Chapter 23: Leave the Chores to Me, Your Househusband
Lariette and Ruediger decided on the set of rings the latter suggested. The staff proposed engraving their names, to which they also agreed. The process would take one to three business days.
Ruediger drove Lariette back to Celesta Villa. None of them spoke much during the entire ride but, the ambiance between them seemed better than before.
"Have you finished packing, Eddy? You'll move your belongings the day after tomorrow, right?"
Lariette asked Ruediger about his moving into her apartment. The man told her that he would bring the necessary belongings in two days.
"Yeah. But, I can't immediately unpack them all," Ruediger glanced at Lariette, his emerald eyes glinting softly, "I'll be busy with work until this Thursday."
Lariette simply nodded. Ruediger informed her that he took an official leave today and this Friday. He would be back to work starting tomorrow until the day before they got married.
"You work remotely, right? I've cleared one room for your office. We can set it up this weekend."
Lariette's apartment in Lumina Spring had four bedrooms and three washrooms, not including the living room, kitchen and other areas. She used two of them as her bedroom and home library. Ruediger could use the other two.
A professional cleaning service went to Lariette's apartment yesterday. The team of four deep-cleaned the place because she hadn't lived there in a long time.
Another group of handymen checked on the maintenance aspects a few days ago.
The apartment was ready to welcome its residents again.
