Dean took the doctor back.
After a bit of rest. Devian woke up. It was already 10 in the morning.
Arien sat there beside him.
“How are you feeling now??” She saw him awake and helped him sit.
“I’m okay Arien” he held her hand.
She then checked his body temperature which had decreased quiet a bit after taking the injection. He condition seemed better now.
“Here. Have some porridge and then you have to take the medicines.” She passed the bowl to him.
He ate the porridge obediently but Arien was surprised when she saw him being childish while taking the medication.
“I don’t want any medicine” he said. “I’ll be all right till this afternoon.”
“Mmm…. Don’t act like this.” She passed the tablets along with a glass of water.
“What would I get if I listen to you?” He smiled.
Anyways she had to make him eat it so as to make him get healthy.
“Alright, if you listen to me and eat it then.. I’ll do whatever you want me to.” she said helplessly.
“Don’t forget that… You can’t get back at your words.” He ate the medicine.
She took back the glass and said, “Okay”
“Director” Dean came into the room. “We have the car ready. We can leave now.”
“How could we leave now?” Arien was shocked. “He isn’t well!”
“Madam, director told us to….” Dean wanted to explain but he got no chance.
“Your director is a big idiot! You don’t need to listen to him!” Arien shouted glaring at Devian.
“Mrs Lyle…” Dean wanted to say that he would leave but Devian interrupted.
“It’s okay, Dean, you may leave. We’ll head back in some time.” then he turned to Arien. “We still have to go to the banquet.”
“But you are not well!” She exclaimed.
“Haven’t I recovered well since morning. I’ll be all right by afternoon. And the banquet is in the evening. I’ll be okay” he assured her.
“But you’ll have to promise me that you’ll take care” she can’t win and she knew it.
“Okay Mrs Lyle.” He held her hand. “I promise, and remember you said you’ll do whatever I want if I will take the medicines. Now I had them.”
Arien’s face turned red. She didn’t know what he was going to ask her to do.
“Okay” she said in a very low voice.
“Just stay with me” he said.
“Ahh…” Why was she being so shy? What was she thinking? “Yes… I will” she replied.
“Let’s go down.” He stood up and walked out.
He was holding her hand tightly.
Dean was standing there outside the room. As soon as they came out, Dean came over to help.
They reached back to Lyle Mansion. Devian could not help smiling when she kept on reminding him to rest.
She was ordering him.
Dean was all the way with them. He had seen that Devian was being ordered. “Only Mrs Lyle could do this. No one else has the courage to scold or order the great president Ace!” He thought.
An hour drive and they were back in the Lyle mansion. It was already noon. Devian had no mood to stay in the bed anymore. So he walked out.
His condition was better and he looked as usual, healthy and handsome.
Arien was in the kitchen helping aunt Anne in preparing lunch.
She had herself made light and healthy food for Devian. Even after aunt Anne said that she would cook, Arien insisted on cooking it herself.
When Devian came down, he saw a busy body humming in the kitchen. Aunt Anne stood there, helpless.
She can’t persuade Arien to let her cook so she stood there.
Arien was so busy cooking that she didn’t notice Devian standing at the door, leaning and looking at her.
“Master.” It was only when aunt Anne greeted him that she came to know he was there.
“Why did you get up?” She started scolding him as soon as she saw him.
“I’m here to take you out.” He straightened his back.
“I’m not going.” Arien turned him down.
“Who asked you. Get ready.” He said firmly.
“How rude!” Arien made a face.
“Get ready.”
“Okay! Have food first!” She finally had to agree because she knew she would not be able to beat a businessman in an argument.
“As my wife orders.” he said and walked to the table.
Arien was as shocked as aunt Anne. This man can change mind so easily that one can never guess what he’s thinking.
After the meal they went out.
“Where are we going?” She had no idea why suddenly he decided to take her out.
“To buy clothes.” He replied.
“Hump! You only wears black suit that too tailor made. You could ask anyone to bring it for you. Why do we need to come?” Arien didn’t understand.
Devian smiled and said, “We’re here to buy clothes for you, Mrs Lyle.”
“Me?” She pointed to her nose.
“Yes, for you.” the car stopped near an exquisite mall.
Arien could see the beautiful dresses in the display. They were so expensive that she would rather not buy anything than buying those expensive dresses.
“Let’s go” he had already come out and opened the door for her.
“Huh?” Arien came out. “Are we going to buy dresses from here?”
“Hmm..” Devian nodded in agreement.
“Devian, how can you afford them! They are so expensive.” She didn’t want to buy them and waste his money.
“Your husband can afford anything for you.” They entered the mall.
“Young master.” the manager greeted.
“Show madam the best dress.” He said in his usual indifferent tone sitting on the couch.
“Yes.” the manager rushed in with a couple of staff.
Arien looked at him in disbelief. After a while she finally asked, “Devian”
“Hmm?” He said.
“How these people are so respectful to you?” She asked.
“That’s just…” Devian was saying something when the staff came over with the dresses.
“Director, here. These are the best dresses of our collection. They are new arrivals so there is no chance of another same dress in the whole country.” A lady started explaining the details about the dresses.
“Go try all of them” he said.
“Them? All of them?” Arien felt lazy to try all the dresses. “How about you choose some dress from among them and I’ll try only those?”
“You’re lazy” Devian smiled. “Let me choose then.”
He pointed to three dresses after examining and Arien took them for the trials.
She came out wearing the dresses one after another. Every dress looked really beautiful in her petite body. Her figure was so good that any dress would look fabulous on her.
But according to the cold president, none of the dress was matching her personality.
He said, “My wife looks good in anything but, anything is not what I want.”
Devian held her and said, “I want something that is made for you, only.”
“Hmm” Arien nodded with a red face “Is this man appreciating me?” She thought.
“Bring that dress” Devian said.
He didn’t point to anything which made her confused. But the staff understood.
The manager nodded and walked inside.
Arien was still surprised when the manager came out with a really beautiful dress.
