Ren got dressed as well and the tension between them grew as they walked side by side carrying one marshmallow each to the car parking. Ria started a conservation several times but Ren ended it with single word not allowing her chance to continue it further.
As they reached the car parking, Darren was standing there near his Ferrari. She smiled at him and asked, "What about others?" Darren replied, "They are still packing and I have informed your friends that you will leave with my brother".
Ria nodded and took peek at Ren's face to know whether he has any objections over it. He didn't say anything and his phone rang at that moment. He stepped aside to attend it. Then Ria asked Darren, "What about my sisters?"
Darren's lips turned up into teasing smirk and said, "I will take care of them, you don't have to worry". Ria squinted her eyes at him but nodded at the end with a chuckle. She even patted his shoulder and said, "I know I can trust you". Darren rolled his eyes and said, "You know you shouldn't!"
She took a step forward and went on tip toe to pinch his left ear. He chuckled and took a few steps back. (cough) (cough) Ren coughed to let them know he was still here. She gave him a sheepish smile and then they entered the car as he opened the door for her.
.....
On other side, inside the studio Nash just called Ren to inform that everything has been packed and transportation for everyone is also ready. Ren didn't say much and ended the call. Then Nash saw Lucy and Reyan walking out of the studio. He took good look around the studio to ensure whether there is anything that needs his attention and followed them.
He kept his steps slow and steady even though something urged him to join them. They were waiting for the elevator as some office staffs just left. The VIP lift was obviously empty, he debated for a second whether to ask them or not. Before he could come up with something, Lucy saw him as she showed her full teeth.
Reyan looked back to find Nash coming there way. Her eyes widened a little while a smile found its way to her lips. Nash flashed a faint smile back as he walked to them. He asked with his straight face, "Waiting for the lift?" Lucy nodded her head and said, "Yes, brother Nash".
His smile stayed there as he asked looking at Reyan, "You guys can use VIP lift whenever you are here. It's at the end of the corridor". Reyan nodded her head and Lucy looked front and back between them. Lucy tried so hard to hide her grin when she saw Reyan nodding her head so obediently.
Without asking them or saying anything he walked past them. Reyan contemplated between following him or waiting for the lift. Nash stopped in his steps to find them staying rooted to the same spot. He looked at Reyan's eyes again and said, "Aren't you coming?"
Lucy walked past Reyan and said, "I'm coming". She gave Reyan a wink and walked forward towards Nash. Reyan followed her and they took the lift together to basement.
When they were inside the lift, Lucy asked Reyan, "Who is coming to get you?" Reyan widened her eyes in surprise because a while ago she said she will give her a ride home. Before Reyan could say anything, Lucy said, "Don't look at me like that, Tin is coming to get me. And I definitely don't want a third wheel!"
Lucy spoke so dramatically as if she was acting a scene on a play. Reyan bit back her irritation and said, "I will hire cab". Lucy thought, 'Buzz kill'. She rolled her eyes at Reyan while she shrugged back at her. Nash was standing in front of him, he kind of knew what Lucy was trying here. His lips curled up a bit but he didn't say anything.
When they reached the basement, Darren was talking to the bus driver who will be taking the staffs home. When he saw them exiting the elevator he walked to them lazily and asked, "How are you guys leaving?" Obviously the question was towards Lucy and Reyan.
Before Lucy could open her mouth a horn sounded. Her face brightened a few watts as she said, "There is my ride!" She hugged Reyan and said farewell to the others and skipped off towards Tin's car. Tin got down from the back seat and held the door for her.
He said how beautiful she was today which made her cheeks taint a little bit of red. Reyan's showed the longing of having someone for her and only her. Darren waved as the car left the Basement.
He asked Reyan, "Do you need a ride, Beautiful?" Reyan just smiled but the voice of Nash was heard, "She is coming with me". Without giving anyone a chance to agree or refuse he walked forward towards his car. Darren gave Reyan a amused smile when he said, "Bye". Reyan smiled back nervously and said, "Bye".
Nash likes to drive so he drives his car personally. His Audi TT Metallic blue car stood next to the pillar majestically as he walked to it gracefully with one hand in his pocket.
He opened the passenger door first and waited for Reyan. When she walked closre to him he found him to be taller than he usually seems to be. Nash is not too small but shorter than Ren by a foot. But next to Reyan he is definitely taller as she is the shorter one of the whole family.
Reyan silently entered the front seat for some reason she was feeling nervous. Nash walked to the other side and took the driver seat. He said, "Seat belt". Reyan didn't here him clearly. "What?", She asked. He looked into her eyes as she did with him the temperature in the car changed as no one said a word.
Nash loved the way her curious eyes always widened when she was expecting something. Her emotions was completely visible in her face every single time. He said eyeing her lips, "Put on the seat belt or do you want my help?"
She shook her head immediately and put her seat belt on. The engine roar to life and soon it left the building.
