Chapter 79: A simple way to escape
Aria nonchalantly replied, "Why will I say my fianc as guardian only? Do I look like low-class people like you to keep a lie facade? I will make sure your real colors are visible to all."
Aria didn't let her continue and turned around. She held Alan's hand and crossed the road without looking at him as she thought about how to speak about her.
Alan didn't expect her to call him as fianc instead of a boyfriend or lover. His affectionate gaze didn't leave her and followed her. She left his hand and was going towards the shotgun seat, Alan pulled her to embrace.
Aria's foul mood was replaced by surprise not really understanding why he suddenly hugged. "What's wrong?"
Alan didn't say anything and tightened his arms around her which irked Mian Walker who was watching them. Alan left her after some time and led her to the shotgun seat door.
Alan bent when she sat down, "I thought you will say boyf. Little President seems to be decided on marrying me."
Aria moved his head away from her ear, "When did I say I'll marry you? You were the one who said it."
Alan pecked on her cheek, "Then why are you blushing?"
Aria who thought she managed well flushed hearing him. Alan smiled resignedly and closed the door. He continued to tease for sometime before asking about the girl Aria spoke.
When they reached the Morgan mansion, Amelia and Rowan were watching business news. Aria and Alan went to their rooms. Aria got fresh and searched Rian but he wasn't home.
She was sitting with Rowan and Amelia waiting for Rian who wasn't receiving her calls, wasn't replying to her messages either.
Amelia handed her a plate of fruits, "Go and eat with Alan."
"Huh? Alan must be working. I don't think he will eat." Aria replied glancing at the door.
"That's why I'm sending you. Go go." Amelia knew if she sends with a maid or if she goes, he would send it back without eating so she asked Aria.
"Mum, I'm waiting for Rian." Aria was reluctant.
Amelia rubbed her head dotingly as she said, "I will ask him to see you before he goes to bed. Alright?"
Aria faintly smiled and went to eat with Young Master Morgan. She knocked on the study room before entering but he wasn't there. She knocked on his room door and waited but heard, "Yes?"
Aria pushed open the door to see Alan working on his laptop. "Young Miss Cooper at your service."
Alan's lips tilted up hearing Aria's voice. He turned in his swivel chair to see Aria showing the fruit platter. He gestured her to enter.
Aria entered as she said, "Mum sent fruits for us to eat. Are you busy?"
"Ms. President, you don't have to ask permission to enter my room." Alan fed her as he spoke looking at her.
"Oh!" She saw him going through Skylines's overseas report. "You have to work so much because of... Alan... My ear!... Leave leave... I will not worry... Callous President."
Alan left her ear after hearing her chide. He couldn't understand why she couldn't live a carefree life.
Seeing her pout in displeasure rubbing her ear, he smiled resignedly and made her sit on the desk before gently pressing on her ear as he enlightened her to live a blitheful life before she takes over Skyline Industries else she wasn't allowed to work.
Aria eyed him suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you are trying to spoil me mollycoddling so that I shouldn't think about leaving you? What's going on in the head of yours?"
Alan chuckled, "Savvy!" and went back to his work.
Aria grinned, "What will you do from Monday? I know Pop is kicking you out." She had heard Rowan telling him to go back to his villa as Aria was still young and they shouldn't live together. Occasionally exempted.
Alan glanced at her and continued to type, "Unfeeling girl! Shouldn't you be sad seeing me leave? Why are you so happy?"
Aria stuffed apple to his mouth and giggled, "I agreed too soon. Let me see the efforts of Alan Morgan..." She patted on his shoulder, "... Don't disappoint me." She giggled and ate mandarin looking at his astonishment.
Aria continued to pull his leg as she fed him and she ate until she got a call from Eva. Alan too joined their facetime when Aria wanted to leave him to work.
Aria added Isaac when Eva mentioned about his new movie that she wants to watch. Aria introduced, "Isaac, she is Eva who I was mentioning while talking."
Before Eva or Isaac, Alan spoke, "The God of our Goddess."
Aria facepalmed herself, Eva was blank. Isaac was laughing, "So My wife's wifey has a hubby too."
Eva started chuckling, "So Prince has a husband. Hello Mr.Ross. I'm..."
Aria cut in, "Hooo! When did Hottie Ross change to Mr.Ross? Eva, don't tell me you are trying to sound formal. Are you trying to impress Isaac like a demure lady?"
Eva flushed. Whenever they watched his shirtless scenes of movies in theatres, Eva always said 'Hottie Ross, stop giving us sleepless nights.'
Isaac wasn't sure what to say seeing Eva flush. Alan spoke to manage, "Ms.Miller! Your wife taking revenge for teasing her."
Aria was dumbfounded, "Are you my... on my side or your love rival's side? I'm going to Isaac... Isaac, see how your wife abandoned me."
Alan saw her blush before changing her own question. He didn't expect her to be so bashful.
Isaac took Aria's side, "I want my investor. Ms.Investor! Are you happy with the new movie's box office collection? I will not abandon you, I will ask the director to contact you for the next movie investment too."
They continued to tease each other and talk for sometime before hanging up the call.
Alan leisurely commented, "Ms.Miller and Isaac make a good match. Your intention of making them talk before letting them meet on the trip is on point."
Aria was surprised and bent to his height who was sitting on the chair, "Wow!" She knocked on his head gently, "You turned out to be a smart man. How did you guess what I was thinking?"
She just wanted to see if they could really work out but she wasn't serious as matchmaking doesn't work most of the time.
She hadn't told that to anybody because it was just her thought but she was really impressed by how Alan found out even though their talk never went to that topic.
Alan pulled her to him which made her fall on him. Their forehead was touching each other.
He noticed her holding the breath widening her eyes. A small move of his head made their nose touch making her blush.
Aria's heartbeats were rasing as his warm breath grazed her skin. She felt her cheeks burn by looking at Alan who gazed her lips before looking her in the eye.
Just by hearing her say as a fiance, he had hugged her on the road for more than a minute. So she knew why he suddenly pulled her to him. When Eva asked what they would do if they didn't have Oliver's will and the proof of Lucas Cooper's imprisonment, Aria had analyzed before replying to her,
'Since Alan is 22, Females over 18 years old could marry with their guardians' consent before turning 20. We would have pushed the court hearing for two and a half months and married. A simple way to escape.'
She didn't expect Alan's reaction to that extent.
Aria tried to move back but Alan pressed her down and their lips touched.
