Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Alan didn't know Aria was going to pick him so the company car was present to pick.

Many were irritated by the continuous honk but they didn't dare to open mouth seeing the high profile car knowing it could only belong to high-status people who they shouldn't offend.

Alan passed his bags to Nathan instructing him before going near the car and knocking the window of driver seat elegantly.

When Aria rolled down the window, she grinned, "Uses of letting me drive. You get a free service."

Alan spoke formally, "Miss! Who gave you a driving license? This is a non-honking area. I hope you can see the board." He pointed out the signboard of 'No honk'.

Aria's lips twitched. 'Heartless businessman! Is this how you treat me for giving a surprise?'

"Handsome, when the cops and the public have no problem..." She pointed mute surroundings, the cops and security who were looking at them in awe. "Do you think I will... care?"

By the end she could finish, he pecked on her nose making blush. He went around and took a shotgun seat seeing her flushed.

He didn't tease her as she was driving and spoke. Both had lunch and Aria informed him she has to attend dinner with Kite Parker who requested her many times.

Alan gave her a displeased look before nodding and pulling her cheek, "Why does everyone want you?"

Aria poked Alan's arm instead, "Actually, Sister Kite like you for a long time. Will she think I stole you from her?"

Alan furrowed his brows, "Probably she knows we are together. How is she?"

Aria's eyes were wide open in shock, "You want to know about my cousin after hearing me say she likes you."

Jealous Aria made his day.

Alan controlled laughing at her face which Aria realized and answered, "I don't think she will hurt me. I'm her younger cousin after all and I didn't steal anybody anyway."

Alan helped her to sit in the Ferris Wheel letting the attendee close the door before pulling her next to him seeing her blush in awkwardness. "Why did you bring me here at this time?"

Aria had got to know he had never been to an amusement park or sat on any rides. "I will take you on other rides some other day. Today I want to show you something."

Alan prepared himself for the third surprise for the day after picking him up from the airport, her self prepared lunch date.

It took nearly fifteen minutes for them to reach the top at the correct time for sunset.

"Look look..." Aria pointed the setting sun, river and the city illuminating in reddish-orange color.

But he was dazzled looking at her and her smile instead of those.

He was really scared that the business world would take away her innocence when she takes over her company.

Aria who noticed his gaze on her turned his head to show the sun, "I said there."

Alan watched the sunset with her hearing her say about how she found the place.

After alighting, she ran towards free place holding his hand making him jog. She pointed him the sky as she explained, "It's a conjunction of mercury and venus appearing above the moon... Conjunction in astronomy means two space objects appearing in the same elliptical longitude. Isn't it beautiful at dusk?"

Alan hummed and smiled resignedly. He didn't know she got interested in Astronomy also.

He knew she would have watched it alone from her room balcony or terrace. Just to give him a break from work, she had planned all to make it memorable for them.

She was explaining about the conjunction of other planets which she had seen pictures leaning in his embrace. Seeing the eye-catchy couple, many couples noticed the sky and watched it for some time.

Aria giggled when she noticed them and hearing them guessing which stars those were.

Alan drove her car to the dinner venue and changed the car asking her to be careful and call him. Aria obediently agreed before entering inside.

Kite waved her hand at Aria sitting at the corner best table which had a good view. Aria who always saw Kite reserved was surprised to see talking so much about her work, endorsements and her acting gig.

They had ordered quite a few dishes and ate as they spoke. "Sister Kite, you ordered so much, why are you eating just green salad?"

Kite was already astonished seeing her enjoy nonvegetarian without worrying about calories. Giving an awkward smile she responded, "I'm on diet. I ordered these for you."

"Oh! Sister Kite how can I finish seven dishes alone. We are just wasting food." Aria looked pitifully at some dishes. She had already had too much so she stopped and asked of lime juice for easier digestion.

"Arrie, how do you manage your body? Do you have a special workout routine?" She enviously asked stabbing lettuce in her bowl with a fork.

Aria lightly shook her head, "I don't do any such things other than an aerial hammock for fifteen minutes."

'Heh! Aerial hammock? Such a good lie.' She had tried for a year and didn't see any improvement so she thought Aria was lying her.

"Nice! Do you plan on entering the showbiz or fashion industry?"

The main aim of Kite meeting Aria was to get as many as information as possible and convince her to recommend her to the movies Isaac takes or the movies Skyline invests because Abey didn't like showbiz so didn't help her either.

Aria shook her head, "I can't act. And those areas never made me feel like trying."

"Oh!" She gave pause and asked curiously, "Arrie! Don't you think managing two companies would be difficult for President Morgan? When are you taking over?" So that she could leave Alan and the Morgan family soon.

Aria nonchalantly responded, "After five or six years. After completing my education. Alan told me not to worry about the company, he will manage."

Kite gritted her teeth. She felt like Aria looking down on her for not completing her schooling hearing her mention 'education'. She purposefully asked to know, " 'Alan?' Are you guys so close? A friend?"

Aria didn't hide and hummed, "Fiance."

Kite widened her eyes in shock and forgot why she was there. She thought they were dating and she still had a chance. "Fiance? Did you propose to him? Arrie, you are very despicable... You knew I always liked him, don't you? You were present whenever I asked Uncle Oliver to take me to meet him. Why do you always snatch what's..."

Aria was shocked seeing her resentful high pitched tone. It wasn't a private room so that attracted everyone's attention. "Sister Kite! Mind your tone."
