"So you're saying this girl insulted your colleague?" Madison asked and Qin answered in frustration.
"How many times do you need me to repeat it? Of course, she did. She even compared him to a nurse. Can you imagine that?"
Madison couldn't help but laugh over the phone causing Qin to get annoyed. "Why? What's so funny?" he didn't find the whole scenario funny at all.
"I'm sorry. So this colleague of yours, is he a friend?" she asked knowing that he didn't have any friends.
"Ah... Well... He's not my friend, he's just a colleague." he hesitantly responded but flared up in the next second. "But what has that even got to do with the issue now?" he asked angrily.
Madison scoffed. "Well, you seem to be so angry that I thought you were talking about yourself," she spoke meaningfully and Qin froze for a second.
He began to laugh awkwardly over the phone to clear the air. "You're so funny... That can never happen to me. Not only am I smart, but I'm also the most wanted bachelor in country C." he narcissistically responded.
Madison was quick to point out his mistake. "Actually, you're the second on the chat. Gerard remains the most desired bachelor in country C."
There was a brief silence on the other end. "Ha..." Qin scoffed. "You mean he used to be the most desired bachelor. Not anymore. He's married, did you forget that?"
"What good is the title of a married man when it is only known by a few people." she pointed out leaving Qin speechless. Indeed, Ayla and Gerard, we're married but this isn't known by people. Even Ayla doesn't recall marrying Gerard.
He shook his head and went back to the initial topic. "That's not what matters right now. What matters is the poor guy's pride has been shattered by that girl blabbering mouth."
Madison sighed uninterestedly. "What's the reason for this call?" she asked not knowing why exactly he called her to complain about a patient's attitude towards the doctor. Did she look like a doctor?
"I care about all my colleagues and I don't know how to make him feel better since his pride was obviously hurt." he blatantly lied to her.
"What? Do I look like a psychiatrist?" she asked annoyed by his constant nagging.
Just as she was about to hang up, she thought about something very interesting. "Well, I think there is something he can do." she smiled cunningly and Qin was ecstatic to know that he was about to find a solution to his predicament.
"Really? What is it? Tell me. I'll do anything." he sounded too excited for someone who was pretending.
He took a glass up and drank to relieve his stress but what Madison said next made him pour all the water out in embarrassment.
Madison looked very serious and began to advise him. "If the girl was being rude, there is a possibility that she likes him and was just pretending."
Qin cleaned his mouth and couldn't believe that she came up with such a theory that didn't even make sense. He turned another cup of water to drink but soon regretted it.
"And if he feels so bothered about it, there is a great chance that he likes her as well."
Qin spat out the water again and wanted to strangle Madison for making such jokes.
"What! No... I don't like her. I'm literally boiling in anger every time I remember what she said to me. Aish..." he looked away not realizing that he had given himself away.
Madison scoffed. "So much for the most desired man in country C." immediately after saying that, she hung up and it was only then that he knew that he used the word 'I' and not 'he'.
He stared at the phone with a pitiful expression on his face and soon threw it across the room then pulled on his hair. He knew that Madison would not stop talking about this moment until the day she dies.
"Aish... Why do I have so much bad luck in just one day?" he lamented as he hit his head on the desk repeatedly.

We were soon done with breakfast and I'll the while, I avoided his gaze on me. To be honest, what happened yesterday made me feel more connected to him and now, I felt like we were inseparable.
"Would you like to go somewhere?" Gerard asked and I shook my head.
"I'll be resuming work on Monday and I have to read for my upcoming exams. I don't think I have the luxury of going out right now." I responded and he nodded in understanding.
"Okay then, I should let you read properly." he nodded.

There was a brief silence in the living room until I felt his hands on mine. I looked up at him quizzically and he smiled gently.
He raised his hand and caressed my hair causing me to wonder if something happened. "Did something happen?" I asked confused.
Gerard shook his head then placed my head on his chest. I couldn't help but smile at this act of his. I could hear his steady heartbeat and he felt more human the more his heart beats.
Gerard sighed and spoke. "You don't have to work yourself out. If the work is too much to handle then there is no use working there. Focus on your exams."
I knew he was saying all this because he cared for me but then again, this job was something I really wanted to do.
I looked up at him and smiled slightly, "I'm stronger than you think. Just like a bomb."
His lips curved upwards and he patted my head again. "I know."
"How about we go somewhere in the evening? When the sun has completely disappeared," she asked and Gerard looked at her confused. She just said she wanted to focus on her studies and now she wants to go?
He smiled and asked, "Where?"
Ayla said nothing and just hugged his waist tighter. She looked as though she wanted to sleep some more and Gerard couldn't help but smile.
Ayla slept in his arms like a tiny kitten and he couldn't help but love her more. She was like an addiction that he couldn't overcome.
Now that his demon tasted her, he wanted to claim her and yearned to make her his as soon as possible. He wanted more of her, every day, every hour, every minute and even every second.
Ayla slept for a while and soon woke up to find herself in the room. Gerard was nowhere to be found in the room and she felt as though she couldn't be separated from him even for a minute.
She got off and went looking for him but he was neither in the kitchen nor the living room and dining room.
She wondered where he could have gone and went upstairs to check his study. Just as she was about to knock on the door, it opened.
"Hey..." she greeted with tired eyes and he responded with a smile.
"I was just about to come and check on you. Do you feel tired anywhere?" he asked.
Ayla shook her head in denial and smiled. She studied him from head to toe and noticed that he looked more handsome in casual clothes.
She moved closer and held the tip of his shirt then tiptoed.
Gerard held his breath because he was worried that this might lead to something else and she had not recovered fully.
She tucked her hair behind her ear leaving her neck bare. It was a tantalizing sight but Gerard maintained his self-control even though he was standing on a slim thread.
She spoke in a whisper, "This haircut suits you a lot."
Gerard grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. His swift movement made her winced in pain. "Hey, I'm still hurting. It feels as though I am suffering the aftermath of frog jump."
Seeing her complain like that when she started it made him laugh. "Mrs Jarek, I can't control myself when you make advances like that."
Ayla scoffed. "Making advances? I was only fixing your shirt and complimenting your haircut. You call that advances?" she asked surprised by what he was thinking.
She saw that his shirt was squeezed at the bottom and that was why she helped him adjust it. 'Tch... What was he thinking?' she wondered.
Gerard didn't let go of her waist and just held her like that for a while. "Where would you like to go?" he asked looking at her lovingly and she responded almost instantly.
"A shooting range." she learnt that there was a shooting range not too far from where they were staying and wanted to check it out since she never saw one.
Gerard was surprised by her request. He didn't see that coming but after digesting what she said, he chuckled. "Alright then, we'll make it a competition. If you can shoot better than me, you'll make a request but if you lose, I get to make a request."
"Deal."
