"Yep, Let's get married. Which marriage bureau do you prefer?"

Aria's lips twitched seeing his mischievous teasing curve on his face. She threw the file at him which was on the table.

​​

Finn chuckled, dodging it he bent to take the file as his other hand worked on his mobile screen while Aria spoke, "Finn Stanley, I'm asking seriously. Can't you answer me straight?"

Finn pointed to the glass wall for her where Aria's reflection was visible, "Look at her carefully. I want a caring, adorable, sweet, silly wife. Do you think you fit any criteria? Stop thinking highly of yourself."

Finn described her but sounded like she wasn't the one. He also wished her to drop the topic.

Even though he couldn't confess, he didn't want to lie either. So he could only hide it.

Aria controlled herself from smacking his head, "So you don't love me?"

Finn frowned, "Alia!"

Aria didn't want to make him uncomfortable but she asked to make sure. She pouted and extended her hand, "Your mobile."

Finn nonchalantly handed it, "Why? Where is yours?"

Aria saw the wallpaper chuckled finally resting at ease. She sat down and asked curiously, "Don't lie, Is this bromance or romance?"

Aria waved his mobile at him to show, it was a picture of Ceon hugging Finn. From the angle, it was looking very intimate.

Finn choked on his spit and coughed hard. He hadn't seen which picture he had chosen while removing Aria's picture.

It was a picture from a party where Ceon was dead drunk and hugged Finn when he missed the balance and Finn was actually peeling him away.

That picture was sent by somebody in the group which he had downloaded to check ignoring others teasing them. He had even beaten Ceon for that.

'Why did I choose that?' He cried to himself and heard Aria continue.

"I heard you have changed after returning to country A from country S. Did you perhaps were in country S because you wanted time to accept yourself?" Aria pursed her lips tightly to control her laughter.

"ALIA!" Finn roared at her because she would non stop tease him and he was sure she knew that wasn't any romance.

Aria laughed her heart out looking at Finn who was grinding his teeth changing the wallpaper to a different one.

Even though Finn loved to hear her laughter, that was on the wrong topic.

"Send my condolences to your friend before you beat him to death. I will make sure to send a beautiful wreath."

Finn snorted and looked away causing her to laugh again and tease, "I never attended the homo wedding. Don't forget to call me."

Finn stood up from his chair in total embarrassment marching towards her, "I will throw you out."

Aria stood up and ran around in the whole office room continuing to tease him until she was tired and was knocked on the head.

After relaxing, Aria sighed, "Today is a rollercoaster of my emotions. Chairman Hanes called armed guards on Noah, then I met sister Kite and now..."

Aria again laughed while Finn's face palmed himself. He growled at her remembering an important question, "Which idiot stuffed your brain?"

Aria then told whatever Kite told her. Finn didn't deny, "It's just a wallpaper I keep changing. I must have kept our picture and she might have seen it." Then he bopped her head again, "Dumb."

Aria gave thumbs up hearing him accept about the wallpaper then she smacked his head, "How dare you ruin my hair? I had gone to the salon."

Finn: "..."

It wasn't even ten minutes she was present there, she left soon bidding him for Eva.

Finn was finally let his heart at rest but drove towards Ceon's office for another round of beating.

---

At Luxuria,

As Aria had mentioned, she was on the emotions roller coaster. As soon as she went, Eva hugged her, "I missed you."

Noah was still sober which surprised her. Rian was coaxing his wife back to sleep. It was very rare she got to see Rian and Roxy like a sweet couple and she knew they treated each other truly good.

She sent Noah with his bodyguards. Rian carried Roxy out to the car and went home.

Aria patted Eva's back who complained, "Why should little cutie have to go through all this? He even hides his real emotions from everyone. We should have found a girl for him by ourselves. He wouldn't have fallen for that Hanes Panes."

"Eva." Aria patted her back to console her.

Eva wasn't a weak girl but when it's about Noah, she was really sensitive. Having no siblings, Noah had become one for her.

"Everything will be alright soon. Don't worry. Noah is strong, he will manage it. We are there to help him."

Eva agreed to her and sniffed her hair, "Your hair smells awful. Why did you change your shampoo? This is not good."

It wasn't awful, it's just she likes the particular brand of shampoo.

Aria diverted her attention to what she did the whole day until she was fine and composed. She was thinking to drop her home but the duo friends reached the private room.

Eva pulled Aria for drinks seeing them. "Prince came to take care of you so let's drink."

At the end of an hour, Aria was a sweet little lamb adoring Alan cupping her face with both hands while Isaac was helping his girlfriend who threw up twice.

Alan and Isaac were like, 'Shouldn't the man be a drunkard instead of his woman?'

"How long are you going to look at me?"

Alan couldn't handle her gaze for a long time. If he was given a chance, he would take her then and there. He was glad she doesn't let others see her adorable side.

Aria smiled and snuggled up to his arms, "You are so sweet."

Isaac: O_O

'He is a cold devil.'

"Babe, Am I sweet?" Isaac asked Eva leaving Alan speechless.

Eva shook her head, disappointing him but next second her eyes brightened, "Hot and spicy... Yum."

Isaac was proud of his girlfriend, he patted her head and helped her to drink lime water.

Alan saw him gloating and heard Aria's question, "Eva, shall I order for you?"

Both men were confused seeing Eva nod. Aria poked Alan, "Sweetheart, Eva wants to eat grilled spicy chicken. Order for her pleaseee."

Eva smiled in satisfaction giving her flying kiss, "My goddess knows me best." She smacked Isaac's arm, "You don't understand anything, My wife is so smart."

Alan saw Isaac's face dark, realizing Eva was seeing chicken plate and said, 'Hot and spicy... yum.'

Alan patted Isaac's shoulder to irritate him. He carried his wife out and shamelessly asked in the car putting on her seat belt. "Am I yummy or chicken?"

He asked in all seriousness looking her in the eye as if it was an important deal.

Aria blinked a few times finding it hard to choose one. Alan was the speechless knowing chicken was in competition with him.

He was getting back, Aria saw him disappointed hence she caught him in a deep long kiss then she smiled, "Hmmm... mmm you are sweet and chicken is spicy. Both are yummy."

'Chicken!' was still in the competition even after taking advantage of him.

Alan: O_O
