Chelsea glanced at Levi who yearned to toss her out then she turned to Aria who was curious about their story. The latter looked appealing than the first so she ignored Levi.

"President Cooper, we first met when you two sneaked to Hanes Industries. I had thought of him as a businessman and he even smiled at me. However, later I got to know it was a fake smile to trap me. Then we met multiple times when you and Chairman Hanes used to meet but he always behaved as though he doesn't know me, in fact, he treated me like a wall... No, no, walls are visible to the eyes, he treated me as air."

​​

Mother Brown and Aria chuckled hearing her complaining while Alan and Levi sat as if they weren't hearing anything.

"Okay Okay... Coming to the story..."

-- Two months earlier --

Chelsea got to know Levi wasn't a businessman but an assistant of President Cooper. It was hard for anybody to easily forget the brawny, tall man easily, and Chelsea was obviously attracted to him on their first meet.

Chelsea wasn't a woman coy at the man's presence. Since she grew up in western countries where dating and breaking up is casual, she was bold about such situations too. As she was attracted to him at first meet, she wanted to meet him again and also wanted to date him if he is single.

It wasn't any love at first sight for her, she wasn't an immature woman to blindly follow anything so she would date and naturally decide whether to live in or marry or part ways and move on.

During that time, she saw him in the club with his fellow comrades when she was there to party with her friends on a friend's birthday. She was already tipsy when her gaze landed on him and identified as Levi. Her natural on-the-go attitude with her drunken boldness ended her up standing in front of six ex-service military men.

Levi obviously identified her but stared at her when she was idiotically smiling at him and chided him loud enough to be heard by other fellas nearby, "How dare you to catch my eyes and hideaway? Who gave you the right to be sexy and tall?..."

'Pfft-' A man choked on his drink hearing her and seeing Levi's dark gaze ready to peel her skin off.

Chelsea turned around patted the one who was coughing but it wasn't patting but hitting him roughly as she said, "Are you a kid? Don't you know how to drink properly?" Well, that man was glad she was thumping his back but not any sensitive parts else she would be crying on the floor.

He moved her hand away and asked pointing Levi, "Sister, do you know this man? Why do you find him sexy?" They wanted some fun on the weekend hangout obviously.

Chelsea grinned ear to ear hearing 'Sister.' "Bro, it's hard to find somebody respecting a woman as a sister. You won my heart."

He buried his chuckle and responded, "I would love to call you sister-in-law."

All others chuckled hearing him while Levi grounded his teeth wishing to throw her away as quickly as possible.

Chelsea flashed him a big smile, then she pointed to Levi and cried "He fooled me with a smile and didn't even see me when I saw him again." She pushed the bottles away from the center table and sat down crossing her legs and started crying. "He didn't smile back at me when I smiled. He didn't greet me back when I greeted."

The six men had no idea how to stop her from crying, Levi just grimly watched her while the other five were afraid others might think as they were bullying a drunk lady so they started to coax her, "Sister don't cry..."

"Miss, stop crying."

"Others are thinking we are taking advantage of you."

"Miss, calm down, we will talk this out."

"Miss, all are watching us, please stop crying."

Chelsea stopped crying and looked around, she nodded her head looking at many gazes on her, and lastly, she saw furrowed brows and intense gaze of Levi, "Ahhh... he is angry, he will beat me." She screamed and buried her face between her knees as though he was going to beat her up. Her drunken state didn't realize she was in a short dress and her position gave the live scene to her undergarment.

Levi's hand really itched to smack her head while another comrade wrapped his long jacket on her. Five turned to Levi to ask him to talk to her but Levi's gaze and grim face were enough to put them at bay.

Levi took the chance and went to the bar counter when she wasn't seeing. Chelsea who peeked and looked around didn't find Levi and dismayed, "See, I told you, he ran away from me again."

The five men glanced at Levi and didn't dare to point him out for her so they lied, "He felt bad seeing you cry so he went home. Miss, you should go to your friends and go home."

Unwillingly, Chelsea stood up and bid them, then she swayed towards her friends who were laughing looking at her instead of helping her.

---

Aria didn't want to laugh but was chuckling looking at Levi. She could imagine how pissed off Levi would be by Chelsea's behavior. She saw Chelsea who wasn't embarrassed but angry at Levi, "Ms. Baker, I am really liking you. After hearing from you, I am craving wine to irritate my husband."

Alan: "..."

Mother Brown glanced at Alan and asked, "Aria, how did you meet your husband? His nonchalance is far beyond my heartless son. You can give tips to Chelsea." It confirmed the couple that she likes Chelsea.

Aria smiled, shaking her head, "My husband didn't trouble me and fell for me before I could do anything. Now I want to experience chasing after a man."

Levi and Alan: "..."

Mother Brown and Chelsea chuckled hearing her have different types of cravings. Alan's toneless voice sounded, "A man?"

Aria didn't have a death wish to say yes, "The man is you, sweetheart. Don't worry, none can beat you and reach the standards you have raised."

Alan just nodded without showing he was content to hear that. His expressions were only when they were together alone and continued his poker look as though he was as everyone said, 'Cold mountain.'

Aria turned back to Chelsea and asked, "Okay okay, next..."

Chelsea nonchalantly stated, "I kissed him when I met next time."

Levi gnashed his teeth thinking Chelsea was shameless to the core while Aria watched Chelsea in bewilderment without believing her ears. 'Chelsea kissed Levi without his permission.' That would be sensational news to all secretaries of Aria.

Levi didn't retort yet Aria still couldn't believe Chelsea kissed Levi and she is still alive with her all bones are safe.
