STAY NEXT TO HIM

"Isn't that chef Geva?" A woman's scream was heard when they arrived at the lobby of the Carl's Company. "You get in the car first! Let me handle them." Luke said to his best friend. At a time like this Luke's help was desperately needed. Geva quickened his pace towards the car because he was getting more and more anxious about being in the crowd.

Luke must have dominated the situation and faced Gevariel's fans. Luke often handled things like this and it made Luke know what he had to do to please the fans.

"We are sorry. Mr. Geva is not feeling well. He doesn't want to infect you. This morning he was coughing and it's a contagious virus. Maybe because the weather is not friendly." Luke got an idea quickly and gave an excuse that would make fans understand Gevariel's condition.

"Yeah… truly we want to ask for his autograph because we are his fans." one of the group of women said in disappointment. "But it's okay. We can understand because we are fans." She continued her answer.

"He's really sorry but if it's for an autograph, I'll ask him to give it to all of you. Which one should Geva sign?" Luke asked. He hoped that his reasoning did not disappoint the fans in front of him.

Even though they wanted to meet face to face, the women had to surrender. Indeed, rumor has spread a lot that Geva was an arrogant man because he never made a meet and greet event for his fans. He always avoided fans for various reasons but it was difficult to hate him.

Even so, women still go crazy over him and that's the reason Luke called the Gevariel fans a club of fools. Apart from Geva's handsome stature, Gevariel's charm when cooking would add to his sexiness in the eyes of women.

Luke received many handkerchiefs, books, bags, and some were even willing to open their blazers just to get autographs and signs of love there.

Luke smiled kindly at them. Luke grumbled inwardly but he could not ignore the stupid women.

"I will be right back." Luke carried all the stuff to the car.

" Sign it and give it a heart! At least the fans know that you love them." Luke commanded his friend. Almost every time they came out, they would face the same situation.

Geva did not mind doing that. Actually he wanted to say hello to his fans but he would only embarrass himself if he fainted in front of them. Gevariel drew hearts and words of thanks on the stuff of his fans.

Luke returned to the lobby of the Carls Company office. "All of your belongings are here. Sorry if you haven't been able to meet Mr. Geva." Luke put all that stuff on the red sofa that was there. There's no way Luke could share them one by one because he did not remember who left the items with him.

From a distance Quineera watched everything. "Why didn't Max ever tell me about Geva's weird personality?" Quin wondered. Seeing Luke coming out from her office, she got back into the elevator and went up to her room.

Arriving at her room, Quin immediately approached Katty. There was no Max because the man had his own room and he must be busy with his work. The two assistants had the same workspace, but Katty was more often in Quin's private room because her boss always needed her all day long.

"Please rent an apartment next to Gevariel. I want to live close to him." Quin's order made her assistant frown in confusion.

"What are you living in an apartment for?" Katty did not understand what her boss's plan was.

"I have to change the way a little bit to carry out my plan. The man is not easy to approach. I have to stay close to him." Quin's words were immediately answered by Max who had just entered.

"I will handle everything but Katty has to keep an eye on you." Max's words made Quineera happy.

"Is it true that you allow me to live alone?" Quinn asked with sparkling eyes. She did not expect that she would get permission from such a strict assistant. Usually Max would ask a lot of why, what, who, and so on, but this time without a question mark Max gave his blessing like a father who let his daughter marry another man.

"Thank you, Max." Quineera rushed into Max's arms. In front of the two people, Quin could be fickle. Sometimes she was serious but sometimes she showed her true nature which was often lonely.

Max gave a smile when Quin hugged him. Max and his little sister have treated Quin like a younger sibling.

***

It did not take long. Three days later, the rental process for the apartment next to Gevariel was complete. Quin had deliberately rented because she would not be staying in that place for long. She was sure Gevariel would soon fall in love with her. When it happened, she would leave Gevariel without saying goodbye.

"Are you sure you want to live alone? There's always been a maid or me accompanying you." Katy asked. The woman was very worried about Quineera. When Quin studied at Oxford university and had to live in an apartment, Katty also moved into the apartment not far from campus. The decision to live alone was a reckless decision according to Katty.

"It's okay, Kat. Even if I live alone, your brother will not stop watching over me." Quinn said while patting the adult woman's shoulder. Sometimes Quin treated her as a subordinate, sometimes she treated her as a big sister.

"What if Uncle Deon and Aunt Jessy visit your house? They will definitely ask where you are." Katty had other worries while Quin did not think about it.

"Just tell them that I'm outside. When they come home I'll be right home." Quin deliberately did not announce her move. She did not have a good reason if her uncle asked her why.

"Okay." Katty answered in a deep voice. She really did not want the 25 year old woman to live alone without a maid or her but Katty could not do anything about it.
