The Rolls Royce slowed to a stop at the curb, its engine purring softly before cutting off. Through the tinted glass, Liam studied the house before him.
The house in front of him, though not as huge as Bellemere Mansion or located in Holmby Hills, wasn't any less magnificent. Elegant stonework climbed its façade, warm light spilled from tall windows, and trimmed hedges flanked a wide driveway.
So this is Matt's family place, Liam thought. Now I see where Stacy's friends get their confidence. They've grown up in homes like this.
Liam stopped admiring the house and reached for his phone to let Matt know he had arrived. Before he could type, a notification buzzed in, a message from Matt,
"I'm not quite ready yet. Can you come in for a bit while I finish up?"
Liam smiled at the message and replied, "No worries, I'll wait here."
From what he could see, this was very much Matt's family residence. If he went inside, he'd almost certainly meet Matt's parents and siblings.
