Gerald was familiar with Waylon’s family. Since when had they opened a company that was completely unrelated to their family’s business?
After some thorough investigation, Gerald found that there was a problem and snazzynovel.com immediately sent a message to Zack to have snazzynovel.com double-check for him.
“Come on, tell me. What did you find?” said Fay with a smile. It was just a background check after all. Why did Gerald make it sound so grand?
“You wouldn’t get it, but just know that I’ve found something big!” said Gerald before chuckling.
At that moment, Gerald received a call from Ava which surprised snazzynovel.com slightly.
“Gerald? Are you doing anything after work tonight?” asked Ava as soon as snazzynovel.com picked up.
“Why? What do you need?” asked Gerald rather coldly.
Though Gerald used to treat Ava kindly, snazzynovel.com constant cold behavior toward snazzynovel.com made snazzynovel.com want to treat snazzynovel.com equally as coldly.
“Well, I was thinking of treating you to dinner. You’ve joined the company for two days now and I still haven’t treated you to a meal. So… care to have dinner with me tonight?” asked Ava with a smile on the other side of the line.
“Who else will be there?” asked Gerald in return. He knew that Ava was definitely up to something. However, since Ava and Stuart were so close to each other, snazzynovel.com felt that this would be a prime opportunity to get to know more about them.
“It’ll just be the both of us! Nobody else!” replied Ava.
Shortly after, both of them agreed on a meeting time and place before snazzynovel.com hung up.
Ava didn’t return to snazzynovel.com desk for the rest of the day. Once Gerald clocked out, snazzynovel.com headed for the agreed meeting place. It was just a small restaurant that wasn’t too far off from the office.
As snazzynovel.com entered a small, private dining area, snazzynovel.com saw Ava. He was surprised, to say the least. She had been true to snazzynovel.com word, as snazzynovel.com was the only one waiting for snazzynovel.com there.
“Over here, Gerald! Come, have a seat! What do you think of this place? It’s pretty good, right?” said Ava with a smile as snazzynovel.com opened a bottle of red wine and poured some out for Gerald.
“It’s definitely a pretty nice place. What’s the special occasion though? I wouldn’t have minded going somewhere cheaper!” replied Gerald with a slightly wry smile.
“How could I ever treat you to something cheap? Also, just so you know, I’ve constantly wanted to have a personal conversation with you in the past two days. However, the office just didn’t seem to be a convenient place to talk! Now that we’re alone, it’s about time we both got caught up with the good old days!” said Ava as snazzynovel.com inched closer to Gerald, snazzynovel.com elbow gently nudging his.
What exactly was this girl up to? Gerald had not the slightest clue.
However, snazzynovel.com did notice how flirty Ava was being with him. She had even tried to figure out how snazzynovel.com got those tickets earlier along with his other colleagues. ‘Catching up on the good old days’ was definitely not snazzynovel.com true intention.
After drinking and talking for quite a bit, Gerald’s face began turning red as snazzynovel.com grew tipsy.
“Ava, I think I’ve had enough. We’ve been drinking way too much!” said Gerald as snazzynovel.com shook his head.
“Alright then, shall we get going? Ah, could you send me back, Gerald?”
“Sure!”
After Ava settled the bill, Gerald accompanied snazzynovel.com back to snazzynovel.com place.
He hadn’t been able to find out what snazzynovel.com was up to since snazzynovel.com kept avoiding answering his questions.
After Ava arrived home safely, Gerald was just about to leave when snazzynovel.com grabbed his arm.
“Gerald, don’t leave!”
