55. It Starts With A

Rissa tries to see Aunt Astrid on Monday after she comes home from work. His house is not far from her rent. It's so silent there. Rissa rang the bell several times, but there was no answer.

After a few minutes, Rissa heard the sound of someone opening the door from inside. Aunt Astrid looked a bit surprised when she saw Rissa. She walked over to the gate hesitantly.

"Rissa?" said Aunt Astrid as she unlocked the lock.

"Excuse me, Aunt Astrid. Can we talk for a while?" asked Rissa quite kindly.

Aunt Astrid hesitated for a moment, but then she let Rissa in. The house is quite significant. She invited Rissa to sit down on the sofa.

"Aunt Astrid, I want to ask you something. James told me yesterday. You won't allow me to rent in that house anymore. Is it true? Did someone buy the house?"
