Chapter 97: UCL Vs Valentine's Day

"Are you allergic to the sun?"

Gerard smiled and looked up then turned to me with a serious expression. "I'm cursed."

Our eyes glued together for a while until I began to laugh and his lips curved up. "That wasn't funny." I laughed remembering how serious he was when saying those words.

He smiled and looked ahead. Suddenly, I got a beep from my phone. When I opened it, it was from Kel and it read, 'It's the month of February, what do you have planned?'

I smiled when I read the text and only one thing came to my mind. I turned to look at Gerard and smiled. This month would be awesome.

I texted her back immediately. 'Already had plans but I can't reveal them just yet.' I smiled when I pressed the sent button.

'I can already imagine what it's going to be like. I'm glad Gerard is here so we can enjoy this month together... Argh... I can't wait.' I smiled and turned to the window.

"You're giggling. What excites you this much?" Apparently, he had been noticing me all this while. I shrugged, "Nothing."

The car drove for a while longer and Gerard's phone beeped with a notification. His eyes widened and he almost dropped his phone.

"What's the matter?" I asked concerned but he cleared his throat and shook his head.

"It's nothing."

I nodded and turned to look through the window again.

Gerard picked up his phone again and furrowed his brow when he read the message by Madison.

'It's February, what have you prepared for Valentine's day?' Gerard was not the type to think of things like this but now, he couldn't just ignore them because Ayla was now a part of his life.

He started browsing through his mobile phone for perfect places he could take her on Valentine's day.

Frustrated, he dropped his phone because he didn't know any perfect place.

Just then, he got another message from Madison. 'I can help you search for fun things to do. (Wink emoji)'

Gerard dropped the phone and looked at Ayla who seemed unbothered and was happily looking at the window.

Just then, Ayla's phone beeped and she picked it up. It was a message from Kel again. 'Can't you just tell me already? It's not like it's a surprise for me anyway.'

"Huh?" Ayla was confused after reading the text. How is this supposed to be a surprise? 'Surprise?' she texted Kel back and soon, she got a response.

'You said you didn't want to reveal your plans just yet so it but be a surprise.' Kel responded and Ayla instantly knew that she got the wrong idea.

'I can't reveal them to her because I intend on watching the UEFA champions league this February with Gerard and I don't want any disturbance so what is she talking about? Besides, what else would she be talking about except the UCL?' Ayla thought to herself then shook her head and replied.

'I just want to take a break. For a while, nothing much.' she replied and Kel instantly replied.

'Alright, but if you get bored, you can always hang out with me. I don't have anyone to share this special month with anyway. (Heart emoji.)'

I smiled and replied with an 'ok'. I leaned back and sighed. 'It is indeed a special month. What more could I ask for except the champions league?'

"Hello. Yes? Why did you inform me a few days earlier? I already have plans for today. Cancel the meeting or sent vice president Chen to take a look at it." Gerard was on the phone with someone and it seems he was going to be busy.

From the other end, the person seemed to be panicking and it looked like everything wasn't under control.

"Sir... Mr Chen is in another meeting with Paradise officials." she hesitantly responded and Gerard's brow furrowed.

He closed his eyes and leaned back with the air pod to his ear and his fingers pinching the space between his brow.

I realized that it was something quite important and thought that it would be best if he attended to it first.

"You can attend to it first. I don't mind." I assured him but he looked at me unsure.

"I'm serious. Besides, I want to know where you work." this was a great opportunity for me to see where the almighty Gerard works. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

He sighed and returned to the call. "Prepare everything, I'll be there in 15 minutes." after saying that, he ended the call and I intertwined my arm with his then rested on his shoulder.

I didn't mind staying in the car all day. All I wanted was to be close to him for the whole day.

Soon, we got to the place but I couldn't see anything because the car was in a dark parking lot and I guess it was made specifically for Gerard.

He got off the car and I intended to just wait for him there but he opened the door for me.

"Huh?" I looked at him quizzically.

"Let's go..." was his short answer but I wasn't sure if that would be a good idea. This is the first time I would be coming here and going with him might not sit well with the owner of the company.

"What about your boss? Wouldn't he be furious?" I asked concerned as though I had lost all my sense of reasoning.

Gerard pursed for a while and narrowed his brow at me. I noticed that his lips curved a little but it only lasted for a few seconds.

"He wouldn't mind," he assured and I sighed then got out. I desperately wanted to see what the inside would look like and I'm guessing it would be grand.

He took my hand and we walked to a door together. The door led straight to an elevator which I found strange. Who would want to leave the parking lot straight to his floor? None other than Gerard.

We got in and he pushed the button that led to the fiftieth floor. My eyes widened when I saw the button he pushed.

"Wow! That must be the highest floor right?" I looked at him and asked.

Gerard nodded and looked at the door. Something told me that he wanted to get this over and done with.

Soon, the elevator stopped and opened. We were on the fiftieth floor. I felt as though I was a meter away from the cloud.

'Sigh, Ayla stop behaving ignorantly.' I smiled and walked behind him. On this floor, only his office was situated here. I couldn't even see the secretary and there weren't any windows by the walkway.

He pushed the only door on the floor open and my eyes could not hide what I felt.

My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. "Your boss must be the president of this country. Who goes about making an office this extravagant?"

Although the office wasn't colourful, there were some valuable things there most of which were paintings.

I was fascinated by how majestic the office looked and the strong aura it possessed. I felt like I was trailing the palace of an ancient king only that this king had a modern taste.

"Wow!" I stood on one spot but my eyes were all over the place. This isn't something I get to see every day.

A knock came from the door and Gerard told the person to come in as I looked everywhere.

"Good morning sir. Mr Jarek, they are..." she was still talking when her eyes fell on me.

I waved at her and she nodded then turned back to look at Gerard while I continued my eye tour.

"The peo..." she continued but she was shortly interrupted by a cold voice that cause even me to stop my tour.

"Greet." Gerard's voice was as cold as ice and so was his aura. He looked at her with a brow furrowed and his gaze darkened.

"Sir?" the secretary was not sure that he was talking about since she had already greeted him.

Gerard did not repeat himself but it seemed she already knew what she was supposed to do.

"Oh!" she turned to me and bowed. "Good morning ma."

I was confused for a while but then greeted back. "Good morning ma." I used her words back because I was very sure that she was older than I was.

"This should never repeat itself." Gerard cautioned and she nodded.

"Yes, President Jarek." Immediately that word left her mouth, I turned and gave Gerard a questioning glare but he wasn't looking at me.

"President?" I murmured to myself.

"They are waiting. Should I send them in?" the secretary asked and Gerard nodded.

"In five minutes." was his short answer before going to seat on the office chair.

I blinked twice and wondered what more he was hiding from me. Just then, the devil and angel in my mind returned.

'Did you really think that he was working under someone else with a house like that?' the devil asked and the angel backed her up.

'And a car like that? Come on Ayla. This shouldn't be a surprise to you.'

I almost cried remembering how I asked if his boss would be okay with it. Why didn't he just tell me the truth? 'Aish....'
