Chapter 7 A plot against Arien

Devian's attitude stunned Arien. She was so angry that she wanted to throw this man out of the car. "Do you want to go back to Lyle mansion with me?" Devian's voice bought her back "Never....I'll " she shouted "Then why don't you go to your friend's place? Or do you want to spend more time with me?" Devian cut Arien's words and spoke casually. Ashley, who was waiting at the door for almost an hour, saw Arien in a black Mercedes car. She walked to the car and waved at the window. "Girl, you're late. I have been waiting for you for hours!" Ashley's eyes swept from Arien to the man on the driver seat. "You bought your boyfriend with you. And why didn't you tell about it. Why didn't you tell me that you're dating such a handsome young man." Without letting Arien say a word Ashley kept chattering. "He can afford a luxurious car, he's definitely a rich person. Come let's go inside and talk." She had already opened the door of the car and pulled Arien out. "Come, young man, let's sit and talk." Saying this she had already walked to Devian's side and opened the door for him. Both Devian and Arien didn't get a chance to explain and Ashley kept on speaking and babbling, leading the way ahead' "Since how long have you been dating each other?" "Both of you complement each other perfectly." "Oh.. Arien is he Mr. Lyle you are staying with?" she questioned Arien. Ashley Collen was rather a sensible girl. She speaks whatever she has in her mind. If she gets someone who is like her she would not hesitate. In short she is a chatterbox who could keep babbling for a whole day and night and would still not stop. "Why don't you also spend the night here. I know I have a lot to talk to Arien but I wouldn't disturb your night. You see I live alone so you both would definitely not be disturbed. I have a nice room for both of you" She didn't give both any chance to intervene and kept speaking. Devian "....." Arien "....." Both of them looked at each other at the same time and their eyes met. Arien's face was flushed with embarrassment. Her heartbeat was fast and she was trying her best to keep calm but she was still not able to hide her blushing cheeks. Devian didn't know what he felt when he heard Ashley's words. He had a gush of mixed emotions in his heart. "When are you planning your wedding?" "Wait wait wait! Ashley! We're not what you think." Arien tried to clear things. "You are not going to marry?" Ashley was confused "It's not like that...." Arien continued. "So what's it like, Miss Jenner?" Suddenly Devian's gentle voice came from the side. There was a smile in his eyes. "I think we should put on a grand marriage ceremony" "Shut up Devian!" Arien was astonished to hear such words from him. "Why are you confusing her?" Devian shrugged his shoulders "What did I do?" And acted as if he don't know what's happening here. Ashley didn't know what to say. She was so confused after hearing both of them. "I'll leave first" Devian spoke looking at his watch, "Miss Collen, please take a good care of my girl." "My girl?" Arien glared at Devian fiercely. He noticed her expression. She looked really cute when she was angry, but he decided to ignore her. He stood up, bid his farewell to Ashley and left. He completely ignored her the whole way outside which made Arien even angry. After he left Ashley pulled Arien back and asked her to clear everything between her and Devian. ... Devian drove back home. On the way his work phone rang. He picked it up and it was special assistant Dean on the other side. "Speak" as a man of few words, Devian only said that but Dean knew his director well and reported "Robert's son has been contacting them through other means. We are not able to get his parents location." "Hmm" Devian's response was as usual. Dean knew what he had to do next so they hung the phone. After returning to Lyle mansion, Devian had no mood to sleep. He entered his study and started with his work. No doubt he could get this high position of the unfathomable businessman in such a young age of 26. He would work had putting his sweat and blood into his work. But today, it was different. Even though he had all his files and documents open in front of him, he was still absent-minded, thinking about the kiss. Definitely it was not common for such a cold and aloof CEO to lose his control in front of a girl. But Arien was different. He wanted to keep her by his side. "Sigh.." now he had no mood to work, neither did he want to sleep. He didn't know why his heart was in a mess after he met Arien. What was so special in her? ... "So it's just because he had saved you that he want you to pay him! He's a complete scatterbrain!" Ashley could not believe in her ears and shouted. "That's it." Arien agreed. "But he looks so kind and charming, just like a hero." Ashley again raised her voice "How could he do that ! I'm not going to spare him for doing this to my dearest friend!" "My dear miss Collen, can you please calm down, I'm sleepy." Arien was good in bonding with people. Even though she didn't remember anything about Ashley, she could still say that Ashley was her sister by soul. After having a good chat they had dinner both the girls decided to sleep early and go to shopping the next day. ... Devian didn't sleep well last night yet he was not down. He got up as early as possible and left the Lyle Mansion. Even his special assistant Dean didn't know where his director was heading to. From when his director has got Arien by his side he has been getting missing almost everyday. It was only 5th day and yet he was again missing for maybe 7th time. As Ashley and Arien walked out of the house Arien noticed a familiar figure leaning on a black Mercedes. He wore a black suit. He was an epitome of a perfect man. "Why's he here again?" Arien could not help but nod helplessly. "Oh, Your boyfriend, Arien look........" After receiving a glare from her, Ashley finally corrected her sentence. "Mr Lyle's here. May I ask why." Both the girls walked towards him while Ashley, the chatterbox, kept speaking.
