"Gaby, are you crazy? We were together for two years and not once did you agree to live with me, not even stay overnight at my place!" Friday swiftly came, but it did not go by that easily, with Warren still pestering Gabrielle about her plans of moving in with her newfound and supposed boyfriend.
After her class that morning, she went straight to returning her keys to the apartment manager and carried down her luggage and other belongings.
She wound up selling or giving away the very little furniture she had since she did not need them in her new and luxurious accommodation.
Both of them were already at the building lobby with Warren still trying to convince Gabrielle how wrong it was for her to live with a new man!
Seeing Gabrielle make her way to a luxury van, Warren called out to her, "What the hell is this, Gaby? Is your boyfriend some kind of a drug lord?"
When she ignored him, Warren walked up to her and grabbed her ar
A day before. "Kyle, son, Miss Taylor had an encounter with her ex at her apartment building, but she easily brushed him off, telling him that she was going to be living with her... new boyfriend," reported Hank over the phone, the driver that aided Gabrielle move to The Second Diamond Hotel. Hank, in his early forties, had found a home in the Wright's and had been working for them for ten years. He considered Kyle as his second son. He was fully aware that Kyle had not had a girlfriend since, and even he had become concerned about the fact that the great CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation was not interested in women. Thankfully, Gabrielle Taylor came along, and Hank was happy to support Kyle in his pursuit. From his office, Kyle held his phone up with pride. He turned to his city view at the side of his space and expressed a smirk. He thought there was no way one Warren Foster can win against him! "Thank you, Hank, for br
Gabrielle had never felt too uneasy in her life. How could she not? She was having breakfast with one of the most powerful men in the city! The worse part was how the man's physical attributes were completely distracting! She was certain that looking at Kyle was more appetizing than her pan-fried pork chop! After agreeing to join Kyle for dinner, she started with her breakfast, first munching on apple slices before eating her scrambled eggs. Most often, she would look down, averting his gaze but would secretly steal glances at his incredibly sexy jaws! Yep! And it wasn't just the jaws. The man's Adam's Apple was calling out to her, the shape of his arms, up to his solid chest; all of them were just tempting her to stare! 'Damn!' She thought silently. 'God sure took time to make him!' While she resumed her meal and occasionally ogled at Kyle, she heard him ask, "I heard you had trouble with someone yesterday? Hank told me."
The doorbell rang while Gabrielle arranged the plates and utensils inside the large tray. She soon opened the door, finding a female hotel staff holding Kyle’s suit. “Mr. Wright’s attire for today,” said a woman in her late twenties. She smiled while extending the garment to Gabrielle and said, “So you must be the new penthouse attendant. I'm surprised that you are a female.” Gabrielle did not know what to think of that. She let out a puzzled expression and answered, “Um. I guess I must be lucky?" Grabbing the suit, she said, “Do you mind taking out the dishes?” “Sure… I’m Alex, by the way. I’m the front office supervisor on the day shift. It’s nice to meet you, Miss Taylor,” the lady spoke. Gabrielle was shocked, to say the least. She wondered how the person knew her name, but Alex explained before she could ask, “You are an instant celebrity, having to live with Mr. Wright... You see, the boss never lets a girl get close to him except for his family... At least… not that I know
Kyle: [I’ll pick you up at six in the evening.] At one in the afternoon, Gabrielle received a text from Kyle. She had just taken her lunch and how she had to worry about what to wear. She was about to head to her room when she heard the doorbell rang. When she opened it, she was stunned to see the same front desk supervisor at the door. “Miss Taylor, Mr. Wright had asked to give you this package.” There was a teasing grin on Alex’s face that Gabrielle gawked at the huge box she was holding. “What’s this?” Gabrielle asked. Alex raised both her shoulders, suggesting she had no idea. “Beats me! It was the family driver who left it at the front desk.” Gabrielle accepted the sizable box in her arms and carried it to the living room. She saw the note, and it read: [Since I invited you for dinner, it’s my responsibility to give you something to wear. Kyle.] Her eyes widened and her lips pursed while reading the note. She immed
The restaurant by the harbor had a perfect view of the docking boats, the gleaming bay, and night skies. It was located on the 30th floor of a commercial complex, sitting a block away from the docks. Many guests were in line to have dinner at the said restaurant, but Kyle, being the CEO of the franchise, was assisted through a secluded area, offering a perfect and romantic view of the bay. And to further ensure their privacy, all the surrounding tables were emptied, just for Kyle and Gabriel's supposed test dinner. So far, the experience left Gabrielle impressed, feeling like she was on an actual date. "Wow, the lobster looks so delicious!" While Gabrielle expressed excitement about that evening's main dish at the back of her head, she was truly worried. Warren rarely took her to a fine dining restaurant, and she absolutely had not experienced eating a lobster with a knife and a fork! So far,
Gabrielle laughed at the idea of considering their dinner as a "date." She thought to dismiss it, thinking Kyle was just creating a venue for a laugh. She said while feeling her face warm, "Sure, Kyle. Anything you say. You definitely get a hundred points!" "Hmmm," Kyle responded. "I take that seriously." "The restaurant is amazing!" Gabrielle announced. It was her way to move away from the topic, feeling embarrassed. The two shared a few more exchanges, talking about the restaurant, but soon Kyle pardoned himself, leaving Gabrielle in her seat. "Excuse me, Gaby. I just need to check on the kitchen, as well as with the restaurant manager." While waiting, Gabrielle took pictures of the harbor view. She especially took some selfies as she was at it. An idea suddenly crept into her mind, watching the romantic atmosphere in her photo background. She bit her lip and eagerly uploaded the picture to her social media account and the photo availa
The next day. The sound of the alarm woke Gabrielle up at five in the morning. She got up hurriedly, despite how heavy her eyes were. Last night, after a moment of getting cold shoulders from Kyle, he told her; he had an emergency business trip to Europe and that he was leaving at dawn. While Kyle insisted that she did not have to aid him, she took it upon herself to get up. She was grateful for her newfound employment and she wanted to help in any way. Rushing out, however, she saw a note on her door from Kyle and it read: [Gaby, Sorry about last night. I wasn't myself. I had to head out earlier. I'll be back on Friday. Don't forget to eat your meals. Rest and make use of the gym. I'll call you when I get a chance. Kyle] Her mouth easily formed into a circle. She bit her finger before saying, "Why does it sound like he was leaving a note to his girlfriend?" Gabrielle quickly shoo
Kyle hated the unplanned trip to Europe. He was just getting to know Gabrielle - hired her and took her to his home! He would have had an entire Sunday of just the two of them, inside his own private place. It was because his brother-in-law, Andrew Kentworthy, informed him last minute of a potential prime lot that has become available to the market, and the owner had already received bids! It had been years since Kyle had been planning to build a hotel in England, belonging to the Diamond Brand. Now, it will finally be realized thanks to his twin sister's husband. Aside from that, he had other reasons for meeting his brother-in-law. Andrew Kentworthy owned one of the biggest entertainment companies in England. While he may not have established his enterprise in Braeton City, he certainly had ties, one that could open doors for Gabrielle. If anything, Kyle wanted Gabrielle to get an instant break in her career, and Andre
