“Well, it appears that someone was not pleased to see you today.” Nicholas said as they strolled outside the building.

Aria narrowed her brows, “Who?”

“Mr. Lucas,” he answered, “Now seize being lovey-dovey and get back to work!” he mimicked.

Aria laughed, “He sounded exactly like that.”

Nicholas laughed as well.

“So you are trying to tell me you guys don't know each other? I mean, I have a feeling something is going on between you two.” he said.

“You don't believe me?” Aria asked.

“I do, I really do, Aria.”

“Thanks for the flowers anyways. I couldn't thank you earlier due to–” she paused, “–you know, that man.” she added, holding the flowers with her hands.

“Yeah, right. I heard about your leg and I couldn't get through to you, so I had to at least show that I care by getting you this.”

“That is so nice of you.” Aria replied with a smile.

When she was about to go, he stood in front of her.

“Would you mind accompanying me to the park this weekend? It would be a great time

    Aria sat by her dressing table, applying her makeup when she heard a knock on the door.“Good morning ma'am,” Mr. Adrian said when she opened the door.“Good morning, Mr. Adrian,” Aria said back, then asked, “what brings you here this morning?”“Mr Blackwood would like to have breakfast with you,” he said.Damien? Breakfast?? Aria thought. It felt strange.What was he up to?“I will be down in a few minutes.” she said to him.“Alright ma'am,” Mr. Adrian said and bowed before leaving.A few minutes later, Aria descended down the stairs and into the dining hall. It is a dining room, but it is large enough to accommodate up to fifty people. In other words, it could be regarded as a banquet hall.When Aria entered the dining room, she noticed Damien seated at the head of the table. His back was straight and he was staring straight ahead, at nothing. Aria took a moment to marvel at his perfect side profile. She could not help but notice his nicely bridged nose and perfectly shaped lips.“

    “Yes?” Aria stopped and turned.“I actually got–” then he paused and said, “nevermind. You can leave.”After she left, Mr. Adrian entered the office. When he noticed the flowers still sitting on the table, he knew what had happened.“Why didn't you tell me she had a bouquet in hand?” Damien asked with a cold tone.“I actually wanted to tell you, but you dismissed me quickly.” the aide answered.Damien slammed his palm against the table.“Fuck!” he exclaimed, “that Nicholas of a guy is gradually making me lose my patience!”“Do you want to do anything to him?” Mr. Adrian asked.Damien quickly raised his hand, “Let him be. I haven't gotten enough reason to clear him out.”“Yes sir,” he said, then pointing to the flower, he quickly added, “what do you suggest I do to the flower?”Damien looked at it and said, “Take it away, give it to your wife or whoever you deem fit. I don't want to see it here.”“Yes, sir!” his aide replied as he exited with the bouquet and a smile.

    Aria returned to work after several days of recuperation at home. She strode to her desk in her stilettos after greeting some coworkers who were concerned enough to inquire about her health.As she sat down, she realized she had not seen Nicholas. Unlike before, he would be one of the first to greet her.She looked around and even stood to check his desk, but he was not present. Where could he possibly be? She asked herself as she turned on her computer to start working.Suddenly, she felt someone tap her from behind. She abruptly turned to see Nicholas with his usual smiley face.“What are you hiding there?” she asked when she caught him concealing something behind his back.“Ta-da!” he exclaimed, presenting her with the bouquet of pink peonies he had gotten for her.Aria stared in amazement as she accepted the gift.“You got this for me?” she asked, despite knowing it was for her.Nicholas responded with a nod.“I hear you twisted your ankle; are you better now?” He inquired.“Of c

    Aria's gaze was glued to her phone screen. Why was Nicholas calling? She wanted to pick it but couldn't.What if Damien finds out? So she ignored the call and placed her phone on her bedside table.Nicholas, in contrast to Damien, was completely different. She had come to adore his admirable personalities, but one thing she could not do was go against Damien or their signed agreement.Damien, on the other hand, is an arrogant and cold man, but somehow she finds herself quickly drawn to him. Was it the way he made her feel, or his physical attractiveness? Aria could not say; all she knew was that something about him drew her in, as if they were somehow connected.After hours of thinking, Aria decided that she needed to clear her thoughts. She walked out of her room and headed towards the rooftop where she believed she would be able to clear her mind.The late-night breeze brushed past her skin, sending shivers down her spine as she made her way to one corner of the place.But before

    Aria walked carefully down the stairs into the living room after Damien had gone to his room.She was almost halfway through when Mr. Adrian noticed her and rushed to help her down.“Thank you,” she said when she finally got down.“May I ask when you need ma'am, you don't have to go through all this to get what you want.” he said to her.“I heard a shout from my room, so I came out to check,” she said, then looked towards her husband's room and asked, “Is he all right?”“Yes, ma'am,” the aide replied, glancing in the direction she was pointing.Aria said nothing but stared at him with a 'spill-it-all' expression.“Okay, he actually had a serious talk with his father over an important meeting he declined. My Blackwood was really angry.” he explained to her.“Mr. Damien would never decline business meetings; did something go wrong?” she inquired.“He had to cancel our planned trip for the aforementioned meeting in order to ensure your well-being.” Mr. Adrian elucidated.“What?!” she exc
