On the next day, Lisa kept her promise with Oscar to go around looking for a new home for her mother. At eight o’clock in the morning, Dani arrived in front of the bus stop not far from Lisa’s house. She still hid everything related to Oscar from her mother.
Lisa opened the door to the black Alphard and stepped inside. She sat in the back seat of Oscar’s luxury car. Dani was wearing black glasses with a black suit as usual. The man in the driver’s seat then stepped on the gas pedal and drove away.
“Good morning, Miss Lisa, do you know where to find a house today?” Dani asked politely. The gaze of the man with the grim faced straight ahead, focused on the road.
Lisa crossed her legs, she took out her cellphone to chat with Andien, who seemed to be busy with financial reports at the office. The atmosphere in the car suddenly fell silent. Dani cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
“Uh yes why, Mr. Dani?” Lisa asked a little nervously. Her cell phone slipped off from her grasp.
“Sorry I asked you, do you already know where to look for a house?” Dani asked again.
“Well, I don’t know myself, Sir. Maybe Mr. Dani can help me find it?”
“Which one do you want, Miss? A luxury house or luxury apartment?”
In her lifetime, this was the first time Lisa had heard the word luxury for a residence. The most luxurious house she ever lived in was only her mother’s house, which she currently still lived in. Even then, it did not count as a luxury home. Luxury was a new word in Lisa’s dictionary. Since becoming Oscar’s secretary, she would never have thought that her life would intersect with luxury. What she had never got so far, she could easily get by just telling it to her company’s capital owner.
Lisa stared straight at the windshield of the car, resting her chin, thinking. Would Oscar mind if she bought a luxurious house or apartment? Her mother and Bella certainly didn’t mind if they both had to move to a luxurious residence in the capital. In fact, it was the dream of the three of them since their mother fell ill! Living in a luxurious house complete with facilities that only a few people could enjoy. ‘A real heaven on earth!’ She thought.
“Maybe Mr. Dani can recommend me? Which one is better? House or apartment? Because to be honest, I personally have never been involved in buying and selling or other property transactions.”
“Well then, Does Miss Lisa prefer to live in a wide or not too wide place? Don’t worry you’ll still be guaranteed access to security.”
Lisa was silent for a moment, thinking again. Actually, all she needed was a proper place to live for herself, her mother and her younger sibling. The woman had occasionally stayed at her friend’s apartment, especially Andien. But Lisa was very sure that her mother would not like living in an apartment because there was no large garden. But if the three of them lived in an apartment, they didn’t have to worry about security. Remembering that her father often came and abused her mother. Living in an apartment also had many advantages such as access to a supermarket or a place to eat. She considered this option so that her mother didn’t have to go far to the market to buy groceries.
“How about an apartment?” Lisa asked again.
“Apartments are allowed, I have a recommendation for ready-to-live apartments in the South if Miss Lisa wants. After all, it is also very close to the office, so you don’t have to linger on the road to go to the office.”
‘Ah, Mr. Dani, this is true too. Uh, but do you want to do that? Ouch, just think you want it! This is the foreigner who bought it too!’ Lisa muttered inside her mind.
“Okay, Miss Lisa, then we’ll just go straight to the marketing office.” Dani swerved to the right, taking the fast lane. The road happened to be quite smooth so the two of them arrived at the marketing office in less than an hour.
Arriving at the apartment marketing office, Lisa and Dani were greeted by a woman dressed in gray and black pants that matched their company profile’s color. The woman smiled kindly as she extended her palm to shake Lisa’s hand. Dani was on standby to stand behind Lisa.
“Good morning miss, I am Gina from the marketing department of South City Apartments, what can I help you with?” The woman asked politely and kindly.
“Morning, I’m Lisa. I want to buy a new apartment.” She said firmly.
The woman invited Lisa and Dani to sit down. She explained the various types of apartments they sold along with their prices and advantages. Lisa had to admit that she never had any experience with an apartment buying and selling transaction, let alone a luxury apartment like the one she was currently buying!
‘Oscar wouldn’t mind if I took this apartment in the South! Well, he’s rich. Buying diamonds probably feels like buying catfish at the market!’
There was a mockup about a meter and a half in the middle of the marketing room. Lisa glanced at the mockup, ‘What a luxurious apartment.’ She thought. For a moment, she was still hesitant to take the apartment offered by the woman in the gray dress who’d just explained to her. But this was for the good of her mother and sister! Lisa linked her hands and placed them on her thighs.
“How about this, Miss Lisa? Do you agree with this offer?” The woman stopped talking, waiting for a response from Lisa.
“Deal!” Lisa said firmly.
“Well! It’s sold! Tomorrow, Miss Lisa can immediately fill in the registration form and make a payment. The apartment is ready to be occupied after you’ve submitted all registration documents and proof of payment.”
The two women then shook hands. Lisa left the marketing office building and headed for the car. She grabbed her cell phone and called Oscar.
“Oscar, I already bought the place. Please help me with the payment!”
After a few minutes, Lisa sent Oscar an invoice. Not long after, an email notification appeared on Lisa’s cellphone.
Payment is complete, please provide proof of payment to one of our agents.
Lisa smiled in relief at the notification.. She put her cell phone next to her purse while taking a deep breath.
