Ariena's bedroom....
Ariena was engrossed in finding out the reason for what she did to wrong to get this kind of reaction from him. Her eyes were wide open, she was feeling drained out, so she walked to the window to look outside.
After thinking about sometime, she suddenly remembered that he had mentioned something about the reporters and other gossipers.
"Oh God..."she almost yelp, " How can I be so careless.... Stupid..." she chide herself. She can now understand his point. 'He was not degrading her but instead it was not the right time for her to act like a teenager seeing Evan out there. It was a wrong move', she thought to herself. She was always heedful about her surroundings when ever she was outside. This was the first time that she lost her conscientious.
After reprimanding herself for a few more minutes, she felt tired and sleepy, as she was relieved to know that she does do something wrong for being scolded by him. This conclusion was much better and relaxing than the disappointment she had noticed in his eyes at the stairs.
She laid down on her comfy bed and covered herself with the soft and smooth silky comforter. Before closing her eyes she again reminded herself to ask for his forgiveness the first thing in the morning.
"Next morning remember to to apologise properly to him Ariena.." she said while putting an alarm so that she can wake up early and be prepared for the morning mission.

At the study room....
Even after spending a lot of time, Andrew was still not able to come to any conclusions. He yelp loudly to free himself from all those nonsense thinking and turned to sit on his chair.
He picked some files that was send by Ron, his assistant, for his review and signatures. But still something didn't fit right he was not able to concentrate on his work. 'He should fix everything neatly before it gets out..' he thought to himself while picking up his phone and calling to his assistant, without caring to look at time, "Ron, see through every news channels, papers and other sources ,there should be no news of Ariena. The only news about her should be regarding her dress, make-up or being with ME... Got it...". He cut the line immediately after saying his piece of words.
He again started reading the papers in his hand. After going through among most of them, he closed the light to relax a little.He leaned back on his chair while closing his eyes to get some peace of mind but that was the only thing which he can't have right now because of all that had happened between Ariena and him.
He knew he'll be not able to do more work so he returned to his bedroom to retire for the day. This will be a sleepless night for him, he was sure about it.
..........
Next day Ariena wake up really early, she got freshen up and dressed herself in a palm print fit-and-flare, strapped yellow colour midi dress, which ends just above her knees. She was looking gorgeous and feminine in that beautiful dress.
She walked to the kitchen and greeted morning to everyone in her melodious voice, " Good morning to you all... what are you preparing for the breakfast..?"
Ramy was quickly came forward to assist her, "We were thinking to make it simple but nutritious as Sir had slept late last night. Bacons, sausages, french toast with some fries, roasted beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, eggs with sunny side up, oat and barely pudding and yours favourite classic french crepes with whipped cream, strawberry and blue berries..." he replied with a big smile on his face.
Ariena looked at Ramy with gratitude filled in her eyes and said politely in a very little audible voice, " Thanks... Can I help you all in today's breakfast fast... "
Ramy instantly got her hint and asked the maid to only assist her and let her do the cooking part.
Ariena was so happy that everything is going according to her plan, she readily put on her apron and get started to make a delicious breakfast. This was her way to ask for his forgiveness for her negligence towards the matters that had happened last night.
When he was confirmed that everything is settled in the kitchen and Ariena will be safe, he excused himself. He check once again all the things Andrew had asked him to pack and after being satisfied with it, he moved to monitor other maids work.
He's a really busy man in this mansion and no one can hide anything from him. He is very peculiar about each and everything. He's strict when it comes to work but have a soft heart to as he really help maids to be efficient and motivated. One could say without him this place would have been a disaster...
........
Andrew came down to the dinning area, at his usual time, all dressed up in his black colour business suit with a white shirt with light blue crystal cufflinks on it and light blue, black and white tie on.
He was startled and stopped in his track to see Ariena smiling brightly while arranging the table herself. This sight brought so much warmth in his heart, he wanted to live this moment a little longer.
Suddenly he remembered their conversation from the last night and all the tenderness in his eyes were gone. He straighten himself and walked direct to his chair.
"Good morning Sir" ,Ramy greeted him with a bow. "Today's breakfast is prepared by the Madam herself" he informed Andrew politely.
Andrew turned to look at her with his eyes wide open as if confirming from her. Ariena nodded bashfully to answer his questioning eyes.
When everything was served they both started to eat. Ariena keep on sneaking glances at him, while he was busy devouring the deliciously cooked breakfast.
She cleared her throat and asked, "Do it match with your taste..." He lifted his eyes that clearly shows pride and respect for her, while replying, "It taste awesome... I didn't know you cooked so well. You should cook often,at least whenever you have time. I would love to try more of your cooking.."
She giggled shyly listening to his comment and continued with the conversation, "Thanks... I would love to cook more often. Just to inform you this is not the first time you are tasting my handmade food, infact I have baked the cake and cookies that you said you have eaten at Stan office..."
Andrew look at her proud face and asked immediately, " Why he had your hands baked cookies and cake ?" Ariena answered smilingly, "I have given him that as thanking gift for helping me in my internship..." Andrew just hummed to her and presumed eating again.
Ariena started again with a soft voice, " Sorry for yesterday... I sincerely apologise for behaving like that and for misinterpreting your actions and words... Sorry...."
After listening to her confession, Andrew stopped eating again just stared blankly at her. Ariena was now more confused to notice the dark gloomy aura of him.
What she had done???? wrong move Ariena ...
