Chapter 958: Joint Endorsement
"I have a surprise for you," Sonia said with a grin, and Bryan raised a brow.
"What?" He asked, and she picked up her phone and scrolled through it until she found what she was searching for.
She grinned as she played it, and Bryan\'s eyes widened in surprise when he recognized what it was and a grin split his face. It was the recording she had made while they talked that night. (Chapter 20).
Bryan chuckled, "I sound so pissed and frustrated," he said as he listened.
"You were very frustrated and pissed," Sonia said with a giggle.
"You were so stubborn and annoying," he said, and she giggled.
"You deserved all of that for trying to use me to get out of your mess," she said, and Bryan chuckled as he listened to the recording which was still playing.
"I guess I\'m one of those who are lucky enough to experience true love after all," Bryan said, kissing her hand.
"Yep. We are," Sonia said as she patted her baby bump.
"You know one funny thing about life? You could just be thinking that nothing is happening in your life and maybe nothing is working for you, and then the next moment something magnificent happens. Like receiving a proposal from a celebrity," she said, and Bryan chuckled.
"And you could be trying to get out of a silly scandal and end up proposing to the love of your life unknowingly," he said as he placed a hand on her abdomen.
As Bryan\'s hand rested on Sonia\'s abdomen, he suddenly felt a gentle flutter, and his eyes widened with wonder, and a huge grin spread across his face. "Whoa, what\'s that?" he
exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement.
Sonia chuckled, "I think Ryso is saying hello!"
Bryan\'s eyes locked onto Sonia\'s, filled with awe and joy. He felt another gentle kick, and his heart skipped a beat. "That\'s our baby!" he whispered, his voice full of emotion.
He gently pressed his hand against Sonia\'s belly, eager to feel more of the baby\'s movements. "Hello, Ryso. This is your, Daddy. Kick if you hear me," Bryan said, and when he felt another movement, he laughed happily.
"Ryso can hear me," he said, his excitement growing.
Sonia laughed at Bryan\'s antics, happy to see him so thrilled. "You\'re going to be an amazing Dad, Bryan," she said, her voice filled with love.
Bryan\'s face lit up with a radiant smile. "And you\'ll be a wonderful Mom, I know it. I can\'t wait to meet our little one," he said, his voice filled with anticipation as he lay his head on her abdomen.
"Me too," she said, patting Bryan\'s head.
"By the way, while you were taking a nap, the manager called and I went out to meet with them," Bryan said, pulling away to look at her.
Sonia raised a brow. "Them?" she asked and he nodded.
"The CEO was around too. They thought we were going to come down together. They want us to partner with them," he said, and Sonia sat up.
"You mean like an endorsement deal?" she asked excitedly, and he chuckled.
"Yes."
"Us? Or you?" She asked again for clarification, and he laughed again.
"The both of us. As a couple. Since our love story started here, and it sort of drew attention to the Hotel, they want us to partner with them," Bryan explained, and Sonia shrieked happily making Bryan laugh.
"Do you know what that means? That\'s going to be my first endorsement deal," she said standing up to dance in circles.
"I thought so. So, I didn\'t discuss the details with them. I told them we would come back together when you\'re awake," he said, and she raised a brow.
"Why didn\'t you say that before now?" She asked as she hurried to the closet and Bryan laughed as he watched her search for something to wear.
A short while later, Sonia and Bryan were seated in the office of the manager\'s office, sipping champagne and discussing a potential partnership with the hotel management.
"We\'re thrilled to have you both on board," the hotel manager said, beaming with excitement. "Your love story is an inspiration, and we believe it aligns perfectly with our brand values."
Bryan smiled, "We\'re happy to partner with you. This hotel holds a special place in our hearts."
Sonia nodded, "We\'re looking forward to working together to create some amazing experiences for your guests."
Sonia bubbled with excitement as the hotel manager outlined the proposal: sponsored content, exclusive packages, and co-branded promotions.
Sonia let Bryan do the talking since he was more experienced when it came to endorsements than she was, and she listened with rapt attention to all that was being discussed.
As they left the hotel manager\'s office, Sonia couldn\'t stop smiling. Their love story had brought them full circle, from a chance meeting to a partnership with the hotel where it all began.
"I\'m so excited for this endorsement deal," Sonia said, her eyes shining happily.
"Me too," Bryan replied, squeezing Sonia\'s hand. "We make a great team, in every way."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sonia nodded, feeling grateful for their love and the opportunities it had brought them. "We sure do. I can\'t wait to share the news with Lucy and the girls. I\'m now a brand ambassador."
Bryan chuckled, "Not yet, love. We haven\'t signed..."
"Don\'t ruin the mood," she chided, and Bryan chuckled.
"You know what I think? We should set up a trust-fund for Ryso with this and every money that comes from our joint endorsement should go into it. What do you think?" Sonia asked thoughtfully as they walked into their suite and Bryan smiled.
"I think I chose the best Mom possible for Ryso," he said, pulling her close for kiss her.
