Aryana and Emma were waiting for a taxi when an SUV stopped in front of them. A tall muscular man got off from the passenger side.
"Marlon!" Aryana greeted cheerfully.
"Long time no see Aryana. Hop in. Your aunt is already inside."
He opened the door for them.
Aunt Elena was sitting behind Erik. Emma got in first and sat beside Aunt Elena. She did not dare to sit beside the handsome but cold man. Left with no choice, Aryana sat beside Erik.
"Are you going to the Pearl Hotel too?" She asked shyly.
"Hmmm." He hummed his attention on his tablet. "I have a business lunch there."
Aryana shifted her gaze to her aunt.
"Aunt Elena, where were you earlier? You were not in your seat."
"Denise asked me to look for her mother outside the auditorium. She said that there was still plenty of time. I'm so sorry Aryana." Her eyes have become red.
