Chapter 11 - Why Didn't I Ever Notice You?
"Yeah... I am sorry, I didn't tell you about your best friend's wedding!
" George apologized and Valentina nodded her head as she sipped on her coffee.
"It's alright!
" Valentina replied with a brief smile and George nodded his head.
"So, why are you here, Uncle George? What help do you need this time?
" Valentina asked.
"Umm... Not help, but I am here to invite you for a dinner!
" George said reluctantly, and Valentina raised her eyes in shock.
"Dinner? Huh?
" Valentina asked while snickering.
"Yes. Dinner! I want you to invite you for a dinner at Avalanzo Mansion tonight! I want you to have a dinner with us and the newlyweds!
" George answered and Valentina smiled.
"I already invited... Umm... Your Mom too!
" George stuttered, making Valentina angry.
"Uncle George, you know that I don't like my Mom!
" Valentina replied on a verge to yell at him, but Jason kept his hand on her's to calm her down.
George's eyes fell on Jason's hand. George knew that Jason and Valentina were both competitors in business, and best friends outside with Xavier! But still, George didn't like Jason to be with Valentina any way.
"I know, sweetie... But, you know that she is my best friend's wife! We are all family... I want us all to have a good family gathering tonight!
" George said and Valentin rolled her eyes.
"Alright! I will be there tonight... With Jason!
" Valentina replied making them both frown.
"What?
" Jason asked.
"Come with me!
" Valentina stated without any second thought!
"But... It's your family dinner! Why me there, Val?
" Jason asked.
"Exactly, Sweetie...
"
Valentina cut off George in mid-sentence.
"I want Jason to come with me... I, Xavier, and Jason are a very good friends. So, Xavier might be happy if Jason comes too! If he doesn't come to dinner with me tonight then I am not going to come too!
" Valentina answered.
"Umm... Alright then! Please come to dinner tonight with Valentina!
" George said to Jason.
"Umm... Sure, Mr. Avalanzo!
" Jason replied confusingly.
"Good! I will leave now! See you guys tonight!
" George said as he got up from his couch.
"See you, Uncle George!
" Valentina replied as she got up from the couch.
They both hugged, and Jason and George shook their hands. George nodded his head and walked out of Valentina's office.
"HOLY HELL... What was that?
" Jason asked as soon as George closed the door behind his back and Valentina laughed her heart out.
"Did you see his face?
" Valentina asked.
"Did you see how he fumble in front of me? He was so scared this time than any day before!
" Valentina said and Jason chuckled.
"Why were you so rude to him? You would have talked well with him!
" Jason said sternly, and Valentina looked at him.
"Do you really think he invited me tonight because to meet with the so call newlyweds?
" Valentina asked and Jason frowned.
"Isn't it? That's what he said though!
" Jason answered, and again Valentina laughed out loud.
"Don't you know about him?
" Valentina asked tapping his forehead.
"I know... But he sounds so sincere this time!
" Jason answered and Valentina nodded her head.
"Yeah... So sincere! Let's see, How sincere he sounds tonight!
" Valentine said and Jason looked at her.
"What do you mean?
" Jason asked.
"Jason, I am really don't get it why are you still not understanding the intentions of George, even after knowing about him so well!
" Valentina said widening her eyes.
"So, you are telling that George needs something from you... I mean, like any help?
" Jason asked folding his hands on his chest. As he folded his hands and kept his one hand under his chin Valentina looked at him with a smile. Jason lookef so hot in his expensive black suit with his broad shoulder. His suit perfectly fits his body bragging his strong muscles.
"Why didn't I ever notice you? You are damn hot too!
" Valentina said with a wink making Jason's eyes pop out.
"Val!!
" Jason shouted her name confusingly, and Valentina laughed.
"What? I just stated the truth! You look hot, Mr. Jason Aniston!
" Valentina said with a smirk.
"Come on...
"
Valentina cut off Jason in mid-sentence.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend until now?
" Valentina asked as she walked towards him.
Valentine kept her hands on his chest making his collar alright, and Jason raised his eyebrows.
"By any chance, Do you love me?
" Valentina asked making Jason's eyes widened again.
"Huh? What?
" Jason asked as he lightly pushed Valentina away, unable to digest her question.
She giggled, and Jason shook his head.
"Don't worry!
" Valentina said as she turned around and walked towards her desk. She sat on her leather chair and looked up at Jason.
"I was just kidding... I know, You don't love me because you are already with someone else!
" Valentina said making Jason's eyes wide again.
"How in the hell you get to know these things? And why are you so hell adamant about making me scare?
" Jason asked as he walked towards her desk and sat on the corner of it.
"Well... You know that I love scaring you and don't worry, I just know that you are in love, but I still didn't get to know who are you in love with!
" Valentina answered.
"Wow... Just Wow! Are you freaking serious? Whom did you buy in my company with your money? My PA or my manager?
" Jason asked and Valentina laughed.
"I don't have to buy them. Hahaha...!!! Your people are so loyal to you, Jason! No, I didn't buy anyone in your company! Don't worry! And I don't have to buy anyone, when the CEO of the company is the one who is so grateful for me!
" Valentina answered and Jason growled.
"You are unbelievable. Do you know that?
"
"Of course, I do!
" Valentina answered as she flipped hair dramatically making Jason chuckle and Valentina laughed.
"It's been so long since you laughed like this!
" Jason said and Valentina nodded her head.
"I know...
" Valentina replied as she looked into her laptop and Jason could feel her entrapped tears in her eyes.
"Umm... So, we were talking about George!
" Jason said and Valentina looked up at him!
"What still there? Why about HIM to talk?
" Valentina asked in a scornful way, and Jason sighed.
