Chapter 26 - Gustavo's New Home

After the triumphant premiere and continued success of the film, Gustavo Almeida decides to take an important step in his life in Los Angeles: finding a new home that offers security and privacy. With the support of his agent, Karen Lewis, he is ready to make a significant change.

Contacting the Realtor

A few days after the conversation with Karen, she contacts Gustavo to inform him that she has found a realtor who can help him in the search for a new home. Karen explains that the agent is a big fan of Gustavo, which can make the process easier.

• Karen: "Gustavo, I found an amazing realtor who is excited to work with you. She is a big fan of your work and is eager to help you in the search for your new home. I will put you in touch with her."

• Gustavo: "Great, Karen. I appreciate that. I look forward to seeing what she has to offer." 

Meeting with the Realtor

Gustavo and Karen meet with the realtor, who introduces herself as Emily Carter. She is visibly excited to meet Gustavo and introduces herself warmly.

• Emily Carter: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Gustavo! I'm a huge fan of 'The Gray Man.' Can I take a picture with you?"

• Gustavo: "Sure, Emily. It's great to meet someone who is so enthusiastic about the movie."

After taking a few photos with Emily, Gustavo and Karen head with the realtor for a tour of a home located in Mulholland Estates, in the Beverly Hills neighborhood.

Property Tour

The home in Mulholland Estates is a stunning property with stunning views and top-notch security. Gustavo inspects it carefully, appreciating the elegant design and security features. Emily points out some of the home's highlights, including the state-of-the-art surveillance system and the privacy the property offers.

• Emily Carter: "This home is a true gem. In addition to being secure and private, it offers magnificent space and incredible views."

• Gustavo: "I really like this house. It meets all my security needs and is comfortable. I think I want to keep it."

Neighborhood Discovery

During the visit, Emily mentions that Gustavo will be living next door to Kendall Jenner, a well-known celebrity.

• Emily Carter: "Just so you know, you will be living next door to Kendall Jenner. The house next door is hers."

Gustavo, who has been focused on his military career and work, is not very familiar with today's celebrities and does not immediately recognize the name.

• Gustavo Almeida: "Kendall Jenner, you say? I'm not really into the celebrity world. But as long as the house is safe and comfortable, I'm happy."

Purchasing the Property

With the decision made, Gustavo proceeds to purchase the house. The price tag is a few million dollars, but he can comfortably afford it thanks to his salary from "The Gray Man" and the savings he accumulated during his career in the Special Forces, which included substantial bonuses due to the high-risk nature of the missions.

• Emily Carter: "Congratulations, Gustavo! I'm so glad you found the perfect home. We'll take care of all the paperwork to complete the purchase."

• Gustavo: "Thank you, Emily. I appreciate your help and I'm looking forward to starting this new phase."
