Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 305 Eccentric Woman

Eliot's clothes were stolen, so he couldn't get changed. He was a decent man, but now, he looked shabby and his chin was covered with stubbles. Actually, his shirt now was half-dry for he had washed it last night. He didn't wear a coat, so he felt cold. His shoes were clean and there was a soap smell in his hair.

Sydnee was thinking if he had washed his hair with a soap.

He said he had been robbed on the phone. She thought that he just lost some valuable things. But it seemed that all the things that he owned had been stolen.

She hesitated and then took off her scarf and handed it to him.

Eliot waved his hand and said, "No, thank you."

Sydnee couldn't bear to see Emily's brother suffer, so she walked forward and put on the scarf for him. When she touched his face, she was surprised by the temperature.

Because his face was so cold.

Eliot stood quietly and lowered his head, "Thank you."

"It doesn't matter." Sydnee then handed a bag over, "Here you are."

"I will..." Eliot took it awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Sydnee. "Don't worry. You don't have to pay me right back." Actually, the money was Emily's. "Thanks... Thank you very much." Eliot lowered his head.

He didn't want to borrow money from his friends, because he refused to abase himself in the eyes of them. But he never thought that he would be looked down upon by the others. Looking at Sydnee, he suddenly realized the reason why Marquise liked her. She was so nice.

"Do you have a plan to move?" Sydnee asked, "I knew many real estate agents well. I can help you replace a cheap and safe house."

Eliot looked at her and said again, "Thank you."

Sydnee felt embarrassed and said, "You have thanked me many times. Stop it!"

Sydnee thought Emily was the one he should thank. After all, she paid for all.

Eliot went back to his residence and packed up. Then he asked the landlord to refund a partial deposit. The landlord thought that Eliot was wealthy, so he refused to give him the refund. Now he needed his money back since he had tightened his belts for saving more these days. However, he never thought his landlord would keep his money.

The landlord ignored the rental agreement and refused to give him the refund. At that time, Sydnee called Eliot. She noticed his situation, so he explained to her briefly. After he finished, Sydnee hung up the phone.

Not long after, a car arrived.

The landlord was smoking at the door when Sydnee got out of the car. Seeing that it was a girl, he sneered, "Eliot, you called a girl for help?"

But the landlord's face instantly turned pale when he saw a uniformed policeman behind Sydnee. He gave the money back to Eliot right away and said, "The amount is right? Now go!"

...

He looked at Sydnee and then at the police officer, "Who is he?"

Sydnee introduced the policeman to Eliot, "He is my friend and I happened to meet him on the street. He was on patrol. I told him about your problem, so he comes to help.

Last time when Sydnee bought fake seeds at Tea Market, Jaquan used Ferne's name to call the police. This man was one of those policemen. While Sydnee was inquiring the way, he recognized her and offered protection for her because he thought it unsafe for her to go alone.

The landlord was afraid of being questioned and had slipped away quietly.

When the policeman entered the room, Eliot gave Sydnee a searching look. Sydnee noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You knew agents and even police officers. You seem to be well-connected." Eliot gave her a sincere compliment.

Eliot's words brought a blush to Sydnee's cheeks. She was withdrawn at the university. After she graduated, she got to know quite a few people. In the process of helping Emily buy a house and do decorations she knew people such as real estate agents, the bosses of the decoration companies, furniture stores and electrical appliances and even some tea shopkeepers. Emily also introduced Harold, Jaquan and Vincent to her. Thanks to Emily, she could have a chance to know them.

By the way, Eliot was Emily's brother and that was the reason why she had helped him a lot.

Sydnee then looked up at Eliot. Although he was in a pickle now, he was full of energy. His hair was nicely combed and his shoes were clean. He lowered his head slightly and his long fringe made him look like a college student.

When he brushed his fringe off his forehead, he saw Sydnee staring at him.

They were both stunned.

'She liked me?'

Eliot felt a little nervous when he thought of this. He tried to say something to hide his emotions, "Maybe I need a haircut."

Sydnee tilted her head to see the policeman examining the footprints in the room. Then, she took out her phone and showed some pictures of the houses to Eliot, "Take a look, which one do you like?" Eliot was still thinking if Sydnee like him. So, he didn't take the phone right away but just kept looking at those pictures. Sydnee didn't get an answer, so she walked closer and asked again, "Which one?" "The rent is just 1, 000?" Eliot was slightly surprised to see the price. He could smell the fragrance of tea on the scarf. Without the scarf, Sydnee's neck was empty. There was not even a necklace but a loose strand of hair on her fair skin.

Eliot stepped aside quietly.

"Yes." Sydnee said calmly.

After all, Eliot was Emily's brother. For fear of injuring his pride, Sydnee wouldn't offer him a free flat. But he just needed to pay a small amount of that money.

