By midafternoon, Martin emerged from Louise's place and headed back to his home in the North District of Sunset Boulevard. After a brief wait, Nicholson and Leonardo arrived one after the other.
Having admired Martin's new house, the three of them sat down to enjoy tea under the European-style gazebo in the backyard.
Leonardo exclaimed, "Buying this place for 12 million US Dollars, you made too much! Tell me if there are more properties like this, Martin, you must introduce one to me."
Before Martin could reply, Nicholson chimed in, "First, you need to find a rich guy like Pitt, then wait for him to get tangled in problems and have his cash flow cut off, that's when an opportunity arises."
Leonardo picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and changed the topic, "Does Lily have any large sculptures? While her works are still affordable, I would like to buy some at a low price and just sit back and wait for their value to increase."
