Aria reminisced her kiss with Noah and blushed furiously. She couldn't stop thinking about it, about him. A few months back, if somebody had told her that she would be dating the most eligible bachelor of the country, then she would have laughed at their faces. But right now, when it was actually becoming true, she did not know how to react.

Aria rolled on the bed thinking about the time she had spent with him. Everything was like a dream, a beautiful dream. Her cell phone rang at that moment, interrupting her thoughts.

"Hey Ivy."

"Hey Ari. Wassup?"

"Came to my room just now. Everything is going good here." Aria thought for a while whether to tell Ivy about her and Noah. But stopped herself as they were still very new to the relationship.

"Aria, I have somethings to tell you."

"What?"

"I have got some clues on what Dad was covering before he went missing."

"Is it?"

"Yes. I searched and found out that all the hospitals that were involved in the scandal were closed immediately except for one."

"Which one?"

"Royal Medical Hospital."

"You have got to be kidding me." Aria sat and listened intently.

"Nope. And you know what, the Director of the hospital, who the head nurse had claimed to have checked on Dad, is also the Chairman of the Royal Pharmaceuticals."

"Oh God. Is it the Royal Group?"

"Yes."

"Now what are we going to do?"

"I have a plan." Ivy spent the next twenty minutes, explaining to Aria all that she had discovered as well as what her next step would be. Aria listened to her and felt that her plan might work.

"Wait a minute. Let me talk to Ian."

"Who is Ian?' Ivy had completely forgotten about him again, although Aria had mentioned his name just a few days back.

"Ivy, he is a colleague doctor. I had told you about him."

"Okay. What do you want to talk to him about?"

"I'll ask him if he knows anything about this Chairman of the Royal Group."

"Hmm. That would be good. Maybe he would know."

"Yeah. I'll talk to him right away."

"Now. Let's talk something else." Ivy said. There was a tone of playfulness in her voice.

"What do you want to talk about?'

"How far have you gone along with my idea?"

"What idea?"

"I told you to find a hot British guy. I am asking about it."

Aria bit her lip. Although she had not found herself a British guy, she had definitely got involved with someone better and more outstanding. He was more handsome and dominating than any other guy she had ever seen or heard about.

"Why are you silent, Ari? Do you have something you want to say? Oh my God. You found someone." Ivy became excited at once.

"What? No."

"I don't believe you."

"I don't care."

"Who's the guy?"

"What guy? There is no guy involved." Aria was flustered. Though she had strongly denied it, she knew Ivy had become suspicious of her.

"Ari, I have known you since we were in our mother's womb. You cannot lie to me."

Aria sighed. Ivy was right. She was very bad at lying. Anybody could detect it easily.

"I'll tell you once I return home. It's just it is too early in our relationship."

"Relationship? You are in a relationship now? How far had you been in London that so many things happened?"

Aria snorted. "Ivy stop."

"Tell me Ari. Who is that guy? Is he handsome? Is he good? What's his name?" Ivy continued to tease.

"I am going to cut the call. Now Bye. Bye. Bye." Aria cut the call immediately and took a long breath.

Ivy chuckled on the other side. It was the first time that she had heard Aria stammering. She found it very entertaining. However, she was concerned about her too. It was the first time her sister was in a relationship. She had to make sure she was careful. In the matters related to dating and love, Ivy had some experience. Although it was not a lot, she was still better than Aria.

Ivy had a boyfriend when she was in college, though it didn't end up well while Aria was a complete novice in these matters. She could only wish that her sister would get a good man, not an utter jerk she had as her boyfriend a few years back.

On the other, Aria waited until she could calm her racing heart. She then dialed Ian's number. He did not pick up.

'Maybe he is busy.' Aria thought. She threw her phone on the bed and went to take a shower. She was a little tired and her muscles had gone stiff. Maybe a hot shower could relax her.

After her relaxing bath, she wore her night suit and took her phone. She called Ian again only to get the same result. He didn't pick it up.

"I'll make a call first thing in the morning." She spoke to herself and lied on the bed.

'Goodnight.' She sent a message to Noah.

Maybe it was the exhaustion or that she had not had a good sleep the previous day, she fell asleep at once. She did not even hear her phone ringing.

Noah waited until the call disconnected automatically and sighed. 'Why isn't Aria picking up the call?'

He waited for ten minutes, before he tried again. This time, Aria picked up the call on the last ring.

"Hello." She spoke groggily. Though her voice was hoarse, it sounded incredibly sexy. Blood rushed through Noah's body listening to her alluring voice.

"Hey."

"Noah?" Aria asked, still in her sleepy state.

"Yes. Were you sleeping?" Noah asked apologetically.

"Yes."

"I am sorry."

"It's okay. Why did you call?"

"I missed you."

"Whaaat? We met only a few minutes ago." Aria struggled to speak.

"Aria. I am going to give you a video call. Please pick it up."

"Okay." The phone rang within a few seconds after she disconnected it.

She accepted it and she could clearly see Noah's impeccable face. She angled her phone on the nightstand such that she could still be visible, while she did not have to carry it. She was lying face down, with her right cheek on the bed.

Noah saw her side profile and smiled. "Lazy girl."

"No."

"Yes, you don't even want to hold your phone."

He did not get any response. Aria was long gone. She was in a deep sleep. He looked at her sleeping face and smiled. She looked sweet and endearing. He did not want to miss it, so he continued to watch her.

Aria slept without any care in the world. What she did not know was that Noah had spent the entire time watching her sleep, until her phone shut down due to low battery somewhere around two at night, much to his unwillingness.
