Chapter 187: This Place Seems Like A Dream House To Me, Lucifer.
The doors opened without a sound, revealing the impressive foyer inside. The floor was covered with polished marble tiles that glimmered in the light. The walls were painted in a soft, warm hue, and there were several people of both sexes dressed in black and white clothes, waiting for them.
As they entered, they were welcomed by a small group of people who greeted them with pleasant smiles and warm gestures.
One of the men stepped forward and spoke, "Welcome, Mr. Reynolds. I am head butler Alex, and these are some of the helpers who work here." After gesturing to his side with a smile, Alex continued, "We are all at your service to give you a tour of the property or answer any queries you may have."
Lucifer nodded in acknowledgment of Butler Alex's greeting, taking a moment to observe him. The head butler had a professional demeanor and a confident bearing, which he found pleasing.
He was dressed in classic butler attire, including a crisp white shirt, a black tailcoat, and a bow tie that sat neatly against his chest. His demeanor exuded efficiency and competence.
Next, a woman with jet-black hair pulled into a neat bun and dressed in a traditional maid's uniform, with a white apron tied around her waist and a pair of black shoes that shone under the light, came forward. She looked at them with her beautiful brown eyes and gave a warm smile before she said, "I am the head maid, Jane. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Reynolds."
Lucifer found her voice pleasant to the ears and nodded his head, smiling back at her.
As they all exchanged pleasantries, Jessica looked at Lucifer and Jennifer and said, "I didn't think we would be welcomed like this. I was expecting some tour guides or something like that."
"And it looks like they want us to stay, too," Jennifer remarked, glancing around the foyer.
Lucifer chuckled and looked at Alex and Jane. "Do you all live here?"
"Yes, Mr. Reynolds. All of us live on the property, and we stay in our quarters. This manor is quite spacious and big, as you have seen. Therefore, all of us work together to keep things in order and ensure that nothing is out of place." Alex said with a smile.
Jane, standing beside Alex, couldn't help but feel nervous as she observed Lucifer closely. Her cheeks flushed a light shade of red, and her heart raced as she tried to calm herself down.
She thought to herself, 'Oh my goodness! This guy looks so handsome and stylish in that suit. His blue eyes are so mesmerizing and charming, and his features are perfect. It's like he's a model or a movie star.'
However, Jane quickly regained her composure and smiled, trying to hide her nervousness. "If you want, Mr. Reynolds, I can also give you a tour of the property."
"That would be great." Lucifer accepted her offer, but he was curious why there were so many workers even though the property was up for sale. He looked at Jessica and asked her, "I thought the manor was empty and didn't have anyone staying here."
"Well, that's what I thought too, but it looks like the owner didn't want his prized possession to get ruined or anything like that, so he kept this group of workers to maintain the place and keep everything perfect." Jessica shrugged.
At that moment, Butler Alex chimed in, "Mrs. Jones is correct, sir. The owner wanted to sell the property but didn't want it to lose its value, so he continued to hire the service of our agency to maintain the property. Once the property is sold, the new owner can decide whether they want us to continue working here or not."
"That makes sense." Lucifer said while nodding then gestured for the head maid, Jane, to start the tour, "Okay then, show me around the manor first."
"Yes, Mr. Reynolds." Jane gave a nod and then started to walk, leading them to the different parts of the manor.
The first floor was an impressive sight, with a large living area adorned with antique furniture and beautiful paintings and a spacious hall to the right for hosting lavish parties or events.
To the left, a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room with seating for dozens, and an extensive wine collection stored in temperature-controlled rooms.
There was even an indoor pool for relaxation and entertainment, as well as a home theater room, a sauna, a gym, and a massage parlor.
In the center, a grand marble staircase led to the upper floors, where numerous bedrooms and bathrooms offered ample space for guests and residents.
The head maid continued to lead them to explore even more areas, like the second and third floors, which contained a variety of bedrooms, each with their own unique style and personality, ranging from classic luxury to modern elegance.
The bedrooms were spacious, with high ceilings and large windows that let in natural light. Each room had its own en-suite bathroom, complete with a bathtub and shower.
There was also an elevator for those who didn't want to climb the stairs or had mobility issues.
As they reached the rooftop of the manor, Lucifer's eyes lit up at the sight of an impressive helipad located on the far side of the building.
The platform stood proudly, surrounded by a safety net and painted in a vibrant yellow hue. The helipad was large enough to accommodate several helicopters, making it a convenient feature for those who preferred to travel by air.
What was more surprising was the rooftop swimming pool located in front of them with a bar beside it. The pool water glistened under the afternoon sun, inviting anyone to take a refreshing dip.
It had been designed with sleek lines and modern features, with comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas surrounding it, providing a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun.
Jennifer, who was standing behind Lucifer, placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered, "This place seems like a dream house to me, Lucifer."
"Yes." Lucifer agreed and smiled, "I am definitely buying this place."
