Chapter 105: She Is No Ordinary Girl!

On the next two days that Aryana stayed in the hospital, she visited Gram Ham everyday. She would come in the morning after Erik left.

Gram Ham was an engineer and he personally designed a few of the rides of Galaxy Amusement Park. He showed some of his drafts to Aryana and Aryana provided her feedback coming from the perspective of an avid fan of amusement park rides.

On the day of her discharge, she visited Gram Ham again.

"Mister Ham, I will be discharged today so I cannot visit you anymore. Take care of yourself." She said gently.

"Can you stop calling me Mister Ham. Just call me Gram or if you want you can call me Uncle."

"I’ll call you Uncle Gram, then." Aryana did not want to argue about such trivial matter.

She was just about to leave when Carl entered the ward with a bag of food takeout.

"Aryana, what a coincidence! Since you are here, can you join us for breakfast?" Carl asked her expectantly.

"I am just about to leave actually and I had already my breakfast. Thank you for asking." She said while preparing to leave.

"I have something for you." He passed her a blue folder. "You can study it later."

"What is this? " Aryana did not wait for him to finish. She cut him.

"It’s an exclusive modeling contract for Galaxy Entertainment." Carl explained. Gram Ham started eating like their conversation has nothing to do with him.

"But, I am happy with the current contract." She protested.

"Aryana, you don’t know what you are missing. You have great potential. Do not limit yourself. Don’t you want to become famous and successful?"

’Of course, I want to be famous and successful. Who didn’t want that? I want to be worthy of Erik.’ Aryana was lost in her thoughts for a few moments. Carl thought she was thinking about what he said.

"Take time to study it. There is no need to rush. I’ll ask my secretary to schedule a meeting with you in a week’s time." He stuffed the folder in her hand.

Aryana realized that her meeting Carl at the hospital that day was not a coincidence at all. She said goodbye to the two of them and left the ward still troubled about Carl’s proposal.

"What do you like about her Dad? She is very beautiful, that is a given, but there are other beautiful women out there. Her background is very ordinary. She is the daughter of Erik’s driver and Erik was like her official guardian."

"You don’t know how to investigate. You only look at the surface." Gram Ham snorted.

"What do you mean Dad? Did you also investigated her?" Carl asked.

"She is no ordinary girl but a rare treasure. Do not lose her."

"What did you find out about her?"

"Nothing. It just my hunch. But my intuition is always right."

...

On Monday, Aryana reported to office early. She was surprised to find a single rose on her table. She checked the card. ’To brighten up your day’ then there is letter C underneath.

She took the flower and brought it to Camille’s table.

"You can keep this. I have allergic rhinitis."

"And who is this admirer of yours?" Camille asked curiously. Aryana just shrugged her shoulders.

She went to the pantry to prepare coffee for Erik. Even when Camille was already back she still continued to prepare coffee for Erik.

When she entered Erik’s office, she was surprised to find Cassie there. She was dressed in a simple white dress and she wore a light make up. Her long hair was hanging freely on her shoulders.

She was showing something inside a box to Erik and Erik murmured ’Thank you.’

"Oh Hi Aryana. I have an appointment with Julia but it was too early so I decided to drop by here and give Erik these pastries I baked yesterday. You can have a box too. This is perfect for coffee."

Aryana greeted her politely then she placed the coffee beside Erik. There is still five minutes before her meeting with Erik.

"Oh by the way, that flower looked really pretty. I thought it was Camille’s but Camille said it was yours. You just gave it to her becauss you have allergic rhinitis. But that rose is pretty expensive. A single stem costs over 5,000. Your admirer must be pretty rich." Cassie said casually.

Erik looked at Aryana and frowned. Aryana gritted her teeth. Cassie was blabbering on purpose.

"Miss Lopez, I am sorry but the boss has a meeting in two minutes." Aryana said in a professional tone.

Cassie looked embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red. Her blush made her more beautiful.

She turned to Erik and said. "I am sorry. I’ll leave now. Let me know if you like the pastries Erik. It is from my old recipe." She insinuated that it was his favorite.

Erik glanced at her gently and nodded. Cassie left gracefully. There was a smug smile on her face.

"Try this." He took out the cookie from the box and gave it to Aryana. He took out another one and popped into his mouth. A familiar flavor filled his palate. He took out another one and eat it. It was his favorite.

"Looks like that it is really your favorite." Aryana tried to sound casual.

Erik took another cookie. He dipped it in his coffee and put it in his mouth. Then without warning he pulled Aryana and kissed her on the lips.

"See, your kiss made the cookie tastes even better."

He kissed her again, but this time the kiss was punishing.

"This is your punishment for accepting flowers from someone under your husband’s nose." His voice was cold.

"I did not! It is already there when I arrived. Besides I gave the flower to Camille!" She defended.

While Erik and Aryana was discussing about project updates, Erik took out more cookies and eat them.

"What are you doing?"

"Eating."

"Stop eating. Don’t you know how much butter and sugar were used in these cookies. Two or three is enough. Too much is harmful for your health."

Aryana took the remaining two boxes and went out of the room. She gave one box to Camille and the other one to Marlon.

Erik was grinning when she came back.

"What’s with that smile?"

"My wife cares for me. That’s why."
