While the makeup artist expected some tantrums, Aria shook her head, "Thank you for your hard work."

MUA: "..."

​​

She expected Aria to order them around but that didn't happen at all. Looking at Aria's reflection on the mirror, she couldn't help but smile. Aria looked like a porcelain delicate doll that she would even think twice to touch her and the perfectly fitting gown heightened her beauty and sophistication

Aria was about to go to the shoe rack, Alan stood on a knee and helped her wear the prearranged white ankle traps on. "Comfortable?"

Aria hummed while two ladies were swooning on the gentle and tender side of Alan. Aria dusted his knee pulling him up and both went out.

Aria grabbed everyone's attention.

Luke smiled looking at Aria, "Aish, after seeing you wear it, I don't feel like letting anybody else wear my creation. By the way, Maxion is very demanding and harsh if you fail. I have told him to be considerate, I am just giving you heads up."

Aria nodded glancing at Maxion. Alan suggested, "Honey, just look at me for the required expression and pose. You can do it."

Luke: O_O

'Are you going to show how to pose and give expression?' She badly wanted to ask.

Ceon pitied Finn, "Dumb man, why didn't you seal the deal before three years? She looks like a real doll." While looking around he spoke again, "Are those girls blushing by looking at President Morgan or President Cooper?"

Finn wanted to leave hearing his desolation tone. Finn had seen Aria in many types of dresses and he knew she would look mesmeric in white gown much less in designer gowns.

They went out for the pictures near the railings and greenery where everything was set up.

Maxion hummed in satisfaction. He knew Aria by the news and by his friends. Initially, he doubted her ability but Ceon had web searched her name to show her images then he wasn't biased. Now important was to express. "President Cooper, let's try out some pictures as a warm-up."

Aria nodded but she was unsure how to pose for the gown. She always played with poses with her friends, now it was completely professional so she was frozen.

Maxion frowned, getting no reaction. He wanted to try if she could bring out any genuine feel but was utterly disappointed. Luke saw her thinking. Finn knew she was confused while the staff cursed the model. The longer the model takes, their shift will continue the whole day.

Aria wasn't scared of any judgemental gazes. She didn't want to give the wrong expression for such an elegant gown. Her eyes went on Alan who was very calm without any small flinch of doubt in her. He winked and a smile naturally appeared on Aria's face. 'Aww, he looks so cute.'

She snapped out of a daze when Maxion said, "That was a good one. Next…"

'I didn't even pose.'

Finn was dazed seeing her smile. That innocent adoring smile was hard to get from her and he knew that smile belonged to whom.

Aria realized why Alan actually told her to look at him. It reminded her about her different sides with him because she is his bride and the bride of the photoshoot.

The rest of the poses and expressions were easily achieved and Maxion was quite happy with the pictures as he instructed and taught her the right angles for it.

Before they could end, Rian and Roxy reached with the tuxedo. Sending Alan to change, Rian bombarded Maxion asking for the recreation of the picture in which Rian was in white dress with a veil and Aria standing next to him with a delighted smile.

Luke arranged the veil and they took pictures. One picture multiplied by five and the Beauty and the little devil played torturing Maxion's assistant until Alan reached and Aria skipped to him abandoning everyone.

"My prince charming."

Alan saw her adoring like a teenage crush so he didn't dampen her excitement. Caressing her cheeks, "Like in the fantasy?"

Aria vigorously nodded...

While the couple started to flirt, Ceon looked at Finn, "Seriously? Why do you go with her to torture yourself? Let's leave."

Finn never could get used to them being close. It wouldn't stop hurting him, he just ignores them. They didn't leave as they couldn't get to talk to her.

Aria asked, "I want pictures with the showbeginner gown. Are we trying it too?"

Luke responded, "That will be at last due to different style makeup and set. Take a few in this gown. What's your loss?"

Maxion's assistant spoke, "I already got plenty of them."

Aria: "..."

'We didn't even pose. I was just flirting with him.' Anyway, she went towards the green room but heard, "Shall I upload our recreated picture?"

Aria threatened, "Sure, I will remove your brain and hand it to you as soon as you upload it."

Rian: 😶

Roxy explained, "One, her gowns aren't allowed to go public yet. Two, she is in a bridal gown, the public will think she is married to you stealing you from her little sister. Until Arrie and brother-in-law's marital relationship goes out, don't dare to do it."

Rian: 😵! He hated how much they had to think just for uploading a single picture.

…

There wasn't much change in makeup, her hairstyle was matched with the gowns and Aria soon finished the photoshoot of nearly six gowns.

After changing to casual clothes, they sat for lunch. "Now tell me, what's going on?"

Ceon and Finn looked at each other.

Aria was about to ship them, Ceon lied, "Finn's grandfathers are torturing him for blind dates. I heard they listen to you so thought you could help him."

Finn: 😶

'Holy God of heaven, please take my life.' Finn was about to screw him, Rian and Aria burst into laughter.

Aria asked, "Because you guys are together now?"

Pfft- Ceon choked on his food.

Roxy: "Is it true?"

Luke: "Isn't your family accepting your relationship?"

Maxion: "Dude, why don't I know about this?"

Aria looked pitifully at Finn who was cursing his half-witted friend.

Aria and Roxy continued, "Finn is dominant."

"Mr.Davis is submissive, he can't dominate his boyfriend."

"Shall we throw a party?"

Roxy hummed, "I always wanted to celebrate and encourage homo couples. I wish country A becomes open to them."

Finn and Ceon: 😳

Rian cut in, "Really? I thought it was a slip of tongue... I want to attend your wedding. Arrie will sponsor your wedding."

Aria was at a loss of words hearing Rian saying she was going to sponsor a wedding that wasn't going to happen but she played along, "Including honeymoon."

Finn knew anything he reacts to would raise more doubts so he revealed the truth.
