It wasn't long before the car had brought them to a tall building in the area near the Old Town. Fae looked up at the tall building in awe.
"RMI provides a place for me to live here," explained Mischa as he opened the door for Fae.
The girl hurriedly came out and apologized. "You shouldn't have opened the door for me, Sir. I can do it myself. I'm the assistant here, okay?"
Mischa just laughed at Fae, who was looking awkward.
"Don't think too much of it. I opened the door because I was closer," He waved his hand nonchalantly and walked into the lobby with both hands in his pockets. Fae immediately walked over to his boss.
She looked to the left and right and then frowned. This was not an apartment building, but a 5-star hotel. Would Mischa stay at the hotel all the time during his stay in Moravia?
As if he could read Fae's mind, Mischa nodded and explained. "On the top floor of the hotel is an apartment."
"Oh, really?"
Fae was amazed because Mischa always seemed able to read her mind and kindly explained everything.
They entered the lobby and were greeted by a beautiful girl in her 30's who was smiling kindly.
"Welcome, Mr. Rhionen, to St. Laurent. We've got everything ready. My name is Margo."
"Thank you," said Mischa. He then turned to Fae. "This is my assistant. Please take her fingerprints later so she can get in and out freely."
Fae rolled her eyes at Mischa's words. Why would she be free to go in and out of this man's residence? Did that mean her job wasn't limited to just at the office?
However, she did not dare to argue. Fae trailed behind Mischa, who walked casually following the St. Laurent hotel staff headed for the elevator and then up to the 40th floor. The elevator doors opened and they saw that there was only one door on the highest floor of the building.
"Please come in." Margo opened the door for them and ushered them in.
Fae immediately amazed when she saw the contents of the huge penthouse. She just realized that the apartment Mischa was referring to was actually a penthouse.
Wow, it turned out that the RMI boss would live in a penthouse, on one of the most luxurious hotels in Moravia. How nice!
"Wait a moment, Miss. We'll take your fingerprints first." Margo gave a signal for Fae to come closer, and she then opened a tablet and pressed a few buttons. "Please press here with your ten fingerprints in turn."
Mischa only watched the scene with a relaxed face, but his eyes glint in excitement, when one by one, Fae's fingers pressed the tablet screen. He deliberately took this opportunity to get Fae's fingerprints completely without being suspected.
Later he would ask the St. Laurent Hotel to share the fingerprints, so he could carry out his own investigation.
"It's done. Later, you can come and go to this penthouse at any time using your fingerprints," said Margo kindly.
"Good. Then, we want to look around first, and my assistant will take notes on what we still need," said Mischa.
"Right away, Sir." Margo immediately took them around and explained all the facilities in the penthouse.
There were three large and luxurious ensuite bedrooms, one sitting room, a lounge, a library with an extensive book collection, a private cinema with a large home theater, a modern kitchen with floor-to-ceiling windows, a large separate dining room with 12 chairs, there was also a small dining area next to the kitchen and overlooking the terrace with the infinity pool, there was a study, a gym, and even a space to meditate.
Gosh, just counting the number of rooms in this penthouse made Fae feel tired. This place was unbelievably big and luxurious, she thought. The ceilings were so tall, that she felt like she was in a castle.
Fae was grateful that her job description as Mischa's personal assistant did not include cleaning or tidying up his residence.
Crazy! If she had to clean this place every day ...
"What do you think?" asked Mischa.
"Eh? What? Why are you asking me?" asked Fae in amazement. "You're the one who will live here. My opinion is not important."
"Where do you live now?" asked Mischa.
"I live in a flat not far from here," said Fae. She did not understand why Mischa asked where she lived. This had nothing to do with work, okay?
"I don't know if you read your employment contract, but part of your job description is taking care of my professional and personal needs. For that, I need you to stay here with me, "said Mischa with an innocent face.
"No way! It is impossible. I brought my work contract, and there it only said that I would— " Fae suddenly paused.
She tried to remember the last page, which contained such a long list in fine print, and she just skipped it by because her mind was restless.
Really, she was having too many thoughts lately. She just considered everything on the list as standard provisions. Dammit. She should have read everything before signing.
Hmm .. actually living in this place wasn't bad at all, she finally thought to herself. Fae looked around and swallowed hard.
If she could stay here ... it would be like a dream. She had never experienced living in such a luxurious place. The only place of this grandeur she had ever seen was the penthouse where Ren lived now, but Fae was never invited to live there.
Meanwhile, Mischa felt his chest pounding. He couldn't help but invite Fae to fancy places and check her reaction. If Fae was accustomed to luxury, she would certainly look relaxed and unimpressed.
At this time, he did not see Fae impressed. In fact, it seemed that the girl was more worried that she would be tasked with cleaning the spacious penthouse, than being impressed by the grandness of this place.
Was this girl really Vega? Her demeanor looked elegant and full of class. Her face was very similar to Vega's. Fae also mastered the languages spoken by Vega. And what's more .. this girl lost her memory since she was born until five years ago.
All these signs make Mischa suspected that Fae was actually Vega!
Ahh .. he must be patient and act subtly. Later, the fingerprint would determine the answer. If Fae was indeed Vega ... of course, he would be able to compare her fingerprints with all of Vega's fingerprint records in the past.
He didn't want to use a DNA test to check her identity. For the DNA test, he had to ask for samples from Vega's immediate family ... and he didn't want to do it for fear he would give them hope. What if he's wrong? He could not bear to make Elios and Aleksis experience another heartbreak.
"You can check the contract again," said Mischa calmly. "I won't force you to stay here. But I hope you can work whenever I need you. One more thing, if you are not willing to live here, I hope you will move to a better flat—the one more representative for RMI boss' personal assistant with adequate security. I can't risk my assistant staying in an apartment with low-level security. There are lots of RMI's business rivals who might attack you for information about the company. "
Fae swallowed hard. Move to a more representative flat? What did he mean by that? Her salary wasn't enough if she had to find such a flat. And what about her plan to live frugal and save money?
"I—I will think about it," said the girl weakly.
