They had a point. After the experts Dad sent over returned, my new hires were all maintenance staff with average skills. Relying on them to transform the company wasn't going to work.
I couldn't help but wonder where I could find talent. Even if I managed to find someone qualified, they probably wouldn't want to join my small, half-baked company.
Just when I was feeling frustrated, I suddenly got a call from Mom.
"Will, Pelagos Estates is pretty popular right now. I've found a nice place. Why don't you go pay for it and handle the transfer paperwork?"
I shook my head. "Mom, I already have Imperia Manor. I don't need another villa."
"But you never go there! You obviously don't like it. Let me buy you another one, okay? Think of it as an investment in real estate."
I couldn't argue with Mom, so I took a taxi to the Pelagos Estates. This area was quite far from the school, and I ended up spending over a hundred dollars just on the ride.
However, Mom had a good eye. The villa community was beautifully landscaped and looked like a modern neighborhood.
It combined modern architecture with traditional garden elegance. A long stream ran between the two lanes at the entrance, adding to the overall harmony of the place. For investment purposes, it truly was a great choice.
When I arrived at the sales office, I walked up to the front desk and requested a brochure to look through. Suddenly, I overheard a couple chatting nearby.
"Honey, there's nowhere as stunning as this place. I really want to buy it," the woman said.
"My savings only cover the down payment. I'd be stuck paying over a thousand dollars a month after that. It's just too much," the man replied.
"Come on! You're one of the founders of the hit game 'Lover's Promise'. How can you possibly be broke? Don't try to fool me! You just don't want to buy me something nice," the woman insisted.
I was surprised to learn that the man was one of the founders of "Lover's Promise".
