Aşk Ve Mutluluk (Love And Happiness) (Tolga & Ozge)

Chapter Thirteen: In Denial

"Sidika, will you be able to do it?"

Sidika snapped out of her drowsiness as Mrs. Gonul Aydin talked to her through the phone. She was up late last night at the hotel since there was another rich daughter having a party.

"What did you say, Mrs. Gonul?" Sidika yawned, rubbing her eyes.

"I said, my friend, Mrs. Berrak Batur's youngest son is sick and they need a helper for him," Mrs. Gonul said. "They pay big, since they're rich. All you have to do is take care of all the needs of their son."

"Alright, Mrs. Gonul, I'll take it," Sidika said. "When should I start?"

"Tonight, dear," Mrs. Gonul said. "Your shift will only be at evenings and you will sleep at the Batur mansion, they already have everything ready for you."

"Okay, Mrs. Gonul. Thank you," Sidika said, then she hung up.

She sighed as she looked out her window, still thinking about what Umit said last night.

"Can you help me court Damla?"

"Stupid Sidika," Sidika muttered to herself. "Did you really think he will like you? Of course he's in love with Damla!"

She took a sip of her tea.

"I guess I'm resigning from Ilkbahar then," Sidika said. "This babysitting job must be paying a lot more."

"What can you offer me?"

Gokberk Demirci asked as he ate his steak, Tolga and Ozge across from him.

The hotel's restaurant was mostly empty, and the atmosphere was serene and quiet, the AC turned on quite high because it was twelve in the afternoon.

Tolga took out the contract and gave it to Gokberk. Gokberk opened it and read, grinning as he read more. Tolga looked at him, expressionless, and trying to stay awake.

"So you're building a luxury hotel," Gokberk grinned. "I wanna invest in it."

"Yeah, it's Grandma's idea," Tolga said. "She wants to build Grandpa's dream hotel before things get worse for her."

"Why? Is she okay?" Gokberk asked.

"She'll tell you in the right time," Tolga said. "Anyway, I'm looking for 80 million dollars for a 17.5% stake of the company."

Gokberk laughed. "A 17.5% stake? For 80 million dollars? Are you kidding me, Tolga Mendi? Such a small stake for a big amount. How much is your proposed budget for the hotel then?"

Tolga sneered. "You have to understand we will be working with a lot of investors, Gokberk. It's not just you. 80 million dollars for a 17.5% stake is quite fair. The budget for the hotel should be about 2.5 billion dollars."

"I like it," Gokberk grinned. "But I can take it quite further. I'm prepared to give you 200 million dollars for a 25% stake, and a date with Miss Ozge."

"What?" Ozge exclaimed.

Tolga chuckled. "She's my fiance, Gokberk."

"And a little date won't hurt," Gokberk said. "Come on, what do you say?"

Ozge looked at Tolga, hoping he'd say no.

Surely he won't agree to it, right? Surely...

"It's a deal," Tolga said, smiling. "Pleasure to be working with you, Gokberk Demirci."

"The pleasure is mine," Gokberk said, looking at Ozge.

Ozge sneered, not believing everything she just heard.
