Chapter 640: Hassle and bustle
“Do you think we can move here tomorrow?” Dani asked, seeing that the place was almost complete.
Instead of waiting for Alex to finish fixing the new place, Dani recommended seeking an expert and asking for assistance. And she knew the perfect person for the job.
Haley would know better what to do with the place. Besides, she had enough resources to accomplish the job in a short period. In addition, Haley understood what she wanted in her new home.
“Not that we are pressuring you or anything, but my wife thinks that the place already looks perfect,” Alex commented, seeing the excitement in her eyes.
Ever since he had shown her this place, she had been in constant contact with Haley. Now that they were back. She had insisted on seeing the apartment even if Haley said it was not yet finished.
“As I said in our last phone conversation, just a couple of hours ago. I think it would be better if you move in by next week,” Haley told her friend, directing the couple to the living room.
She showed them the living room was already finished. All it was lacking was the furnishing. Other than that, it was good. Then, she moved to the kitchen, which was already completed.
.....
“Everything seems to be in order.” Dani insisted, seeing the beautiful granite marbles on the kitchen counter. Then, a beautiful mahogany table in the center aisle.
It was perfect for Alex when he would like to prepare something special for them. Though it still lacked a few more things. However, that could easily be arranged.
“Yes, these two rooms are already finished except for some light touches, but what about the other rooms.” Haley insisted, guiding the couple to the open balcony where she had a table set up for them.
She usually had one location that was accessible and clean when she entertained her clients when they visited the area. She offered them refreshments and some cinnamon bread while they waited.
She showed them the plans and the current situation of the rooms. Although the living area and the kitchens were already almost finished. She still needed to put some final touches on them.
“I am just excited by this new house. I thought you would be finished by the time we returned from our trip.” Dani said as she stared at the plans.
She would really like a new place for a fresh start. After all, she only had her honeymoon. But she could not do anything about it since Haley was right. It was not ready yet.
But she believed Haley had already done a great job fixing the place. She could not expect her friend to rush it, compromising her quality of work just to fulfill her whims.
“The rooms are still undergoing construction, which would still need a few more days. Then, the furniture still had to be delivered and arranged.” Haley explained.
As much as she wanted to present the apartment to them tomorrow, it was impossible. She was an architect. She could not snap her finger and magically had the place ready for them.
But she understood her friend’s excitement. She was a newlywed, after all. She also heard what happened to them, so she wanted to make this place as perfect as possible as her wedding gift. A great home where she could start her new life with her new family.
“Anyway, I was wondering when we can also visit the construction site of our housing project,” Alex asked Haley, who was also handling the undertaking.
He also wanted to learn about the update since Dani’s birthday was coming soon. He had grand plans for that day, and it would involve the participation of Haley and their project.
“The paper works were done. The construction crew is already set up next week. They are ready with the preliminary assessment of the place.” Haley reported to her partners in this project.
She took a gulp of the cold drink, letting the refreshing liquid patch up the dryness on her lips. The day had been warm today, and she was working all day to finish this place as soon as possible.
“Maybe the two of you should visit it. I will give you a call when is the best time.” She offered before the two could comment on her last statement.
She would really like to show them the place since they owned it in the first place. Then, she would give them a clearer view of what she had planned for it.
Based on her experience, looking at it on paper was completely different from seeing it firsthand. She would like to discuss with them what more she could do to make it more functional for the kids that would be living there.
“Then, set it up and let us know,” Dani responded excitedly.
Besides this apartment, the housing project for the foster kids was the other thing she was most looking forward to. She could already picture little Jacky and Andy having a more comfortable stay in such a place rather than a foster home.
Although she would still have to justify the legality of putting kids in such a place. She was already in contact with a few social services willing to help her case.
“It had been nice to see you, Haley. And thanks for doing a great job.” Dani said as she turned around and checked the place before leaving.
She could really see herself living in this place. Compared to the first house Alex bought her, this had a more homey feel that she could not describe.
Of course, the location was excellent because it was not too far from her work or Alex. And it was still in the center of everything she loved.
For her, this city was everything to her. It was where she grew up and lived all her life. She had been to many places, but this city that would never sleep was her home. She would always want to return to its hassle and bustle.
