Chapter 17 Acting!

She sat there on the bed looking straight to his eyes as he explained. "I want you to act..." He took a pause and continued "like my wife." "Your wife! No ways!" Arien denied without thinking twice. "You'll have to!" He ordered again. "Who you think you are to order me!" Every time he ordered her like his servant, she becomes furious. "Explain it, then I'll think about it." Knock knock! The knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Dean entered. It doesn't seem a good time to enter. "Assistant Dean" Arien spoke "you are here really at a good time tell your director to take in account, his anger and bossy attitude." Dean was shocked. He looked at Arien then at Devian then back at Arien. "What should I say now!" He thought "it really doesn't seem a good time!" "Director........" Devian gave a glance and Dean suddenly shut up. "What are you scared of? He's just a ... A pervert. Tell him not to order." Arien said as if ordering. Dean was stuck. He came to ask the director about work and now! "He thinks too highly of him. Huh! He's just ... disgusting!" Arien spoke while looking to Devian. "Director Lyle! He's quite! Oh my director!" Dean felt pity on him thinking how he used to be and how he's now. He was being ordered by a girl how pitiful. "Just do it. Start explaining and I'll think. It's a deal." Arien was still not in a mood to give in that easily. "She's making a deal with the Ace Corp's president! She's damn... Awesome!" Dean thought! "What if our director married her instead of that boastful Miss Susan Hayes." "Leave" Devian's cold voice bought him back form his fantasies. Dean knew that the place he is in, is too dangerous. If he doesn't leave now he'll be eaten by his director. He took a step back. "He'll not leave!" Arien shouted. You should know how to talk to your subordinate!" "Then what should I say?" Devian spoke raising his eyebrows. "Say sorry!" Arien raised her eyebrows as well. Devian: "Sorry?" Dean: "Sorry!" "I'll not......." "You have to... Or else find someone to play your 'wife' in front of your parents" Arien didn't let him speak. "Director, Miss Jenner, I'll leave now." Dean knew he will be killed by his unpredictable director! What will he do? How will he escape? "You won't leave until he apologizes." Arien commanded. "You....." Devian was at a loss of words for Arien. This girl is senseless. Messing with such a big shot! "Go on. I'm listening to it" Arien sat relaxed with her arms folded. "What should I do now?" Dean stood there unable to move thinking about what will happen next. How is his director going to punish this girl! But to his surprise!! "I'm sorry" Devian sat beside her. His head upright but his eyes were fixed on Dean as if he was asking him to get out! Dean got the clue and walked out. Actually he was running... For his life! But what did he just saw? His master apologizing!. After Dean went out, the inside was again deadly silent. "Go away" Arien was not not in a mood to talk with this crazy man. It was night and she was already exhausted. "Let me sleep." "Be my wife...." Devian said "Ah... What!?" Arien was shocked her face till the tip of her nose turned red. "I mean..." Devian never was so nervous even when he took over Ace Corp but this little girl made him so nervous. "What?" Arien asked. Her words seemed polite with a hint of shyness. "I mean..." Devian coughed and continued "be my wife in front of my family. They'll be coming next week." "But why?" She was curious. "Why did this man wants a wife in front of his family?" She thought. "They want me to marry someone and I don't want to" Devian answered honestly. "And the reason is?" Here came her another question. "Just do it" Devian said arrogantly "Me?" Arien pointed towards her nose and asked. "Yes. Is there anyone else in the room? Whom will I ask if it's not you?" Devian said as if he was determined to make her his wife! "Okay I'll think." Arien said and walked towards the washroom to clean up and go to sleep. Little did she knew she would again be caught by this 'devil'. "Ahh....!" And she was again stuck between him and the wall! "Who gave you the permission to think before saying yes?" Devian spoke "I have the right to take my decisions......" "Who said?" Devian came closer and spoke near her ears. His warm breath made her uncomfortable. "Leave me, you're nobody to take the decision on my behalf. You......." She was kissed by this bastard again! She pushed him hard. He didn't move rather his kiss became fierce. The more she struggled, the more breathtaking it was. She lost her strength and felt dizzy and finally stopped struggling. He let her go after she stopped pushing. She looked straight into his deep black eyes. "Why can't I resist this man!" She thought He held her waist and pulled her close. And bend again to kiss her but this time it was no more fierce rather it was warm and overwhelming and... irresistible. His touch of lips was like a smooth flow of a river, giving a relief and a sense of protection. She didn't know when she started reciprocating to it. Arien came to her senses only when the door suddenly opened. "Damn it!" Devian thought and glared at Dean. "What I did? I didn't knock! I entered again! I'm used to it what should I do? I'm going to die! I offended the God. My life is over! Everything is over! I'm gone!" Dean went blank. With his blank expression, he made a gesture as if he has already dead. "Speak?" Devian kept glaring "Director how will I speak when I'm already dead?" Dean thought. "Ugh ugh!" He was still in his daze when he heard a cough. "I'll leave first" Arien was red with embarrassment. Devian's Special Assistant saw them 'kissing'! "Miss Jenner, please don't leave! Please don't leave me here with this beast" Dean can just think and not speak that out. "Nobody will leave." Came Devian's voice. "Thank heaven! I'll not be alone now!" Dean gave a sigh of relief in his heart. "Ahh.... Okay!" Arien agreed. "Speak?" Devian ordered this time in ice cold voice. "Director, the file you asked is ready." Dean passed the folder to him. "Anything else?" Devian asked. "I'll leave." Dean left in a hurry, again running for his life. "Here look." Devian passed the folder to Arien. "What's it?" Arien took a look at the document and her expression changed. She was terrified! ...
