Chapter 20 - Knight meets Grandpa

It was a lovely morning, Knight was having his breakfast at his apartmeny, he was drinking his coffee with his secretary Louise, he already filed a one day leave from school because Ayesha's Grandfather wanted to meet him.

"Boss, I came here to let you sign this documents not to have a breakfast and coffee with you." Louise said as he sipped at his own cup of coffee.

"Really?! Your word is really contradicting to what you are doing." Knight teased him. Louise just rolled his eyes and handed Knight the brown envelope which contains the important documents that needs Knight's signature.

"I'll sign this later this evening. I will be going to the Gonzales Mansion, the elder Gonzales have arrived last night, he wanted to meet me today. And you will come with me." He said to Louise as he finished his own breakfast and stood up.

"But I have so many things to do in the company, because my Boss which is supposed to be the CEO of a multibillion company has gone mad that he actually left me to manage his company on my own, just to become an English Professor in a prestigious university. I just cannot let those documents piled up, I also want to have some relaxing time Boss so I need to finish them all and besides you also have some meetings to attend but you can't so on your behalf I'll attend them all." Louise whɨnė at Knight. Louise is capable of acting as a deputy CEO because he also came from a very prestigious family in France but he still followed Knight.

"If you accompany me today, I will give you a one day vacation. And I'll go back to the company for one day." Knight proposed to Louise and his secretary immediately agree.

"You wash the dishes, I'll go prepare myself, we will go directly to the Mansion after I'm done." Knight said and made his way to his room. Louise just sighed at how cunning his boss is.

While Knight was already having his morning shower, Ayesha on the other hand is still one with her bed. She is sleeping soundly that she didn't noticed her Grandma and bestfriend looking at her.

"Ayesha darling wake up. We will go to the mall remember." Her Grandma was trying to wake her up but it didn't work.

"Grandma Alicia that is not the proper way to wake Ayesha up" Aria said to Ayesha's Grandma. "This is the proper way to wake her up." Aria went to Ayesha's side and she shouted.

"AYESHAAAAAA WAKE UP." Ayesha immediately woke up and she glared at her best friend.

"You are always ruining my dreams." she lazily said. And looked at her Grandma who was currently shocked of what Aria did, that was not a proper lady should act. But still it was a success, her grand daughter woke up.

"Good morning Grandma, just give me minute and I"ll be ready to go." she said to her Grandma.

Ayesha stood up while her Grandma and Aria went out from her room. She don't want to go but she knew her Grandma would find a way to drag her to the mall. She just went out and took her morning shower.

After Ayesha was done from her routine, she went out from her room and went downstairs.

"Baby Ayeshaaa!! I missed you." Kier immediately hugged Ayesha as soon as she went down from the stairs. Ayesha also give a hug at Kier. "Missed you to Big Brother."

"I've brought Big Brother with me because he will be our driver and also he will bring some of our stuff." Aria said while watching her big brother who was already walking towards the car. His brother just wanted to have sometime with Ayesha even if grandma and her are around.

"Ok let's go, I have already told your Grandpa that we will have some bonding today and he can also do something with Knight." her Grandma said. And they started walking towards the car. Kier ȧssisted Grandma Alicia in getting inside the car. He went inside the driver's seat and started the car's engine, while the three ladies are at the back who are already talking. And off they go to the mall.

While the four of them are on their way to the mall, Knight's car have just entered the Gonzales Mansion's gate.

Knight's car stopped at the main door. When he got off from his car, a servant was waiting for him.

"Young Master Knight, the elder Gonzales is already waiting for you in the garden's pavillion. I will guide you there." the servant said and he started walking, Knight followed him, and Louise was also following Knight. The garden was full of flowers, especially blue and white roses, it was still the same 8 years ago. Memories started flooding in his mind. This was the place were he and Ayesha's brother always spend there time and Ayesha would always start bugging him to also play with her.

"Elder Master, Young Master Knight is already here." the servent said and he guided Knight inside the pavillion. And Louise's was waiting for Knight in the corner.

"You must be Knight?" Ayesha's Grandpa asked in a very serious and strict tone.

"Yes, I am Mr. Gonzales" Knight said politely. He needed the old man's approval so he needs to behave.

"Please to meet you. Have a seat." Grandpa said, his strict and serious voice his still present. He took a sip and looked at Knight.

"Pleased to meet you to Sir." Knight said and he sat down. The servant serve him some tea.

"You must have an idea why I asked you to meet me." Ayesha's Grandpa said.

"Yes Sir." Knight replied.

"I know you knew why I doted on Ayesha so much, ever since her brother died, she became different. The cheerful her was long gone with her brother, and I know my granddaughter still blames herself for her brother's death. That incident was a trauma to her that she even forgot some of her memories and that includes you Knight, I knew that you personally knew Ayesha and her brother eight years ago. She would always call me and her topic would always be you and her brother, I felt that she was always happy whenever you are around. And then also that time I have known that you are the Grandson of my dear old friend, your Grandma Claire. Because your Grandma would always help our family when we are in trouble, I have proposed a marriage alliance to her, that when we have a grand-daughter or grand-son we would pair both of them, and that marriage alliance would be fulfilled through Ayesha and you. I don't have any problem with you Knight because I know you came from a good family and you are also a good child. I just want you to make my granddaughter happy and be there for her whenever she needs someones help. Please be her light because she is still stuck in that dark past." Ayesha's Grandpa said to Knight.

"Don't worry Sir, I will always protect her. I love your grand daughter so much." Knight replied.

"Just drop the Sir and call me Grandpa from now on. I also heard from my son, that you actually became an English professor even though you are already a successful CEO of a multibillion company." Grandpa said with a calm and amaze voice. "Why did you risk your company just to be an English Professor where Ayesha is studying?" Grandpa added.

"I became an English Professor to protect her and also guard her from being stolen away from me. Ever since I have known that she will be my soon-to-be wife, I was so happy that I have decided to risk my company just to be with her even if I disguise myself as her professor. I can risk my company but I cannot risk her, just thinking that other men would court her makes my blood boil. Even if my company would go bankrupt because of my carelessness, I really don't mind because I can still have a my own new company, but there is only one Ayesha in this world, and she is all I need." Knight replied to Ayesha's grandpa.

"This young man is really dedicated to my granddaughter, he would wven sacrifice his company for her. But that multi billion company would impossible to go on the verge of bankruptcy. This young man infront of me is ruthless when it comes to handling his business." the old man thought to himself while looking at the Knight's serious face.

"Very well, I can be at peace knowing that Ayesha's soon-to-be husband is very dedicated to her." Granpa said and the two of them started talking about business. Knight even introduce Louise to Ayesha's Grandpa. The three of them where seriously talking about business, it was indeed a peaceful morning in the Gonzales Mansion.
