Aria was still quick to compose. Nathan elegantly walked towards Alan after giving a slight head bow to Aria when their eyes met.

Dustin bowed his head with a tiny smile at Aria when Finn and Aria met in the center but the latter spoke first, "130 degrees right to Alan."

​​

Alan and Finn both understood and without showing themselves as deliberate, four men looked at the lady and two men's eyes darkened.

Finn asked, "Wasn't she dancing in bars? How does she know Vice President Morse?"

Aria shook her head. She never in her dreams thought she would see Isla Turner again in her life and in fact, she didn't even remember her even once before that day.

Levi and Nathan almost delivered the news at the same time on either end, "President Cooper, Ms.Grayson is with Director Morse."

"President Morgan, Ms.Turner is with Vice President Morse and Ms.Grayson is with Director Morse."

Director Morse, heir of Morse Industries, son of Vice president Morse and nephew of President Morse.

Pretending to take a champagne flute from a waiter Aria noticed Director Morse flirting with Monroe Grayson wrapping his hand around her waist. "Something big is surfacing against us."

Alan hummed at her while Finn and Levi exchanged glances. Dustin was clueless because he didn't know anything. Xoan had no idea the mess he pulled on Aria and Alan just to bring them out and his early probing of the party brought up the trouble earlier for the couple.

Without a second thought, Levi took her champagne flute, "President Cooper, don't touch anything. The capital city isn't our turf." Aria didn't object. She even felt she should think to respire the air.

Finn looked composed but he started doubting every business company that was cooperating with Morse Industries. "Alia, are they against you or your husband? Why do you attract so many problems?"

Aria grinned mischievously before saying, "Because my husband is hot, sexy, handsome, and suave. Just too irresistible."

Finn, Dustin, and Levi: 😑

Alan: 😮

Alan knew his wife's talent to make him the damsel in every distress. If not known, anybody would think everyone wants him but not her.

Aria giggled looking at them, "So it's my starving night. Alan, as soon as the first round of ball overs, we will head out. And you two can also join."

[Sure Honey] Alan's voice sounded in her earpiece.

Finn, "No, thanks. Your PDA filled my stomach."

"President Cooper, President Stanely! What an honor to see you two here!" A man who had a business empire in the northern part of country A greeted them.

Finn saw a businesswoman's professional smile on Aria's face and understood she will definitely get a project or invest in northern cities.

Aria always researched the companies if she attends any business-related parties. She might not go involuntarily to meet anyone but if they come, she might entice them with a good deal but she never would lose a penny in anything, not even in the talk.

Finn excused after greeting as he didn't have any business with that man. Levi was used to his president so he compelled whenever required and soon a deal closed with a shook of their hand.

[Shrewd Wife.] Alan never doubted her capability yet he was amused by how easily she invested in a northern mountain resort just by suggesting some international places and also got a project to design the resort and build it.

Investment, with architecture and construction. The billions worth project was under her in no time.

Just as Aria smiled and turned to leave, Director Morse reached Aria which also paused the other President who greeted him warmly, "Director Morse! I see you know the talented businesswoman too."

Director Morse was a good-looking man but for Aria, everyone weighs the same except her husband. So his playful smile did nothing on her calm face.

Director Morse raised his hand for the waiter passing-by, he picked a glass and held white wine flute at Aria confidently.

Aria Cooper smiled which actually alerted Monroe but Director Morse was an idiot and handed her flute. He clicked his glass and chugged his champagne but saw Aria still standing.

She slowly cued a waiter to reach and handed him the glass, opening her clutch she placed a few hundred dollars on his tray, "Drink and it's yours."

The waiter saw his month's worth salary on the tray so he drank silently and left without caring about the dark-faced Director Morse.

Another President spoke feeling the tense around, "President Cooper, that was..."

Aria smiled again, "I kind of have an OCD against filthy people and the things touched by them."

"You-" Director Morse was enraged but Aria returned with a smile and left gracefully.

Whoever saw it were amazed but it wasn't out of their expectation because that was Aria Cooper who doesn't give a damn or act in front of anybody.

Another President quickly left aside so that the Skyline investment and business cooperation could be safe.

Monroe balled her fist and marched towards Aria for insulting her boyfriend without knowing she was just a toy used by the Morse family.

Monroe was depressed after the birthday party so she had moved to the capital to join some good company and she was saved by the director in the Morse Industries when the manager was insulting her for trying to create rumors with President Morgan.

Then Director Morse's act of falling in love-at-first-sight clicked hearing him say she should give herself a second chance so she was dating Director Morse.

Alan instructed Aria sipping his champagne, "Honey, want a good show?"

[Why not?]

"Do as I say. Send Levi aside and walk to the fifth woman who is looking at you."

Aria obliged without knowing why she had to meet a random actress. She sent Levi to Finn and walked to the lady who wasn't looking at her but behind her.

[Alright]

"Greet"

Aria spoke in composure, "Hello, I have heard a lot about you. I was..."

[Jerk aside now.]

Aria followed blindly and she heard, "You bitch..."

"Ahhh..." That actress shrieked soaked in wine and Aria saw Monroe shocked after it.

Aria understood Monroe wanted to teach her lesson but her husband was cunning and brought ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend of Director Morse face to face.

A woman president who was once dumped by Director Morse held Aria's arm gently and checked on her saying, "Oh my god! President Cooper, I hope you aren't hurt by that lady's push."

Aria: "..." She wasn't pushed by anybody and she wasn't a damsel to be saved from petty tricks.

Monroe: "..."

Alan's voice sounded in Aria's ear, [Enemy's of an enemy is still useful.] followed by President Steve's enjoying laughter.

That President lady poured oil to the fire, "Miss! If you wanted to insult your Boyfriend's ex, why are you hurting innocent President Cooper? You are such a vile woman."