Back at the Perry household, by the time Lucas returned to the bedroom, Amy had dozed off. He smiled as he joined her on the bed, pulling her close to himself.
As he lay on the bed with her, listening to her soft breath, he thought about what his mother had said about meeting Amy for the first time on the same day he ended things with Rachel. Was it really symbolic? Was that the universe telling him that Amy was the one he was meant to be with?
He found it funny that even though he had not harbored any sort of romantic feelings towards Amy when they met at Lucy\'s apartment that day, the universe had still somehow made their parts cross again by engineering his encounter with Miley in such a way that he met Amy
again.
Lucas couldn\'t shake off the feeling that there was something special about the timing of it all. None of all that happened could have been simply coincidence.
He thought about how different his life would be if he had stayed in the toxic relationship with Rachel or if he had never met Amy.
As he held Amy close, he felt a sense of gratitude and wonder. Was it fate that had brought them together? He didn\'t know, but he did know that he couldn\'t imagine his life without her
now.
She brought him so much joy that he had never truly experienced, and what he loved most was the easy friendship they shared.
Maybe Amy was the universe\'s way of telling him that he deserved better, that he deserved
love and happiness.
Lucas gently stroked Amy\'s hair, feeling her soft breath on his skin. He closed his eyes, letting the peacefulness of the moment wash over him.
As he drifted off to sleep with Amy in his arms, Lucas knew that he would never let her go. He would cherish and love her, and make sure that she knew how much she meant to him. The universe had brought them together, and he was grateful for that.
While Lucas and Amy slept, Lucy lay on her parents\' bed, chatting with them while Tom was
busy responding to an important mail.
"Lucas seems to really like her," Janet said, and Lucy grinned.
"He is totally crazy about her," she said as she took out her phone to show them the picture
Jade had taken of Lucas.
Andrew and Janet threw back their heads and laughed hard when they saw the picture and the
capture.
"Is that really my Lucas?" Janet asked, still laughing, and Lucy giggled.
"The other day while he was still in Husla, he arranged for a package of flowers and stuff to be delivered to her at the office," Lucy confided happily.
"Aww. My Lucas is such a charming young man. He\'s the real Prince Charming," Janet said
with a proud smile.
"He learned how to be romantic from me. Back in the day, I swept your mother off her feet
with my romantic gestures," Andrew said, and Janet rolled her eyes.
"We are not talking about you, Drew," she said, and Lucy giggled.
"Are you saying that I didn\'t sweep you off your feet? I..."
"Maybe you did then, but I\'m back on my feet now," Janet said, and Lucy hollered with
laughter.
"Wow. That\'s nice, Janet. Really nice," Andrew said with a scowl.
"Tell me more about Amy, Lu. She seems like a nice girl. What do you think about her, aside
from being great at her job?" Janet asked, returning her attention to Lucy.
"She is wonderful, Mom. And the best part for me is that she loves Lucas, too. They\'re both so cute and seeing them together makes me smile," Lucy said with a wide smile. "Well, I\'m glad he finally found someone nice for himself. Someone who loves him and understands him," Andrew said and they all nodded.
"I was worried that the whole mess with Rachel would take him forever to get over, but I\'m
glad to see that he is moving on. Did you set them up?" Janet asked, and Lucy shook her head. "No. I had no hand in it. He told you he\'s relocating to Ludus after his program, right? He\'s
taking a job at the I-Global clinic and he will be taking over my apartment too," she said, and her parents nodded.
"Yeah. He told us so," Janet said, happy that both her kids were doing alright and she didn\'t have to worry about Lucas anymore.
"So, what about you, Lucy?" Andrew asked, watching Lucy closely.
"What about me?" She asked with a confused smile.
"What\'s going on with you? How are things going with Tom? If Lucas is moving into your
place, does that mean you\'re moving in fully with Tom?" He asked, and she grinned.
"Yeah," she said with a nod.
"Really? Are you finally going to get married to him?" Janet asked excitedly, and Lucy
giggled.
"Yes, I plan to. But he doesn\'t know it yet," she said with a grin.
"He doesn\'t?" Andrew asked, wondering why she thought Tom didn\'t know about her change
of heart when he was preparing to engage her.
Lucy shook her head, "No. I want to surprise him," she said, not wanting to tell them about
her plan to engage him.
"If he doesn\'t know, how is he going to propose and how are you both going to get married?"
Janet asked with a frown.
"Don\'t worry. When the right times comes it will happen," she said with a smug smile.
"Do you want me to tell Evelyn so she can give him a hint?" Janet suggested and Lucy shook
her head.
"No. No. I don\'t want her to know about it either," Lucy said, and Janet smiled. "Well, I\'m sure you have a plan whatever that is. But right now I\'m just so thankful that both my babies are in a good place emotionally," Janet said, patting Lucy\'s hair. Andrew nodded in agreement, "Me too," he said with a wide smile, deciding to keep Tom\'s plan to himself. He wanted Janet to be just as surprised as Lucy when Tom proposed.
