The Last Laugh
Chapter 31 - New Home
***
Ace's POV:
Monday morning, I went to work as usual. I hadn't seen Heather since the day we met in the elevator. I didn't want to go to her office so I would avoid intimidating her. If she needed my help, she'd call. As for Christina and Sawyer, they kept on with their ridiculous flirting and seduction manoeuvres. Of course I pretended to be affected. Yeah, right.
During the lunch break, I decided it was the best moment to go visit that apartment like I'd promised.
I drove through town until I reached and went through a gate before parking my car in front of the building. It was a big building and looked expensive. I took my phone out and called Keith.
"Yeah, hello Keith? Yeah, I'm here."
"Enter and come up to my apartment. Number 36. The eight floor."
"Okay."
I hung up and went in. I then took the elevator to the eight floor. Everything looked expensive, from the building itself to the people living inside.
I reached the floor and made my way to Keith's door where I knocked. He soon opened and let me in.
"Hey, pal."
"Hey." we hugged each other and went in to sit.
His apartment was really beautiful, spacious and did have a beautiful view on the city. If mine was gonna be similar, I'd be satisfied.
The manager of the place soon arrived for us to talk business. He took to us to apartment thirty seven, right after that of Keith. We got in. Just the entrance was attractive.
It was similar to Keith's but better. I loved it already. I visited its kitchen, living room, opened its fridge, checked the toilets and the beautiful bedroom. Perfect.
"So fuckboy, you taking it?" Keith asked. I turned to the manager.
