The dress was black with minor details carefully done, not too heavy yet it looks classy and elegant, especially when she was wearing it as if it was made for her.
“Miss, you look beautiful in this.” the lady helping her put on the dress could not help praising how magnificent Arien was looking.
Arien was hesitant for a while. Seeing that, the helper stepped forward.
“Mater would surely like it” she said pushing her out.
As Arien stepped out, every eyes were on her. Even the women staff were not able to take their eyes off not to mention the men there.
Devian, at first glance was also mesmerized.
This girl only belong to him.
He kept on looking at her for a long while without speaking and his gaze made Arien blush unintentionally and she became a bit uncomfortable.
“Devian…” He didn’t speak for a while so Arien anxiously called out. “Do I not look good?” She asked with red face.
He walked to her and leaned closer.
“Perfect” he whispered in her ears.
Suddenly the manager, who had gone out came back and said, “Director, this dress is already bought by someone.”
“Oh…” Arien liked this dress but when it is already bought by someone how can she take it. “Let’s not buy this and find something else.” She said to him.
“Silly girl” Devian then turned to the manager.
“I’ll buy this. Whoever has bought it can take any dress or every dress.” he said coldly.
“Yes Master” the manager didn’t dare to turn him down.
Dean was just paying the bills when a man came over and said, “Mister, this dress has already been bought by our young master for his future wife”
“Our director had already put a great deal for this dress.” Dean answered calmly.
“Do you even know whom you’re offending?” The man said. “Our young master will not accept any deal of yours.”
“I don’t know whom I’m offending but you must know whom you’re affronting. It is our….”
“Assistant , what’s the matter?” A man came over to them.
“Young master, the dress you bought for the future madam, they say they want it.”
“Who are they.” The man had a handsome face with a quiet pleasant smile. He had a noble aura but he looked less sober than Devian.
Arien wanted to return the dress but Devian insisted that she should keep it on as they had to head to the banquet and everything would be done on the way including the make-ups.
They walked out of the clothes area. They didn’t stop at the counter rather walked straight to the exit.
The man turned his face a little and a beautiful women caught his sight.
He was not able to take his eyes off of her. He didn’t notice the man walking behind Arien until his back faced him.
“What a pity.” he sighed.
“Assistant let them have the dress” he said.
“But young master, you wanted it for the future Madam” the assistant said.
“Do you want to argue?” He raised his eyebrows.
“No no.” The assistant lowered his head.
Dean had already paid the bill and walked out while the two men were talking.
The ‘young master’ stood there and said, “Interesting, who could it be?”
…
In the car Devian was sitting, holding his laptop and working.
Arien could not help gazing at him. “How could this man still look handsome when he’s so serious?”
“Done looking?” He finally lifted his head.
He had already felt her gaze since long but didn’t say anything. Now that he had done his work how could he not tease Arien?
“I wasn’t looking!” She retaliated.
“Devian, we shouldn’t have bought this dress.” Arien said. “It was already bought by someone”
“I have kept quiet a good deal for a dress right?” He smiled.
“But…” Arien still wanted to say something but he said cutting her words.
“Here, we’ve reached” Dean said.
“Let’s get in.” Devian said.
“Where is it now?” She asked.
“Even though my wife doesn’t need make-ups, I think women would still prefer some touch-up” he scratched her nose.
“Whatever!” Arien couldn’t control her blush and her face became red again.
“How can this man always achieve his motive of teasing me?” She murmured making a face.
They walked in and it was a beautiful parlor and the lady there greeted both of them.
“Master, miss, this way please.” She pointed.
“You go, I’ll just come in a while” Devian said.
Arien followed the lady and walked inside.
Dean stood there facing Devian. “Director it was indeed someone else in the kidnapping of Miss Collen and Miss Robinson. Harry only was a way the person used to hide his identity.” Dean reported.
“Okay” Devian nodded. “It’s time to find this Robert’s brother.” He said.
“Yes director” Dean replied.
“Make sure Arien doesn’t know about it” he added. “Fetch something for her to eat”
Arien was empty stomach and now it’s already afternoon she must be hungry.
“I’ll go right away, director” Dean walked away with a smile. “Director cares so much for Mrs Lyle” he thought.
Devian walked in with a package. “Mrs Lyle” he called.
Arien was already done with all her touch ups. She was already beautiful and her skin had no flaws so it didn’t take much time.
“Mr Lyle” Arien waved her hand. “I’m done”
“Hmm…” Devian stared her for a long time.
All the stylists walked out thoughtfully, seeing them together.
After looking for a while he walked to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. “You’re beautiful”
Arien was left in a daze when he said that then he added, “I’ve bough you food”
Arien was really hungry. She has eaten a little in the morning because she was cooking for him.
“Thank you Mr Lyle” she took the box.
Devian smiled looking at the girl eating like a little hungry child.
“Don’t look at me like that, I’m hungry” Arien said.
“I’m hungry as well” he said.
“Then have your food” she said passing a box to him.
“How about you feed me?” He said.
“Are you a child?” He is really unreasonable!
“Then I won’t eat.” He stood up.
Arien finally agreed to feed him and pulled him back.
After their meal they went back to Lyle Mansion.
Arien was already ready. She doesn’t have to do anything now so she sat there.
Devian went into the study for a while for his business works.
After sometime it was already time to go. Devian came out and soon there was call. He answered it.
After hanging up he told Arien that they were ready to go.
The car was already arranged.
