Alexander Zi had been living in the Zi mansion all his life. Yet a year after he came back from college, he desperately wanted his own space away from his grandparent's constant bickering. The fact that he was unmarried at twenty-seven had not gone unnoticed by Old Madam and Old Mr. Zi. His older sister had married earlier in the year and they were happy. However, Alex being their only grandson and the heir of the family, they wanted him to spoil them with grand-kids as well.
While was good at dodging their marriage discussions at dinner, he was beginning to lose his mind.
His grandparents recently took on the task of inviting their friends' daughters and grand-daughters to dinner, setting up dinner dates with potential wives, and this made him rather furious. All the girls they picked had not caught his interest even though he admitted that they all looked beautiful. Some of them were only after his money whilst others were simply infatuated with the idea of dating him to be in the spotlight. Those were the type of girls he hated the most.
He finally decided to move out despite knowing his grandparents would be disappointed. To put their mind at ease, he agreed come back home for dinner three days a week.
A lover of nature and serenity, his secretary found him the most ideal condo complex on the outskirts of the city. Lake-view Condos was only fifteen minutes away from his office. The pictures Secretary Zhang took on his visit to the condo had won him over.
Wanting to leave the mansion immediately, he agreed to the lease and asked if he could add his personal touch which was agreed upon.
To him a home was not a home unless it had a personal touch from its owner. Alex ordered Secretary Zhang to buy a few paintings and furniture to match his style and arranged to move two weeks later.
Arriving at Lake-view Condo now, Alex was left stunned by the view on the way there. Lake-view stood on a small hill and the sunset outside the cars' window was breathtakingly impressive. He had never imagined he would see this view his first time there. He rolled down the window and ogled over the magnificent orange shade the sun had colored the west side of the sky. He inhaled a deep breath of the sweat succulent air the enveloped the back seat of his car and felt his entire body relax.
'I think I will like it here.' He quietly thought as he remembered how dejected his grandmother looked when he told her he was going to stay somewhere else.
Grandma Zi tried to pry but asking him about his new place but Alex was not ignorant to what she was up to and refused to tell. The only people who knew where he was staying were his secretary and his two friends.
Secretary Zhang had a pleased look on his face as he secretly stared at his boss in the review mirror. He was surprised when he noticed his boss looking out at the sunset and imaginatively patted his self on the back for finding this gem of a neighborhood. Not wanting to get caught, he quickly drew his eyes back to the road ahead.
The moving truck was scheduled to arrive at 8pm with a few personal things he brought from the mansion. The paintings and furniture he ordered arrived a week earlier and Secretary Zhang made sure everything was taken care of before his boss moved in.
He sent secretary Zhang hone after giving him a few instructions and waited for the move in truck. When they arrived exactly at eight, they unpacked and organized everything was done before eleven.
Alex let his eyes roam around the first floor of the condo feeling accomplished. He went upstairs to the master bedroom, took a shower, then slowly drifted to dreamland.
