Scheme, Reporting, and Newbie?

Luke lifted the bag in his hand and said, "See, I even have your lunch prepared. A capable person like you will have to do more."

Selina curled her lip but didn't continue the topic. "Where are we staying in Houston?"

Luke was slightly stunned. "We? Where are we staying?"

Something seemed wrong about that.

Selina had an odd expression. "That's Houston. Do you think you can still stay in a three-story house like in Shackelford? How rich are you?"

Luke finally understood what she was getting at. His mind had been preoccupied with other things as of late. Thus, he hadn't even thought of this. He humbly asked for Selina's guidance. "What do you have in mind?"

Selina answered, "Simple: we rent a place together."

Luke nodded. "And?"

Selina continued, "By staying together, we can continue to use your car to and from work. With that, we can even save on transportation fees."
