Chapter 3 : Spacious Penthouse

Uncle Lu glare at Ling, but calmed himself. "She is someone you should never offend. No one in Imperial, China can afford to offend her." He said his piece and walks out the double glass doors.

Ling was rendered speechless but also curious. The beautiful lady was not only beautiful, she even own one of the keys to Elite Penthouse's most expensive penthouses.

Only billionaires can accommodate those types of "1992 " Penthouses .

Reaching the "1992"no penthouse , the elevator ding in arrival of 50th floor with the doors open.

Ning Xi leisurely stepped out.

She scan the floor and realize the long and wide hallway with white walls. What was more eye catching was that there were only 4 doors. And one of them was her.

The white walls brought natural lighting into the hallway, as the doors to each housing were dark gray with the same color border around. Both sides of the doors had tall windows.

Each housing number was carved in gold onto the door, on top the peep hole.

On the one side was two doors almost side by side, whereas across was the same. At the end of the hallway was two double glass door with the sign 'pool and roof access' on the side.

Ning Xi walked to her door, which was the third door to the right . She wondered if the other floors were as elegant as this floor.

Inserting one of the black house keys into the key hole, it clicked and the door unlocked.

Entering her new temporary home, she was dumbfounded by its view.

The flooring to her Residence was glossy white, with white walls.

The living room had floor to ceiling windows all around. The view of Imperial, China could be seen from any part of the living room windows. The Tiptoe sofa of the Sancal house, three-seater and dark gray and is accompanied by a Studio Lamp by Handvark, under a painting by Jordi Alcaraz from the Miquel Alzueta Gallery in Barcelona. It were set in an almost L-shape, a set of coffee tables and a TV cabinet in black iron sheet of own design that integrates a bioethanol burner. Under was a large white fur carpet. A 65" smart TV was placed on a long white TV stand.

The kitchen was separated from the living room by a white marble wall island, 4 white stools sat on the outside. In kitchen all appliances are integrated into a set of elegant furniture in black. The counter top and the back have been produced using the Storm model from Inalco, offering an organic look that spreads throughout the whole. In front of it, we find a high table designed by Coblonal Interiorismo with a black iron structure and an envelope of the same parquet wood that functions as a bar and extra work surface. It is illuminated by a pendant lamp Ikono L by Normann Copenhagen. The Dejà Vu metal stools from Magis combine with the handles of the kitchen furniture, the oven and the sink set, offering a chromatic balance of wood, metal and black peppered with the green of the Granny Smith apples used for the session.

She is totally surprised to see it.!!

Across the kitchen was a dining room with a black dining table and four white parsons chairs.

She sighed at how white her housing was.

But she also liked it because the natural lighting contrasted with the white made the place look more brighter and not gloomy.

Satisfy with the living room, kitchen and dining room, she walks to the hallway to check on the rooms.

To an even more surprise, she realize that her place has 3 bedrooms!!

Like the walls, the rooms were white. The first room was on the left connecting to the kitchen wall. It was bigger, assigned as a guest room . All she has to do is buy new pillows and sheets to add some color to the room.

Surprisingly, one whole wall of the guest room was floor to ceiling windows.

Across from that room on the right, was the guest bathroom. It's wall connecting with the dining room. The bathroom had a shower, toilet and sink. Yet it was bigger than normal bathrooms.

Walking forward, next to the guest bathroom was another bedroom, just that, this bedroom was slightly smaller than the guest room and like the guest room, one whole wall was floor to ceiling windows.

Ning Xi could guess this room must be the smallest despite its irregular size.

She decided she'll turn this room into her walk in closet and office, since her career requires her to always deal with military works .

She saw their was also secret room , she its helpful for her to hide confidential papers . Including this its fourth room.

She frowned but she is glad.

Passing the room, she finally reached the master bedroom.

Her new bedroom.

Opening the door and walking in, her eyes were on the verge of popping out. The room was the size of her guest room and walk in closet put together!

First door on the left upon entering the room was the master bathroom, it had a shower and a huge bathtub. There was an adjoining door for the toilet. The only thing bugging Ning Xi was the huge window which she was sure would allow a brightness of a sun and moon with a curtain because it can allow neighbor to saw her , whenever she takes a bath.

Across from the bathroom was the closet, which happened to bigger than she expected, but she guess she'll use it as extra storage for now.

The rest of the room was all floor to ceiling windows, the only walls in the room were the wall next to the closet and another small wall on the left where her king size bed covered in all white was.

There was also a double glass door near the bathroom door leading to an outside balcony. The only downfall for her was that the patio connected with her neighbor's. Only a glass wall separated the two balconies.

The apartment has a double room, a living-dining room with an open kitchen and a bathroom with three pieces that can be accessed from a small landing that distributes the whole. It have arranged all the rooms, including the bathroom, with direct access to the outside. Windows that make the interior and the exterior interpenetrate continuously, being an open set with good weather and a shelter when bad weather requires it.

After a few rounds of touring her new place, Ning Xi decided to sleep since she was waiting for Lie Wei to bring her things.
