She was walking so fast. She halted a taxi and hurriedly told the driver to go to The Visight.
She repeatedly asked the driver to speed up.
She reached the Visight and hurried to Devian’s office.
On the way, she bumped into Dean.
“Mrs Lyle” he greeted Arien “Director is in his office. I’ll take you over…..” Dean started speaking.
“It’s okay, I’ll go. Thank you.” Arien smiled at him without stopping and entered the elevator pressing the button for the 21st floor.
Her heart was still uneasy. It would only calm down if she would see him by herself.
“Ding!” The elevator door opened.
Arien ran to his office and pushed open the door only to see that there were other two people sitting on the couch with Devian, discussing business.
She was so embarrassed that she forgot how to react.
Devian looked at the anxious face and panting Arien covered with sweat as if she had a race.
“I’ll deal with other matters later.” Devian spoke without looking away. His eyes were fixed at her.
The other two people got up, thanked Devian and left.
“Come over” he stretched out his hand.
“I won’t!” Arien said but her actions were completely opposite.
She walked toward him obediently.
He held her hand and pulled her.
“Ahh..!” She lost her balance and finally ended up sitting on his lap.
“Why are you panting?” Devian locked his deep eyes to her face. “Did you see a wolf or something?” He smiled.
“No!” She looked away.
“Then?” He raised his eyebrows “Do you still want me to take you somewhere ‘coz you’re bored?” His smile became wider.
“No!” she shouted. “I just came here because I was concerned for……” She turned to look at him and felt something warm brushing on her lips.
“I can kiss you if you want.” Devian said with a hint of satisfaction.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. It was just….” Arien started explaining.
“There’s no rush. We could take it slow. How about I teach you breathing while kissing?” Devian smile widened.
“Shut up! You Pervert.” Arien said.
She came here because she was feeling uneasy and now here he was making fun of her. She wanted to beat this man to death.
“You came here because you were concerned… For me?” Devian’s voice suddenly changed.
Today in the morning she was chasing him away as if he didn’t want him at all and now she was saying this.
Is she playing with him? Why does she have to confuse him to this extend.
“No!… I… just wanted to go shopping….” Arien opened her mouth.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Dean entered.
“Not again!” How did he forget that his director was now married. And moreover his wife came to his office. How can he not ask the permission before entering.
As he came in, he turned, walked out and ran away. His director will surely kill him. What would he do then. Why does he needs to offend this god day and after?
In the office room, Arien was embarrassed. How would she face Dean? She shouldn’t have come here.
She felt so embarrassed that her face was flushed red.
Devian quietly observed her while she kept on cursing him in her heart.
Devian was very satisfied with her look.
“Come we’ll go somewhere. You wanted to go right?” Devian finally spoke.
“Where?” She looked at him.
“You say?” He said.
“Okay then let’s go shopping. I’ll buy gifted for your parents and sister Julien also.” Her expression change in the blink of an eye and she tried to get up.
But her waist was held firmly by him. She could not get up.
“Let go, Devian” Arien looked at him in amazement. What has happened to this man?
Didn’t he tell that he would divorce her once her parents go back. Why does he have to show so much care and commitment in his eyes for her?
Devian let her go and she stood up, adjusting her clothes. Devian got up and turned her shoulders slightly turning her towards himself.
Then he leaned on her shoulders. Arien was shocked and tried to retract. But he held her hand then her waist and pulled her close. His head was buried in her neck.
“Don’t move” his voice was low and magnetic but it could also make one follow whatever he says.
Arien stood there without moving. She got goosebumps because of his warm breath which lingered in her neck.
“Call my name again.” He said.
“Huh..?” Arien was speechless. What does this man want to do? “Devian?”
“I feel so relaxed here, now.” After a while she heard him say that. She somehow felt happy. He said he felt relieved being with her.
“Me too” she murmured wrapping her arms around his perfect waist.
She didn’t know that Devian was smiling. He sniffed the smell of her hair. It felt so good to have her by his side.
Does she think the same?
Whatever it maybe. This moment seemed to be so beautiful. Both of them didn’t want to let go.
Time seemed to come to standstill. Their gazes, breathing and body temperature seemed to be intertwined.
After a while Devian let her go.
“Let’s go.” He said while holding her hand.
“Okay” Arien smiled.
He was walking ahead holding her hands in his. The warmth of his hand transferred little by little to her.
The whole staff looked at them with shock and surprise in their eyes.
“Does their director has a girlfriend?” Everyone had the same question.
Arien could hear them whispering.
“Did he really not had a girlfriend before?” She thought and at the same time felt happy in her heart.
They reached his car. He helped her enter and then drove.
“Where to go?” He asked
“Shopping. Help me find some good gifts for your family.” She smiled.
She doesn’t have a family now so she wanted to make Devian’s family satisfied.
“Okay” they drove to the market.
Arien carefully chose gifts according to what Devian told her. She wanted the gifts to be useful, one that they would remember.
After buying the gifts they went to their car back. There was still time for dark.
“Where to next?” Devian asked looking at her happy face.
“Let me think. It’ll be dark after a while. Let’s go to the lover’s tower. I’ve heard that the view at night is really beautiful from the top.” Arien said and then realized what a mistake she has done.
The lover’s tower was famous for couples. The scene form the top was romantic and many couples could be seen hugging and kissing there.
Arien bit her lips and waited hoping that he would reject it. But, to her surprise he agreed without any hesitation.
He then took out his phone and dialed a number. He went out of the car to talk.
Arien could only guess that it was work matter. Because of her, his work would delay.
Anyway if he agreed, there was no way that she would not go.
He came back and started the car. They drove.
All the way Arien thought about the call that Devian did. Why did he have to go out to talk? What was the call about.
There were many questions in her mind. She was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn’t realize the car has already stopped and Devian was looking at her.
“Shall we go?” Only after listening to Devian’s voice did she come back to her senses.
“Okay” she nodded and came out of the car.
