Chapter 6
Finally satisfied with their dessert, they pulled Hunter to accompany their so-called shopping.
After few shops, girls went inside a lingerie shop leaving Hunter outside. A dress caught his attention, he walked closer to get a clear look, it was a wine colored party dress where shoulders and hands were with transparent material and the remaining dress has self-embroidery on it. He wanted to buy it for Eva but before he could go in, a woman bumped into him making his shirt wet with her beverage.
"What a mess, can't watch where you are going and bumping into people" the woman shouted, her outburst received a lot of attention
"Excuse me, I was just standing you are the one who bumped into me" said frowning Hunter
"Hah! I know people like you who do these cheap things and demand compensation, I am not stupid to fall for your tricks" the woman shouted again
Hunter glared at her and walked away
'Stupid woman' thought Hunter
"What an arrogant man" said the woman angrily
"I think its you who is arrogant" shouted Harper

Mall Lounge
A man hurriedly entered the lounge and walked to a man whose is busy with his laptop and said "Sir your aunt is making trouble again"
The other man sighed and said "She never allows people to live peacefully" then closed his laptop and followed his assistant
When he reached , he saw his aunt was arguing with two women
'what a headache' he thought
While he was walking to them, he heard one woman's voice "I think its you who is arrogant"
"Don't be a busybody and mind your own business" said his aunt angrily
"I have lot of free time so I can be a busybody and involve" said the same woman
"Harper, let me speak" said the other woman by pulling the woman named Harper's elbow
"What happened here" the man asked his assistant
His assistant briefly explained him the incident
"You bump into people but blame others and even calling them names hah! You really got a nerve" said Harper angrily
" You.. involving in other's business like a shameless and asking me about my nerve" his aunt shouted back
"Let's clam down first" said his assistant breaking their oral fight
" Who are you" asked Harper
His assistant gave them my card and introduced himself
-------
On the card Andrew Ogden, GM(Design) MH Group
After returning the card to Andrew's assistant both Harper and Eva looked at Andrew as if asking 'why are you here'
"She is my aunt" said Andrew without much expression
"Madam why don't we clear the issue peacefully by going somewhere" suggested Andrew's assistant
"Why are you getting involved I can handle them" said Andrew's aunt in a low and obedient voice
Sensing her change in tone, Harper gave a second look to Andrew with a raised eyebrow
But a voice interrupted them
"Girls!" Hunter's voice
"Oh! Its him, that cheap man" said Andrew's aunt
"Hey you lady, mind your tongue" rebuked Harper angrily
"Aunt Stella"
Andrew's aunt who wanted to talk back but Andrew's angry voice made here stop
Seeing a strange man with overbearing attitude around the girls, Hunter increased his pace and shielded girls behind him.
Hunter has a strong presence or aura which gave even the overbearing Andrew an inferior feeling
Hunter's shirt is still wet as he just cleaned it in the mall's washroom, noticing this Andrew understood that he must the man his aunt bumped into.
"I will compensate for the shirt and end this matter" said Andrew rather domineeringly not to wanting be backed down by Hunter's presence
Angry Harper said "You both are the same over spoiled rich jerks" and turned and said "Eva, Let's leave them and their ego"
'Did she just called me jerk' thought Andrew and glared at Harper who stood to the left of Hunter
Andrew's assistant saw his boss's dark face and had a bad intuition and started thinking ways to settle this matter.
"Apologize" said Eva breaking the silence
"What" confused Andrew looked at Eva who is to the right of Hunter
"We don't want your money, just make her apologize for her behavior" said Eva staring at Andrew
"Aunt Stella, apologize to them" ordered Andrew
Under Andrew constant glare unwillingly Aunt Stella walked to the front, but Eva stopped her "Not to us"
"to him" said Harper while pointing at Hunter
Hunter who was silently watching the show felt proud because of Eva's matured behavior, she never lost her temper like Harper she just did what is right.
'These girls are interesting' thought Andrew
"Aunt Stella, if you don't want to then we can negotiate with my mom" said Andrew sternly
Stella trembled and apologized to Hunter very politely
Hunter just gave a nod as acknowledgment and signaled girls to leave.
They started walking, Eva suddenly stopped turned back and said "Thank you, Mr. Ogden".
Harper pulled her and said "What are you thanking him for idiot"
Listening their interaction Andrew gave a amused look and said "Find everything about them"
After reaching home Hunter gave the girls a good scolding for messing around and punished them. Yes, punishment running twice the daily distance along the beach. The punishment tired both so they went to their respective homes and slept like logs.
Few days later
MH group main office in Andrew's cabin
His assistant handed him a file and started reporting
"Sir, taller one is Harper Dawson, second daughter James Dawson chief of Signature hospital, she is a freelancer writer and also work as copywriter for Nexa advertising company and she mostly works from home.
The other one is Eva Bradfield, second daughter of George Bradfield of Empire company, but for unknown reason she lives with her paternal grandmother Julia Bradfield, she teaches violin in Broadwind city School.
As Dawson's and Mrs. Bradfield are neighbors, the girls always together even though they pursued different careers.
"You are very fast this time" said Andrew
"They actually used their mobile numbers for registration in shops, so it was easy to reach them" said His assistant humbly
"Then about the man" asked Andrew
"Oh! Yes, He is Hunter no surname, he is the chief of the security of Bradfield's, it is said that he came along with Miss Eva and very little is known about his background because his info is sealed with top level security in government" answered his assistant
'Who is actually this man even government is protecting him' thought Andrew
"Anything to add" asked Andrew watching his assistant still standing
"Both girls actually grew up under Mrs. Bradfield and Hunter rather strictly" said his assistant hesitantly.
