Chapter 48: Nervous breakdown patient


    After changing, Aria came out as she always does to ask her friends who always shopped with her. She was going back realizing it was n, Thetter asked, "Why are you going back?"


    Aria turned to n who was sitting, "How is it looking?"


    n saw her wearing a miniskirt which was filled with a different type of sequins horizontally and she had matched with a ck full sleeve thin wide-necked pullover whose hem was in a slope.


    "Impressive." She looked spunky.


    Aria nodded and asked the salesgirl, "Do you have nude colored pumps in size five?"


    "Yes, miss! I will get it to you right away."


    She got them in a minute and wore them sitting next to n. She checked in the mirror opposite to them. n looked away from the mirror controlling his emotions.


    Aria slipped after a step who was held by the salesgirl, "Miss, careful." She helped Aria to sit.


    n asked worriedly, "What happened?"


    "My feet are hurting. The pain increased wearing high heels." Aria responded to him and wore her ballerina.


    n furrowed his brows. He analyzed to understand she had feet pain from morning due to running, they strolled in the mall for more than three hours and she didn''t show anything on her face till then.


    He held her arm to face him, "Is it fun to hide the pain?"


    Aria was taken aback. "It isn''t paining wearing these shoes. Heels and stairs are a little difficult. I''m really fine... I''m not lying."


    n rxed a little after that. Aria breathed a sigh of relief.


    The salesgirl smiled hearing them, "Your boyfriend looks after you well Miss."


    n responded to it, "Shouldn''t Boyfriend treat his girlfriend well?" He didn''t mention himself as he was Aria''s boyfriend.


    n was satisfied with Aria''s annoyed face hearing it. He took his childish revenge.


    Aria entered the trial room and changed cursing n in mind. She didn''t say herself as the girlfriend of n to that middleaged man. He assumed himself andmented.


    <em>''Who the hell wants to be your girlfriend? Hmph.''</em>


    n didn''t let her pay for her dress and shoes. He paid and ordered her to stop the shopping.


    After contemting, Aria asked gingerly in the car, "Are you free in the evening to help me with chemistry?"


    n hummed and nced at her, "You don''t have to think too much to tell and ask anything to me. Alright?"


    Aria who was affected by his way of responses, answered, "Oh"


    n waited for a few seconds before asking, "What does ''oh'' mean?"


    Aria looked at him and chuckled, "Oh! You are the one who always uses it. So please broaden my views by telling what it means."


    n: "..."


    He didn''t rebuff. After some time, he got a call from Nathan which he received on his Bluetooth earphones. Aria just heard hums three times before saying, "Arranging conference after an hour."


    He nced at Aria, "Aria! Do you need some change over from the mansion?"


    "Huh?" Aria didn''t understand him.


    n patiently responded, "I have a file in my vi which I have to use for the urgent video conference. If you are fine, I will take you there... If I leave you alone, you will start overthinking again and I don''t want to leave you alone at the mansion."


    "Aunty Lilly will..." ''be present.''


    n cut in, "Oh yes! She was present yesterday too. But you still ended up..." n didn''t continue.


    Aria who heard ''an urgent video conference'' agreed, "Alright!"


    n deviated towards his vi and increased the car speed. Aria understood he was in a hurry and some problems arose. "Did anything happen at work?"


    n nced at her, "Don''t worry about thepanies."


    Her dad always said the same to her. She could only nod and remain quiet as he sped past on the highway.


    Even after half an hour and a high speed, they were still on the road. "Why do you stay so far?"


    He replied after a few seconds, "Peaceful surrounding, fresh air, no trespassers, no disturbance, nature..."


    "Do you have any serious mental condition or any illness? Why do you sound like you are living in a recuperation center? Morgan estate is huge, out of the city and all those amenities are present there too."


    n knew Aria was always straightforward but... "Aria! Can you carefully choose your words? Why are you making me sound like a nervous breakdown patient?"


    Aria pursed her lips and controlled, "I''m sorry! I didn''t mean to say that. I will go around the mountain from next time instead of being blunt."


    n''s lips twitch and saw her giggling. What she meant was she would say it in a different way instead of saying it directly.


    "Okay! Out of Cooper mansion and Morgan mansion, which is beautiful by surrounding and everything."


    Aria replied, "Cooper mansion."


    "Why? Doesn''t the Morgan mansion has everything too?"


    Aria nodded and seriously replied, "Cooper mansion is on uphill andplete surrounding belongs to us. since we have preserved it, Keeping the scenic views aside, the air freshness is very good. we could see many types of birds and hear their chirping. we could watch the sunrise and sunset which is hard to get in the Morgan mansion and there is a stream too."


    n parked the car in the vi garage and turned to her, "You just described what I said in a single word."


    Aria bit her tongue and alighted making him chuckle.


    Aria froze after looking at the vi. She tugged n''s sleeve when he was passing by, "This vi..."


    "What''s wrong?" He saw her in shock.


    "This vi design draft was mine which was improved by the architects. Is this constructed by Skyline Constructions?"


    n was surprised too. He had got ten architectures from which he chose one and that was Aria''s design. "Ms.Architect! May I know what and all you are talented in? There is too much to know about you."


    Aria shook her head as n led her ahead, "That draft was my imagination in the painting ss at school. Dad liked it and asked me if he can use it. That''s how it reached Skyline. I don''t even know A from Architecture."


    n pressed digits on the digital lock which opened the small screen to a biometric machine, After scanning, he took her inside seeing her shocked expression.


    <em>''Is this a bank or something?''</em>


    n didn''t respond to her shock. "Make your self home. I will be upstairs. If you need anything,e upstairs, don''t hesitate. Alright?"


    "Okay! I will look around." Aria pointed stairs to him so that he could carry on his work.


    n rubbed her head gently before going upstairs.


    Aria was stuck on the bay window looking at the amazingke view. She saw she could go near theke descending the stairs.


    Feeling thirsty, she went to the open kitchen and checked the refrigerator for some fruits. She prepared juice for herself before calling the housekeeper Lilly to ask about n.


    After her instructions, she searched the coffee beans and filled the coffee maker with beans and water before grounding and brewing as per n''s taste.


    She hesitatingly went upstairs to see a single room on the vast floor simr to n''s room in the Morgan mansion. She raised the cup at n when he looked at her. She quietly kept it on his table and left without saying anything.


    Overseas managing director of Skyline branch and other executives were stunned on the screen seeing n''s rapturous smile.
