Chapter 27: Steal her away


    n turned around and continued his work as he responded passively, "I''m her guardian. What do you think?"


    Isaac wanted to whack his head on the marble top. "Brainless man! Stop assuming yourself as her guardian for everything. She will be major soon. Will you also say yourself as her guardian then? Put away your business and philomath brain. There is nothing wrong with liking or loving somebody."


    Isaac understood where the problem lies but he didn''t know how to solve it. He didn''t let n rebuff and asked, "When did you meet her third time?"


    n didn''t speak again and finished the kitchen work before turning on the business news.


    It infuriated Isaac, "Fine, be her guardian. Since I''m good at picking up on girls, I don''t think she will say no to me. Die alone watching me take your girl away."


    Isaac got up and moved towards the exit but stumbled due to n who stretched his long leg, "She doesn''t need a yboy like you."


    Isaac threw the jacket on the couch, "n Morgan! Do you know the cost of my face? I have millions of fans and a few uing movies, how dare you trip me? What if it ruined my face?"


    n brushed his eyes on him who was huffing. He turned off the television before answering him, "Mypany can build a new artist for your fans and movies."


    The disimed actor sat on the couch having such a friend. His expression was grave cursing his own life.


    n smacked his head, "Then I saw Aria in Rian''s birthday party..."


    n sighed looking at Isaac cheering up instantly. "After that, in the hospital... She moved to the mansion. Anything else Actor Ross?"


    Isaaczied on the couch for some time and walked around beforeing to the conclusion and said excitedly, "n! It was Love At Sight. You liked her from the time you saw her at your banquet. Don''t you?"


    n ignored him but he also knew he was right. He pulled hisptop out to work but Isaac kept hisptop away and sat with him.


    "I don''t mind even if you break my bone, I will say it. You are Aria Cooper''s legal guardian because she is minor that''s it. You liking her and your responsibility doesn''t collide. Don''t bury your feelings just because you are her legal guardian. Maybe because of you, she will get a family and she will feel at home in your mansion. You said she understood you despite you treated her badly. Given your personality, you will not get better than her. I know you don''t like dating multiple women to choose one. Since you like her, give yourself a chance to explore a new rtionship, you may fall for her eventually."


    n heard him but didn''t respond. He didn''t want to step ahead if it''s for only making her feel at home or alleviate the insecurity because the rtionship doesn''t stand on that...


    Isaac who waited pretty long saw his expressionless face only. Controlling himself from beating him, he asked, "For god''s sake, say something."


    n reacted by moving his eyes, "She is just a little girl."


    Isaac burst intoughter rolling on the couch, "Don''t tell me you think yourself as an old uncle just because you managing twopanies. You are just 22 and she will be eighteen soon. Four damn years. Buddy! wake up fast. You have to pursue her as a young man not as the CEO of twopanies."


    n pushed him away and went out.


    Isaac understood he was thinking about giving it a try hence started giving tips seeing n removing dried fallen leaves from the pool.


    "It isn''t difficult to woo a girl... Hmm, It is difficult for you though. Since your girl is super rich and very young, you just have to be there for her when she needs..."


    n nced at Isaac and continued his work remembering her reaction when he had said ''I''m there for you.''


    "Pamper her... Cajole her... Help her when she needs... Be protective... Know her likes and dislikes... Don''t force her... Defend her in public, correct her in private... Trust her... ... ..."


    Isaac went on and on with his advice as he followed him everywhere in the mansion who was cleaning up. n heard him all the time and handed a cloth to clean which Isaac did as he continued.


    When Isaac stopped they had cleaned the entire vi and settled on the couch. n passed him a ss of water, "You talk too much."


    Isaac gritted his teeth and gulped down the entire ss of water, "I..."


    n cut in, "What if she likes somebody else? Or... my brother?"


    Isaac scratched his head. He didn''t think that way even once. Seeing n leave, he thought he was dispirited. He got up and shot behind him towards the kitchen.


    "If your brother! I can''t say anything. If others, Steal her away man. Who can say no to your face and physique even though you are little off about girls."


    n handed him vegetables from the refrigerator to wash. "So! Do I have to be with a girl who likes my face and physique?"


    Isaac''s lips twitched. After remembering about whatever he heard about Aria, he spoke, "If President Cooper was somebody going behind face and physique, she would have proposed or clingy on you by now. She has hell lots of money so money doesn''t matter. So I think she just needs somebody who loves her unconditionally... Even if she stays with you for your face and body, isn''t that easier for you to woo her. Stop asking such questions. Be optimistic."


    n pursed his lips looking at annoyed Isaac. He just asked two questions and he was annoyed. "You put your diploma in psychology to good use." n started to cook with his help.


    Isaac shot him daggers, "If not, how could I even be with you and understand you?"


    n didn''t respond to it and Isaac continued to torture him with Aria''s name even after lunch followed by dinner. n couldn''t kick him out and he stayed over until the next day both dispersed towards their workces.


    --


    Eva, Rian, Noah, Aria went on shopping, movie, lunch, and yed in the arcade until they were tired. For dinner, they went to Eva''s ce whose mother had invited them for dinner.


    Four always liked Eva''s mother''s authentic Cantonese cuisine than in the restaurant. Hence they filled their stomach full before all shamelesslyying in the living hall.


    Noah and Rian went to a clubter for partying and drinking with other friends. A driver picked Aria back to the Morgan mansion.
