The next day, Shally went to see Henry, she took her CV with her and did the meeting, Henry asked her questions about how she started drawing the designs, if she got lessons about it, what experience she has and explained to her that usually he doesn't take people with no experience in this domain, Shally promised him to work hard and do whatever it takes to please him, she told him that she'll do whatever he tells her, it's enough that he gives her a chance and indeed he decided to give her one; so now, Shally doesn't have to work many different jobs at all because in her new job, they pay a very good salary if you do a good job and as it looks, Shally knows what she's doing. Now, she just needs to focus on the designs, it won't take her long to have a lot of money and make her dream of taking her parents home real, more than that, she'll have more time to spend with them since she'll finish at 16h.
As for Gerard, he was in the company with Andrew and they were talking about the dinner, Andrew got so annoyed and upset that Gerard was right again about girls being gold diggers: "I can't believe you're right again" complained Andrew, "I'm always right but you love to try to make me wrong, that girl didn't resist even a second, in the opposite, if I waited three more seconds she'll be the one to ask me out" lied Gerard then added: "Don't forget the deal, you'll tell my mom I'm dating her".
In the afternoon, Gerard came home and found his mother looking to the pictures of his date waiting for him to interview him: "
× So? You really started dating this girl?
× I guess so, yeah, it was only one dinner, we'll see in the coming days.
× (Impressed) So there are coming days, you started doing well. So? Who's the beauty here? Where did she come from? How did you two meet? When am I going to meet her?...
× (Interrupting)...Slow down mom, would you? I need you to promise me one thing by the way, I don't want you to look for any information of her, we're just at the beginning I don't even know if we're going to last or even if we'll get along with each other, so how about letting me get to know her first and if everything passes with no problem, I'll personally introduce her to you? After all, I made the first move and started looking for one as you asked.
× (Happy) Okay, as you wish but at least tell me her name.
× Shally.
× Shally! And which family is she from?
× (Annoyed) Mom? What did I just ask you?
× Okay fine, I'm sorry."
Margret was happy that finally her son started looking for a future wife not knowing that he lied on both to her, Shally and Andrew, three birds with one stone. The last one to get the news of the deal's result was Gwen since she was busy at work, she had no idea but Andrew called her later and made her know that Gerard won, looking that she thought the woman was strong and won't accept the dinner, she got disappointed and went to see Gerard at home to understand how did this happen. When she got to Gerard's house and before she finds him, she saw the photos of the dinner on the table, she stared at them for moment and then went furious to Gerard's room, she got without even knocking on the door, Gerard just got out from the shower, he was half naked, Gwen got hypnotised for a moment by his attractive body then heard him say: "
× Don't you know how to knock before getting to anyone's room?
× (Angry) We have a serious matter, it's not time for knocking lessons.
× And what is this serious matter that forbidden you from knocking?
× I saw the photos, you went to the dinner with her.
× Yeah, that means I won the deal and you two have to assume the consequences and lie to mom as promised.
× Do you like her? Are you in love with her?
× (Not understanding anything) Excuse me?
× (Shouting) I said are you in love with her?
× Are you out of your mind? Things will get bad next time you raise your voice on me Gwen, wake up, it was just for the deal.
× Then why didn't you leave her on the table as you do to others? Why did you get her home after the dinner?
× Could it be because I need to have photos of me taking her home to convince my mother that I'm in a serious relationship?
× (Relieved)So this is the only reason? Nothing else?
× Are you really okay? These are silly questions in case you didn't notice."
Gwen was happy to know that there's nothing between Gerard and Shally, she turned to leave but then turned to him deciding to be totally honest with him: "Look Gerard, I know you don't notice anything or maybe you're just pretending not to notice or understand but, I did like you since we were kids and I still like you, we had a lot of things in common, we like the same things and even our names start with the same letter; actually the more we grow up the more I like you, we are meant for each other Gerard and I'm not ready to see you with any other woman, the only reason I handle your hangings with them is that I know you're just playing on them but if I figure out that you like another woman I'll come between you for sure, I want you for me and mine only so I'll do whatever it takes to have you, don't say I didn't warn you." Leaving these words, she directly left not waiting for Gerard's answer while he was like: "What? Was she threatening me?"
