Chapter 141: Do You Have Feelings For Her?

Soon, it was Monday again. Ayla had so much to do today and knew she wouldn't have any time for herself today. She had to go to school, for a few lectures and then to her part-time job for work. Because the exams were fast approaching, she didn't have much to do in school.

Before Gerard woke up that morning, she was already gone. He also had a lot to do at work. He had a lot of business meetings to attend and he was planning on acquiring a textile industry. Because the Jarek empire was vast and he had various businesses and acquired companies as though he was just getting a new shoe or cloth.

For Jarek, there was no limit to growth. He cherished work and before he got to know Ayla, his work was all he cared about.

Being known as the most important man in country C was no joke. His businesses supported the country greatly. In fact, being important was an understatement. He was more like a basic necessity for the country to stand amongst the world's leading.

He called his secretary, "Have you set the meeting with YZ?"

"Yes. Just as you wanted, they are already waiting for you here. I told them the meeting would hold in your office and nowhere else." because of Gerard's sensitivity to light, even his secretary knew that he preferred meetings to be held in his office or at night.

"Um." he hung up and knot his tie before taking his beep blue tuxedo and leaving his residence.

"Did Ayla get to school already?" he asked the A.I in the car and it responded 'yes'.

"Okay then, take me to the office." he scanned through his iPad for details of the meeting and other things he had to do. He read through the documents and had a full insight on how to claim the deal and make everything go smoothly.

For Gerard, closing business deals was piece of cake and he could do it even with his eyes closed. When he thought about it, he recalled the incident with Ayla when she bargained with him on the shooting field.

He shook his head. 'I can't spend a minute without thinking about her.' he thought and pulled out his phone to give her a call but stopped.

'She must be at school already.' having this in mind, he settled for a text instead.

'Call me when you're done with work, I'll come over to get you.' was what he sent to her before focusing on his iPad again.

Soon, he got to his office and met with the former owner of the company who was willing to sell it and a lawyer and other investors. His lawyer was also present to handle the contract signing and other legal proceedings.

Their discussion lasted for an hour and during the first thirty minutes, Gerard could help but look at his phone to see if he had a new message from Ayla but got none.

"So what you're saying in a nutshell is, you can't sell the company for that amount?" Gerard asked ignoring his phone and focusing on the issue at hand.

"Actually, Mr Gerard, we have other people who are willing to buy the company at a higher price and the offer you have given is not worth the company price." the lawyer of the company, Mr Daniel responded.

Gerard leaned back on his chair and weighed the options on ground. For him, he was offering a very good price for a company that is already experiencing bankruptcy. What more could Daniel and his boss want?

Gerard's lawyer wanted to come into an agreement with them on a certain amount. "How about we add 5 per cent to the already decided prize?" he asked and the owner, Yosef thought for a while thinking of how well he would benefit from that increment but his greed did not let him stop there. He whispered to Daniel to raise the price to 10 per cent.

"Mr Chen, why don't we make it 10 per cent? That way, everyone would be happy and my client wouldn't have to sell it to those other people pestering his life." he smiled with so much greed in his eyes.

Chen could see through their skims but knew how much Gerard wanted that company. "Let's make it 7 per cent." he requested and Yosef pretended to be thinking for a while. The original money was already so much for a company that is not worth a million dollars but because it was Gerard who was buying it, he felt the need to take advantage of him.

He smiled slightly showing his covetous and just when he was about to take the deal, someone stopped him.

"The company isn't worth more than the previous price." everyone turned to look at the once quiet Gerard who sat lazily on his chair.

He sat up and looked at Yosef with a serious expression. "Don't you agree?" he asked with a threatening yet calm gaze.

Yosef did not know when he nodded firmly. It was true that no one would pay as much as Gerard was offering but he just wanted to steal as much as he could from Gerard. After all, money was nothing to Gerard.

Gerard leaned back and sighed. "I have more important things to worry about and this is a waste of my time. The deal is off."

As soon as he said this, the room fell silent and in the next minute, Yosef and the lawyer began to plead. They knew that they couldn't get a better deal and the fact that he said other people wanted the company for a higher price was a lie.

To make matters worse, if other people find out that Gerard rejected the company because of this reason, he would never be able to sell it for a decent amount. In fact, he might never be able to sell it at all.

Yosef was extremely worried and even went on his knees to beg. "The company is still in good shape and it's worth so much. Taking that initial price will not be worth it. Try to reconsider." he requested but Gerard was done with him.

He got up from his chair and was about to walk out with his lawyer but Yousef begged more. This time, wanting to take the initial amount.

"Don't you get it, Mr Yousef? Even if you decide to make it free, it would still be unacceptable to my client." Chen explained, shattering their hopes of ever getting the deal again and Yousef knew he was done for

.

Gerard walked out of his office with Chen walking behind him. The other investors present ran after Gerard to seek favour from him. They were not happy with Yousef's way of handling the business deal and his dishonesty and wanted to pull out their shares from YZ.

Gerard paid no attention to them and just went for his next appointment. This was more of a personal appointment with Qin.

While at the hospital, Gerard and Qin sat opposite each other. It was as though he had come for therapy but the distressed one wasn't Gerard but Qin.

"She always makes my life miserable. It seems she is doing deliberately because she can't get enough of this handsome face." he lamented in frustration but Gerard was as calm as the wind.

"I didn't come here to listen to how miserable your life life is. How come I'm listening to you lament?" Gerard asked calmly and uninterested in Qin's rants.

"The most annoying part is that she compared me to a nurse." Qin ignore Gerard and continued with his rants.

Gerard pinched the space between his brow and leaned back frustratedly. It seemed as though everyone was out to frustrate him today. And to make matters worse, Ayla had not replied to his text since early this morning.

He had had enough of Qin's rants and decided to listen to him so that they could come up with a quick solution. "You are talking as though you have feelings for the girl," Gerard responded and without thinking, Qin responded,

"Exactly!..." there was silence for a while. Qin didn't expect that he would say it. In fact, he strongly believed that he didn't have feelings for her.

"What no!" he quickly denied. To him, Kara was just someone who was out to frustrate him.

Gerard raised a brow and leaned closer with a serious expression. "How do you feel around her?" he asked ignoring Qin's denial.

Qin leaned back and pouted apathetic to respond. "Well, I have no idea, she always gets on my nerves and that's why I don't even know how I feel around her except for the fact that she annoys me."

Gerard sighed. "You should have just said she annoys you. Why the long speech?" he asked stating an obvious point.

Qin's brow furrowed. He knew that Kara was annoying for comparing him to a nurse and that was all that mattered.

"Aside from calling you a nurse, what else has she done to get on your nerves?" Gerard asked and Qin was rendered speechless.
