It was almost 3:30 in the afternoon, when Larry Ballmer finally reached the destination of his trip and parked his car in front of large round single building of oval ground plan. It was first time he has ever bought significant share in condominium of apartments and one single apartment for himself. Not that he was buying the place for living very often, but every few months or years he decided to change surrounding and move somewhere else. He was not the kind of person bounded to one place for major part of his life at all. He liked travelling and changes. And last but not least - he was extremely wealthy with almost no commitments at all. Which made such life style much easier and feasible.
Once in the past, he had his lucky day and with few original ideas and patents he succeeded in the field, which was almost unknown those days and he managed to find the hole in the market. And he filled it completely. Which made him terribly rich and almost carefree man. From those times, he used to take care of his companies and investments, which took most of his time. Step by step he learned to be the one who has the control and power, although he had never showed it off spectacularly. It was not his style. But when someone tried to interfere when he decided for something, he could take care of him completely and made him or her change mind.
This time he decided to move for some time to the middle sized city which took his attention and after few days of searching, he finally found the place called Maple Garden Residence Which seemed to be the place for him. It was rather newly built and it has consisted of 22 large apartments joined in one condominium of round shape with detached courtyard and garden in the middle. The garden has had about 50 meters in diameter and was shared with all apartments and except of other equipment, it included pool. In the middle of courtyard garden was burly maple, which was presumably the reason of the name.
Every apartment had its own entrance from the street, own underground garage and access to the courtyard. There were also 'safety zone' in front of the entrances with lawn, small trees and flowers, separating the building from the street and bounded with fence. Single apartments didn't have any straight connection with each other except of courtyard garden (of course they shared common walls). When he was buying controlling package of stocks of whole condominium and his own apartment, he thought it would be great place to live for some time. The whole idea of the place seemed perfect to him.
Now it was first time he decided to visit the place as new owner and he was ready to move in during next few days. First of all he was supposed to meet the woman, who worked as a manager of the place. She technically became his new employee, although he was not the only owner. There were supposed to work also some other people, but she managed the place and was also in charge of him moving in.
He finally found the right entrance and pressed the button of the doorbell marked as "Office".
