"Call him Mr. CEO from now on," Anna told Ria who was waiting in the lounge, anxiously.
"Thank God!" Ria sighed in relief and smiled.
"And, congratulations, Kyle," she added, giving a hug to him.
"Thanks sis" Kyle thanked her.
Not so long after that, Aiden entered the lounge and his eyes instantly fell on Anna whose eyes were twinkling as she looked at Kyle and Ria who were hugging each other. Her eyes are gentle and there is a full blown smile on her face.
Seeing Anna happy lightened his mood and even his lips curved up.
Kyle noticed that Aiden was waiting for him and he couldn't help but thank Aiden over and over again.
Not only had he supported him but also came forward to help him by acting as the personal advisor.
"That's fine, Kyle. I am rooting for you, got it?" Aiden said, patting Kyle's shoulders.
"I won't disappoint you, Mr. Fletcher." Kyle promised.
"That's the spirit" Aiden let out a chuckle. This boy is not as bad as he thought.
"By the way, there will be another meeting after lunch. It will be a short and simple, official introduction and signing some papers." Aiden added.
Kyle nodded his head. "I will be there", he said.
"You will have to attend it with your personal secretary," Aiden specifically said.
"Isn't it how it always has been?" Kyle asked.
"Yes. As your secretary is new, you have to introduce her to everyone" Aiden said.
Meanwhile, Anna couldn't help but smirk.
This man!!
"Mr. Fletcher, you have to apologize to her for yesterday's misunderstanding. You manhandled her" Ria was the one who spoke. She knows that this man is formidable but she can't let Anna be in disadvantage either.
'Yesterday, I almost believed that this woman had become obedient. It seems like I am wrong. She is feisty like always!' Aiden thought.
Although everyone believes that Adrianna, the eldest miss of the Danvers family is good for nothing, a spoiled brat with loads of attitude and princess syndrome, he has slightly different thoughts.
She is not as that worthless and stupid as others labeled her as. He has come across the opposite version of her a couple of times. He could tell that Adrianna (Ria) has some mysteries of her own.
"Ms. Danvers, your friend was the one who acted suspicious. It's not my fault that I suspected her" Aiden answered.
And, before Ria could say anything, the former secretary of their grandfather called both Kyle and Ria.
"Whatever the reason could be, you must apologize to my friend, Mr. Fletcher," Ria told Aiden and then walked out of the room.
The rumor is that Ria and Aiden hate each other to their core and that they are not on good terms. But many people striked it off saying that it is just a rumor. They felt like Adrianna (Ria) doesn't deserve to even speak with Aiden let alone have a rift with him.
This is one of the reasons why others call her a spoiled, arrogant heiress.
Who would fight with the country's most eligible bachelor?? 'It could be that she is trying to get his attention…'
But at the end of the day, there is nothing between Aiden and Ria.
Ria and Kyle followed the old secretary out leaving only Aiden and Anna in the room.
Aiden smiled inside and then looked at Anna who was abruptly interested in surfing the internet.
He walked towards her, step by step, taking his own time. And, by every inch he got close to her, Anna could feel her heart thumping loudly.
He, at last, stopped when he was a few inches away from her.
After observing her for a few seconds, he bent his face down to her level and whispered in a husky voice, "I got into an accident because of you. So, I guess you has to be the one to apologize"
When Anna heard this, she didn't know whether to yell at him or beat him up. He is as shameless as before and his reluctance to apologize to someone has not changed at all.
Anna lifted her head to look at the man who had a foolish smile on his lips. All of a sudden her anger dissipated. Tears welled up instantly as some memories flooded her mind. How could he act like nothing happened between them?
Shouldn't he be angry and agitated like her?
His attitude right now is only implying that he has moved on!!!
When Aiden saw her with tears brimmed in her eyes, he felt his heart stop for a second.
He could never bear to see her cry..
And, as she is because of him, it made him more sad and depressed.
'Did I say anything bad, now? I am just trying to talk to her,' he thought.
"An.." before Aiden could say a word, Anna's phone started to ring.
Anna was startled at first but she later thanked the person who called her in her heart.
If she stays here even for a minute more, she might even crumble and start crying like a crybaby.
"I...I need...need to ta..take..this" Anna stammered with her words, her eyes set on the floor. As soon as she said that, she sprinted out of the lounge.
