Chapter 7

• I get a call.
• -Tell me Stefany that you already have my order," I hear her speak and answer: "Perfect, I'm on my way.
• At that moment the cab driver who brought me arrives and we go downtown, we enter the building and go to the 8th floor, Stefany is waiting for us.
• -So Benito, you still don't believe in me?
• -This must be some kind of bad joke, I don't even know why I told you to come.
• We entered the apartment and later Stefany gave the key to Javier.
• -This apartment is yours, you just need to verify that it is to your liking and sign the documentation," said Stefany.
• -Don't keep playing with me, this is too much.
• -It's not a game Benito, Stefany is waiting for the confirmation that you like it to do the paperwork.
• -Well man, it's a very nice place.
• -I just need your ID.
• He takes out his wallet and gives it to her, still incredulous, I ask Stefany for the amount and write the check.
• -Congratulations Mr. Javier, in a week the documentation will be ready, this is one of the sale.
• Javier makes a face like he doesn't believe it, reads the whole document and still continues in disbelief.
• -You just paid $135,000 dollars for this apartment.
• -Stefany, please don't leave, I want to talk to Benito.
• Stefany changes rooms.
• -Benito, I offer you a salary of $5,000 dollars and I give you this apartment, but I require you to work for me.
• -And what am I supposed to do?
• You'll be my right-hand man, you'll be in charge of all my business.
• -Wait, what are you talking about if you don't even have a place to drop dead.
• -A few days ago I won the mega lottery.
• -You're telling me you won $10 trillion dollars?!
• -Less taxes, $8.5 trillion dollars.
• -And what are your businesses?
• -I have two ideas, the first one is an upscale restaurant, Stefany is already managing the documentation for the place, but a friend from work will manage it.
• -And the second one, what is it?
• -The second one is a real estate business and that will be managed by Stefany.
• -How long have you known them?
• -That's not important, but they will report to you, we will go to the bank tomorrow to make the necessary arrangements.
• -I thank you for all this, I never imagined it.
• -This is just the beginning of what's to come. Stefany, please come in.
• -Tell me, Javier.
• -Stefany, from now on Benito will be your new boss, you'll be in charge of the real estate business, but you'll be accountable to Benito.
• -I understand, it will be a pleasure to work together.
• -Benito, she has my permission and will join you in a few days.
• -That's fine.
• -If there's nothing more to do, I'll leave, Javier.
• -Okay Stefany, I'll be in touch with you.
• Once Stefany leaves, I stay talking to Benito.
• -So, now you have no doubt that my offer is serious.
• -I haven't really created it yet, but I will help you as much as I can.
• -That's the way to talk. I'll drop you off at your place, I'm leaving.
• I leave the apartment, I still have to get mine furnished, I think I will bother Stefany again she must know.
• -Hi Stefany, excuse me, do you have someone who can furnish my apartment? -I listen to her attentively and wait for her information. It's ok, I call her.
• I receive a message from her and dial that number.
• -Good afternoon, I have been given her number since she is a decorator," I wait for her affirmative answer and continue, "I need her services, can she do the inspection today?
• -Okay, I will send you the address and I will expect her in 30 minutes.
• She will be at the apartment in 30 minutes, she will do an inspection and we will see what she tells me.
• When I arrived at the apartment she was already there.
• When she entered, she didn't waste any time and started to check everything.
• -Tell me, do you want something simple or royal?
• -I want something that says I live comfortably without so many luxuries.
• -And how much is the budget?
• -No limit, but that's what I'm asking for, nothing flashy.
• -Understood, in a week it will be ready.
• -I didn't think it would take too long.
• -What I want to do involves some remodeling and that's what consumes time, I hope I have a place to sleep.
• -Don't worry, one week, right?
• -Yes.
• -Okay, I expect great results.
• I leave the place and leave her to finish doing other things, I have to look for a place to stay and I had in mind my old apartment, but the owner wanted to humiliate me so I just paid him and left. I will go to the hotel again, but this time without overdoing it. I order a cab and arrived at the hotel.
• -Good afternoon, Mr. Santos," the doorman greets me.
• -Good afternoon Mr. Santos, it is a great pleasure to have such an important person like you in our facilities.
• -Thank you, I would like a room.
• -We have the presidential room available.
• -Not that one, I would like something simpler.
• -We have a smaller one.
• -It doesn't matter if it's small, I just need something to rest, I'll be here for a week.
• -I assure you that your stay will be very pleasant, I can recommend a restaurant.
• -Not at the moment, I will order room service only.
• -I understand, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call.
• I go to my room, I want to rest for a while, I feel that all this change has been a very unexpected turn.
• When I woke up it was 5 a.m., I got plenty of rest and I'm hungry, I order room service. 15 minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was breakfast, something simple but delicious. I take a bath and again the problem of the clothes, I had not really worried so much, I call the front desk.
• -Excuse me, do you have a dry cleaning service?
• - Which way?
• - How long?
• -Perfect, thank you.
• I deposit the clothes in a duct and a light is activated, which indicated that the clothes were received and I will only have to wait 90 minutes. Time passes and there is a knock on the door.
• -Laundry! -they shout from the other side of the door.
• I open the door and it was a beautiful young woman, she looked like a fool who stood with her mouth open and didn't know what to say. I get my clothes and give her a $500 tip.
• -Isn't that a lot to just drop off one set of clothes?
• -If it's too much, don't worry, if it's too little I can give you more.
• -It's nothing like that, I just don't want to abuse your kindness.
• -I give it to you with much affection, what's more, I will ask that only you attend to me.
• -Thank you, sir, I'll be leaving.
