I just need two favors

" I know you investigated me. You could just sit down and talk. I will always answer you honestly." He told her with a sigh. Genesis laughed. " Why would I-"

"You investigated him?" She heard Aiden ask from behind her. Genesis closed her eyes and sighed. She slipped away from Andrew's hold and turned around to face Aiden. She could tell he was angry and she felt guilty. 'I have valid reasons. It should be fine if I explain right?' She thought.

" He's not important let's go." She told him. " If he isn't important then why are you investigating him? Perhaps you care about what he has been up to…." He assumed. He knew that assuming was a very bad idea on his part but he couldn't help it. The only thing that he's afraid of is losing her to him.

Genesis gaze him a questioning gaze. 'Is he doubting where my heart lays?' She thought.

" Your engagement with her isn't the foundation of love. What did you expect? She was with me for years, why does it surprise you that she still cares for me?" Andrew taunted. He walked nearer and gave him a challenging glare to which Aiden gladly responded.

" Why aren't you answering? Is it that you are aware of this truth?" Andrew continued. "Enough!" She yelled.

" Care for you? The only thing I have left for you is disgust!" She gave him a look of disdain. She held onto Aiden's hand and pulled him inside the elevator. She pressed the first-floor button and crossed her arms.

" Why didn't you answer?" She questioned him. " I wanted to see how you would answer." He responded with his hands in his pockets. Genesis sighed. " I haven't even read the file." She told him.

"So you did investigate him." He answered coldly. "Well yes but, I needed to know where he's getting all of his information. I don;t even know how he found out that I investigated him." She answered.

"You know he isn't wrong. You were with him for a long time. It's only obvious that he knows the way you think, the people you speak with, and the connections you reach out to for information." He enlightened her. Genesis looked up at him and finally realized.

That is true. For someone who knows her so well it's easy for him to guess the decisions she would take and the people she would reach out to. He even knows these people.

" Investigating him would be of no use." He added. " He can easily cover his tracks."

Genesis bit her lip. " You seem to forget that I exist. I could do an even better investigation and give you everything you need." When the door opened he exited and didn't speak anymore.

Inside the car, a pin drop of silence happened. None of them spoke. While one thought of their mistakes and felt regretful the other was hurt and insecure.

Just when he thought he was a step closer he must take a step back. He drove towards the restaurant and not once did he look at her. He felt her glances but he didn't want to look at her. This time she would have to reach out to him. He started feeling that everything might just be one-sided love.

He decided to wait. It's better to stop here and not get hurt later, he determined. He decided to let her think things over before something else happens and their relationship wavers. Meanwhile, Genesis starting thinking things over.

She sighed when she saw they had arrived at the restaurant. She picked up her things and came out of the car before he could open it for her. They walked inside side by side but there was some sort of wall between them. At that moment a very stressful division between the two was present. Neither of them could take it.

One moment everything was fine and the next something had to ruin it. What they needed to work on is to be able to maintain their happy moments and not let those other things affect their relationship. They still had a lot to work on before any serious step could be taken.

They entered the restaurant and they were taken to the private room Aiden's aunt had booked. Inside a woman in her mid-thirties was inside. Nex to her was her seven-year-old son. She is the youngest sibling Aiden's mother has, and the only relative from the outer branch of the Millers that Aiden talks to.

The woman took a sip of her coffee and watched her son eating his chocolate chip cookie. "Mommy when will uncle get here?" The little boy asked. " Be patient he will be here soon. He will bring your auntie along too." She patted his head affectionately.

The little boy nodded and continued eating.

Genesis looked around the room as soon as she entered. She had a serious expression and so did Aiden. Aiden greeted his aunt with a small smile and took a seat. Genesis also greeted her politely and didn't sit down. Right now she was taking the role of Aiden's assistant and not his fiance.

"You can sit down Genesis. It's nothing serious." Anastasia told her and Genesis sat down obediently. She gave the small boy a sweet smile as she watched him eat his cookie in silence. His mother raised him well. Despite wanting to jump into his uncle's arms and hug him he listened to his mother and waited for the formal business to be done.

Anastasia is is the opposite of her older sister Mrs.Miller. Her sister is polite and a person to get along with well but she isn't overly sweet and innocent as her sister. Although she is a person to get close to with not much difficulty she isn't like her sister who is very outgoing and expresses her emotions openly.

In some ways her character resembled Genesis.

" It's good to see you too again." She told them and both Aiden and Genesis nodded. Noting their seriousness Anastasia didn't bother to do some sweet talk.

"I'm going to get straight to the point. Our sales have been decreasing lately and we need a new manager that can be in charge of the new product. I and my husband have a bit of a rivalry with some people and they played us dirty. The only people I can place my trust in this industry is you guys." She informed them.

" Aiden you focus on more on designing and fashion, this is why I'm going to need your fiance's help. I only hope to get two favors from her." She glanced at Genesis as she took another sip of her coffee.

Aiden also glanced at her. Genesis smiled. " What can I help you with Mrs. Jen?" Genesis called her by her married last name. She had not gotten the chance to get close to her, so she decided to be formal until given the freedom of acting more friendly.

" Just refer to me as your aunt, you will be my niece-in-law soon anyway." She chuckled and Genesis nodded. " There isn't much I'm asking for actually, first of all…."

" It would mean a lot if you can take care of my son for some time."
