Chapter 13 Suzuki Swift
"How did you look like an angel even when you're sleeping?" Ares mumble while closely staring at Kia. She is sleeping peacefully.
He blinked as his eyes adjusted and his eyes felt scratchy. The sun was beaming through their blinds causing Kia to stir. She slowly opened her eyes and took a glimpse of her surroundings. At that point, she saw Ares seriously staring at her. She wasn't sure about what she saw so she took a glimpse for the second time.
He is really staring at me… I thought it was just a dream…
She closed her eyes once again and let her sleepiness lead her body. Usually, waking up was a simple task for Kia; she was a morning person after all. She groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit her face.
A minute later the clock started ringing. Ares picked up the alarm clock on their nightstand and looked at the time.
"What is the time?" Kia innocently asked her husband.
"Hmm? Oh— it's already eight in the morning—"
"What?!" Kia hysterically asked and began to sit up. She put her hand to her head which was throbbing. "Why didn't you wake me up early? My class is at 8:30 am… I'm late…" Crawling out of her warm bed, she rushed to their bathroom and started cleaning her teeth.
"I thought your class was at 9 am?" Ares asked and started preparing his belongings.
They decided to not take a shower because they were already out of time. "Your school is quite far from here. I have a car. I can offer you a ride."
"Alright. Let's go," Kia said, hurriedly. She was already done preparing herself and ready to go.
Ares approaches her and kisses her forehead, "Hmm, let's go. My wife is so dedicated. Make sure to eat something on your break, okay?"
Kia nodded while thinking if he's also gentle with other people. Such as the first love he mentioned last night…
They get into the car and drive all the way to Kia's University. When they arrived Kia held the door handle to go out but then Ares suddenly grabbed his hand, "Call me so that I can pick you up later. I love you!"
"Hmm, I love you too!" Kia smiled at Ares before rushing to get inside the campus.
Ares drives to the office when he can no longer see Kia. He entered the VIP parking garage with his Suzuki Swift.
"Look, babe! This is the VIP parking garage. Only those people with an annual income of five million can get the passcard here! Come on, I'll show you my new car that daddy bought for me.." the guy wearing his gold cross necklace said while holding his girlfriend's waist.
"Look! A Suzuki Swift!" His girlfriend said while pointing into Ares' car.
"What?! Is the garage identification system broken?!" The guy said, looking shocked.
Ares made wonderful drifting parking before getting out of his car. Their jaws dropped when they noticed the person who was driving it, "B-babe… is that Ares France Vuertalejo? The CEO of this Company? H-how comes he drives the Suzuki Swift to work!"
*Tick tick—*
"He looks so hot even when he drives a car like that…" the girl murmured while her saliva dripped from her mouth.
-
"Here comes the CEO! Go get ready everyone!"
Ares slowly entered the building while his secretary was waiting for him in front of the entrance. Ares was, well, different from all others. He was handsome, which stood out in the crowd. His eyes were as deep and expressive, as you could get lost if you stare long enough. His face had that faraway look in it, which cannot be described in words. His smile, which reached up to his eyes and wrinkled them, flaunted his modesty and humility.
"Wow ahh— Is that really him? It's my first time seeing him in person. Why is he so handsome?!"
"I just fixed my eyes on him!"
"You know what, they said that Boss Ares actually comes to work in a Suzuki Swift!"
"That's impossible! He has countless limited-edition luxury cars."
"Could it be that he is tired of a luxury car, and changed to another type?"
-
When Ares entered his office he immediately sat in his black office chair and leaned his foot on the table.
"CEO Vuertalejo, here's your schedule for today."
"Kyle, I have told you many times, call me boss. Don't do the previous company practice in the company," Ares murmured, glaring at his secretary.
"Yes, boss…" he mumbled.
Ares scratches his forehead, "You are different from usual. What's going on?"
"Boss! It's been irritating me when I think about it! I don't know who the f*cking idiot made the rumor, saying that you drive the Suzuki Swift to work today! Who would think that's possible?! This is like a person who eats in a luxurious restaurant every day and changes into a Jollibee!" Kyle said, angrily. His face contorted with rage.
But Jollibee is delicious! Ares said in his mind.
"They are right. I'm driving a Suzuki Swift to work today," Ares said proudly.
"What?! Do you actually come to work in a Suzuki Swift?!"
"Shut up!" Ares hurriedly covered Kyle's mouth.
Umm!
"Stop being so noisy. Do you want to work in the cleaning department?" A grin formed on Ares' lips.
"No, boss. I'm your lovely sidekick! I won't do it again!" Kyle's eyes were like a puppy shining like a star.
"Any update about the information I asked you to investigate?"
"Right…" Kyle grabs his iPad and starts looking for the files he collected to present, "The person is named Kianna Myst Saavedra; she is 21 years old. Studying at the University of Cavite. She took a lot of sidelines to sustain herself. Her family is well off. Her father, Mr. Richard Saavedra, is the chairman of the Saavedra Group. Unfortunately, her mother died six years ago and her father remarried. Her stepmother brought a daughter named Asteria Dayle Silvian, later, she changed her name to Asteria Dayle Saavedra. There were rumors that Asteria is the real daughter of Mr. Saavedra. It's heard that they are on bad terms with Kianna Myst Saavedra."
"That's it? You've just collected so little primary information, even if you apply to work in Fabulous Magazine, they won't hire you! Go to the cleaning department!"
Kyle's eyes widened and hysterically gave his iPad to Ares, "Don't worry, there's more… Kianna Myst Saavedra fell in love with her boyfriend Vincent Rivera for five years, he is an unfaithful asshole who has affair with Ms. Kia's half-sister Asteria. It might be the reason why Ms. Kianna announced a flashed marriage suddenly! Vincent Rivera went to her University to make trouble because of this. Ms. Kianna spilled the beans of his cheating on the spot. It's amazing! But Vincent Rivera did not give up and stayed at the gate of her school. This is roughly the case in her love life. Are you satisfied boss?"
Ares
Turns out she got hammered because of her ex-fiance's betrayal.
"Go and find out the details of her ex-fiance. If possible, make things difficult for the Rivera Family. So that Vincent Rivera will stop bothering Kianna. Got it?" I said while crossing my arms.
How dare he cheat on the person I have a crush on!
"Why deal with the Rivera Family? It's not your style boss." Kyle innocently asked.
"Do you want your family to take the consequences instead?"
"Boss, don't worry! I have my word! I'll do it right away!" He said while rushing outside.
Kianna— you are the most beautiful thing in my life. I swear I will protect you for the rest of your life.
