Pretty interlude 美人关？

E called me one Sun evening for a 2-bedroom condo for lease in Griffintown with budget around $2000 when I was having dinner with friends.  He was staying in one airbnb apartment that he did not like it and wanted to move as soon as possible.  Therefore I scheduled few visits for him in the same area nearby his workplace in multi-media city with the similar rental rather new 2-bedroom condos.  E then told me these new condos are all alike and he actually likes to live in a cozy historical building.  Oops, so the searching cateria is totally different and he needs to adjust his budget.  I sent him few beautiful old port brick condos matching his preference.  He asked me out of sudden if he can check some info not related to the condos.  I said sure.  He then asked me if I know the female broker who showed us one of the condos few days ago is married or not.  Haha, is Mr. E going to date the broker if she is not married?  The broker actually did not dress up or put on nice make up and she was late for our viewing and checked the wrong condo electricity bill during our visit...  Love is really hard to predict, isn't it?  Eventually Mr. E decided to increase his rental budget to lease one beautiful brick historical apartment in Old Port from a young  male listing broker without leasing the new condo from the female broker he likes.  He is still a rational guy not mislead by the sudden pretty interlude though. I hope that Mr. E can settle down in Montreal well and build his family and home soon with a pretty wife then.  Bonne chance!

周日在朋友家做客共进晚餐时，美国籍的E 先生来电询问一个Griffintown出租的两房公寓。 他目前住在临时租的airbnb，希望可以尽快搬到一个自己理想的家园。  我根据他原来询问的两千左右两房公寓的条件在他工作地点附近约看了几个雷同的公寓，他却跟我说这些新公寓都差不多，一点特色也没有，其实他更想租老港有历史痕迹的旧建筑老公寓。  我这才理解真正面对面谈话以后，客人说的和之前在通讯软体沟通的讯息截然不同。  我和E解释我可以回家后给他再看看是否有老港优质的老公寓出租会立即发给他，并告诉他这类的房子房租一般也比普通的公寓要高，房源也相对少，尤其冬天季节。  最后，我们还是找到了几个比较接近他可以接受的房租价位的老公寓，其中一个一房带家具和私人大阳台的看着十分适合他。  他没有回复我是否有时间和兴趣看其中几个老公寓。  我便主动向他推荐那个我觉得适合他带阳台的公寓，建议他可以看看，再决定是否可以和房东谈谈价格。 E 想想也说好，可以看看再说。 突然，他问我是否可以问一个房子以外的问题，我说可以呀。  他其实看上几天前迟到了10分钟给我们看房的另一个女经纪，向我打听她是否结婚了，哈哈！  那个女经纪其实没有特别打扮，也没有特别漂亮，反尔有点傻大姐的感觉，查水电费还查错了公寓地址。。。真是各花入各眼，情人眼里出西施呀！真逗。 言归正传，E 先生倒是对我推荐的老港一房带大阳台的老公寓很满意，最后也愿意付比最初告诉我更高的租金租下他理想中的蒙城老港公寓。  世事难料，从最初的两千左右的两房新公寓，变成接近三千的一房旧公寓。  希望感性的E先生可以好好地在蒙城老港安顿下来，接着也顺利赢得美人归，在蒙城立业成家。 哦！ 最后租的老港公寓是和一个年轻小伙子经纪租的， 嘻嘻！E 先生还是十分理智，没有被爱情冲昏了头，而决定向他心仪的傻大姐经纪租她的新公寓。
