Madison was speechless. She was used to Gerard's cold nature but hearing him talk like this about Ayla was on another level. This was the first person Gerard was showing so much affection towards and single people would die by just seeing the both of them together.
As though wasn't enough, he decides to add more salt to her wound. "Why? Oh I remember, you're still single," he spoke casually and this act of his made her more furious.
"Hey! What's your business with my relationship status?" she yelled at him and he scoffed.
"It's not my fault that you can't help but butt into my marriage issues." he shrugged and the lines got disconnected.
Gerard chuckled and placed his phone on the table but he knew it wasn't over. Just seconds later, his phone beeped and he knew who the notification would be from.
He took his phone and checked the screen then sighed. "I knew she wouldn't give up that easily." he opened the notification and saw an angry emoji. That was all Madison could send and he couldn't help but scoff.
He dropped his phone and lay on his bed for a while, tired from simply asking other people to get things done.
After a few minutes of rest, he took his phone and placed a call to someone. The phone didn't even get the chance to ring before the other party answered.
"Hello Sir." his secretary responded almost instantly.
"Place a call to CSG and tell them to grant the employment of miss Ayla who would be interviewed tomorrow." his words were straightforward and she responded instantly.
"Yes sir. I'll do that now." the lines got disconnected and she didn't wait for a second to place the call.
"Hello, this is CSG. How may I help you?" the secretary was in charge of taking her boss's call answered and didn't even know who was on the line.
From the background, Gerard's secretary could hear Henry asking his secretary who was on the line.
A sigh left her mouth. "This call is from the office of Mr Gerard Jarek. There would be an applicant for a job interview in your company. Do well to notify your boss that Mr Gerard wants that person hired. She goes by the name Ayla." she spoke very fluently and the other secretary couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes... Yes, I'll deliver your message now." she hurriedly responded and the lines got disconnected.
"Who was that?" he spoke with pride in his tone as he searched his phone in the moving car but when he heard his secretary's response, he froze.
"It's a call from the office of Mr Jarek." she smiled happily feeling privileged to be able to hear from the most professional secretary in country C.
Although she had not spoken to Gerard himself, it was a privilege talking to someone who was frequently by his side.
"Huh? Which Jarek?" Henry knew of only one Mr Jarek and knew that it would be impossible that it was the same person.
"Mr Gerard Jarek. The king of country C." the secretary cleared his doubts ad he immediately reached for the phone in his secretary's hand.
"What... What is the line already disconnected?" he asked staring at the phone in disbelief.
Anyone who saw him at that moment would not believe that he was the same arrogant bas*ard who always believed that he was above everyone else.
The secretary scoffed and took the phone from his hand. "His secretary called to notify you that a girl by the name of Ayla would be coming for an interview and he wants her to get the job." she shrugged with a mischievous smile on her face.
Henry looked confused. "Since when did Gerard become interested in girls?" He asked.
His secretary shrugged. "No. I bet she's just someone he's trying to help out. She can't be very important."
"Ah... I see." he nodded planning something in his head.
The secretary also had her head running haywire thinking about how she could use this to her advantage.
"Lisa, don't you think it would be great if we ask for something in return. I mean, my company could use some assistance from Gerard," he mentioned Gerard's name as though they were on per and even Lisa could not help but glare at him.
"You call his name so casually as though you are both on the same level." she snorted and Henry scoffed proudly.
"What? What more does he have aside from his title? When it comes to looks and elegance, you can't compare this look..." he pointed to his face "...and that of your so-called king."

Lisa scoffed. "Sure... I definitely can't compare. You're not even as handsome as his butler." she whispered the last sentence so he couldn't hear.
"See... Why would I care about such a person when I have the whole world at my feet and all the girls in country C scavenging around me like flies." his narcissistic attitude was on another level and Lisa was getting fed up just by sitting next to him
"Sure... All the girls love you because you're the easiest to get." this time around, he heard her and his eyes turned red.
"What did you just say?" he asked furiously.
"Oh... Well, I said not only are you handsome but also kind. This is why all the girls flock around you." she spoke as though boosting his ego but he didn't buy it.
"Stop the car!" he yelled at the driver and she knew what was coming.
The driver got down seeing as this was a usual occurrence. "Maybe I should just grab a coffee because this is going to take long." the driver sighed and walked to the nearest cafe leaving the duo in the car.
"What did you say? That I'm easy?" he looked at her angrily and as though Lisa had grown a tail, she retorted.
"Why? Are you going to beat me in the car? Or have you forgotten that you still need my work expertise?" she glared at him and seeing that this was the first time she spoke back at him, he was speechless.
"Henry," she referred to him by his name without adding any respect at all.
"You will continue to do as I say or else, there would be no CSG in the nearest future and if you think this is a joke, I dare you to lay a finger on me." she glared at him and he became like an obedient lamb that couldn't talk back.
'You just wait and see. Once I get connected with Gerard, you'll be kicked out from my company.' Henry thought to himself as that was the only thing he could do.
Henry knocked on the window and the driver came in with the coffee in his hand. He wasn't expecting them to finish their argument so quickly but he was glad he made it back in time.
"Take me back home." Henry requested and the driver nodded.
He made a U-turn and drive but Lisa stopped him. "Take me to the office. I have some work to do."
The driver was now confused. Was he supposed to continue driving or make a turn again?
Weighing the best option, he decided to continue driving since his boss was indeed Henry and not Lisa.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear her?" Henry yelled at him and he immediately found an excuse.
"Sorry, sir. I'm looking for a chance to make a turn." immediately he got to the next turn, he sped off like a hurricane.
'These two are unpredictable. One time they are fighting and the next, he takes her side.' he shook his head in disbelief.
Henry turned and faced his window still angry and Lisa did the same except she wasn't expressive about her emotions and just pretended to be unbothered.
She got a call on her phone and when she looked at it, she hissed and put it on silent.
It was from a woman named Mare, her mother whomever she didn't want to have any relationship with anymore.
Lisa was the biological daughter of Mare and the stepsister to Ayla but after she left Salem, she didn't want to have anything to do with her mother or Ayla anymore.
On her own, she became a secretary and made a name for herself by working with CSG.
Although it wasn't a big company like Gerard's empire, it was still hotcake in country C and working with Henry was the dream of many.
She scoffed and looked at Henry from the side of her eyes. 'I have you trapped in my hands and one day, you'll wake up to the realization that you are nothing but my employee.' she smiled mischievously and focused on what she was looking at outside.
***
Gerard sighed after receiving the confirmation call from his secretary. He had just come out of the shower and looked at the cupboard on his right.
He opened it and took out a tiny box. 'I never got the opportunity to do this.. Will she say yes?' he wondered.
