Chapter 70: Wedding Of The Year 2

The photoshoot continued in the afternoon where the groom and bride showcased the Honeymoon Suite of Bay Gardens.

Erik carried Aryana from the elevator to the bridal chamber. They showcased the lavishly decorated bed with all the petals spread on the bed creating a romantic vibe.

Aryana changed into swimwear as they needed to showcase the big bathtub. She went inside the bathtub. The only visible part of her body was from the upper chest and up. She blew bubbles toward her groom who was sitting on the edge of the tub and looking at her lovingly.

"Everyone, we can wrap up now. This definitely will be another hit. Thank you so much for your time today Mr. President." The director slightly bowed and clasped his hands to show his sincere gratitude.

"No worries. It is for the company after all." Erik was back to his CEO demeanor.

"Director, someone leaked a photo of the photo shoot earlier. It has gone viral." The assistant director passed his cell phone to the director.

Marlon also passed his cell phone to Erik with a naughty smile on his face.

"You looked completely the opposite of yourself here Boss! What a handsome groom. I am pretty sure you’ll earn millions of female fans these next few days." Marlon joked but he frowned when he thought of something. "You should double your bodyguards."

Erik just glanced at him. "Take care of the aftermath. Also, tell the director to treat the entire crew to dinner at the Fusion Buffet."

"Hmp, back to his old self," Marlon grumbled silently.

Erik went back to the bridal chamber. Aryana has already changed back to her dress in the morning. Erik pulled her into a corner.

"Yana, don’t accept these kinds of endorsements in the future. You can be a spokesperson for makeup brands or jewelry. I don’t like you to have intimate photos with male models. I get jealous easily."

Aryana looked at Erik. She nodded and replied. "Okay, I will tell Amy about that."

"Come, let’s join the rest of the crew at the Fusion buffet. Everyone worked hard and deserved a treat."

...

Bay Gardens Residences has a commercial area where the Fusion Buffet restaurant was located. It redefines interactive dining where secret recipes of master chefs from around the world were masterfully prepared right in front of the diners.

The crew was delighted to have such an experience. "We are so lucky today. We get to work closely with the CEO and get rewarded for this once-in-a-lifetime dining experience." A cameraman said.

"You are right. A meal here costs more than a month’s salary." The makeup artist added.

Erik, Aryana, and Marlon joined the table where Director Vito was dining.

"President, as you know, a photo was leaked by one of the crew. It is creating good publicity and the netizens are becoming more curious. Do we delete the photo? There are now over 100,000 shares and over a million likes."

"Boss, the manager of PR is on the line." Marlon passed his cell phone to Erik.

"Don’t do anything. Let’s just wait for the entire commercial to be released in three days’ time." Erik said tersely. He returned the phone to Marlon.

Director Vito glanced at his editor nervously. That was a direct order from the CEO. They needed to complete post-production in three days. He swallowed hard. So he needed to start working after dinner. No wonder, they were treated to such a sumptuous meal.

...

Erik and Aryana left Fusion Buffet early and went back to their penthouse. They were both tired and went early to bed.

The following morning, Aryana woke up and prepared early. She told Erik that she will go down ahead of him to prepare for the meeting at 9:00 am.

When Aryana entered the office, she was greeted by whistles and praises from her colleagues. She just smiled warmly at them and thanked them for their praises.

When she arrived at the lounge at the CEO’s office, she was greeted by a hostile gaze from Josie. Aryana ignored her.

"How dare you ignore me? You are turning arrogant now after such a small success ha?" Josie fretted.

Aryana checked Erik’s appointment. "Ms. Fejas, the CEO is meeting an important client at 9:00 am. You don’t have an appointment with him. Please excuse me. I need to prepare the materials for the meeting." Aryana passed by Josie and entered Erik’s office.

Josie threw daggers at her back. She was totally pissed off and her blood was boiling. ’What is she good about that slut? How could she bewitch Erik? She can’t be with Erik. Erik can only be mine." Josie sneered as an evil thought came to her mind.

At 8:45 am, Erik entered the meeting room. He was a respected CEO and he treated his office with utmost professionalism. Aryana respected him for that.

Mr. Gram Ham, his legal team, and his secretary arrived at exactly 9:00 am.

Aryana served them coffee and after some discussion, both parties signed the contract.

"Erik, you need to bring your best engineers for a visit to Europe. A few rides of The Galaxy Theme park will get inspiration from the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pizza, and a few other historical landmarks. It will be an important first step for the project."

"I understand Mr. Gram." He turned to Aryana and said. "Schedule a meeting with Marlon and the head of the engineering team at 11:00 am. Check if you can book a flight for a European tour in the next weeks."

Aryana nodded and started typing on her laptop. She still has to get herself used to talk to her cold and aloof boss who barked orders at her like she was just a typical secretary and not his wife.

After the meeting with the engineering team, Aryana managed to book a two-city tour for the next two weeks for the four people on the engineering team plus the three of them, Erik, Marlon, and her.
