Preparing The Apartment
Thomas spent a week making sure his new tenants’ French apartment was ready. He repainted the entire house in a fresh coat of white paint and double-checked the fittings, cornices, door handles, and plumbing to ensure everything was in working order. He rented a wood polishing machine and buffed the hardwood floors to a gleaming sheen.
The Ideal Family
The seemingly perfect family began to move in after everything was in order, bringing boxes of their belongings with them, which they neatly stacked in the hallway. Thomas handed them the keys and continued on his way.
