Chapter 10 - George!
"Excuse me, Ms. Jackson!" Valentina's Secretary called as she opened her office door.
Valentina looked up from her laptop.
??"Yes, come in!" Valentina said, and got busy in her laptop.
Her Secretary walked inside and stood in front of her table.
"Yes?" Valentina asked while working on her laptop.
"Ms. Jackson... Mr. Avalanzo is here!" Tania said, and Valentina looked up at her.
"Xavier is again here?" Valentina asked raising her eyebrows.
"No... not Mr. Xavier. Mr. George is here." Tania answered.
"Why is he here?" Valentina asked.
"It seems he wants to talk to you about something very serious!" Tania answered.
"About?" Valentina asked curiously.
"He is saying Personal!" Tania answered.
"Alright! Let him come inside!" Valentina said, and Tania nodded.
Tania walked outside closing the door, and Valentina frowned on why George was there.
"There is something fishy! He wouldn't have been if there was nothing serious!" Valentina murmured to herself, and just then there was a knock on her door.
"Come in!" Valentina said and George opened the door.
"Ohh... Uncle George!" Valentina said as she got up from her chair.
George walked inside and closed the door at his back.
"How are you, sweetie?" George asked with a smile on his face.
"Good, Uncle George! How about you?" Valentina asked.
"Good, Honey!" George answered.
"Please have a seat!" said Valentina, and George nodded sitting on the couch.
Valentina smiled and walked towards the intercom. She told her PA to bring two coffee, and walked towards the couch.
"So, Uncle George...After so long? Something very serious? What help you need at this time?" Valentina asked with a smirk and George gulped down as he knew very well what Valentina was capable doing of!
"Umm... Sweetie..." George stuttered.
"Just come to the point, Uncle George. You know very well, I like to talk straightforwardly without beating around the bush, right?" Valentina said sternly, and George nodded his head.
"Yeah..." George answered and Valentina nodded with a brief smile, but George knew that Valentina was a woman who could bend a Billionaire's knees with her mind games.
"So?" Valentina asked.
"Umm... So..."
George was cut off in the mid-sentence with a knock on the door.
"Come in." Valentina said and Tania walked inside with the coffee.
"Please have it!" Valentina said and George nodded.
"Ms. Jackson, Mr. Jason is here to meet you!", informed Tania.
"Tania, How many times I told you that Jason doesn't need any permission to meet me? Just let him in directly! If it's repeated, you will be fired! Do you understand, sweetie?" Valentine conveyed straightly with a smile.
"Ye... Yes, Ms. Jackson!" Tania answered, scratching her head in nervousness.
"And... Don't stutter again! You know that I don't like people who stutter, right?" Valentina said with a smile looking at George and he gulped the saliva down his throat!
"Yes, Ms. Jackson!" Tania answered.
"Good. Leave now and let Jason in!" Valentina said and Tania nodded.
Tania walked out and Valentina looked at George.
"Yes, Uncle George... You were telling something?" Valentina asked.
"Yes, Sweetie... I wanted to talk about this topic with you personally, but it happened so fast!" George said lowering his eyes in nervousness.
"What are you talking about, Uncle George? Can you be clear?" Valentina asked already knowing about his words.
"Umm... Yes..."
George again got cut off as the door suddenly got opened and Valentina, George looked up.
"Sorry! I didn't know you have a guest!" Jason apologized.
"Jason, Come inside... It's fine. I told my PA to let you come in!" Valentina said.
"Ohh, Val... We can talk later! It's not important though!" Jason replied, turning back to walk away.
"I said, Come inside!", said Valentina and Jason sighed.
Jason walked inside looking at Valentina and she smirked at him.
"Hello, Mr. Avalonzo!", Jason greeted George.
"Hello, Mr. Anistone. How are you doing?" George asked as he got up from his couch and forwarded his hand for a shake hand.
"Good. How about you?" Jason asked as he shook his hands with him.
"Great!" George answered and Jason smiled.
"Have a seat, Jason!" Valentina said and Jason nodded and sat beside her, on the couch.
"So, Uncle George. You were saying something?" Valentina asked and George nodded.
"Well... This is still a family matter. We didn't yet reveal it to the paparazzi!" George answered looking at Jason.
"Ohhh... It's alright! You can say it!" Valentina replied with a smile!
"Alright!" George said confusingly, and looked at Valentina.
"Xavier is Married!" George said and thought to get some reaction from Valentina, but seeing her neutral reaction irked him.
"Umm... Xavier is married!" George said again convincingly and Valentina chuckled, and looked at Jason, while Jason gave her a brief smile.
"I already know about this, Uncle George!" Valentina replied making George's eyes widened.
"Ho... How?" George asked and Valentina chuckled again.
"Do you really think you can keep this away from me, Uncle George?" Valentina asked roughly, with a smile and George gulped down the saliva from his throat.
"Xavier told you?" George asked earning another chuckle from Valentina.
"Uncle George, even though Xavier is my best friend, but he never will cross his line, and will not tell me anything which you don't want him to tell me! He is a mature person and a guy who respects his father and his words more than anything else in this world!" Valentina answered looking into the George's eyes and he nodded.
"Yeah... But... How did you get to know about this them?" George asked in a confused reaction.
"It's not your place to get to know this, because you already know that I have my ways to get to know things, and will behave as if I know nothing because I want to see how much you think of me as your family!" Valentina answered straightforwardly snickering, and that smile scared the shit out of George.
"Umm... Sorry for not telling you about this. I wanted to tell you, but it somehow happened so fast!" George replied and Valentina nodded.
"Yeah... It's alright! Don't worry!" Valentina replied.
"Can I ask you when did you get to know about this?" George asked scratching his head.
"2 days before the wedding!" Valentina answered and George breath grasped.
"Why didn't you come to the wedding then?" George asked with a brief smile, knowing about her reaction already.
"First of all, How do you think I will come to a wedding without an invitation? I have better things to do rather than coming to an uninvited wedding!" Valentina answered and Jason laughed sheepishly, but Valentina cleared her throat and she clearly knew that Jason would tease her to death about this!
