Chapter 624: A Shy Little Girl


    When Noor alighted the car at a Japanese restaurant, she suddenly realized she was smiling and she wasughing in the car, all the way, to the restaurant without even realizing it.


    Recalling everything, she could feel Arsh wasn''t much different other than talking just a little more and revealing tiny expressions here and there. It was her who waspletely differentpared to how she used to behave and how she is.


    She discerned that because of his calmness, she was trying to be silent, afraid of annoying him. Now that she knows Arsh likes her, she was rxing around him. And due to her liveliness around him, Arsh appeared lighter and warmer than usual. Whereas he was the same to others.


    Instead of going inside, she waited for Arsh to park the car and reach her. Rooney had left half a way to pick Jasmine.


    "What''s wrong?" Arsh asked seeing her eyes glued on him, nkly staring at him.


    Noor shook her head with a faint smile.


    Arsh nodded without being able to read her thoughts. "Let''s order. Roo and Jazz will reach soon."


    Noor hummed as she walked inside the restaurant with him. She could still vividly remember, Arsh had patiently taught her how to hold the chopsticks and eat. She smiled involuntarily at the memories while going inside.


    Arsh had expected her to behave like a frightened kitten but she was smiling to herself many times. If he asked, she was shaking her head.


    Both ordered food for their double date and the food was served when Rooney and Jasmine entered the hotel with one angry and another oneughing.


    Jasmine sat next to Noor and startedining about Rooney while Rooney was chuckling. Hence without awkwardness, the double date lunch was smoothlypleted.


    After lunch, Jasmine lied as she needed to study so that Noor could spend some quality time with Arsh. Rooney said he will drop her home. Noor didn''t bother them and sent them before getting in Arsh''s car.


    Arsh didn''t drive the car, to confirm she wasn''t wishing to go home, "Would you like to go somewhere?" He didn''t speak about his n.


    "Hmmm." She gave it a thought before she nodded, turning to him, "I want to go fishing."


    Arsh: "..."


    Could he pinch her and check she was real? He couldn''t believe she didn''t say ''home'' or ask him if they should go somewhere.


    He dropped his n as he thought about where he could take her. Once he selected the ce, "Alright." It was better to fish in the evening or before lunch instead of under the zing sun. Since she rarely asked something, he didn''t deny her.


    Noor: "..."


    She blinked at him when he drove the car out as he dialed somebody to arrange the things required for fishing.


    After his call, "A-are you taking me out for fishing?" She asked in shock.


    Arsh felt something off. He pressed on the brakes and turned to her. "What''s cooking in your little brain?"


    Noor awkwardly smiled, looking away from him, "Mom said I can make any unreasonable request and you won''t get angry. I... tried it."


    Her mother had asked her to spend time with him and slowly decide if she really wanted him in her life. When Noor had said Arsh might get annoyed if she wastes his time so her mother had tried to make her understand, if Arsh could get annoyed so easily, he wouldn''t have waited for her so many years. She had also added, he might fulfill any childish request she makes without judging her.


    Arsh smacked her head. "Idiot." He sighed. He should have thought about it when she so easily came up with it.


    He had always seen his parents. His mother always did ording to their likes and wishes whereas his father always chose his mother''s preferences. Noor was a person who thinks about the rest, so Arsh wanted to do anything Noor would wish for as she hardly asked for anything.


    He asked her again before deciding where to go, "Tell me what YOU want to do? If you want to test my tolerance, let''s try it out too." He had extreme tolerance and patience, thanks to Noor,


    Noor had no ns to test his tolerance, She focused on what they could do together. She hesitated before speaking mysteriously, "Could- Could we catch some fish, grill them and eat?"


    They just had their lunch!


    Arsh thought where they could fish, grill, and enjoy themselves. A ce shed in his mind, his father''skeside vi in the outskirts of the city.


    If they shop some ingredients on the way, they could have dinner and return to the city.


    When Arsh took a few more seconds, Noor thought she might have put up an unreasonable request as fishing is already difficult in the city, she even added eating.


    "It''s" She saw him nod at her and press the elerator to leave the hotel, "Really!?" There was excitement in her tone.


    "Yes, Noor Woods. We will eat the fish you catch." He mused seeing her excited for just that.


    Against what Arsh and others were expecting, Noor was a bit faster. She didn''t only start enjoying Arsh''spany, she started nning her week-long holidays with Arsh. That left him stunned the whole evening.


    Arsh had noints so he heartily epted each request and wish, sealing his week-long schedule with her.


    ----


    Meanwhile, Arna whopleted her day''s work quickly dropped by at Skr. She greeted her mother before skipping to Ivan''s office room.


    She knocked on the door and peeked her head inside. She saw him cue her to get inside without lifting his head. Puffing her cheeks, sheined going inside, "You aren''t excited to see me. And here I came all the way to see you."


    Ivan left the pen down, lifted his gaze from the file to Arna''s sulking face. A mischief glint shed in his eyes. He asked suggestively, "Were you... expecting me to pin you against the wall as soon as I see you?"


    Arna: "..."


    She had just expected a tiny smirk on his face. She tried to speak but the words didn''t leave her lips.


    Was she looking like a little girl to shy at his words? She wanted to prove to him, he has a shameless one as his fiancee.


    She went around the desk leaving her handbag on the desk. She grabbed his tie, dipping her head, she seized his lips without an ounce of hesitance.


    Ivan: "..."


    Ivan knew she wasn''t a shy little girl. He had teased her to exchange some counters and flirt. From the looks, she wasn''t into words but actions.


    His hand snaked around her waist, pulling her on hisp, straddling him before responding to her luscious lips that were tempting him.
