Chapter 385: Conflicting opinions


    Aria chuckled seeing her astonished, "If you love him, I can also help you kick his ass until he falls for you."


    Rose blushed hearing Aria but she didn''t start dreaming about dating him or marriage. She was really happy to know Aria was so supportive and encouraging. She pointed to the door and said, "I will get back to work."


    Aria nodded smiling resignedly seeing her run away. Thinking about how to give them a chance to spend time with each other, Aria dialed Dustin, Finn''s assistant''s number.


    After hearing his greeting, Aria asked, "Is there a secretary post-free?"


    "President Cooper, there is no vacancy." Dustin responded in confusion.


    Aria re-questioned trying to insinuate to him, "But Finn needs a personal female secretary, doesn''t he?"


    Dustin was smart in that matter, unlike boring Levi, "Ohhh... Personal secretary, Yes president Cooper, she is very much needed."


    Aria smiled hearing him easily switch his statement, "So, you know what to do, don''t you?"


    Dustin chuckled knowing Aria was going to send a girl, "I will inform you about the vacancy by the end of the day, President Cooper."


    "Smart, I will be waiting for your call then." She hung up the call hearing his response but there was something that was stopping her. She didn''t want Rose to fall in love and Finn to reject her. She didn''t want Rose to go through the pain all over again.


    Perplexed, shepleted her work soon and dropped at Morgan Industries. n was distressed and upset after hearing Rian about his grandfather so his mood was off the whole day.


    Unbeknown, Aria greeted him with a sweet smile, "Hello President Morgan."


    n wasn''t expecting her arrival but it wasn''t out of his expectation to see her either. He extended his hand cuing her to reach him. Aria happily skipped towards and sat on his legs. "Do you have lots of work?"


    n rested his head on her shoulder wrapping his hands around her waist pulling her closer, "I kind of feel stressed. Shall we go somewhere?"


    Aria frowned and pinched his cheek, "Why didn''t you call me before? Let''s go. We will do something new to rx you."


    n saw her quickly making calls without knowing he just needs her to rx his mind irrespective of ces. He wrapped up the work and left with her getting exclusive services from President Cooper.

    Kite''s dance studio


    n asked curiously, "Is this your stress buster?"


    Aria pouted, "Try first, if you don''t like, we can move to the next one."


    n was now surprised, "So there is the next one." Aria hummed and asked back, "Do you want to change to leisurewear?"


    n shook his head as he wasn''t in theplete set of formals, he just pulled his shirt sleeves up looking at her y music. He realized that instead of just dance, it was a progressive music rxation. After setting the music, the dance studio boy left them alone in the hall.


    In the soothing slow music, Aria and n''s moves were slow, steady, and gracious silently enjoying each other''spany. There wasn''t any noise like a cave in the quiet valley. A soft smile hung on Aria''s lips gracefully coordinating with n''s moves as they slow danced.


    Eva and Isaac were peeking at them through the ss. They had unexpectedly seen them at the dance studio so they had gone to see why they were practicing dance or was there a problem but got to witness them silently grooving to the music.


    Eva mumbled pitifully, "I want to dance too."


    Isaac chuckled hearing her and by seeing her make puppy dog eyes. "In the home or here?" He had his own personal studio in his vi.


    Eva grinned pointing inside. She pushed the door open and asked in a sunken voice, "Wifey, mind if we join?"


    Aria nced at n who was calm so she shook her head. Isaac was the surprised one there because he thought n wouldn''t like it. Without checking the time, they danced way too long until Kite and her students started peeping inside the hall.


    Then the couples went for a rxing jacuzzi followed by a sumptuous meal before dispersing to home.


    Aria asked after both finished the rest of their office work and snuggled on the bed, "Now tell me, what happened?"


    n knew she would understand if he says to drop the inquiries against Ford Gray but he felt it would be unfair for her. She hadn''t epted his n because of the fake proof they got, she had epted his n because of Rian''s life in danger.


    Going through so much and asking her to let off the real culprit was something he couldn''t make his mind to tell her. He didn''t want her to misunderstand them either when everything was settled. Even he started to feel like whether this peaceful period of life was calm before the storm. That slight panic wasn''t letting him speak.


    He was ready to lose anything but not her. He wrapped his hand tighter around her and lied, "Nothing." He wasn''t ready yet to handle her reactions.


    Aria wasn''t sure about what was going on in his head, thinking he might tell herter she hummed in eptance. "Alright, sleep now."


    n hummed and cuddled her to sleep but the thought of hiding it from her started eating him. They had sent Lucas Cooper to jail because he tried to take her away but it was started with his grandfather. When they did all that to punish Lucas Cooper, he felt too selfish for trying to save his grandfather.


    He also felt selfish by the thought of telling his mother who wanted nothing but their happiness and how could he even think of hurting her?


    With these conflicting opinions, he didn''t get sleep even after a long time. Laying Aria on the bed, he tucked her in and went to his study room with some files andptop to keep himself distracted. But he couldn''t even manage to concentrate for five minutes thinking about both the women in his life.


    He left theptop and took a file but reading after a few lines, his mind would still go back to the same problem bothering him continuously.
