Ellery_
I stopped in the middle of the airport, trying to get my phone out of my purse. When I finally managed to do that, I found a number for my new apartment. I put the phone to my ear, running my free hand through my dark, slightly curly hair, and waited for someone to talk to me.
"I'm listening" A young male voice reached my ears.
"Hello, I'm Ellery Miller, I'm calling about a place to live," I said into the phone, trying to hide the excitement in my voice.
"Yes, Ellery" I can guess that this man had forgotten about my arrival, "now I can't meet you, so you'll have to come yourself okay? I'll send you the address" He laid it all out, sighing at the end of his speech.
"of course, I'll wait for messages, but I don't have a key" I said, starting to walk towards the exit from the airport.
"When you get there, I'll tell you where to find it , call me when you're there" The man hung up the phone.
I shook my head at all the unknown questions in my head. My biggest fear is that this man lied to me about the apartment, and then I ended up sleeping on the street.
My phone beeped which means I got a message, when I opened it I saw the address. After getting into the taxi, I said the address, and the man raised one eyebrow and started driving.

Landlord: The key is left with the house guard.
Eighth floor, sixth apartment.
We will meet in the evening ;)
Emily: Thanks :)
Landlord: Call when you enter the apartment :)
Emily: Okay :)

I didn't get an answer anymore. I put my phone in my purse and looked out the car window.
New York is a truly beautiful city, it is not called the city of dreams for nothing. The taxi stopped at a high-rise black building.
At least from the outside it looks really luxurious. I got out of the car, looked around, and then handed the money to the taxi driver, also taking my big black suitcase from him. Seeing a man dressed in a guard's uniform, I went to him, believing that the key to my apartment was with him.

"good afternoon, I was informed that the keys to the sixth apartment should be left with you" I said kindly and smiled. "Yes, you're right, the keys are with me" He said, pulling out a silver key from his pocket, and then he handed it to me, "besides, if you're going to live here, my name is Max" An elderly man smiled.
"Nice to meet you" I smiled as I answered, and then took the key, "see you next time" I said kindly and went inside.
I went to the elevator, pressed the button, and then the door opened. When I entered I pressed the number of my floor and took a deep breath, I have never liked elevators, they terrify me. As soon as the elevator door opened, I went out, immediately seeing the door of the sixteenth apartment in front of me. inserting the key into the lock, I turned it, and then I opened the door, and I was surprised by the sight.
A spacious living room, as far as my eyes can see, a long sand-colored sofa, next to a huge window with a view of the city center. I pulled out my phone again from my purse, pressing the landlord's name.
"I'm listening" Again the same male voice reached my ears.

I'm already in the apartment" I said quickly, looking around the apartment.
"Okay, your room is immediately to the left when you enter the apartment" I looked back, seeing a white door.
When I opened the door, I was surprised by the view from the large window. "Your apartment is very beautiful" I said, not feeling it myself.
A pleasant laugh filled my ears, and I felt myself blush at it.
"We'll see you in the evening" That's all, the man hung up.
There is a double bed in the middle of my room, a wardrobe with mirrors near it, and a desk by the window. I frowned when I saw the door in my room.
I opened them and saw a bathroom. Everything was done in ivory, which looks absolutely stunning. I can't believe I'm living here on just a thousand dollars a month. In England, I paid three hundred pounds a week for a one-room apartment, with even worse conditions. Apparently, this time, God visited me.

After I took a bath, I put on my nightgowns and lay down on the soft bed, as soon as I managed to do it, I fell asleep, completely forgetting about the meeting with the landlord.
