it would be even better for him if Jessica were the one to show him the property instead of a stranger.
"Yes. That works for me." Saying that, Lucifer smiled and winked at Jessica in secret.
"Good then. Let me make a quick call." After speaking, Samuel went to the other side of his office, keeping his voice low to not bother Lucifer.
It wasn't long before he came back to them. "The staff at the place is already aware of the situation, so they will be prepared and ready to help you. You can just go straight to the location, and they will be there for you to answer any queries and give a tour of the property."
"Thank you, Mr. Jones." Lucifer rose from his seat and shook his hand once more before leaving the office with Jessica.

When both of them stepped inside his car, Lucifer spoke with his usual confident smile, "Thanks to the business meeting of Mr. Jones, we have got some time for ourselves. But I didn't expect you to volunteer yourself to guide me to that property. So what's on your mind?"
Jessica didn't know if it was her husband's absence or simply being around Lucifer that made her feel more at ease. She relaxed, feeling a newfound confidence, and looked Lucifer square in the eye as she spoke her mind.
"You know what's on my mind, Lucifer. But we need to be careful. And why did you do that in the elevator? What if someone had seen us kissing?"
"Well, I didn't see any cameras inside the elevator." Lucifer said in a nonchalant manner. Then he moved his right hand and rested it on her thigh, rubbing and squeezing the soft flesh in a teasing way. "So, you liked that kiss, right?"
"Yes, of course..." Jessica murmured as she couldn't take her eyes off of Lucifer's hand on her thigh. "And that's why we are talking about it, you moron. It was a sudden move that shocked me to my core, and it would be bad if we were seen doing that."
"Hahaha..." Lucifer laughed, enjoying the feeling of Jessica's soft skin against his hand. "Well, you are right, and sorry about that, Jessica. But I wanted to steal a kiss in the same building as your husband, so I had to take a chance, and the thrill of the risk was exciting for me."
"You are crazy. You know that?" Jessica shook her head in mock frustration as a playful smile spread across her lips.
She had also felt the rush, and it was a unique feeling that was hard to resist. The idea of getting caught added a thrilling element that made her heart beat faster and her cheeks flush with warmth. It made her realize that maybe she wasn't so different from Lucifer in this aspect. The risk and excitement were a part of what made their affair so captivating to both of them.
"I know, and I am a pervert too." Lucifer agreed, "But you love that about me."
"Maybe," Jessica said in a teasing way before adding, "And I am still shocked by the kind of house you want, Lucifer. How many girls do you want to keep there? 50? Can you even handle that many at once? And why do you think I would be with you after knowing you are such a playboy? You know what... Nevermind, just drive to that place already."
"Hahaha... I sure can manage that many girls. But don't worry, there aren't that many girls with me now. I am just planning for the future."
