Planning Ahead

Little did Belle know that the hotel she was staying in was owned by Jay. He owned multiple businesses and hotels were one of it. Shiela was the Marketing Vice President for The Pierre Point Group. Her family and Jay's family were business partners and they both were descending down the family business.

They both had originated from San Francisco but they both picked Paris as their first land of investment. Pierre De Point was the first hotel she and Jay built together. The first project both of them worked on. It was the start of their career.

Their fathers had told them that both of them would be given $1million each and if they could build a sustainable and successful business out of it, they wouldn't have to get married to each other. But if they failed, they would have to get married. Their parents had hoped that Jay and Shiela would date and tie the knot but the two of them became best of friends instead of lovers. Jay and Shiela took up the challenge and proved their parents wrong. From that day onwards, their parents never forced the both of them to do anything they dislike and respected their decision.

Shiela smiled and whipped out the phone. She made arrangements and checked Belle out of the hotel. Within 2 hours, all of Belle's luggage was brought to Jay's residence.

Shiela kept herself busy and helped Belle to unpack while Jay and Dr. Percy sat by the balcony with a beer in their hands.

"Thank you Dr. Percy. If it wasn't for you, I would have another media issue". Dr. Percy gulped down his beer and looked at Jay, "No problem bro. But why do you keep calling me Dr. Percy instead of Percy?"

"That is because you have a PhD. I don't have any other friends with PhD except for you! You are my only friend that I can call Dr!" With that both of them started laughing.

"So, when are you going to tell Belle what actually happened?"

"I do not know. Words can't come out yet but I do know that I want to spend time with her". Jay smiled to himself and started thinking to himself "She said she is here on holiday. I will clear my schedule and show her around. When the time is right I will tell her".

With that, Jay started planning the itinerary for the next few days.
