Chapter 84: Silent Treatment: Who's The Boss?

Elizabeth and I walked for a long time and she told me along of things that I felt she shouldn't be sharing with a stranger.

We got to a local restaurant and I suggested that we stop there to get some coffee. "We should stop here for some coffee. You must be tired from walking for a very long time."

She smiled and nodded then we went into the coffee shop. We were asked what we wanted and Elizabeth made her request first.

"Please got me a hot caffè latte." she turned to look at me and I smiled at her choice of coffee.

The attendant looked at me for my order and I requested the same. The latte was my best version of coffee and seeing that she liked it as well even at this old age surprised me.

"I saw you standing in front of the modelling agency. You look perfect for the job," she commented and I smiled.

"Do you work there?" she asked and I shook my head.

"Actually, I admire models and fashion but my dream is not to become one," I explained clearing the air and she looked surprised.

She didn't ask questions about it anymore. Our coffee came and I couldn't wait to get my hand on that tantalizing coffee.

I suddenly started getting close to the woman and I didn't even know how. After all, we had just met and I didn't really know her.

She asked about school and was delighted to know that I went to the top school in the country.

She was like a grandmother I never had and I didn't know why I felt an attachment towards her.

"Do you have a place in mind that you want to work after the conclusion of your studies?" she asked as she sipped on the coffee.

"None yet. I came out today looking for a part-time job and that was why you saw me in front of the modelling agency."

She nodded in understanding. "Oh dear, look at the time." she sighed.

"Here..." she passed me a card that had her name and details on it. "You can call me whenever you need any assistance with getting the job. In fact, how would you feel about working in that agency?"

She pointed at the card in front of me and I realized it was the fashion industry, MOTIVES. This is one of the biggest industries in the world even the people in rural places like Salem have heard about the name.

I blinked twice and was speechless. Did she really want me to work for MOTIVES?

"Think about the offer but for now, I need to be at a meeting. Where do you stay? I'll drop you off." she suggested but I didn't think it was necessary.

"Not too far from here. Besides, I'll be meeting with someone thanks for the offer." I politely responded and she nodded.

"Give me a call when you make a decision." she reminded me again and I nodded as I watched her leave the shop.

I sat back down and looked at the card again and again. 'I'm not

mistaken right... This is really MOTIVES...'

I paid for the drinks but noticed that she had already dropped the money on the table for the coffee.

I sighed and walked out of the shop then put the card in my bag. Just then, I got a text from Gerard.

'Call me when you're done. I'll come and get you.' I smiled when I saw the message and texted him back immediately.

'I'm done. I'll wait where you left me earlier.' was my response to him and I slipped my phone into my bag after that.

Gerard packed all his necessary files from the office and headed out. Just like the mansion and the apartment, Gerard's office was dark with no sunlight and only artificial bulbs.

He had an elevator that led straight from his office to his private parking lot. No one used this elevator and where he parked his car was out of bounds even to staff at the company.

He got into the car and it automatically drove off to the destination he wanted to go to.

He didn't want to keep Ayla waiting and that was why he rushed over to get her.

When the car stopped at the place where he had dropped her in the morning, he saw her standing there with a smile on her face and Immediately entered the car.

"Hy you..." I leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek then sat properly.

"How did everything go with your friend?" he asked and I pushed my lips.

I didn't want to lie to him so I just told him the truth. "I actually didn't meet up with a friend. I went in search of a job."

I looked everywhere else except at him and I could feel his gaze on me. "A job?"

I looked at him and nodded awkwardly. "Yup." I tried to make the issue casual but it didn't seem to work out.

"You should have told me. I would have helped you." he didn't look angry just surprised that I never mentioned it to him.

"I don't want you to worry about it. I want to do this on my own." I politely explained but he didn't look happy at all.

I looked at him and noticed that he was facing his papers and not saying anything anymore.

I pursed my lips and wondered why he was taking it so seriously. After all, it's only a job. I didn't expect that he would behave this way.

What to do? It's not like I'm planning to run away. I just don't want to bother him about it and I want to work as any regular person would.

"I didn't plan to hide it from you, you know? I just want to work as any normal person would. Even you work don't you?" I turned the tables around and it seemed to have worked.

Gerard sighed then tore his gaze from the papers. He pinched the space between his brow but after a while, he looked back at the papers and continued reading.

I furrowed my brow seeing him give me the silent treatment. 'Hey mister, if I didn't tell you would you have known? You should be grateful that I even told you instead of behaving so hottie.' I pouted my lips and wished I could say all my thoughts out but I knew it was impossible.

'Maybe you should just leave him be for now.' the angel in my mind suggested but wherever the angel went, the devil followed.

'And why should she do that? Ayla, take responsibility for lying to him and tell him you're sorry. Maybe you should pretend to be crying or better still cry. He wouldn't be able to watch you cry.'

'Have you lost your mind? Why should she cry? She has her integrity to uphold. Crying is out of the picture and I suggest you just say nothing and give him the silent treatment back. That would be savage don't you think?'

I sighed and turned to my window. I placed my head on it and closed my eyes. 'Well angel, I guess you won this time.'

After a long ride, the car stopped and I didn't even wait for a second before getting out of the car.

I walked to the door on my own and left Gerard behind. I was so happy to see him earlier and now he's giving me the silent treatment? We'll see who's the boss in this war of silence.

I went straight to the room and locked the door leaving him speechless. I wasn't angry nor was I happy. All I knew was, I didn't do anything wrong by looking for a job and he would have to pay for treating me that way.

I took a bath and searched my belongings to see what I could wear. As I searched, I stumbled across a red seductive gown.

"Perfect."

I stared at the mirror and smirked. Let's see how long you can keep up that attitude of yours.

The dress was way above my knee and revealing a lot of flesh and although I had never dressed up like this, I was being willful today.

I heard a knock at the door and I sighed. My expression instantly turned cold as I walked to the door.

I opened it and saw Gerard standing there. He looked as though he was about to say something but I didn't wait for him to say anything and just walked out to the living room, leaving Gerard alone to stare while he enjoys the silent yet loud treatment.

My dress was uncomfortable but I didn't mind and I was freezing because of the air conditioner but I didn't say or do anything that would give me away.

I sat on the couch and crossed my legs which caused my dress to go up then folded my arm. I didn't look angry but my face was as cold as ice.

Gerard walked to the living room and sat on the couch where I was sitting as well and wanted to say something but I didn't want to hear it.

"Oh... It's hot here." I moved away from him a little and fanned myself with my hand.

Unexpectedly, Gerard stood up and decreased the temperature of the A.C.

Ayla, what have you gotten yourself into?
