Chapter 224

Author: Cloud Drop
"My mother originally said it was just a family dinner. I only went to see what was going on."

He was genuinely explaining himself.

Honestly, Aria just wanted to know where he stood.

She knew Archer was pretty innocent in all this. After all, he'd been genuinely cold toward Kandice, which made her feel like maybe she was being unreasonable.

Just as he was about to say something else, his warm lips brushed the corner of her mouth. "So are we done fighting?"

His voice was rough velvet against her skin.

"We're done..." Aria's face was still flushed.

Nestled against his chest, she noticed his shirt was half-unbuttoned, only a few buttons remaining near the hem—casualties of their earlier kissing session.

Her cheek pressed intimately against his exposed chest while her fingers playfully threaded through the empty buttonholes on his shirt, in and out.

"I saw how much Kandice likes you, the way she looked at you with pure worship. I hated seeing her look at you like that." Given the

    “Wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back,” Archer said softly. His voice was low, almost murmured into her ear. But if the manager had been paying attention, he would’ve caught a bit of it.The manager, who had been pretending not to look, froze. That gentle tone completely threw him off. Archer Duncan? Speaking like that?Since Archer’s back was turned, the manager couldn’t see his expression clearly. But still—his girlfriend looked young. Really young.Archer gave Aria’s hand another squeeze, only letting go once she was comfortably seated. Then he turned and walked over to continue the meeting.A few minutes later, Kent came in with refreshments for Aria—some snacks and a drink. Since she’d be heading home for dinner soon, she didn’t eat much.Seated quietly, Aria looked around Archer’s office. It was minimalist, clean, and straightforward—everything visible at a glance. But there was a small door leading to what must’ve been a private lounge. That room probably held the per

    “Okay,” Aria nodded sweetly, her fingers gently tightening around his. That one sentence from him made her heart feel warm and light.As soon as they stepped into the elevator and the doors slid shut, Archer pulled her into his arms. He let go of her hand only to wrap both arms snugly around her waist.“Be good. Let me kiss you,” he murmured against the corner of her eye, his breath hot against her lashes and temple.His lips brushed softly across her pale cheek, lingering, savoring the feel of her skin—smooth like warm silk, impossible to resist. The heat of his mouth followed the curve of her face, moving slowly and deliberately.Since this was his private elevator, leading straight to his floor, Aria didn’t bother to resist. Her cheeks burned under his touch. She instinctively tilted her head up, only to be met with his lips before she could fully catch his gaze.The kiss came deep and unhurried, pressing and grinding into her until she was breathless.Only when he finally let

    The CEO’s face, usually cold and impassive—practically screaming “keep your distance”—softened the instant his eyes landed on Aria.For the first time, the staff saw a gentle smile tug at the corner of his lips. Even his sharp, deep-set eyes—normally so intimidating no one dared meet them—now held a warm glow. His gaze softened ever so slightly.The change was subtle. But precisely because he was usually so unreadable, even the smallest shift stood out like a flare.Some of the staff present had also witnessed how Archer treated Lila before—utterly indifferent, colder than ever, as if he didn’t even remember who she was. Compared to that, this was like night and day.Mouths dropped open. Eyes widened. A few employees even started texting their coworkers to get downstairs now.But Aria didn’t notice any of it.The moment she saw Archer, it was like the rest of the world vanished.She froze when she saw him heading toward her with those long, purposeful strides. Her heart skipped.

    “Mrs. Duncan, aren’t you going upstairs?” Kent asked when he saw Aria lingering in the lobby.Aria glanced at her watch and shook her head. “I’ll just wait here. He’s almost off work anyway, and I don’t want to interrupt if he’s still in the middle of something.”After all, Archer had already turned down several work-related matters on her behalf.Kent didn’t press the issue. Instead, he quickly had someone bring her a cup of tea before stepping aside to make a call. He walked to a quiet corner and dialed Archer’s number. “Boss, Mrs. Duncan’s here. She’s waiting in the lobby. Said she didn’t want to bother you while you’re working.”“She just got there?” Archer’s calm voice came through the phone.“Yes.” Kent hesitated, then lowered his voice after glancing back to make sure Aria wasn’t paying attention. “She was asking me about your birthday the whole way over.”Archer’s dark brows lifted slightly. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly masked it. Across

    “If that’s the case, then Aria’s not really that talented, is she? Sounds like she just landed those deals by cozying up to the client.” Mandy sneered, clearly bitter.The woman standing beside her glanced over. She didn’t want to get on Aria’s bad side. Mandy was new and didn’t know many people yet, let alone have any real connections. Aria, on the other hand, was close friends with Christina—and if that relationship continued, there might even be opportunities to collaborate in the future. Hadn’t Christina just gotten a leg up because of Aria?Compared to Aria, Mandy didn’t even come close.So the colleague said calmly, “Whatever the case, if she’s with Mr. Duncan, she’s not just anybody.”“Whether he’s serious about her or not, it doesn’t matter. Just being involved with a man like him? She’ll come out ahead no matter what.” And with that, the woman walked off, clearly uninterested in continuing the conversation.Mandy kept her eyes fixed on the street. The Range Rover had long

    Because she had kissed him first, Aria was now trembling all over. She looked absolutely mortified. The second those words left her mouth, she buried her face in his neck and refused to come out again.She thought she heard Archer let out a quiet chuckle.…Suddenly, her phone rang.“Ugh…” Aria groaned and gave him a little push. “I need to get that.”Archer didn’t budge. Instead, he tightened his arms around her and pulled her even closer.“It’s from home,” she added. “I set a special ringtone for family calls.”Only then did he release her. Aria grabbed the phone from the nightstand and answered. “Hello?”“…James? What’s up?”“Ask your husband when he’s free. Mom says she wants to cook and have him over for dinner,” James said over the line. “I’ve mostly talked her into it. She’s still a little hung up on pride, but sooner or later, we all need to sit down together. It’ll give her a chance to talk to both of you, get a feel for your relationship, and understand Archer a bit
