Chapter 16: I don't like jokes!

" He's my Cousin."

" He's my Cousin!"

Said the men at the same time.

"Ohhh! That explains your good looks!" She exclaimed making a fist in her palm, like she finally connected the dots to make a point.

The Fat purse and Mr.CEO had a pleasant surprised face, forgetting the position of their hands and happy that she thinks they're good looking.

The 2 men looked at the girl with pure fondness.

And they turned their heads at each other with the previous smile, looked down at their holding hands and immediately retreated, getting goosebumps all over their bodies.

A smile was threatening to form on her face, when she saw the 2 intimidating men's reaction.

'Bwahahahahahaha!, take that you jerk! Dare you try to trap ME of all people!??! In your head! Hmph!" she thought, rubbing her face with both hands in an attempt to stop herself, from breaking out into a laughter.

"So.... Problem solved?" she turned towards the ignored "Mr.CEO".

The "Mr.CEO" frowned in reply to her question.

"Why? You're quite talkative before... Cat got your tongue now?!? Mr. Aja.....Ray?!?" she said with a voice lacing with venom.

He has an impressed look, at her quick analysis in finding out his identity.

"When?" he asked with a small tilt of his lips.

"Guess?" she replied with a smirk.

"No wonder you have a degree in psychology with such an I.Q." he said finally.

Ari kept himself mute, silently making himself invisible.

"What else did you find out about me? Or should I ask, What else did you "DIG" in order to know my information?", she asked in a serious tone.

'That's it!', Ari thought.

'Thank you stupid Old man, for not giving me the remaining details!' he secretly thanked his father.

'She didn't know me then.' he confirmed his thoughts.

"You said 'I love you!'" he insisted.

"Huhhh?!??" She got annoyed now.

"Am I an idiot or what? To say that stupid words to all the passersby?!?" she roared at him out of pure annoyance.

Something clicked and she remembered what he was referring to.

"I was talking to myself and said that to the rain! Not youuu!**" she exclaimed, face palming herself for her solo conversation's.

"Wait! So, that's the reason you kissed me?!?"she pointed at him with accusation.

'You'll strangle me to death if I tell you the reason.' he spoke in his mind, keeping an impassive face to her accusation.

"We just had a crash, and bumped our lips" 'and kissed you to quench my thirst' he said with a semi conclusion and semi thoughts.

But she felt unsatisfied with his answer as there was more than a bump of lips that time.

Frowning, "Don't you ever try, prying my information again" she said with a complete seriousness.

"Deal." he said.

"I do not wish to see you again!" she declared.

"No!" he said

"Why?"she asked now, her frown turning into a glare.

"Because you will wish to, want to see me again" he said, confusing her.

Making a laugh that sounded like bells," What did you do now, to my...Job perhaps?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Too interesting," he said out loud, raising his eyebrows.

"Wow!!! I didn't know that, I Am a genius!" she exclaimed dryly.

"Don't worry." he said.

"I won't harm you." he reassured, surprising her,and himself when he saw the regret in her face.

"Oi Aja! What did you do?" asked Ari, with worry in his voice when he saw the regretful smile on her face.

"The plan's changed." he said to her with a straight face ignoring the annoying Brats question.

"Never come near me, ever again!" she said, with a voice that trembled at the end.

Aja was shaken to his core. Looking at her stubborn eyes, refusing the tears to drop out from them, was the last thing he expected.

'Wow! I can try aiming to be a professional actress! If not for my strong dislike to the Industry.' she thought, maintaining her tearful image.

'I bet you didn't know that I can act in such a realistic way, that even the superstar was influenced.'

When she rubbed her temples hardly in an attempt to stop her tears from flowing, she heard something that was not a part of her strategy.

"I am sorry" he said.'Well, you better be!' she thought, continuing her rubbing.

"You'll be my secretary from now on!" he said, continuing the previous sentence.

She stopped her rubbing, opened her eyes revealing pure fury like a volcanic eruption and directed them towards their prey.

But to her bad luck the other party was the predator himself.

"Don't make me take drastic measures Mr.!!" she said with clenched teeth. But her anger was creeping out from her like darkness that knows no bounds.

He was very familiar with this feeling. He suddenly felt that the information he got about her was not all that there is to her.

There is a very important link, that even he missed from his network.

Ari also felt the familiar feeling emitting from her, that was enveloping him.

"That's a joke!" said Aja, making the aura to be retreated instantly, without a single trace.

"I don't like jokes." she said blandly.

Ari's eyes popped out, listening that the Ice King actually made a joke and he was somewhat involved in the conversation. Though the person to which it was directed to, didn't even laugh.

'Talk about low E.Q!' he thought, looking at Aja with sympathy.

"Now! If there is nothing else, I am getting late to my meeting. Thanks for bringing my bracelet and pleased to meet you." she bowed and moved to get away from this place as soon as possible.

When she stretched her hand and was about to grab her bottle from the table, her fingers were interlaced and pulled with great strength. With another hand, her back of the neck was pulled, tilting her head in the process and sealed her mouth in an open kiss this time, quenching his thirst to the fullest.
