Ziya finally surrendered at Leslie's arguments and said, " Alright, you win this time since you had a logical points but next time I am going to make sure to not come in the trap you lay down for me. "
Leslie sighed and said, " Honey, it's not a trap I laid. I am genuinely concerned about that kid. He needs to move on and give people a chance but he has shut himself off for quite a while now. "
" Since, I have been seeing him grew up from a teenage boy to being a successful man he is now, I feel bad for him. Please do this more as a favour for me than as a condition or bet and give that boy a chance. "
" Once you get to know him, you will realize that he is not that bad of a person and deep down he is very kind, lovable and compassionate. "
This time Ziya sighed and said, " Alright, I will give him a chance just for you but like I said before don't expect any results from me. Plus, he has also be the one who is willing to change."
" You know my efforts alone cannot make any changes and it's been quite a long time already when this happened so he may or may not be ready to move on. "
" I can follow the footsteps of the famous saying, let bygones be bygones but what about him? Will he be still willing to give me another chance? "
Leslie responded positively saying, " Trust me darling, he would be regretting over how he acted towards you since he realized you were there to hand him over the keys. "
" I have known that kid for a longer time now, I know that he has been deeply regretting over it. It's just that he might not accept it right away as he also has his self esteem. "
Ziya frowned a bit and said, " Wow Leslie, that's a nice way to put it and taking his side without even offending me. How do you do that? "
Leslie smiled and said, " Oh honey, when you will be of my age, you will realize that all these experiences teach us something very valuable and you will speak wisely just like I did. Maybe one day you too will be giving these advices to someone or should I say your kids. "
Hearing Leslie's words, Ziya started to blush a bit and she averted her face to the side before she responded, " You never miss a chance to tease me. Do you? "
Leslie laughed at this and said, " Alrighty, I will stop teasing you now. Let's see what's on today's agenda. "
" Taking her notes out, Leslie saw that, today we have a meeting room reservation for Mr. Aziel Watson at 10:00 AM, after that around 11:00 AM, Chris has a meeting with the managers from yesterday. "
" At 12:00 PM, we are supposed to have you head up to the parking levels to check everything about the residential and visitor's Parking which is a continuation of you venturing and exploring the building. "
" After that, you can proceed for your lunch break and later we will be doing the audits for the parcel and contractors keys. "
" By the end of all this, we will be done for the day and will be on our way heading home. "
Soon Chris came back from grabbing his coffee and started saying to both Leslie and Ziya, " Oh my god, you guys are never going to believe What just happened? "
Ziya and Leslie both looked at each other confusingly and asked in unison, " What exactly happened? Why do you look super excited and happy? "
Chris then mentioned, " I just saw the model in here with Mr. Watson. They really look good together but what surprises me the most is that, he was talking very patiently and kindly with her. "
Ziya was having an emotion she could not describe at the mention of Aziel and a model together. " What she didn't understand was how come he was speaking kind to her and when it actually came to her, he humiliated? "
Ziya looked at Leslie and gave her a look which was describing, " You now don't need me to have him back to his usual self. "
Leslie rolled her eyes at this and mentioned to Chris, " Oh dear, did you by any chance forgot that, the model you are talking about is his cousin? "
Chris realized something and rubbed his neck for a moment and said, " Now that you mentioned it, it was indeed her. I had actually forgotten about her. "
After saying that, Chris laughed sheepishly while Leslie gave Ziya a look which says, " See, I still need you to change him. "
Ziya rolled her eyes at her and raised her hands in surrender saying, " She will not argue on that topic anymore. "
Leslie patted Ziya's back and said, " She understands her as well. "
Hearing this, Ziya laughed dryly and said nothing else.
The morning routine continued with the bickering between the three about here and there before it was almost 10 minutes to 09:00 AM, Ziya then took out the forms for the inspection and headed to the 3rd floor for the meeting room.
Ziya informed Leslie and Chris by saying, " I will be shortly back after doing the pre inspection of the meeting room and taking in the signature from Mr. Watson. "
Leslie nodded her head in approval while Chris asked, " Mr. Aziel Watson has booked meeting room today? How come I am not aware about it? "
Leslie sighed and motioned for Ziya to head upstairs while she answered Chris saying, " He came in yesterday morning and asked me to reserve the morning time slots for the meeting room for today. You were busy with one of the resident on call. "
Ziya headed towards the elevator lobby and patiently waited for the elevator to arrive. Once elevator arrived, she boarded the elevator and pressed 3rd floor on it.
Soon enough Ziya reached the 3rd floor where the meeting room is. She swiped the key card and entered the room, checking everything in place and filled out the form accordingly.
Just as she was done filling out the form, she saw Aziel entered the room and he waited till she was done. Once finished, Ziya headed towards him and gave him the pen and the paper while pointing towards the signature part asking him to sign for the pre inspection part.
Aziel looked at the new development where she handed him the form but she still refuses to communicate with him which made him feel more guilty and realized how badly he has behaved yesterday with her.
Aziel looked at Ziya and mentioned to her, " About yesterday, I deeply apologize for my behaviour. I hope you forgive me. "
Just before he could say anything more, the model who Chris mentioned earlier came in and Aziel kept quiet on What he was going to say next.
Aziel signed the form and mentioned that as for the post inspection, she can come upstairs around 12:00 PM.
Ziya nodded her head in agreement and greeted the model lady by saying, " Hope you have a pleasant business meeting. "
The model looked amusingly at Ziya and asked Aziel, I like this girl. It seems like she had you on toes already.
