Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: 460- Birthday Gift
In the coming days, it was proved that Aniya was right. Paige had indeed hit her head with something and had started acting weird with everyone.

Especially with Aniya.

She had gotten friendly with her, trying to facilitate her in every possible way.

“Anaya. Mr. George Donovan wants to see you,” one fine morning she informed Aniya with a sweet smile.

Gone was the girl who used to get possessive and sarcastic with every employee of the office.

The same day when Aniya was leaving George’s office after getting kissed thoroughly, Paige greeted her with a big smile and walked with her to the elevator.

“We should have lunch or dinner someday,” she suggested to Aniya and Aniya could only nod in shock.

“Yeah…” she responded with a shrug.

Aniya found it funny though. She was supposed to be worried about her growing love for George, instead, she was more concerned about Paige’s weirdly positive behavior.

“Anaya. You should be very careful with this woman. She was never sweet with anyone and now suddenly she is acting as if she cares for you and is your well-wisher.”

Olivia tried to warn her friend during lunchtime in the office café. Aniya kept chewing her food. She was also doubtful about Paige’s sudden change in her behavior.

I know this breed, Olive. My mom did the same to me. She was good to me before selling me over to Dorian Maxwell.

Aniya thought bitterly.

“What can be the reason for this sudden friendliness?” Emma was also puzzled.

Aniya wished she could forget about Valerie. Her mind was diverted when her phone buzzed with a message. She quickly fished it out of her pocket.

“Dinner tomorrow?”

The message was from George. She clamped her lips and typed back another message.

“Any special occasion?”

“Yeah. It can become more special if you stay with me from evening till night.” And then another message popped up, “I’m more interested if you stay overnight.”

Aniya sighed and thought of the kisses he showered on her face this morning, “OK. Done.” She added a thumbs-up emoji with her message.

What can be this special occasion?

She thought with a pout.

And then she got her answer in the office lobby when she was wiping the glass doors.

A man was telling someone that it was George’s birthday the next day and how his boss had hated accepting gifts the last year when they all tried to celebrate it in the office.

“He wasn’t angry but asked us not to arrange any party for his birthdays as he never liked celebrating them.”

A small smile flashed on Aniya’s lips. So that was why he was inviting me?

To celebrate his birthday.

However, the smile didn’t stay there. Her eyes widened as it suddenly hit her—she needed to buy him a gift!

Uh-huh. She needed to see if she had enough savings for it.

She jerked when Olivia snapped her fingers before her eyes. She and Emma were standing there with a cart carrying cleaning supplies, “Where are you, girl? Still in bed with your hot boyfriend?”

Emma started giggling but Aniya stayed serious and held Olivia’s hand, “I … I… need to buy a gift.”

Olivia’s eyes narrowed into slits as suspicion flickered across her face, “Gift?”

“Y-yeah,” Aniya tucked her hair strand behind her ear.

“If it’s for Mr. George Donovan’s birthday then don’t. He doesn’t like it,” Aniya thought Olivia had caught her red-handed while stealing something.

“Wh- What?”

“Yeah. Last year a few employees tried celebrating it, but he didn’t like it and discouraged it.”

Aniya swiped her tongue over her dry lips, “It’s… it’s not… for George… I mean it’s not for Mr. George … it’s for…” She seemed to be thinking hard when Emma gave her a mischievous grin.

“Is it for your boyfriend? Oh, man. He shares his birth date with Mr. George Donovan?”

Aniya started shaking her head wildly, trying to be all defensive, “No! It’s not his birthday…he … he got a promotion so… we are celebrating it tomorrow….”

“Wow! Congratulations! Then after reaching the hostel, let’s take shower first and then I can take you to the market. There is a thrift store that sells some amazing stuff.”

Aniya took a sigh of relief for coming up with the lie. But how long could she hide it?

***

Aniya wasn’t liking anything in the thrift stores. She wished she had enough money so that she could afford something better for him.

Something more decent.

Emma was getting tired after walking for two hours, “Anaya Jakes. If you don’t choose a gift for him soon, I swear I’ll fall. I can’t feel my legs anymore,” she groaned.

Aniya felt guilty. Her friends were already tired from the office cleaning job and now they were wandering around here because they wanted to help her with the gift.

Her eyes fell on a small store that seemed to have ancient stuff. Her feet started walking towards it.

An old man was sitting behind the counter, repairing an old watch. When he saw girls coming inside, a warm smile graced his lips.

Aniya was looking through the glass showcases of the antique shop, but nothing was catching her eye. Trinkets and timeworn treasures were there on display.

Emma and Olivia were now chatting with the friendly old man and giggling at his funny banters. She was about to turn away in disappointment when her gaze landed on a small bronze warrior, who was raising a sword above his head.

The odd thing was it didn’t give the impression as if he was attacking but rather protecting something or someone.

Just like a knight in shining Armor. She thought with a faint smile. She studied the intricate craftsmanship.

That was it!

She picked it up, feeling its weight on her palm.

Perfect!

***

Olivia and Emma had to lend her some money and she promised them a good lunch as soon as she would get her next salary.

She excitedly packed the small bronze figure. George might have invited her for tomorrow’s dinner, but she wanted to surprise him around midnight by going unannounced to his penthouse.

Not knowing that Ariel Sinclair was also planning to do the same.
