Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: House
Nadia glanced at Rayne when she heard her say there was no price limit, wondering if she was rich or just naïve.

“Very well, miss, we have a number of options available. Please take a look.”

Rayne looked over at the computer screen as Nadia scrolled through a list of available options. Most of the houses were in the center of downtown, which Rayne wanted to avoid.

She felt that living in such a congested area when the apocalypse begins would only put her in more danger.

“Could we look at a few options that are a bit farther out?” asked Rayne.

Nadia quickly filtered the search to display only the houses on the edge of the city, leaving only a handful of options.

Rayne studied the location of each one before looking at the floorplans. There were two houses that were in a good location, both on opposite ends of the city. The first one was a newly constructed building that was nestled closely to a large state park. The second one was on the coast with gorgeous views of the ocean.

Taking a minute to think, Rayne pointed to the one near the forest of the state park. Nadia wrote down the address and then drove Rayne to the location of the house.

After about 45 minutes of driving, they arrived in front of a gorgeous building. The exterior looked like a modern take on a French country aesthetic. Each floor had a number of balconies, some larger than others. Climbing ivy was planted around the building, allowing it to creep up, adding greenery to the structure.

The parking lot was surrounded by a white brick wall, matching the white exterior of the building.

Nadia led Rayne into the lobby, and the first thing Rayne noticed was the level of security. To access the front doors to the lobby, you had to either swipe your keycard or ring the buzzer that would call a security officer to let you in.

There were no houses on the first level, only the main lobby, mailboxes, gym, and indoor pool area.

There were two elevators, one on each side of the concierge desk, and a single main stairwell that also served as an emergency exit.

Since the building was new, there were a lot of available units to choose from, all with different floor plans and overall sizes.

“Here are the different floorplans for all of the available units. Let me know which ones you wish to tour,” said Nadia as she handed over a sheet of paper.

Rayne looked over the paper, her eyes immediately landing on the penthouse. It was the largest condominium in the building, but the best feature was the rooftop access. Rayne felt that having this rooftop would be very beneficial in the apocalypse for things like using solar panels or starting a garden.

She pointed toward the penthouse. “I would like to tour this unit, please.”

Nadia was once again surprised; Rayne chose the most expensive unit without batting an eye.

“Sure thing, miss, I’ll grab the keys and we can head on over,” she said.

Once they arrived, what greeted Rayne was a beautiful French interior. The white walls were covered in beautiful molding, and the hardwood floors brought warmth to the space.

There was a large, open-concept kitchen/living room that had all of the top-of-the-line appliances.

“This unit has three additional bedrooms to the master suite. Each has its own ensuite and can be easily converted to an office to suit your needs,” explained Nadia.

Rayne continued to explore the house, entering the large master bedroom. It was at least double the size of her current bedroom, with access to a small outdoor balcony. The windows and French doors allowed a lot of natural light in, creating a very warm atmosphere.

The bathrooms were designed beautifully, with large marble tiles and golden fixtures. The more Rayne walked around, the more she liked it.

The last place to tour was the rooftop area. It was a wide-open space surrounded by a thick glass fence. The glass was tinted on one side so that people looking from the outside could not see in, but if standing on the inside, there were unobstructed views all the way around.

Rayne really liked this design, which focused on privacy. This way, she would be able to use her system freely, even up on the rooftop.

There was a small but luxurious outdoor kitchen, equipped with a grill and gas stove. The last feature on the rooftop was the large built-in fire pit.

Before Rayne even turned to leave the rooftop area, she turned to Nadia and said, “I’ll take it!”

Nadia was shocked! “Are you sure? There are other places we can tour. This is a big decision!”

Rayne nodded. “Yes, this place has all of the features I wanted, and the location is suitable.”

“Very well then! Let’s head back to begin the process. Since this is a brand-new unit with no previous owners, the buying process should be even quicker than normal,” said Nadia.

Rayne was really happy to hear this. She wanted to move out today, if possible. She wasn’t sure if she could sleep at night knowing that Dillon might come back.

As they walked out of the building, Nadia pointed toward the backside of the building.

“Oh, I forgot to mention! Since you are purchasing the penthouse, you also own a large 3-car garage as an additional feature!”

Rayne was surprised to hear this. A personal garage is indeed a really nice feature!

They walked over to quickly check it out, greeted by a large heavy garage door.

“They built this garage with luxury vehicles in mind, ensuring top security,” explained Nadia.

As they walked inside the garage, Rayne looked up, noticing the tall ceilings. She figured that she would even be able to fit a large RV in this space!

After they concluded the tour, Nadia drove Rayne back to the realty office. As they sat down around Nadia’s desk, she said, “Here is all of the paperwork you need to fill out. And here is the cost of the penthouse unit.”

Nadia looked over at Rayne, trying to read her expression as she saw the price. Rayne glanced down to see the price and was surprised to see that it was cheaper than what she had expected!

Rayne thought it would cost her 10 million at a minimum, but it was only just under 7 million!

Nadia saw Rayne’s surprised expression and couldn’t help but shake her head internally. Kids these days don’t have a clue about the real world.

Just as Nadia was about to suggest looking at a cheaper option, Rayne picked up the pen and signed her name on the document. She then handed over her bank card and said, “Would it be possible to move in today?”

Nadia was still shocked but took the card to process the payment. “If everything goes through without issues right now, I can hand over the keys before you leave today.”

Rayne smiled, feeling relieved that she was able to secure a new place to live.

She was also not worried about the moving process. She could easily just store everything in her space and take out what she needed in the new house!
