Ariana strode out of the room her pace quickening with each step that she took. Though her stride was still controlled with a touch of elegance, her back which was taut as that of a string of a bow was enough to let Nicolai know that the woman was tense. Just as she was when she saw him that night.
He chased after her, with his long legs moving as quickly as possible, it did not take long for Nicolai to catch up to Ariana. He fell behind a step beside her as he remarked in a teasing manner, "It seems like someone had a hard time staying away from me. If you were missing me so much, you could have rung me up. I would have come looking for you."
"If you ever think that you need treatment for your narcissism, you can come to our hospital," Ariana flipped her hair behind her as she turned to look at Nicolai with a flaring gaze. "I am here only to bring Aiden because he was having a hard time walking, Mister De Luca. Why would I even miss you?"
