80 FLASHBACK - Wooing his Woman

Cyril went back home and immediately started googling ways to woo a woman....

'15 ways of wooing a woman - by Antonio'

1) Gift her flowers! Girls love flowers!!!

2) Give her sloppy kisses! Some hugs as well!

3) Gift her teddy bears and some chocolates!

....

...

15) Give her jewelry! Every women loves them!!

Cyril was curious about who this Antonio exactly was, who spoke about how to woo a woman so easily. After a bit of research he immediately shut down his laptop and called his assistant, Yu Wang instead. Turned out, this Antonio was a small time writer, who had three divorces in the past six years. 'What was that? Was he playing an average-average game? Giving two years to each woman? How could he even find love in such a short amount of time?'

Cyril was already the CEO of the top most company in Japan, The Sou Group, but he didn't want to use his influence to win over Kate. He wanted to show her how genuinely he loved her.

He called his assistant. After only a single ring, his assistant picked up.

"Yes President?"

"Wang, where are you?"

"Umm.. president I'm at home. Do you need something?"

Cyril actually forgot that he had given him a holiday since he was in a good mood for the past days.

"Nothing. I just want to ask you, what would a woman like as a gift?"

Wang was immediately speechless. He looked at his call log again and again to confirm whether it was his president calling him or it was some other call that he accidentally mistook as the president.

Not sure of what he heard he asked him again.

"Umm.. President, I think I misheard you. Could you please repeat?"

"How do you woo a woman?"

This time Cyril said everything directly. Though Wang knew his boss' love for some girl he had met when he was 17 years old, but hearing something like that still made him feel as if he was hallucinating.

When Cyril did not get any response from his side he immediately snapped at Wang.

"Wang! Your month end bonus is cut!"

Wang immediately came back to his senses but he was a little too late.

"President!!! I am really sorry!!! There was a signal issue! I couldn't hear you!! Please don't cut my month end bonus!"

"Oh yeah? Then Wang, could you kindly explain why I could hear the television in the background?"

Wang - "..."

'President, your are too smart. No wonder people are scared of you' he thought to himself.

"Right! President! You wanted to know how to woo a woman right!! I have some brilliant ideas!" Wang immediately changed his strategy. If he could please the President with his ideas he might get his bonus back! In fact he might even get a bonus raise!!

"You can buy the woman flowers! A lot of flowers!! How about roses!? Red, pink, white, yellow!? I think yellow would be the best!! I personally believe Madam President would be as vibrant and cheerful and lovely as a pretty yellow rose! So they would define her itself!!"

Wang immediately jumped over to Kate's boat without even meeting her once. He knew his boss. As long as he jumped onto the Madam President's boat, the President himself would try to fix his boat.

And just as he expected.....

"Hmm... I like your views. Good. You can collect your monthly bonus as usual. Speak to the finance department and tell them I have told them to give you a raise of twenty percent."

This time, Wang did not phase out. Instead he immediately replied - "President! Not only that! I think you should give it to her in the most romantic way. Probably flooding her room with the flowers! A Sea of Flowers!! How touched would she be!!? I think I need to get my special occasion suit out, to come to your wedding party!!!"

Cyril was immediately happy. He even grinned like a little boy, when he thought of marrying Kate.

"Wang?"

"Yes President!?"

"Make them raise it to fifty. If any problem happens you can directly talk to me. Bye."

Cyril was hopping in his house like a bunny, dreaming about how Kate would look in a wedding dress. He would design her dress himself. He would make her look like a angel who landed on Earth from heaven. He couldn't control his excitement.

While on the other side......

'Hahaha... I am so smart! In future I need to take sides of the Madam President!' Wang thought.

Thankfully he changed his strategy in time, or else he would have lost his month end bonus. But now, not only was he getting his month end bonus, he was also getting a fifty percent increase!!!!!! He couldn't control his happiness as well. He thanked his stars for making him this smart.

Cyril immediately ordered someone on the phone to bring fresh yellow roses all the way from Italy. The next morning they were immediately delivered to him. From there he ordered his men to take them to Kate's apartment immediately. He already knew where she lived.

Since it was early morning, and her university classes began in the afternoon, she slept off longer than usual.

He ringed the door bell, and after a while, a sleepy Kate opened the door. Though she had just woken up, she looked beautiful. Her hair was open and a bit disheveled, her eyelids were continuously fluttering like a butterfly and she was tousling her hair. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Cyril standing at the door with a bouquet of yellow roses. Behind them also stood five more men, whom she didn't recognize, holding a lot of yellow roses. She looked at him questioningly.

"Good Morning Beautiful." Said Cyril and bent a bit and gave Kate a forehead kiss.

Kate stood there and instinctively touched the part of her forehead where Cyril had kissed. Seeing her in a daze, Cyril chuckled and ordered his men to keep the flowers inside the room. They did as they were told and then immediately left, leaving Cyril and Kate behind.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" asked Cyril with a bright smile on his face.
