I will Love You Forever - Chapter 131

Gerard looked at Grace and blinked twice. ‘Where did this old lady get this idea from?’

He sighed and shook his head. “No. She’s just tired.”

“Ah… I see,” she responded and made black coffee for Ayla. Gerard pinched the space between his brow and sighed tiredly.

Soon the coffee was ready and he took it upstairs to Ayla. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Ayla all dressed up and ready to go out.

“Where are you going?” he asked confused and she turned with a smile on her face.

“Oh um… I have an interview today. I have to be there early I want to get the job.” I smiled but Gerard didn’t seem happy at all.

He placed the tray on the table and responded. “You can’t go for the job interview like that. You might get stressed or uncomfortable. What will you do then?” he asked worriedly.

Ayla smiled and tilted her head. “Today is the second day. I’ll be fine,” she responded but he wasn’t buying it.

“No. You can’t go like this. I’ll call Henry and ask him to shift the interview to another day.” he picked up his phone leaving Ayla confused.

“Henry? Who’s that?” she asked confused.

“The CEO of CSG,” he responded without thinking much about it.

Ayla looked at Gerard confused. “Wait… Wait… You know my boss?” she asked staring at him in askance.

Gerard dropped the phone and realized that he was busted. “Boss? Oh, Henry? I don’t really know him. He’s just someone who wants to partner with our company.”

Ayla could see clearly that Gerard probably pulled some strings. She sighed and walked closer to him. “You don’t have to worry about me unless you don’t have faith in my capabilities.” she looked at him seriously.

Gerard pursed his lips and didn’t know what to say to her. She was somewhat right but he didn’t want her to have a hard time and that was why he did what he did.

He dropped his phone and looked at her. “Okay.”

“Promise me you won’t interfere.” I requested and after almost half a day, he nodded.

“I promise.” he didn’t look as though he wanted to make such a promise but she was glad he did and for that, he deserved a reward but that’s going to be when she was done with the forbidden spillage.

“Can I take you?” he asked but she declined his offer.

“Nevermind, I’ll use the bus besides, I already know where the company is located.” she politely declined.

Ayla didn’t want to gain so much attention on the day of her interview and Gerard didn’t have any less expensive car.

They stayed like that for a while staring at each other’s lips, both waiting for the second party to make the first move. Gerard leaned in and kissed her forehead. Ayla was surprised. She thought that he would kiss her lips but he kissed her forehead instead.

“Go now. You wouldn’t want to be late,” he advised and she smiled and went away unwillingly.

Gerard sighed after she was gone. He knew that she wasn’t expecting a kiss on the forehead but he knew for sure that she wouldn’t be able to go for that interview if anything else had happened.

Although she was on her period and he wasn’t the type to do such things at such crucial times, he was positive that he would just lock her up and stare at her all day long making such that she was safe and fine.

Ayla walked out of the gate and out of the estate but she couldn’t stop thinking about why he kissed just her forehead. “Ha!” she scoffed. “You wouldn’t want to be late my foot.” she pouted while waiting for the bus.

Soon, the bus came and it drove straight to her destination. She smiled when she looked up at the gigantic building. This was not half as big as Gerard’s company but it was also massive.

She smiled widely and walked in. She asked the receptionist for directions and she was very polite.

Soon, she got to the place for the interview and there were five other people present as well.

Someone walked up to her and asked, “Are you, Ayla Gregor?”

Ayla nodded and the lady passed her a number. “Please sit over there and wait for your turn.”

“Yes thank you.” I smiled and sat with the other individuals. I looked around with an indifferent expression on my face.

The company was for clothes and accessories but all I could see was the picture of the CEO hanging on the wall.

I sighed and shook my head. ‘That’s not why you’re here.’ I said to myself.

One of the people I sat with was called in and interviewed as I waited patiently for my turn. Everyone seated there was dressed in smart outfits. They looked experienced and would definitely know one or two things about industrial work but I wasn’t a professional tailor. Instead of working, I guess I was here to learn more.

Time went by and finally, I was called in. The office was extra large and it was almost the side of Gerard’s office.

“Good morning, my name is Ayla Gregor.” I greeted and the lady in charge finally raised her head to look at me.

She was a beautiful young lady with elegance and class and for a second, I felt slightly intimidated by her strong aura.

She raised a brow and squinted her eyes. She looked speechless for a second and I couldn’t help but wonder why.

“Maam…” I tried to wake her from her trance and she shook her head then shut her eyes tight like she wanted to wake up.

She opened them and asked, “What did you say your name is again?” she asked and I replied,

“Ayla, Ayla Gregor.”

She furrowed her brow and cleared her throat.. “And why are you here? Did you come here to take me back?” she looked genuinely annoyed but I didn’t know why.
