Amelia was annoyed and opened door to enter inside as she spoke, "Hey! If not me who will support our com... Rowan... leave..." Rowan pulled his wife out as she continued, "... our company dramas. You watch them and learn too."

Alan smiled resignedly and pushed the door to close. He went next to Aria and scratched her cheek gently to see her scrunching her browns, rubbing her cheek and flipping another side. He kept his voice low and asked near her ear.

​​

"Am I boring?" His deep magnetic voice sounded.

He heard a faint voice indicating no.

"Interesting?" He heard her hum which brought a smile on his smile, "Fascinating!"

He heard her hum again and chuckled to try again, "Ugly?"

He didn't hear anything and was getting up he heard her groggily say snuggling on the bed, "Nooo"

He found her fascinating than himself. To let her sleep, he left kissing her forehead seeing her smile in sleep.

Alan who had ordered for checking all the places got another bug from the CEO office of the Skyline Industries.

He ordered to tighten and improve the security level which was completed after a week but they couldn't identify who was behind everything.

Aria had many visitors when she moved to the Morgan mansion. So checking each and everyone was stupidity.

When Alan casually asked about the visitors, Aria had asked, 'Did he/she came to see me?' Taken her condition in the past, Alan didn't push her to think.

Rowan and Amelia were extremely happy with his son. Even though they knew well about him, during the problem, they thought he would get annoyed and wouldn't treat Aria good but it was completely contradictory.

Alan was very careful without letting her know about the complications and was looked after her rather well.

While face-timing before sleeping, Aria asked, "Why do you want to stay in your villa? Why can't you stay in the mansion?"

Alan paused typing on the keyboard and intently looked at her, "How about living together after your birthday?"

Aria grinned before commenting, "Do I look like a sweet little lamb to follow the big bad wolf to its den?"

Alan was tongue-tied for a few seconds, "Looks like my love rival taught you too many things to keep you away from me."

Aria was giggling when Alan continued, "You are my sweet little wife who actually follows me to my den. You are just being smart sitting there."

Alan knew well that her IQ goes to rock bottom around him or about the relationship and things. Aria retorted, "I'm smart. Why are sounding like I'm only being smart today?"

While both continued to argue about who was dumb, another side Eva and Isaac were battling in the virtual world as a team.

Eva had accompanied Isaac for shopping to buy a gift for Aria which turned into their movie date.

They had bought a gift and were leaving, Eva saw the new movie poster of his movie which she couldn't go for more than a week.

"Are you free? I want to watch." Eva eventually dragged him seeing him think.

It was a Romantic Comedy movie, which Eva enjoyed with her popcorn and coke. Isaac watched her in amusement seeing her enjoy because he never liked to watch his movie.

"Isaac, Is it so easy to tear shirt as in movies? I have seen it in your three movies."

Eva nonchalantly asked looking at the screen and turned to him for a response. Isaac who glanced at the screen seeing his dupe kissing scene faced her.

Eva saw the scene in his eyes where the actress clings on to drunken Isaac forcing a kiss. Eva gulped her saliva and faced the screen.

She was cursing herself when Isaac saw her turn red. His first reaction was to think of her as unwell. "What's wrong? Are you fine?... Eva? Are you cold?"

He kept his backhand on her forehead to realize she was warm but her face turned even red seeing the scene which was two shadows of kissing and the same man next to her.

Eva knew well they were dupes but her mind kept wandering.

Isaac panicked getting no response, removed his face mask and shook her to face him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you turning so red? Are you suffocating here?"

Seeing his handsome face getting tensed, in a hurry to calm him, Eva blurted out, "No... no... I thought to kiss..."

Both felt like everything go mute freezing in their position. The first to react was Eva who ran away.

Ran away as fast as he could.

Eva couldn't believe she just sold herself. After exiting the movie hall, she realized that she could have managed to say something stupid instead of running away. By fleeing, she confirmed what she said.

She was too late and could only run away from him.

Isaac was stationary seeing her exit letting his brain work harder. He reacted when a neighboring couple laughed at him saying, 'His girlfriend must be scared and ran away seeing him trying to kiss.'

Well, he was sitting on half seat turning towards an empty seat giving them such illusion.

He quickly wore his mask and bolted out to see the deserted exit area. He had picked her from her home so he called her quickly.

His call was rejected thrice hence he dropped a message, "How are you going home? I'll drop you back."

Eva looked at her mobile in bewilderment in the cab. "Seriously? I almost told I like you and You! Dumb man, you are cared about how I'll reach home."

The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror to realize she was talking to herself loudly. "Miss. Were you rejected before proposing?"

Eva snorted, "You can say that."

She didn't reply letting Isaac stand on the floor full of nails.

He paced for a long time before messaging again, "Eva, are you safe? Did you reach home?"

Eva gritted her teeth, 'Are you getting rid of me? Cool.' She replied, "I reached home."

Eva who was embarrassed was fuming in rage. She took bath, had dinner being grumpy and went to her room.

She controlled her urge to call Aria many times and opened a video game. She invited her video game friend to play, she battled against monsters cursing Isaac.

...

Isaac sighed a breath of relief seeing her message and left to the parking. After sitting in the car, he remembered about kiss seeing the shotgun seat where Eva was sitting.

He had lots of questions and the important one was 'Does she like me too?'

He wanted to ask her but was scared he might be overthinking. He tried himself to bury the incident thinking she was just influenced by the scene and was embarrassed to face him.

Being well mannered, he didn't want to put her in a difficult situation by asking.

'What if she likes me too?' question made him give work to his brain.

He tried to divert his mind and opened a game to see a message, "Let's raid a dungeon" from his video game friend.

Eva and Isaac chatted about the game and gamed till late night until Isaac bid her and went to bed without knowing about each other.
