Grandpa's Choice Wife
GPA CHAPTER XXVII - Planned -

"sickness", though",

Ayud squeezed his wrist which felt somewhat cramped. The man paced back and forth in his office, occasionally glancing out the window. Manager Huang stood nearby, watching the behavior of the master.

"Huang, try to find information about Albert's company. Find out all the assets they have. I'm so curious, how rich is that man".

Ayud bit his lip while playing the window sills,

"I also want to know about Rachel. How could he work in the man's company".

Manager Huang nodded,

"Good, sir".

The man again massaged his painful wrist. He mumbled slowly,

"I had to make him quit that company".

Moments later, Ayud seemed to dissolve in his busy life. When it was almost lunchtime, he got a call from one of the Mayora Enterprise employees to discuss about their project.

"Seek Rachel's secretary who is the representative of Mayora Enterprise".

He said to the caller across there. The man seemed to smile meaningfully. Shortly thereafter, he tidied up his desk. Then, immediately go to their promised place.

Along the way the man kept smiling. Manager Huang who saw him was a little surprised, but did not dare to ask anything.

...Ayud...

I may have failed to make that woman completely mine. However, this time I will make sure it will not happen again. I want to show him that I'm not the useless guy I used to be.

I've changed and of course my change is a little motivated by him. If only Grandpa were here at this time. He would be so proud to see me now.

This loss is so heavy. But I still have to stand tall for the sake of my grandfather's company, and for the fate of the thousands of employees who work for me.

From a distance I saw the woman walking gracefully while carrying some blue dossiers in her hands. How beautiful she is. If only I had realized that earlier, before all this loss.

...Ayud POV End's...

Rachel walked quickly to meet the man. His knees were trembling many times, like they were about to slip out of place. Many times in his salivary swallow, with great difficulty.

The man looked very calm. He sat in his chair, folding his hands to his chest. His charm was able to destroy the great preparation Rachel had done. The girl extended her hand,

"Good day sir, I'm coming to represent the Mayora Enterprise".

The man welcomed the woman's hand, and,

"All right, please sit down".

He looked at the woman's face, and sipped the coffee in front of her. The woman's red-coloured face was completely natural. She looks so pretty.

"Please order the food you want".

Ayud opened the conversation after they were both silent for a moment. The girl smiled, though,

"Thank you sir. But I again don't want to drink anything for now".

The man took a serious look at the files Rachel was carrying, and,

"Who compiled these files?".

He asked her a moment after noticing how neat the file was arranged. Rachel smiled, though,

"It just so happened to be me sir. Please look around first, then tell me the parts that need to be repaired".

Ayud put the file on the table, and went back to sipping his drink.

"No, I believe in you. Surely your job is very good, so you can work in a company as big as Mayora Enterprise?".

The girl tried her hardest not to look shaky. Very clearly, this man in front of him was trying to demean her.

"Thank you if you judge me that way. Please read well about the cooperation we will do this sir".

The girl paused for a moment, swallowing her saliva with great difficulty.

"After my return from here, of course my boss did not receive complaints in any form. Because that means, you agree to the rules listed in this file".

Ayud took a breath, this girl in front of him really looks professional.

"Alright, assume I agree to all the rules listed here. And can't we just mess this up again?".

He tapped on the file that Rachel had brought, though,

"For God's sake, can we discuss things other than this boring job?".

Rachel looked surprised,

"You mean sir?".

The man smiled, though,

"Tell me about yourself. What's happened to you all this time, why did you get to work for Albert's company".

Rachel tidied up the messy files on the table and stood up,

Rachel stepped on her feet and stopped when she remembered something,

"How's grandpa doing?. Is he okay?".

Ayud chuckled amusedly,

"Sit down first. Let's talk as fellow friends".

There was no other choice for Rachel than to accept the man's request. Ayud went back to sipping his coffee. He breathed in annoyance, when he realized his coffee was so quickly gone.

"Grandfather is calm in nature. He left right after 2 months you left home".

Rachel gasped, she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"What's?. Tell me I heard wrong".

Ayud. His handsome face suddenly turned sad.

"Yes, my grandfather is dead. Before he died, he was eager to see you. However, I can't contact you at all".

The girl felt weak, her knees shaking. Tears just flowed from her pretty face. He really did not expect, the good old man was gone.

"Cannot be. Grandpa promised to take good care of his health. I even asked him to live well. Why did Grandpa lie to me?".

The fact that his grandfather had died, really took him by storm. There were so many things he had not done to make his grandfather happy.

"How long have you been working at Albert's company?".

Rachel was stunned,

"What's?".

Ayud smiled, he regretted why only now he realized how sweet this girl who was now in front of him was. He called the waiter and ordered coffee. Ayud repeated his question,

"How long have you been working at Albert's company?".

Rachel brutely wiped her tears that never stopped,

"Why are you asking that?. Does it matter to you sir?".

Ayud knocked on the table in front of him,

"Stop from there. My company is quite big, you can definitely work well".

Rachel was caught off guard, this man seemed to hold her control firmly. He set his breath,

"Sorry sir, I've worked very well in my current place. Besides, didn't we promise not to bother each other?".

Ayud sipped the coffee that had just been delivered by the waiter. The man nodded slowly, as the hot water touched his lips.

So hate me, Ra?".

Rachel turned her eyes, though,

"I think our business is done sir. Excuse me first. Oh yes, I assume you have agreed to everything written in this file. I'll make a report immediately, once I get to the office".

Ayud sipped his coffee slowly, and,

"All right, but we'll see you again as soon as possible. I can confirm that".

The girl snorted in annoyance, then stepped away from Ayud who seemed to be enjoying his coffee.

After the girl left, Ayud called the waiter who had brought him coffee. He scolded the waiter, though,

"What is this coffee?"

The waiter stuttered,

"Sorry sir, it's the exact same coffee you ordered earlier. Is there a problem, sir?".

The waiter asked carefully. Ayud placed the coffee cup, roughly on the table.

"Nothing, except it's very hot. Intend to kill me?".

He left the place and the servants could only look at each other. One of them is slapping,

"Isn't it natural that freshly cooked coffee will be hot like this? What's wrong?".

Meanwhile, Ayud and Manager Huang boarded the car to the office.

"Honey, have you found what I told you?".

Manager Huang nodded,

"Already sir. I've collected all the data you need here".

Ayud took the file given by manager Huang, and focused on reading it.
