I Kissed A CEO And He Liked It!

Gabrielle laughed at the idea of considering their dinner as a "date." She thought to dismiss it, thinking Kyle was just creating a venue for a laugh. She said while feeling her face warm, "Sure, Kyle. Anything you say. You definitely get a hundred points!"

"Hmmm," Kyle responded. "I take that seriously."

"The restaurant is amazing!" Gabrielle announced. It was her way to move away from the topic, feeling embarrassed.

The two shared a few more exchanges, talking about the restaurant, but soon Kyle pardoned himself, leaving Gabrielle in her seat. "Excuse me, Gaby. I just need to check on the kitchen, as well as with the restaurant manager."

While waiting, Gabrielle took pictures of the harbor view. She especially took some selfies as she was at it.

An idea suddenly crept into her mind, watching the romantic atmosphere in her photo background. She bit her lip and eagerly uploaded the picture to her social media account and the photo available in public. She captioned it with "When one door closes, another one opens... Out on a date with my sweetheart!"

She chuckled as she immediately received notifications of likes and various reactions. She said, "I hope you see this, Warren."

It was the other day, when she received a friend request from Warren, after having been blocked by him in the first place. She did not accept him, and since she moved to Kyle's penthouse, she had been getting calls and texts from her ex, which she had completely ignored.

Thankfully, the presence of a handsome boss distracted Gabrielle from even thinking of entertaining Warren's disturbance.

As Gabrielle was replying to comments, a restaurant staff approached her, bringing a tablet in her hand. She said, "Hello, Miss Taylor."

The lady handed her the tablet and asked, "Would you mind taking part in a quick survey for us?" With a gleaming smile, the staff explained, "We look forward to your next visit here to our restaurant, and we thought that for every visit, we want to make it extra special. Thus, we want to get to know you better."

"Ummm... Sure, but I don't know if I will be coming back. I." Gabrielle turned shy before admitting, "I can't afford the food here."

"Oh, you will surely be back, Miss Taylor. Nonetheless, we would like to try this survey with you and see how this will improve our service with our VIP customers." The lady pleaded with her eyes and told, "I hope you can help us and give feedback."

Gabrielle gave up any objections. How could she not help? Just like her, she was certain that the restaurant staff was just trying to do her job.

She touched the screen and started reading the survey form. Carefully, she filled the questions one by one.

Name: Gabrielle Taylor

Nickname: Gaby

Question: Are your favorite food available on our menu? If no, what kind of dishes would you like for us to prepare for your next visit?

Answer: No. The food here is great, but it's not what I am used to. Buffalo wings and maybe cheesy nachos. I also like just the classic barbecue from pork to sausages.

The first few questions were pretty much related to the restaurant, but the succeeding started to get puzzling, in Gabrielle's point of view. Still, even if she was reluctant, she answered them honestly. Question: How did you find the ambiance? Do you think it was romantic enough? If you were to set up your own romantic date, where and how would you want it?

Answer: The ambiance is amazing. It's good for one or two dates, but it's just not my personality to be in such a formal place. I prefer a date in the outdoors, like the beach or the mountains! You do have an amazing view of the bay, which is also something that I like.

Question: If we were to sweep you off your feet, like a man would take your breath away, where could we possibly bring you to the most heart-warming special place? Please specify and you can always go big Gabrielle raised a brow at that. She ended up looking at the restaurant staff, but seeing the lady smile, she just answered while giggling at herself.

Answer: Well, I had always dreamed about going to Greece. Do you have a branch there? Haha. You said to go big!

Question: We may want to set up a special event for you one day, so we hope you can share with us a few more of your favorites. 1. What's your favorite color?

Answer: Blue

Question: Which particular shade of blue is your favorite? From the color wheel below, please choose the intensity and the specific hue.

Gabrielle wound up choosing two variations of blue: Sapphire and Turquoise blue.

Question: What is your favorite flower(s)?

Answer: I love roses, but I also adore tulips.

Question: What are the chances that we could connect you to your destiny? We'd be happy to give it a try. What is your ideal man, the kind that you would want to spend your life with? Please be very, very detailed.

Gabrielle's eyes widened. She bit her lip and turned to the restaurant staff again. However, seeing how the lady just smiled and urged her to answer, she sighed and went on.

Answer: Well, I like my life partner to be absolutely gorgeous... haha. just like someone I just met. Someone who takes care of himself, smart and ambitious! But more than just good looks and brains, I need someone to stay true to me and would love me unconditionally. I have been taking care of myself for so long and it would be great to have someone take care of me, for once.

Gabrielle did not know why, but she felt herself turn emotional answering the question. In her heart, she was half tired of all her struggles. Somehow, deep inside, she did wish that there would be that someone to aid her in her future endeavors.

After answering a few more questions, she handed the tablet to the restaurant staff and said, "The questionnaires are pretty cheesy and some are irrelevant, but I like the idea of getting to know your customers better. You keep things private, right?"

"Oh, absolutely, Miss Taylor. We are, aiming for a Michelin Star rating after all. Thank you for answering truthfully and I will give your feedback to our manager," said the lady before leaving. Soon after, Kyle returned to his seat.

Gabrielle just smiled at him and told him about the survey. She revealed, "Kyle, if I had known any better, someone might be asking about me. The questionnaire seemed to be more personal for a restaurant survey."

However, Gabrielle saw how the lady handed the tablet to the restaurant manager, who happened to be a good-looking man, and she assumed, "Oh, my gosh! It must be his idea. Aww... How cute. Pfft!" Kyle's eyes narrowed, looking at her.

"Kinda weird, but cute," she added, still gazing at the restaurant manager. After a second, she declared, "I wonder if he will take me to Greece, though."

"I'm sure it's not the case... and no, he is not taking you... anywhere," Kyle assured her. His eyes further tightened, and Gabrielle swore he had this intense aura around him.

"Is... Everything, okay?" She asked, utterly worried. "I was just... joking."
