Chapter 22: Look for her
Aria poked Rian to tease, "Beauty! When did I become your kept woman? You didn't even give me any money or house. So mean."
Noah and Eva furrowed their brows. Rian spat at her, "Little devil! Don't you think you should keep me, you are richer than me? Wait let me add a comment."
"Sure Beauty Rian! Call me hubby, I will give a lakeside villa to you." Aria finished and started laughing. Actually, she was scared about thinking Rian might blast and take things seriously.
Eva and Noah were confused as hell. As soon as they reached, they got to know about a post in the school forum which their classmates asked to confirm.
The post was simple. "Skivvy trying to be Princess." With pictures of her riding a bicycle on the road and hopping on the car with Rian.
The first comment was, "Aria who always ran behind Rian found her chance to be with rich Rian Morgan after her father died. Is she a kept woman? Despicable!"
"Goddess Aria! I'm rich too. How about a night with me tonight?"
"We thought Goddess was with Prince, were you thrown out by him that you adjusting with a little prince?"
"Are you a shared b*tch? Who satisfies you better?"
.
.
Rian commented, "Hey there, there... How can I keep the Goddess? She offered me a lakeside villa to be her kept man. No jealousy, please, please. Thank you FairyPrincess for the idea, I got a villa. oh ho."
It wasn't even ten minutes, his comment got hundreds of replies including their classmates who hadn't commented to the post respecting Aria and their good relation with her.
Aria and Rian were having fun impressing everyone with their coordination.
News anyhow spread to teachers and called them the office room. Rian and Aria were bantering with each other on their way without getting affected by the post.
Isla Turner who had managed with great difficulty to get the photo of Aria cycling by paying huge sum was fuming red seeing Aria and Rian laughing at their own remarks as they walked.
She didn't expect them to be so shameless. But she didn't know they grew up together and know each other well than anybody else.
She was so mad that she broke her mobile on the ground to control her rage without showing on the face.
Rian and Aria entered as Rian asked, "Little devil! I don't want that."
"Get lost! I'm not giving that villa."
Both paused looking at all teachers watching them. "What happened?" Rian asked thinking there might be one more big news.
Emma controlled herself and curiously asked, "What were you talking now?"
"Oh! Teacher Emma, Rian asked he wants my beach house instead of the lakeside villa. I'm not giving him that. Hmph!" She moved her shoulder to let him lose balance who was resting his elbow on her shoulder.
All teachers were flabbergasted. Jade looked at the duo in amusement. Emma burst into laughter.
"Little devil! My brother already has a lakeside villa. I don't want a lake. I want a beach. You better give it to me... Teacher Emma! I had been there once and it is on the cliff with a scenic view. It's a large estate with a beautiful villa." Rian started daydreaming after saying it amorously.
Aria smacked on his head seeing his hazy face, "Don't even dream about it... Hmm, I can lend you that house for a month to your honeymoon with your wife. If you follow polygamy, then forget about it."
Emma coughed lightly to get their attention as other teachers didn't know how to react for that.
"Yes, Teacher Emma! you called us here for?"
Only Aria and Rian were active as all looked at them like aliens. Rian's comment brought everyone back to reality, "Are you all so impressed by my handsomeness that you are also planning to keep me too? I'm very poor, I don't mind a few more villas... I don't mind to take sports cars too."
Aria chuckled as she low fived Rian, "You are so shameless."
"You two... Leave leave... I thought you two will be sad but... Are you two here to make us feel poor? Leave." Emma thought Aria would be depressed and couldn't take it but thanks to humorous Rian, they were enjoying it another way around.
For a safer side, Emma informed everything to Alan so that if the matter escalates, he could handle it. She didn't hear any reply other than 'Thank you Ms.Husdon' before they ended the call.
The classes went on peacefully. Rian and Aria got weird looks when they went to the canteen which they ignored. After returning to their class, Noah and Rian who were outside called her and Eva out holding a cornetto.
Both skipped out to eat and realized Alan brought them. Alan was leaning on the railing looking at his mobile making the things around him look dull and faded. His assistant, Nathan stood aside.
She unwrapped her icecream as she heard Noah, "Brother Alan knows about the school forum post. He came to check on you guys. Rian..."
"I'm done! He is actually here for you." Rian replied savoring his ice cream.
Aria saw many people around them and other students peeking at them from different classrooms. Eating her ice cream she went towards Alan.
The latter, how much ever he tried to stay away or ignore her after hearing it, couldn't help but look for her to make sure she was really fine.
"Thank you for the ice cream, Young master Morgan." She didn't know how else to initiate the conversation.
Alan locked the phone screen in which he was checking an email. He nodded at her and asked gently in low voice, "How are you?"
"About the post in the school forum, it didn't affect us much. We are fine."
Alan lightly flicked on her head, "I asked about you. Are you really not affected by it?... You don't have to lie to me."
Aria was surprised by the gentle flick, so as Alan but the latter didn't show it on his face.
"To be frank, I expected such a post. It just arrived early than I thought. So I was mentally prepared for that. After reading the post, Yes! I felt bad. Thanks to Beauty... I mean Rian, he didn't take seriously too."
Seeing her smile, Alan's lips slightly titled up. "Don't you think, your maturity is above your age? If it was somebody else, they would be crying if I'm not wrong or they would fight with the other one."
