It was his mistake, so he simply smiled and decided to deal with it after he was done here.
"I’ll tell you about it later. Is the owner of the establishnt here?" he asked.
"Yes." She nodded. "He’s not in the one I rented, but he owns the two buildings surrounding it as well."
"Is he a real estate developer?" he asked, curious.
"Actually, he’s one of the biggest in the area," she replied, looking further down Rainbow Street.
Many people were walking on the sidewalks, and the streets were full of carriages.
"Many of the shops on this street belong to him or belonged to him at one ti. He is the Fifth Heir of Lord Zhani, Mr. Dimash."
"Lord Zhani?" Louis turned, confused. "Who is that?"
"Zhani Jackson, when he was alive, was practically the richest man in the Industrial District. He practically created Rainbow Street. That’s why it’s commonly called Jackson’s Rainbow Street."
He nodded.
’So he’s soone important. Maybe it will take a little more work this ti.’ Louis smiled.
"Mr. Dimash is soone worthy of respect and is trying to reach the Table of 12. It’s a sha that it hasn’t worked out how he hoped, so he’s looking for allies from other places." She smiled. "Sohow, it seems that I am one of those allies."
The Table of 12 Entrepreneurs is an "organization" without a headquarters, which brings together the 12 most important entrepreneurs from across the Industrial District to discuss issues related to investnt or future movents in the business sector.
They have strong governnt support, as all their ideas have helped the city develop. They also have strong connections with the Upper District and the Scientific and Alchemical District.
The fact that Dimash was important enough to want access to that place already made him one of the most important businessn in the area.
After arriving at the building next door and entering, a well-dressed woman ca out to greet them.
"Miss Jessy, it’s been a while. Are you here to talk to Lord Dimash about sothing?" The woman who greeted them was Mr. Dimash’s secretary.
Jessy smiled. "Miss Jackson, my lord wants to talk to Mr. Dimash. Is he here?" she asked.
The secretary was stunned. ’Her master?’ She thought about what this rich woman had just said and looked at the person beside her.
Louis’s manner of dress captivated her. He was so elegant, and despite being very young, he did not carry himself arrogantly. He seed like soone you could have good conversations with, despite the strange air surrounding him that made you feel inferior to him.
Moreover, his beauty was senseless. His white hair, adorned by black and purple garnts, stood out even more.
That such a rich and innovative woman would say that this person was her "Lord" ant a lot. So great heir to so great family, surely.
That’s why she nodded.
"Very well. I will inform him... May I ask your na, young lord?" she asked quickly.
"Louis Carwine," he replied.
"Very well, Mr. Louis. Please wait a mont."
She ran up the stairs behind her and soon reached the upper office.
"Lord Dimash, an important person wants to see you." She quickly entered the room, where Dimash was alone, dealing with so important matters.
Dimash was an athletic-looking man with a chiseled face and a well-grood beard.
He was wearing a blue suit with few decorative embellishnts.
"Who?" He frowned. He didn’t rember having an important guest today, especially when he was in one of his secondary offices.
’Is soone important renting sothing today?’ he thought.
"Miss Jessy brought a young man, whom she introduced as her master. He looks like a high-ranking young master. His na is Louis Carwine."
"Oh?" Dimash raised an eyebrow, surprised and slightly curious about what he had just heard. He adjusted himself in his seat. "Bring them in." He smiled.
"Right away, Mr. Dimash." Miss Jackson left and soon returned with two people.
As soon as he saw them, Mr. Dimash greeted them.
"Mr. Louis, Miss Jessy, please co in and sit down," he said, pointing to the sofa in the center of the room while he sat down on the other one.
"Bring us so snacks, coffee, and tea," he told his secretary.
After she left to prepare what he had asked for, Louis and Jessy sat down.
Well, only Louis, as Jessy remained standing behind him of her own accord.
She was the first to speak.
"Mr. Dimash, I apologize for the sudden visit. This is my master, Lord Louis Carwine."
"As soone who rents one of my properties, your visit is always welco, Miss Jessy." He nodded to her and then looked at Louis.
"Mr. Carwine, please excuse my late introduction. I am Dimash Jackson, real estate entrepreneur." He extended his hand, and Louis nodded.
"Nice to et you, Mr. Dimash. I run a few small local businesses as well. I ca here on short notice because I’m interested in doing business with you, Mr. Dimash," Louis replied.
"Go ahead, Mr. Carwine. Tell what interests you, and if you have a deal for , we can discuss it."
"Then I’ll be frank," he said. "I’m interested in supporting Jessy in her new project, so how about selling the building next door?" he asked.
Dimash was surprised. Buying a building on Rainbow Street? That was really expensive.
But Louis wasn’t finished speaking.
"If it motivates you to sell it to , I can also buy this one and the other. I heard they’re yours, too."
Dimash frowned. ’Buy three buildings in the center of Rainbow Street just like that? Is it possible that he has that much money?’
However, after rembering that Miss Jessy, presud to be his servant, had invested a few million Jens in that business, he felt that it made sense.
If the servant has so much money, how much more must his master have?
"Mr. Carwine, I can indeed sell these three buildings, but they are expensive. Each one has five floors and is very well built. Although the paintwork is not perfect and so areas need maintenance, their cost is high, considering the current cost of housing."
Louis simply placed a blank piece of paper on the table. "Just add up the number. I’ll pay for it."
