Billionaire Encounter

Chapter - 18

Aziel called his secretary and asked him to book an appointment for him today for the checkup with a doctor.

The secretary was dumbfounded for a moment and hurriedly asked him, " Sir, are you alright? Do you need to see the doctor urgently?? "

Aziel said to his secretary that, " It's not for me but do what I instructed to you. I will be there today in between 04:30 to 05:00 PM with someone who needs a checkup. "

Secretary didn't ask further questions and just replied by saying, " I understand. I will shortly book an appointment under your name for the family doctor. "

With this the conversation between them ended.

Meanwhile at the front desk.

Leslie asked worriedly to Ziya, " Are you really feeling better now."

Ziya smiled and grabbed Leslie's hands saying, " Don't worry Leslie. I am fine now. Thank you for taking care of me and I apologize to have burden you on your last day at work. "

Ziya further added, " I know how you have been eagerly waiting for today and how excited you were. I just ruined the day for you, isn't it??"

Leslie comforted her and said, " Calm down Ziya, you don't have to worry about it. Plus the day hasn't ended yet, right??? So, cheer up or else you are going to make me sad too."

Ziya said hurriedly, " No don't be sad. It's your last day. You are right. The day hasn't ended yet. Let's forget about what happened."

As soon as Ziya said this statement, Chris walked in towards the desk.

Chris : " Hello beautiful ladies, How has your day been going so far? "

Ziya replied, " Hello Chris. Our day has been wonderful. I was just saying that, I am going to miss Leslie a lot. Before she could say anything, you came in. "

Leslie : " She is right Chris, we were just talking about that when you showed up. Also, what do you mean by ladies?? We have a very beautiful girl here now and her name is Ziya and you made her a lady now!! Not good Chris. "

Chris: " Cut me some slack, will ya?? Always on me for one thing or the other. "

Leslie: " Fine, since it's my last day, I will let this go. "

Chris : " Phew, it's a relief. "

Looking at Chris and Leslie's interaction, Ziya laughed her heart out.

Once Ziya was done laughing, she said, " I am going to miss your daily banter Leslie and Chris.  "

The day passed on as usual, during lunch break, Ziya surprised Leslie with the cake she prepared for her farewell.

Leslie looked at the cake baked by Ziya and could not stop her tears at all. Leslie was very touched by this small gesture from Ziya and could not help crying at the site of the cake!

Leslie has been working in this building for so many years now and so far no one has ever done this kind of gesture for her at the workplace.

After a moment of being emotional, Leslie hugged Ziya and thanked her for her support and encouragement towards her new life.

Leslie then cut the cake Ziya prepared and distributed in the staff to Chris, Ziya and other cleaning staff with whom they have a good bonding with.

After tasting a piece of cake in her first bite Leslie was awestruck at how tasty the cake was. She thanked Ziya for her wonderful baking.

After everyone dispersed, Leslie gave a piece of cake in a use and throw dish and asked Ziya to take this and give it to  Aziel.

Also, Leslie mentioned that, he helped me and you a lot in the morning and I think we can at least give a piece of cake from my farewell party to him.

Ziya agreed on that part and comply to Leslie's request. Ziya took the plate and headed towards the penthouse unit where Aziel stayed.

Once up there, she was hesitating on knocking the door or ringing the bell. Ziya took a deep breath and decided to knock on the door first and if not responded, then she will ring the door bell.

Ziya raised her hand to knock on the door and before she could knock, Aziel opened the door, which surprised Ziya and Aziel.

Aziel saw Ziya standing and the first thing he could think of was if Ziya had another episode. So he asked worriedly, are you alright? Do you feel uncomfortable??

Listening to Aziel's questions, Ziya came back to her senses and replied, " I am fine and I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

Listening to Ziya, Aziel breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, she further added, " I actually came here to give you a piece of cake. It's Leslie's last day today and she asked me to give a piece of cake to you as well as her farewell."

Aziel smiled at Ziya and took the plate of cake from her hand while asking, " I don't remember that she brought a cake today for her farewell. By any chance, did Chris brought it??"

Ziya replied to him, " No, actually I baked this cake myself as a farewell gift and a gratitude towards Leslie. Since, I will be working in her position and she has been very nice to me."

Hearing Ziya's words, Aziel was quite surprised and asked, " You know how to bake??"

Ziya nodded her head and said, " Yes, I learned how to cook and bake by myself. Since, I also have to eat."

Aziel felt sorry for her and said, " I didn't mean to say it in that way. I am sorry."

Aziel then opened the plate and saw a beautifully decorated cake piece with gems on top of it. Took it in his hand and had a bite of the cake.

After eating it, he said, " It's very delicious. I really liked the cake you baked."

Ziya was once again shocked and surprised by Aziel's action. She said hurriedly, " you didn't have to complement me or eat it in-front of me."

Aziel looked at her and said, " It's not a fake compliment, I mean what I said. This cake is really delicious. In fact, I was going to ask you if you could bake me a cake as well. If it's not too much to ask."

Ziya was once again stunned and murmured, " You really want to eat a cake made by me?? I don't think I am that good. I am mediocre at baking but, I am more good at cooking."

Aziel heard what Ziya was murmuring and said, " Don't berate yourself and give yourself some credit. It's really delicious and if you insist that your cooking is more good then, I would like to try some of your cooking along with the cake, if you don't mind."

"Since, I don't know how to cook and eat outside food daily, it will be a nice change for me to eat homemade food."

Ziya smiled and said, " If you want, I can cook for you too and it's not a bother for me. I will bring something for you today to have a taste. If it suits your palette, let me know."

With this being said, Ziya left Aziel to the door and left for the desk.
