Chapter 92Damian had gone out station for some work, and he was returning today. He had missed Aria so much that he could not wait to see her.The moment his feet touched the ground, he dialed her number, but the call did not go through.“Strange,” Damian muttered.It was very rare for Aria to switch off her phone, especially when she knew that he would be back today from his business trip. She had been looking forward to his return, so why was her phone off?Did something happen when he was away? But that was not right. They spoke before he boarded the plane, and Aria told him that she had an interview to attend and later on, she would be attending a birthday party.“Timmy, where is Aria at the moment?” Damian called his assistant and asked.He had left him behind to be in charge of everything, but his main priority was Aria's safety.“Boss, Missus went to Mrs. Joylin’s son's birthday party. I have been so busy in the office that I haven’t had time to check up on her. But I sent a f
Chapter 91Layla walked over and looked at Aria. Seeing her sorry state made her heart palpitate in excitement. She never expected that Joylin would take action as soon as she said anything.Layla adjusted her expression and walked over. Seeing that everyone could not wait for the drama to unfold, she spoke to Aria, “Aria, I have told you so many times that Damian and I were engaged since we were little, but you never believed me. I never wanted this to happen, but you pushed me into a corner.”“What?” Everyone gasped.So, Aria had come between Damian and Layla.Aria looked at Layla with wide eyes. She could not believe her ears.“Aria, I can’t tolerate someone as shameless as you. If I had known that you had such vile behavior, I wouldn’t have allowed you to set foot into this place. Now, get lost.” Joylin said angrily.But Layla stopped her. The show has just begun, so how could she let Aria leave just like that?“Joy, wait. I know she might think that I am speaking nonsense. I want
Chapter 90Ever since the fashion show competition, Spirit has received a lot of exposure. Aria, as the founder of Spirit, had been invited to a lot of media companies for interviews.Many people also wanted to know if she would be signing up with a modeling agency since she could model so well.“It has never been my dream to be in the limelight or to become a model. Once I discovered my mom’s unfinished dream, I just wanted to be a designer and showcase her talent to the world. I think that I will stick to that for the time being.”“Hmm, that is wonderful. Your mother must be very proud of you.”“I hope she is. I never got a chance to know her, and I hope that she is happy wherever she is.”“Will you be showcasing any new work? Everyone seems to be eagerly waiting for your next designs.”“Justin and I have a few designs coming up. I hope that people will like them and they will support us.”“Oh, that is very wonderful.”The interview went on smoothly. After she was done, she left to
Chapter 89On the way home, Aria sat in the car quietly. She did not say anything as she looked in front with a serious face.Damian knew that she was very angry, and he could not blame her. Maybe if he had been open with her from the very beginning, none of this would have happened.“Aria, aren’t you going to say anything?” Damian asked.Aria did not answer. She did not even look at him.Their ride was filled with stifling silence. Seeing that Damian was about to take a turn and drive to his mansion, Aria finally spoke up, “Take me to my apartment, please.”Damian was about to say something, but he did not know where to start. It would have been good if Aria had expressed her anger towards him. But if she kept quiet like that, he did not know what to do with her.When they reached the parking lot, Damian was about to accompany Aria to her house, but she stopped him, “You don’t have to bother. I can take care of myself.”“Aria, please listen to me. It is not really what you think.”Ar
Chapter 88Aria had just reached the door when she heard the exact same statement. She took a deep breath before she entered the room.She was about to head to her seat, but she realized that Layla was sitting there. She stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do.Pat looked at her and spoke, “Aria, come on and sit down. We were just about to have fun.”Aria looked at Damian. The man was sitting there without saying anything. It looked like he was really enjoying the company of his childhood friend.There was no extra seat in the room, so she figured that she might as well leave. “You guys have fun. I will be leaving. I have a very important proposal to take care of tomorrow, and I am afraid that I can’t continue to keep you company.”“Why are you leaving so suddenly? Don’t you want to wait for Damian?”Sandra looked at Pat and sneered, “Let her leave if she wants to, or do you want her to sit on your head? Her seat has been occupied.”It was only then that Pat noticed that Layla was sit
Chapter 87A few days later, Damian organized a party with his close friends. It was finally time to introduce Aria to his inner circle.“I have never met any of your friends. Do you think that they will like me?” Aria asked as she tried on the dress. It was one of the Spirit designs, and it was yet to be launched in the market.Damian hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He looked at her through the mirror, and his gaze was filled with love, “Of course, they are bound to like you. Whoever doesn’t like you has a problem with their head.”“Haha, darling, if your friends heard you talk about them like that, won’t they be heartbroken?”“You are very beautiful. I am so glad that we crossed paths. I would still be leading the same boring life if we hadn’t met.”Aria held his arms that were hugging her waist and giggled, “I am the lucky one. You really did a lot for me. You helped walk out of my painful past, and you were patient enough to help me heal. If it were som
