Chapter 22: 22:New Home

With the money he had, Evan decided to purchase a house as he couldn't stay in a hotel for long.

As Evan walked through the leafy pathways of the housing society, he marveled at the tranquil surroundings. Soon, he found the agent he contacted before.

The agent named Agon led him to a well-maintained building and up to the second floor, where the 2BHK apartment was.

Upon entering, Evan was greeted by spacious rooms adorned with modern furnishings. The living room boasted ample natural light, while the kitchen gleamed with stainless steel appliances. The bedrooms were cozy yet stylish, each offering a serene retreat after a long day.

Impressed by the apartment's charm, Evan engaged in conversations with Agon, eager to learn more about the amenities and community. Agon highlighted the society's amenities, including a swimming pool, gym, and lush green spaces, perfect for relaxation and recreation.

"Gym...Swimming pool and garden...That's a perk," Evan nodded in satisfaction.

"It is..."

"So, Mr. Evan, what do you think of the apartment so far?" Agon inquired.

"I'm really impressed, Agon," Evan replied. "The layout is great, and the natural light is fantastic. Can you tell me more about the pricing and any additional costs?"

Agon explained, "The rent for this 2BHK apartment includes maintenance fees for the housing society amenities. Additionally, there's a one-time security deposit equivalent to two months' rent."

"That sounds reasonable," Evan nodded. "And what about parking facilities? I will soon get a car."

"Yes, the apartment comes with one designated parking spot in the society's covered parking area," Agon confirmed. "Additional parking spaces can be arranged for a nominal fee if needed. Also, there is strict security so you don't need to worry about those things."

As they continued the tour, Agon pointed out the nearby conveniences, such as shopping centers, restaurants, and public transportation options. Evan felt reassured knowing that everything he needed was within reach.

After a thorough tour and thoughtful consideration, Evan was ready to make a decision.

He negotiated with Agon, discussing terms and finalizing the agreement.

The initial price was listed as 3.5 million rupees but it wasn't set. After a blood-curdling bargaining, Agon helplessly sold it for 3.1 million.

'It seems my profit percentage would be less whatever...something is better than nothing."

With excitement Evan handed over the booking amount, sealing the deal for his new home.

"What is that dogshit look?"Evan grumbled but Maria just shrugged it off.

Ignoring her Evan went into the kitchen. After some time he came out with some new dishes.

"Is this palatable?"

Evan knew that Maria would ask that while pointing at the food that was on his table.

"You can taste these two recipes I invented."Evan started to explain which immediately drew Maria's attention.

The first one was a mix of ice cream and cold coffee.

To make this, Evan first took a cup that he coated with caramel and then chocolate. After that, he took a scoop of vanilla ice cream and filled half a portion of the cup and the other side with iced coffee that had been mixed with crushed coffee and caramel.

And the second one was a cheesecake that had a layer of caramel mixed with cream.

Maria first tasted the ice cream coffee by taking a scoop and her eyes went wide instantly. This was the best dessert she had ever taken.

It was so addicting she didn't even realize that she had finished the whole cup in a few moments.

When she came back to herself, her eyes tingled with excitement knowing that this drink would be tremendously famous while thinking that trademark these recipes must be good to earn this name.

After a moment she also tasted the cheesecake and the same scene all over again as she ate the cake as if she was starving.

"Evan, these recipes are so delicious! We will be famous!" she said excitedly.

"I know, and that's why I want to discuss how we can maximize our profit with these recipes and contract the new employees," Evan said.

After they discussed how to put the new recipes to the public, Maria went to put the plan into practice and talked about this with Sam.

Just as Evan was satisfied with progress, he heard a bell sound that made him smile.
