Chapter 113: Do you like Aria Cooper?
Isaac''s lips twitched hearing n and drowned the drink before taking the new one. He thought he would embarrass Eva if he starts talking but he started to feel like she was avoiding him purposefully or was responding to him like a stranger.
Hembasted himself for thinking Eva likes him too.
n didn''t let Aria drink for anyone and drank for her if required. Amelia and Rowan greatly controlledughing looking at n who kept a poker face toasting on behalf of Aria confusing guests.
Aria knew most of the guest so the introduction wasn''t required and just for formality she was meeting them.
As they moved ahead, Aria met her uncle, he was the half brother of her mother Amelia parker. "Hello, Uncle Parker."
He was in histe fifties and likes Aria as his daughter. He rubbed her head adoringly, "My little girl is grown up."
Aria just smiled as Amelia and Rowan greeted him, "Vice president Parker. Thank you foring."
n didn''t care so Abel Parker greeted, "President Morgan, Chairman Morgan, Madam Morgan... Aria is very lucky to have you all. Thank you so much for looking after her."
Abel Parker was a vice president in Skyline industries for five years. Before that he worked as manager and director of a department in the Skyline industries.
Amelia smiled looking at Aria, "She is my child. No need for gratification."
They continued to talk. Aria was bored and was about to yawn, n pinched her arm and got elbowed by Aria. Amelia and Rowan were already used to their such interaction. Abel looked at them in amusement but didn''t dare to ask President Morgan.
They continued to talk and n''s main bodyguard reported something near n''s ear in low pitch. n nodded in return and took Aria''s ss to keep aside.
"Excuse us..." n emotionlessly said and took her outside.
Aria was about to punch him, n told the reason, "A surprise!"
"Oh!" Aria excitedly followed him as she deduced until she reached the main door, "Wow!"
She left n''s hand and ran towards the gift. n looked at his hand in air and Aria who was running around the brand new Mren P1 hybrid sports car.
Aria jumped on her toes as she surprisedly asked, "How did you know I like this car? Only Dad knew it."
Abandoned n sighed and smiled seeing her happy. "It was ordered by Dad Oliver for your eighteenth birthday."
As he expected, Aria froze, bit her lip and turned away from him. n went to her and hugged to calm her.
Rian and Noah who went out to check saw the car before announcing to all.
n kissed her forehead, "I was thinking to let you drive your new car. If you cry now, then forget it."
Aria left him and excitedly asked, "Am I allowed to drive alone?"
n pinched her cheek as he hummed, "I will test your skills tomorrow, then yes."
Aria was sure she could pass his test and was about to go for a test drive, all guests exited the main door eximing loudly because none in the country A had Mren P1 other than Aria.
All chimed to go with her for a test drive putting Aria in difficulty. She saw everyone and all thought she would choose n but she gave a sheepish smile before picking one, "Mum!"
Amelia proudly showed off, "My little girl loves me more."
All burst intoughter seeing Amelia tease n.
After going around the Cooper mansion and the uphill without exiting the Cooper estate, both returned to see n''s indecipherable face.
n took her near Harold Stanley and Finn Stanley''s table where Rowan was talking with Harold. Aria had failed to get anything from n and saw grandfather and Grandson sitting elegantly.
Aria remembered Harold. Seeing him with Finn she deduced correctly to his grandfather. She joined dots and understood why Finn was courteous to her.
The Morgan or Cooper''s family had no rtion with Stanley. n had got a call from security about their arrival. He didn''t want them to allow as they were uninvited but taken their power, social standing and for respecting Harold, he allowed to know the reason behind their arrival.
The Stanley family wasn''t somebody to visit random parties and they would always send pleasantries and gifts with their assistants or butlers to the invited party so n was very curious too.
Finn who saw Aria walking towards them froze for a second before diverting his gaze and furrowing. He was surprised by his own thought. He couldn''t understand why he suddenly feltplimenting her outer look.
Aria was delightful to the eyes.
Even though nobody noticed his briefest reaction, his grandfather was aware. Harold nced at the couple and saw the duo smiling at eachother. He had a very basic idea about n.
Rowan introduced Aria and Amelia to them and conversely. Harold was a stern old man who maintained his fit body irrespective of his old age. A smile appeared on his face hearing Aria greet, "Old master Stanley, Young master Stanley."
"President Cooper, you are very pleasing to the eyes. Do you remember this old bloke?"
Amelia, Rowan, and n turned to Aria in surprise. Thetter spoke respectfully, "I do, Old Master Stanley. How is your health now?"
The trio was even more confused but there was nothing on their face.
Harold nodded in satisfaction, "I''m fit and fine. We didn''t know about you so we never got a chance to show our gratitude to you."
n furrowed his brows. Aria inly said, "I helped which I would do to anybody."
Seeing three nk faces, Aria quickly brushed up the incident for them then stood up, "Please enjoy the party. I will join my friends."
She left leaving them to talk. Harold spoke, "I''m very sorry about our abrupt visit. The morning I returned so, I didn''t have time to give heads up. This child had rejected to take any favor. If there is anything, anytime and any day, please feel free to ask us. We will be very d to help you."
Amelia and Rowan looked at n who hadn''t cared to speak. Rowan was about to reject, n spoke, "Sure, If therees a day, we will surely contact you."
That surprised both Amelia and Rowan who managed to smile amiably.
Harold was happy hearing that. Rowan spoke, "Old master Stanley, you had a long journey, you should rest. Shall I ask to arrange a room for you?"
Harold declined, "It''s alright. I will get going... Finn, do you want to enjoy the party?"
Finn was dead silent for the whole time. He had to tagalong his grandfather hearing his order. He had no friends in the party as it was restricted to the people who Aria knew unlike how rich heirs celebrate calling the whole city.
"I will go with you, grandpa." He replied as he stood up with Harold. Both bid them and left.
After getting in the car, Harold asked curiously looking at Finn who was ying with his mobile, "Do you like Aria Cooper?"
