Xin gave it a thought for a few seconds, "I don't know..."

Xin never thought like he had to spend time with Aria or share such an intimate bond. He himself was confused about what she was to him that he always goes out of himself whenever he hears about her.

​​

"... I respect and admire her for what she was and how she treated me. It's just that she left a strong unerasable impression on me. I don't remember her all day long, in fact, I don't care how she looks now, I just remember about her which is in my memory."

Xoan wanted to smack his head and ask, 'Are you sure you don't call this love?'

As a person who changed his girlfriends to every full moon and new moon, he had seen many kinds of fake to emotional people.

For him, Xin's feelings for Aria were pure love. He couldn't understand why he never tries to meet her or talk to her.

Xoan didn't tell his thoughts to Xin because Xin never wanted to complicate things in life and Xoan thought Aria was a complex woman who doesn't suit Xin and she might hurt Xin.

"Okay Fanboy, admire her all you want. Now go and rest." He pushed him inside the room and watched him until he went to bed.

He really wished Aria was pretentious and fake so that Xin could stop reminiscing about his every encounter with her.

He quickly called a manager of one of the departments and planned out things to rip off the image Aria had created from herself.

After arranging it, he sent a message to a group that had many presidents, vice presidents, and CEOs of the companies.

'Aria Cooper, let me see how you will handle this time.'

----

Starting off the day looking at her husband's alluring face, Aria wished everything to be settled down sooner.

Shortly afterward, Aria regretted hurting her right-hand palm.

The doctor had told her to keep the wound away from any kind of moisture and she couldn't hold anything. She doubted if she could sign the files after checking them. At least she was glad, she doesn't have to sign any investment or contract agreements.

Seeing her circus using her left hand, Alan brushed her teeth, teased her in the shower, fed her breakfast before letting her leave from the Cooper mansion for work.

Alan too left after her to Morgan Industries.

Nathan went behind Alan as he informed his schedule, "President Morgan, after the morning meeting you have a meeting with Trient company's CEO at ten, afternoon Mr.Ross's new movie opening ceremony... Young Madam President attends it..."

Nathan didn't miss mentioning Aria and stole a quick glance at Alan whose eyes brightened hearing it.

Alan cut in without showing any reaction, "Time?"

Nathan hid his smile thinking Alan wouldn't be a mad whole day after seeing Aria. He didn't know Alan was with Aria the whole weekend.

"It's after lunch. One o'clock at Elite school. Shall I put aside that time slot?"

Alan remembered Aria's right hand and decided to reach her office for lunch. "Time of press conference?"

Nathan knew which press conference he was talking about, "President Morgan, it's at eleven at Morgan entertainment."

Alan had already reviewed the Trient company's proposal so he knew it wouldn't take more than half an hour.

"I am attending the press conference and opening ceremony too. "

Nathan noted down but said, "President Morgan, your appearance isn't really necessary. The problem is resolved, the press conference is only..."

"Did I stutter?" Alan didn't bother to glance at Nathan.

Nathan knew Alan never interfered in press conferences of the problems, not to mention, the problem was resolved so he voiced his thought. Anyway, he didn't bother about it and reported a few things before entering his adjacent office room.

Alan arranged a media reporter to carry out Aria's plan. Nathan informed the managing director of Morgan Entertainment that Alan will be personally attending the press conference.

Alan completed his morning meeting and signed the successful collaboration between Trient and Morgan Industries before he set off to Morgan Entertainment.

At Morgan Entertainment.

A simple press conference became a huge tension for the managing director. Alan was a man who wouldn't think twice to diss the incompetence in front of anybody.

The managing director informed David Mariot and his manager about Alan which shifted the tension to the duo with the PR and admin department who were responsible for arranging the conference.

The news about Alan attending the press conference spread like wildfire in the company.

It had been really very long years, Alan had stepped inside Morgan Entertainment. Hence everything was double-checked from cleaning to arrangements of the press conference. The guards managed the swarm of reporters to maintain the decorum.

The reporters were confused about seeing how they were exaggerating for such a simple meeting but still, they tried their best to get a good location.

The managers and the celebrities who had seen Alan and who never got a glimpse of Alan gathered around to check him out as they discussed Alan's looks, his wedding, and Aria.

"Ahhh I am finally going to get a glimpse of my long time crush."

"Oh my god, is President Morgan really going to come?"

"He is pretty cool with a straight face, will he talk to me if I try?"

"Isn't he single now? We shouldn't let this chance go."

"President Cooper must be blind to leave a diamond for coal. I will definitely get his attention today."

"Talking about President Cooper, Elina is on the road, she isn't getting any gigs or shows just because she missed ALIA's show. President Cooper ruined her complete life."

"Did you forget Isla Turner's fate?"

"That was in the past when President Morgan spoiled her. Now she is ruthless herself."

"She is just a thankless bitch..."

Chattering continued until somebody announced, "President Morgan reached."

Stepping out of the Rolls Royce phantom, Alan single buttoned his blazer and walked unfazed between rows of guards without caring about the exclamation or the greetings.

"President Morgan, everything is arranged and we are ready to start."

Alan didn't respond to the managing director and walked ahead trailed by the Managing director, Nathan, and other executives of Morgan Entertainment.

Celebrities exclaimed continuously as they greeted but didn't see a small reaction either.

Isaac who was lazily standing moved towards him. Every guard knew about him so they didn't stop as they did for others.

"President Morgan in action. I thought you would tell the MD to handle it."

Alan glanced at him but didn't stop, "Do you think anybody would dare to go against CEO West and your MD will bluff off everything so why not me?"

Isaac hummed matching his speed, "Let's have lunch after this."

Alan paused causing everyone to freeze in their place. "My wife didn't have seafood in a long time. Go to Delmar, lunch for three in her office. I will come there after this."

Managing director: ⊛_⊛

Others who heard Alan say 'My wife': ⊙_⊙

Isaac was envious, "Why didn't you marry me?"

Alan rolled his eyes and was leaving, Isaac spoke after realizing it, "Delmar doesn't have the take out policy."

"Figure it out." Alan said before entering the big hall where the press conference was arranged.

Isaac: 〇_〇