Eliot wanted to replace a flat as soon as possible. It would be nice if he could move in today, so he looked at those pictures carefully. Sydnee did not speak but showed him many pictures she had saved before in the phone one by one.

The policeman finally came out of the house. He felt depressed to see Sydnee and Eliot looking at the phone closely, because he had difficulties in getting the chance to stay with her early today. He couldn't stand if she had liked someone else.

He sighed softly.

Sydnee saw him coming out, then she handed the phone to Eliot and walked to the policeman and asked, "How is it? Do you have any replaceings?"

The policeman remained bitter, but he had to conceal his unhappiness.

He calmed himself down and said, "New Year is coming, so thieves are active these days. They all want to make a fortune in theft and go home happily. It's hard to replace the thief if he's not native. I will take the footprints back to the police station and compare them in database. And I'll call you if I replace anything.

Sydnee nodded. They exchanged numbers and introduced themselves.

Eliot was looking at the pictures on the phone, but somehow, he looked up at the policeman and saw a big smile on his face.

Sydnee also smiled politely. Then, she looked at her watch and asked, "Sorry, it's taken you so long. Have you eaten?"

The policeman waved his hand and said, "Never mind. I'm going back. It's not too much trouble."

Sydnee felt sorry, "I'll buy you lunch. Thanks for all your help."

The policeman hesitated and said, "Alright." He thought it would not cost Sydnee too much, so he agreed soon.

They walked towards the car. Sydnee took her phone and asked Eliot, "Do you want to join us?"

She asked him in a polite tone as if Eliot was her colleague.

The policeman was about to get into the backseat when Sydnee spoke. He quickly turned to Sydnee and asked, "You two aren't couple?" Sydnee was surprised. After a while, she smiled. "No, we are not. Maybe you can introduce a girlfriend to him."

Eliot fixed his eyes on Sydnee when she said. Sydnee added, "I heard that policewomen are very beautiful, but I have never seen any of them."

The policeman laughed, "There are only policemen in our police station." As he spoke, he got into the driver seat as if he was the owner of the car.

Eliot raised his eyebrows and got in the backseat.

The policeman and Sydnee were talking happily.

Eliot got into the car with just the bag that Sydnee had given him. Sitting in the back seat, he looked in the bag. There were five tea boxes in it and each box had ten thousand inside. There were also five coupons, three 500 notes and two 1, 000 notes.

Eliot had never expected that Sydnee would help him. She even promised to lend him money when he wanted to borrow 5, 000, 000.

He had a hard time these days. He was kicked out and all his assets were stolen. She was the only one that came to help him. She lent him money and helped him look for a flat.

She must like him for she had done so much for him.

But why did she deny it directly?

"Have you decided?" Sydnee asked as she got off the car.

Eliot nodded, "They all look good. What do you recommend?"

Sydnee pondered for a moment and showed him a picture, "Then how about this one? It's a one-bed flat. And it is located near the downtown. You can easily take a taxi or bus at the station. What's more, there is a supermarket and a health center nearby. The flat is on the third floor and the elevator is available. Its space suits a single person better, but a couple can also live happily in the small but warm apartment." Eliot had recognized Sydnee as an eccentric and silent woman, so he was surprised to see her speaking so much as if she was an agent.

Eliot was absent-minded as the policeman said, "Amazing! How could you know the information so well? Have you lived there before?"

"No, I helped a friend replace housing before." Sydnee blushed.

"This one is nice. I'll rent it." Eliot said.

Sydnee nodded and then glanced at her watch. "I'll contact the agent later. Today, you can move in."

"Are you sure?" The policeman smiled and asked, "What if it was taken by others?"

Sydnee said, "You're right! Let me call and ask now."

There was a silence.

They two stood in the doorway and Sydnee walked away to make a phone call. She first frowned then she smiled. She turned to Eliot and made an OK sign. Then, she continued the call.

Eliot couldn't help but smile. He found there was also a smile on the police officer's face. He pursed his lips and asked, "Do you like her?"

The policeman was shy when being asked and then he nodded, "It's a secret. Don't let her know. We need to get to know each other first and ..."

The policeman didn't finish speaking because Sydnee walked over. He smiled and gave Eliot a message that he wished Eliot would keep his secret and it'd be nice if he offered help.

Eliot did not speak. He hadn't made a match for people and he didn't know how.

They all entered a restaurant. The dishes were much cheaper than in the downtown. Sydnee was now rich with Emily's money and she wanted to entertain Eliot lavishly. Therefore, such meat dishes as

chicken, pork and beef were ordered and there were 11 dishes in total. The policeman and Eliot stared at her, dumbfounded. Sydnee said timidly, "Let's eat now. We can add more later."
