Chapter 37: Bring Your Clothes, Everything Else Is Included

As the saleswomen continued arguing among themselves, each trying to steal credit for the sale, Lucas finally spoke.

"I’d like to speak with the manager."

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire office fell silent.

Nobody dared interrupt him anymore.

After all, this was a man who had just spent twenty million dollars as casually as buying groceries.

Whether they liked it or not, he was now the most important person in the building.

Lana quickly nodded and pulled out her phone.

"I’ll call him right away, sir."

"A few minutes later, the elevator let out a crisp ding. The doors slowly parted, and a figure emerged, walking forward with steady, imposing steps that immediately drew everyone’s attention."

Soon, a fat man with a massive belly appeared.

His expensive suit looked like it was fighting for its life against his stomach.

The moment he arrived, he immediately started shouting.

"I hope there is a very important reason for dragging me down here!"

His voice was filled with annoyance.

Clearly, he wasn’t happy about being interrupted.

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just from the first impression alone, he could already tell what kind of manager this man was.

The type who relied on connections rather than ability.

The type who spent more time sitting in an office than actually managing people.

The type who couldn’t care less about what happened inside the company as long as his paycheck arrived on time.

Before Lucas could say anything, Lana stepped forward nervously.

"Sir, a customer wants to see you."

She pointed toward Lucas.

The manager barely glanced at him before speaking impatiently.

"Look, young man."

"We’ve already given you the best price possible."

"My presence isn’t going to make the property any cheaper."

As he spoke, he started turning around as if preparing to leave.

Lucas almost laughed.

The entire company was truly unbelievable.

First the saleswomen.

Now the manager.

For a moment, he genuinely wondered how Skyreach Developments managed to maintain such a high online rating.

Five stars?

More like fake reviews.

Fortunately, before Lucas could lose his temper, Lana hurriedly spoke.

"Sir, he’s the customer who just purchased the building in Imperial Gardens."

The manager froze.

His body stopped moving completely.

Slowly...

Very slowly...

He turned around.

"Which house?" he asked.

Lana swallowed.

"The twenty-million-dollar luxury duplex."

Silence.

The manager’s eyes widened.

Then his expression changed so quickly that it was almost impressive.

The arrogance disappeared.

The impatience disappeared.

Even the annoyance vanished.

A bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Sir!"

"Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?"

He practically jogged toward Lucas.

"Please forgive my attitude earlier."

"I wasn’t aware I was speaking with such an important client."

The saleswomen nearby almost rolled their eyes.

The speed of his transformation was terrifying.

Lucas simply looked at him calmly.

"I have a question."

"Of course, sir."

"Does an intern have the right to sell property in this company?"

The manager frowned.

"Of course they do."

"As long as they’re an employee of Skyreach Developments, they have the right to sell any available property."

Lucas nodded.

"That’s strange."

He pointed toward Lana.

"Because your staff keep saying she isn’t qualified to sell Imperial Gardens."

The manager’s face immediately darkened.

Lucas wasn’t finished.

He continued calmly.

"Not only that, but most of your employees ignored me when I walked in."

"The only reason this sale happened at all was because Lana was the only person willing to help me."

The office instantly became silent.

Nobody dared speak.

The manager glanced around the room.

In truth, he already understood exactly what happened.

Normally, an intern handling a twenty-million-dollar client wasn’t ideal.

Large clients were usually assigned to experienced salespeople.

Not because of company policy.

But because interns lacked experience and might accidentally scare away important customers.

However...

Rules existed to protect company profits.

And right now, the company had already earned twenty million dollars.

So suddenly, those rules didn’t seem very important anymore.

The manager immediately nodded.

"Sir, you’re absolutely right."

"Lana did nothing wrong."

Then he turned toward the saleswomen.

His expression became cold.

"Anyone who disagrees is free to resign."

The room instantly exploded.

"Manager!"

"You can’t be serious!"

"That’s unfair!"

"She just got lucky!"

The manager slammed his hand against a nearby desk.

"Enough!"

His voice thundered through the office.

"Not one of you greeted this customer."

"Not one of you offered assistance."

"You all judged him based on appearance."

His gaze swept across the room.

"Meanwhile, Lana did her job."

"So tell me."

"Why shouldn’t she get the commission?"

