Nathan: "President Morgan, Since I was with Chairman Morgan during last year's vacation, I had heard Former President Cooper and young madam President discussing with Chairman Morgan, Madam and Second young master. Young madam President will be studying in college and will be attending the evening college of fashion designing course.

First two years, she will be doing an internship related to fashion. During the final year graduation and two-year master's program, she will start working as a part-timer or an intern in the Skyline branch with the studies. Young Madam President's plan is to work as a normal employee making her way up in three years before taking over here."

​​

Nathan who thought Alan might ask about details but heard, "Scat."

Nathan couldn't understand why he was angry but he left the office room.

Alan couldn't believe Aria had no plan to visit Country A during the holidays either.

It was like five years she wouldn't be there in his life.

He had thought she would return and work in Skyline headquarters before taking over but it wasn't. She had a completely different plan and take over from him when she returns.

As he got to know one by one, it only made him difficult to agree.

He tried to disperse his thoughts and worked. Many executives and Nathan got screwed badly for their simple and smallest mistake due to Alan's terrible mood.

Alan was working overtime when he received a call from Isaac.

"Alright." He just responded a single word hearing him and left the office.

---

Aria who had left Morgan industries didn't know where to go.

She knew Amelia and Rowan would be worried if they hear about them. Since Eva was staying in her home so going to the Cooper mansion wasn't required.

While thinking, she got a call from Calvin. Hearing him, Aria agreed and went to meet him at a cafe.

Aria didn't show anything on her face and spoke generally. As they continued, he took about her education.

Aria replied about her plan.

Calvin responded in admiration. "Little sister, it's hard to get heiress like you. Everybody wants to enjoy what their parents did and hear you are thinking to prove your worth."

Aria just smiled without response.

Calvin asked, "Is President Morgan really letting you go for five long years?... I don't think he will agree."

Aria looked at him but had no answer, "Why?"

Calvin nonchalantly responded, "Little sister, Long distance relationship isn't as easy as it sounds. Upon that my little sister is so beautiful. Many will try to get you."

"Basically it's about trust." Aria mumbled before asking, "When girls trust their man, why can't the man trust too?"

Calvin chuckled hearing her, "Little sister, you are very innocent. You know, that's the reason why girls always get cheated on... (ahem) Don't worry, your man will not do that."

Aria bitterly smiled. She already told Alan nobody could take his place if he still doesn't trust her, she had no way either.

They continued to talk for a little more time before dispersing. Aria's mood was awful hence she entered the nearest karaoke club and took the whole private room for herself.

She didn't know how many songs she heard and how much she drank either. She used the washroom and was returning back, she entered the wrong room which was crowded.

Aria turned to exit, her bodyguard opened the door to bring her out, "Young madam, your room is next door."

Aria nodded and left.

Isaac was in the same room which was the celebration dinner of his recent movie. He saw Aria exiting with her bodyguard.

He bid the Director and left for Aria's room. Her bodyguards knew Isaac hence they didn't stop him.

Isaac saw more than a dozen beer glasses on the table and Aria trying to change the song. He had thought she might be with friends but didn't expect her to be alone.

He was still digesting what he just saw, Aria saw him, "Isaac, look. I can't change the song. Change for me please..."

Isaac smiled seeing her sound adorable. He realized Aria was drunk seeing her being too cute and innocent passing the remote.

He changed the song and heard Aria clapping for it. He couldn't control it and chuckle.

Drunk Aria was just a little kid.

He made her sit and asked the wrong question, "Why are you drinking alone?"

Aria became quiet. She didn't open her lips and kept pressing the calling button until a waitress rushed in.

"I want two... no... five beer."

The waitress courteously replied and left.

Isaac tried many times but didn't get a reply and tried again, "Did you eat anything?"

Aria shook her head, "Do you distrust Eva for leaving you here and going to Country U?"

Isaac got the idea of why she was drinking, so he wanted to try to clear her mind. "Arrie, Alan wants..."

Aria looked away hearing the name and Isaac couldn't help but chuckle. He badly wanted to ask, 'Are you angry? You look so cute.'

But he went out seeing her gulp down another big glass of beer.

"Alan, Arrie is drunk. Come and pick her, I'll send the room number and address."

After hearing the response, he sent the location and room number and entered inside to see Aria finishing the third glass of beer too.

He tactfully said he wants to drink instead of stopping her directly and took the other two glasses away.

Isaac was laughing hard seeing her increase volume while trying to change the song and cover her own ears as she screamed at the monitor to lower the volume.

Thinking she would hurt her throat, he quickly lowered the volume and kept the remote of the hi-fi system away from her.

"Haaa It's so peaceful now." Aria sat back saying it.

Drunk Aria actually thought volume lowered because she asked it to lower.

Isaac's face was bright red laughing too much for a long time. Seeing her sleep on the couch, he made her sit and asked without taking Alan's name.

"What's going on little head of yours?"

Alan entered hurriedly and heard Aria.

"Isaac... Hmmm... I don't know whether I should give up or I should wait... Why can't I have a love that helps me focus on my career? A love that gives me strength when I fall weak. A love that nourishes my all hidden dreams. Otherwise, to the hell with... No no no... I'll trust him. I know he will understand me. He will..."

The rest she started mumbling laying her head on the table which Isaac didn't understand and looked at Alan's indecipherable face.

"Alan, you..."

"Thank you."

Isaac understood he was asking him to leave understanding he doesn't want to talk about them.

Isaac left their private room and went to his place.

Alan rubbed Aria's head but her first reaction was to create distance between them.

Except for Alan, nobody knew how much Aria was affected after Toby Lewis trying to defile her. The sudden unknown skin contact always freaks her out if she didn't know who was around her.

Aria identified him and harmlessly smiled poking his cheek standing on the couch.

"Are you really here? You know, yesterday I got a dream and you were sitting next to me caressing my hair but when I opened my eyes, boom, you disappeared. See since I didn't see you, you came in my dream."

Alan removed her hair strands away from her face, "Did you eat anything?" because there were only glasses on the table.

Aria blinked a few times looking at him. Alan realized she got to know he was present and she wasn't dreaming.
