Rise Of The Disgraced Heir

"I'd like to tour the facilities now." Ian said as he called the receptionist at the lobby.

"Very well sir, I'll be right up." The receptionist said in a seductive tone.

Ian ignored her tone, chalking it up as her way of being accommodating to the residents of the building.

Within five minutes of his call, the receptionist was already standing outside of his room.

"Thanks." Ian said with a smile as he stepped out of the room. "I hope this isn't too much of a bother."

"No sir, the bellhop took my spot for the meantime." The receptionist said with a charming smile.

"Please, just call me Ian." He told the woman.

She looked up at him and bushed a stray strand of her brown hair behind her ear and smiled.

"A pleasure to meet you Ian, my name is Faye." She said as she gestured for Ian to get into the elevator.

"Faye, what a pretty name." Ian said with a smile as he got in.

Faye pressed a button and the elevator door closed and began to descend.

"Solair is a unique kind of residence." Faye began to explain. "You don't need to hire your own staff since the developers, the Reyes Group, has already provided them for you. Each set of units has an assigned chef and cleaning lady. If you need additional staffing you can just ask me."

"How about for laundry?" Ian asked, he didn't seem to recall seeing a laundry room in the unit.

"The cleaning lady already sees to that." Faye said with a smile as the elevator doors opened to a luxurious hallway.

"What's on this floor?" Ian asked her as they stepped out.

"This is the sports floor." Faye told Ian as she led him through the hall. "On this floor we have the gym, swimming pool, badminton, tennis, and basketball courts. We also have a virtual driving range."

Ian nodded as Faye showed him each room, some had other residents enjoying themselves, while others were empty. Ian didn't expect to see other people around, it was the middle of the day, so he assumed most would be at work.

Faye then led Ian down a lavish staircase, it seemed to be an even more elegant version of the level above.

"On this floor we have the cinemas, formal dining rooms, and some meeting and event venues." Faye explained to him as they walked into a restaurant.

"This restaurant can also bring up room service for you, but some of our residents would prefer a change of scenery from time to time." Faye explained.

Ian nodded as he took a look around, the restaurant was quite similar to most high end dining places in the city, except this one had an aerial view of the city.

"Good morning ma'am." Faye suddenly greeted a young woman that passed by.

The woman was very pretty even if she wasn't wearing any make up, she was at most as old as Ian but she looked like she could still be in school. She was wearing what looked to be casual clothes and yet she still stood out in a crowd with the way she carried herself. Ian felt like he had met her somewhere in the past, he just couldn't place it.

It seemed that the woman also recognized Ian, her gaze lingered on Ian before quickling snapping back to smile at Faye.

"New resident?" She asked Faye.

"Yes ma'am." Faye said in a respectful tone.

The woman simply nodded and left.

"Who was that?" Ian asked when the woman was finally out of earshot.

"That was Miss Nicole Chan, her family owns Saints Hospital and they are very good friends with the Reyes Family. She occasionally comes here to have lunch, she has a unit on the 12th floor." Faye explained to Ian.

"She looks like she's still in school." Ian commented quite absent mindedly.

"She still kind of is." Faye said with a shrug. "She's taking her specialization or something, she's a doctor."

"Oh." Ian said as he looked towards the direction she had left.

"Would you like to see the other floors?" Faye asked Ian.

Ian took out his phone and noticed that it was almost time for lunch, he had to leave now in order to arrive at the restaurant before his family.

"Maybe after I move in." Ian said with a shrug. "I'm running late for lunch, thanks Faye."

"No problem Ian." Faye said, waving at him with a smile as he left the restaurant.

Ian was in such a rush that he almost forgot about his new car, luckily the valet had kept it parked in front of the lobby.

He quickly thanked the valet and drove off to the restaurant.

In all honesty he could have walked to the restaurant, but he decided that he wanted to show his parents the new car, also he felt that they wouldn't believe him if he just told them he was given a car.

Inside the restaurant, Ian waited for his parents and two sisters. It had been a while since they last ate here, it used to be their favorite as a family, but when they lost everything they only came here for special occasions.

"Ian." Richardo Lim said with a smile as he spotted his son.

Ian smiled back and waved as he saw his father and mother arrive.

"Where are Karina and Sam?" Ian asked as he looked by the door to see if his sisters had come.

"They said they weren't hungry." Richardo Lim said with a frown.

Ian knew the real reason his father had asked his sisters to stay home was because he thought his son couldn't afford to pay for such an expensive meal for all of them.

"Dad, I suggest you ask them to follow, what I'm about to tell you will explain why I wanted to celebrate." Ian said with a grin as he pointed at his dad's phone.

He also made a mental note to replace the old thing, it had been his father's phone for the past ten years and it was already quite beat up.

"Tell us first, then I'll decide." Richardo Lim told his son as he crossed his arms on his chest.

"Alright, I've been hired to be the assistant to the future CEO of the Reyes Group, they gave me a house, a car, and a starting bonus that will blow your minds away.." Ian suddenly said, shocking both of his parents.
