There were only two apartment units on this floor. One was home to Natalie and her two children, while the other was unoccupied.

If it were not for her staying up late, Shane might end up lying along the corridor the whole night.

“I live here.” Half-asleep, he shook his head to try to stay awake and replied hoarsely.

Natalie was startled. “Here? Right across?”

She pointed at the door to her left as she asked.

Shane affirmed and handed her a magnetic stripe card. “Please, my head is spinning.”

“Alright.” Having overcome her initial shock, Natalie quickly took the card.

“Did you just buy this apartment, Mr. Shane?” Natalie stopped glancing around and asked.

“No.” Shane rubbed against his temples. “I bought it a long time ago but never stayed here.”