Nobody could answer.

Because deep down...

They knew he was right.

The manager snorted.

"Since all of you seem to have so much free time, this month’s bonuses are canceled."

The room immediately turned pale.

Some people looked like they were about to cry.

Meanwhile, Lana stood frozen.

She couldn’t believe what was happening.

Not only had she earned a four-million-dollar commission...

But Lucas had also personally stood up for her.

A warm feeling quietly spread through her heart.

For the first time that day, she looked at Lucas differently.

Far differently.

Lucas, however, didn’t notice.

He was already thinking about something else.

"I’d like to inspect the property."

The manager immediately smiled.

"Of course, sir."

Then he turned toward Lana.

"You’ll accompany Mr. Gray."

Lana quickly nodded.

"Yes, sir."

About twenty minutes later, a company vehicle arrived outside the building.

Lucas, Elena, Noah, and Lana boarded together.

As the vehicle slowly drove toward Imperial Gardens, excitement began building inside the car.

After all...

They were about to see a twenty-million-dollar mansion.

Their mansion.

As the company vehicle slowly rolled through the grand gates of Imperial Gardens Estate, Lucas immediately understood why it was considered the most luxurious residential community in Dustford.

The roads inside the estate were wide enough for several cars to drive side by side without feeling crowded. Both sides were lined with perfectly trimmed trees, colorful flower gardens, and decorative fountains that sprayed crystal-clear water into the air. Every villa and duplex they passed looked like something pulled straight out of a luxury magazine.

Even Elena and Noah could not hide their shock.

They had lived ordinary lives for decades and had never stepped foot inside a place like this before.

"This place must cost a fortune..." Elena muttered under her breath.

Noah silently nodded in agreement.

Soon, the vehicle stopped in front of a magnificent duplex located in one of the estate’s prime areas.

The moment they stepped out, everyone froze.

The duplex stood proudly on over four hundred square meters of land. Its elegant exterior combined modern architecture with classic luxury. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the sunlight beautifully, while a carefully landscaped garden surrounded the property.

A private driveway led directly to a spacious garage capable of housing multiple luxury vehicles.

Lana smiled as she walked beside them.

"Mr. Lucas, this is the property."

Lucas slowly looked around.

Even he had to admit it.

The house was far better than he expected.

As they entered through the massive double doors, Elena instinctively covered her mouth in shock.

The living room alone was almost the size of their entire apartment.

A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling several meters above them, sparkling brilliantly. Imported marble flooring stretched across the entire first floor, reflecting the light from the giant windows.

The furniture was already fully installed.

Large luxury sofas.

Designer coffee tables.

Premium carpets.

Decorative artwork.

Everything had already been carefully arranged.

Lana noticed their surprise and explained with a smile.

"This property is fully furnished."

"You don’t need to buy anything after moving in."

The words left Elena and Noah stunned.

Nothing?

Not even furniture?

Lana nodded.

"Everything is included."

"Televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, beds, dining tables, kitchen appliances, decorations, curtains, wardrobes, and even some daily necessities."

"You only need to bring your clothes."

"Everything else is already prepared."

Elena felt her legs weaken slightly.

In her entire life, she had never imagined a house could be sold like this.

They would literally be able to move in immediately.

No renovation.

No shopping.

No worrying.

Nothing.

Lucas continued following Lana through the house.

The dining room featured an enormous marble table capable of seating more than ten people comfortably.

The kitchen looked more advanced than many five-star hotel kitchens.

Every appliance was brand new and neatly arranged.

Even the utensils and cookware were already provided.

When they reached the master bedroom, Elena and Noah were completely speechless.

The bedroom was enormous.

The king-sized bed alone looked large enough for four people to sleep comfortably.

Soft premium bedding covered the mattress.

The wardrobe stretched across an entire wall.

A luxury chandelier hung from the ceiling while a private balcony overlooked the beautiful scenery of Imperial Gardens.

Attached to the bedroom was a massive bathroom fitted with a soaking tub, a separate shower area, heated mirrors, and imported fixtures.

The guest rooms were equally impressive.

Every room had its own bed, wardrobe, study desk, air conditioner, and television.

Even the smallest room was larger than the bedroom Lucas had grown up sleeping in.
