Chapter 19 - Avoiding

Today classes went smoothly.

After classes Aylin left the University. Since there's still early she plan to go out and shop a little. When she walked out the gate she see Ethan waiting in the car on the side of the road.

Why is he here again? Don't tell me he's here to pick me up again. Oh God no....

She walked away the other side of the rose and tried to ran away from Ethan.

When Ethan see what Aylin Lui trying to avoid him his face become darker. Did she hate him that much to avoid him whenever she see him? When she's with some other men she flirt and laughs. If not because of what Leo asked us to meet with him I won't bother planning to take you go shopping.

He drive to where she went and honks the car. Aylin Lui pretend like she didn't heard anything and keep walking.

Ethan was fuming inside. How could she do this to him. He get out the car and walking toward Aylin. Since he's tall, he reach Aylin in a few steps. He grabbed Aylin hand and carried her like princess.

Aylin was so surprise. Is he crazy? Why did suddenly carrying her like a lover pampering their girlfriend like this on a street full of people? What if someone misunderstood us.

I thought he hate woman. I heard he never touch woman before. How come he suddenly act like this.

When people see what Ethan did, they envy the girl that in his arms to death. The women are falling in love with Ethan. They wish they were the one who's in his arms.

Aylin was so embarrassing to death. She buried her face on his chest.

"Put me down."

"If I put you down you're going to run away."

"I promise I won't run away. You know I'm new here. I can't run away. I don't know any place other than your place."

Well that's true too.

"Why did you avoid me ?"

"I didn't"

"I honks but you pretend like you didn't heard anything."

"I swear I didn't hear anything. There are full of people in the street. So how am I supposed to know that it's you who honks?"

She lie. She doesn't want to keep pretending like scary cat in front of him. She want to be herself and relax once in a while.

It's been a while since she live with Ethan.

She want to have some privacy for herself today. She didn't think Ethan going to show up since he's a busy person.

"Where do you plan to go on a busy street?"

"Go shopping!"

They reach Ethan car and he put her gently down in the car then he walked to the other side. He open the driver door and start driving.

Aylin Lui, "Where are we going?" That's not the way to his Mansion.

Ethan Chance, "Shopping. Leo want to see both of us tomorrow. He said he have something to say to us."

Leo have something to say to us? Both of us?

Aylin Lui was so curious what Leo have to say. She's sure that it won't be anything good. She looked out the window and breath in some fresh air.

They drove for a while and reached their destination. Both Aylin Lui and Ethan Chance get off the car. Ethan took her to the most famous and most expensive Mall.

When they walked in the Mall a few salesperson saw them, they ran up to them and greeted them.

"Good evening Master."

Ethan nodes his head and walked past them. Aylin followed behind him.

The few salesperson looked at each other in confusion. When did their master get along with a girl.

Aylin Lui, "did you come here often? They seem to know you."

"This is my building." Ethan reply to her without looking back.

It's no surprise that he own this big building. He's rich, tall, handsome, well build. Aylin Lui smiles and thought in her heart, big catch Aylin Lui. Don't let this fish slip away. She started walking faster and walked next to him.

They went in where dresses, shoes are in. Before Ethan went to pick up Aylin, he asked them to prepare clothes, shoes, jewelry for women and that he'll be there soon.

When the manager heard what his boss said he's taken aback. When did his boss found himself a woman? He snapped back to his senses and instructed the salespersons to prepare the most expensive dress, shoes, jewelry.

When their boss show up, their boss did bring a woman with him.

His employees didn't disappoint him. They choose things that their boss instructed them.

"Try then on." Ethan looked up at Aylin.

"All of them?" Aylin Lui asked in surprise.

"Yes."

" can't we choose one and go home?"

"No. What if the size is not correct? What if the color doesn't look good?"

"We can measure my size...." Before she can finish her sentence Ethan cut her off and said "Just try them all."

She doesn't want to argue with him with his employees looking at them.

Aylin Lui was sure that she'll have to try more than five dress before they go back so she take a dress without looking at it and go in the dressing room. A salesperson follow her behind. The salesperson help her get dress. She's so beautiful that the salesperson can't stop staring at her.

Aylin Lui feel weird being staring at. She then turned around and asked the sale person, "do I look weird in this dress?"

The salesperson snaps back to her senses and wave both hands, "no no no... you look too beautiful. You look like an angle." Aylin Lui just smile at the salesperson when she heard what the salesperson said.

After she done, she walked out the dressing room. Ethan was surprise to see a beautiful woman. He never imagine that she look this stunning. The dress is mid length sleeves. It was above her knee and the dress wrapped her tiny waist. The dress looks good on her since she have long silky smooth hair.

Ethan stand up grind his seat and walked up to her. He bend over and put a shoes that match with her dress.

He choose the shoes while eating for her to come out from the dressing room.

He himself doesn't realize what he had done. Without thinking he end up choosing shoes and jewelry for her that will match with her dress.

Aylin Lui, "is this dress do? Or do I need to try other dresses too?

"Don't bother trying on other dresses. You'll just dirty them. Even if you try millions then on, you'll never look good in it." He said to Aylin while avoided looking at her.

Aylin face sank after hearing what Ethan said. Can't this man pretend to said something nice to her? In his eyes, does she looks that dirty?

When Ethan employees heard what his boss said they looked at him in shocked.

Boss if you continue being mean to your girlfriend, you'll end up being single before you propose to her.

Aylin was glad she didn't have to try other dresses on. But she's doesn't looked happy when they left the store.

After they shopped, Aylin was hungry and in a ugly at the same time.

She walked out ahead of Ethan and walk really fast. When Ethan see what Aylin trying to walked away from him he grab her hand and asked, "what's wrong with you? Why did you walked away from me in a hurry?"

"Oh.... I did? Sorry, I don't remember at all."

"Are you trying to challenge me?"

"No. I'm just too hungry. I just want to go back as fast as we can so I can eat. I haven't eaten anything since lunch time."

"Why you didn't say anything if you're hungry?"

"Because I don't want to bother you. I'm sure you still have lots of things to take care of."
