I Hope You Will Never Regret

Everyone clapped their hands and congratulated Gabriella. One of her colleagues asked, “Miss Stone, have you seen President Taylor before? I heard that he is very handsome.”

Gabriella didn’t want to hide anything from her colleagues and replied smiling, “I saw his photo six years ago. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen.”

The ladies were envious of Gabriella. They didn’t care about the position anymore, they wanted to see President Taylor’s handsomeness.

Her colleagues went back to their workstations dejectedly. Gabriella took her phone and called her best friend. When it was connected, she said, “My stunning sister, I don’t have enough words to thank you.

I am sorry for not believing you when you told me that you were dating President Taylor. I apologize for everything I said to you. I was muddle-headed.”

How could she say President Taylor is out of Avery’s league? Avery was not inferior to President Taylor in terms of wealth and beauty.

Avery smiled and replied, “Gabriella, I am not dating him, but we are husband and wife. We fell in love with each other at first sight, then he married me on the spot. He is a good man, and he loved me so dearly.

The Taylor family treats me as a treasure. Two weeks ago, Aunt Bridge married my uncle-in-law. I am glad that she didn’t have that mentality of looking down on herself. Love knows no bounds.”

Gabriella was dumbfounded when she heard that her best friend was already married to President Taylor.

She was happy for her best friend and replied, “Congratulations, my dearest sister. I will call Aunt Bridge later to congratulate her.” Avery smiled and asked, “Any developments between you and my big brother, Siyabonga?”

Gabriella shook her head and replied, “I have already given up on pursuing Siyabonga. I have been chasing him for five years, but I failed to capture his heart. It is clear to me that he doesn’t have any feelings for me.”

Avery felt sorry for her best friend and said, “One day you will meet your Prince Charming. Gabriella, let me run. I have surgery in thirty minutes.

During the interview, please don’t be scared of my husband. He has an intimidating aura.”

Gabriella laughed out loud and replied, “Avery, I am a journalist, and your husband will never intimidate me.” Avery smiled and replied, “Gabriella, he is different.” Gabriella laughed out loud, then they hung up.

At 1 pm in the Everlasting Group parking lot, Gabriella and the photographer, Senzo Jali, got into their boss’s car. On their way to the Restoration Group, Mr Moss smiled at Gabriella and asked, “Miss Stone, are you familiar with President Taylor?”

Gabriella shook her head and replied, “No, Sir. President Taylor is married to my best friend, but she hasn’t formally introduced me to him yet.” Mr Moss smiled and said, “We have to buy a gift for your friend to thank her for giving us a helping hand, Miss Stone.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Gabriella nodded her head. Avery had done so many things for her and her family. Also, she had given her the Editor-in-Chief position on a silver platter.

A few minutes later, Mr Moss and others walked to the reception area. He smiled at Kiki Daniels and said, “Good day, we are from the Everlasting Group, we have an appointment to see President Taylor.”

Kiki Daniels smiled then she dialed Executive Secretary, Cole Knight. When it was connected, she said, “Mr Knight, people from the Everlasting Group have arrived.” Executive Secretary Knight asked Kiki to escort them to the lounge.

A few minutes later, Executive Secretary Knight approached them and said, “Good day, President Taylor will be with you shortly. Do you want something to drink?” Mr Moss smiled and replied, “Water, please.”

Executive Secretary Knight brought three bottles of mineral water, then he excused himself. Gabriella’s eyes lit up when he saw her favourite Best Actor, Sid Lewis. If she was alone, she would have asked for his autograph.

At 1:45, Executive Secretary Knight escorted them to President Taylor’s office. When they entered the office, President Taylor was sitting on the sofa. They were stunned by President Taylor’s handsomeness and his strong presence.

Executive Secretary Knight introduced Mr Moss, Gabriella Stone, and Senzo Jali to President Taylor. Then they sat on the opposite sofa. They were suppressed by his strong aura.

President Taylor looked at Gabriella smiling and said, “Miss Stone, we can start.” Gabriella’s mind went blank and stammered, “Y.. yes Pres.. ident Taylor.” Senzo forgot to take photos. They became timid.

Mr Moss mustered his courage and said, “Thank you, President Taylor, for availing yourself; much appreciated it.” They had prepared many questions for President Taylor, but Mr Moss ended up asking him a few questions.

Senzo took his camera and took beautiful photos. He had never met anyone so intimidating in his life. It was clear to him that no one could approach President Taylor without his permission.

The interview was short and sweet. President Taylor handed the Taylor Group 50th Anniversary Gala invitation to Mr Moss and said, “Mr Moss, please bring your wife and Mr Jali with you.”

Mr Moss was overjoyed. He took the invitation card with both hands and thanked President Taylor. Mr Moss bade goodbye to President Taylor, and then they left.

In the parking lot, Mr Moss breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that he had come with them because it would be impossible for Gabriella to ask President Taylor a single question.

He looked at Gabriella and said, “Wow, what a strong presence. President Taylor has the aura of a king. Did your best friend forget to warn you about her husband’s aura?”

Gabriella replied, “She told me, but I didn’t take it to heart. I laughed and told her that her husband would never intimidate me. However, I was wrong.

I am glad that you came, Mr Moss. I don’t think the interview would be successful without you.” Then Mr Moss drove his car to the Everlasting Group smiling from ear to ear.

He was happy that the Everlasting Group was the first media company to interview President Taylor. They made history. Also, because of being invited to the Gala, his heart swelled with pride.

When they arrived at the company, Mr Moss took his phone and called his wife. When it was connected, he said, “Honey, President Taylor invited us to the Taylor Group Gala.”

His wife was over the moon. She asked her husband to send her the invitation card. She would post the Gala invitation card on social media and make her friends envious of her.

Senzo sent President Taylor’s photos to Mr Moss and Gabriella. His colleagues surrounded him and said, “Please show us President Taylor’s photos.” Senzo refused. He told them to ask Mr Moss.
