CHAPTER 15

"I'm sorry professor but I don't understand a thing you're saying" Alina uttered and Nolan walked closer to her.

"I told your dad I will look out for you at the hospital so allow me fulfill my words. Let's go have breakfast, I'm famished" Nolan said cutely as he held his stomach.

"I don't eat in public places prof. I'm sorry, I can't go out and eat with you" Alina pointed out.

"Here you go again with your materialistic thinking. And who said we're going to a public place to have breakfast" Nolan said and Alina blinked awkwardly.

"Professor, you keep saying I'm materialistic. I'm not, I'm down to earth and a lady like me don't have any right to be materialistic" Alina said trying to hide her sadness.

"What's wrong with a lady like yourself? You look perfect to me and we're the ones who should be intimidated around girls like you. Let's go have breakfast" Nolan said and left the office.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment or what?" Alina questioned a bit confused.

Nolan came back into the office and held Alina's hand.

"They might close up if I leave you to tag along yourself so stick around" Nolan said and Alina looked at his hand crossed with hers as he held her gently.

A smile appeared on her lips without her knowledge.

"You indirectly told my dad that we're friends so are we?" Alina asked slowly and Nolan glanced at her.

"I will reply to that question after we've had breakfast" Nolan said with a half smile.

AG ENTERTAINMENT...

Aria got to the company to meet with her CEO.

"Aria, good morning" The employees greeted as she came in.

"Good morning" Alina greeted with a bow.

She head straight into CEO Kim's office.

"You may leave now" CEO Kim said to some managers she was having a meeting with.

"Are you okay? You've probably gotten the news" Aria said as she sat down on a office chair.

CEO Kim walked out of her seat.

"Aria did you have anything to do with the scandal?"

"And if I said, I am" Aria said coldly.

"Why? Why did you do that? Why would you allow such a thing to happen? Why?" CEO Kim yelled and Alina crossed her legs.

"I only did the right thing. You should be thanking me for what I did for you. You shouldn't be left in the dark" Aria said in a relaxed tone.

"I heard you called Natasha over. Is that the reason why you called her over so you can do this" She asked.

"Are you trying to run this company down? I get it that you hold a grudge against each other but it wasn't necessary for you to go that far. Aria, you know exactly how hard it is to boost up your career and you did that to her? Natasha also works here, she's an artist of AG entertainment" Kim yelled and Aria frowned.

"For months, Natasha have been spreading rumours about me and no one said anything about that. Before I even planned on returning, she tried so hard to ruin things for me back here in Seoul. I gave her so many chances to stay out of my business. You know how much I hate it when people get too nosy in my business" Aria said seriously.

"I apologized to you about that and that's why I tried to make up for all she did to you by giving you more opportunities to perform on stage and go to many variety shows" Kim said frustratedly.

"She gave me a mental disturbance and I'm sorry, she never apologized to me herself. Why should you be the one apologizing for her? She's nothing more than just an artist here so why give her opportunities to look down on others. Natasha doesn't bring money to the company more than me. I'm the big shot of AG and that's why you should always look out for me. What's Natasha to you that you keep letting her get her way with things" Aria half yelled.

"Aria!" Kim screamed and all the employees looked at the office.

"What's going on? Why's the CEO and Aria raising their voice? Is it because of yesterday's scandal about Aria but the article have been taken down and it has been cleared out" Some of the employees whispered to themselves.

"Yes CEO" Aria answered as she stood up from her seat.

"I need you to speak with the reporter so they can take down the scandal about Natasha" Kim ordered and Aria picked up her purse from the table.

"CEO, you know me too well and you know exactly what I can do or not. You should use this opportunity to correct what have been going wrong for a while. You deserve someone better big sis. You've always told me you see me as a sister and for that sisterhood bond, I tried to set things right for you. I will take my leave now. I know you will try to clear up the scandal but you and I know what the truth is so don't let her get her way with this one. I will take my leave now" Aria said and walked to the door.

"And thank you for taking down the article faster than I expected" Aria said with a smile.

"It wasn't me. Before I could convince the reporter to take it down, someone else did it already. I heard it was FOX Matthew. He took care of it. You should drop by his company to say thank you" Kim said and Aria left the office.

FLASHBACK****

On when Natasha visited Aria.

"What are you doing here? The last time I can remember, you sent me a threat box but now you came yourself" Aria said with a cold look.

"Oh cut the crap Aria. What are you talking about? Why did you call me over? I'm way too busy so make it snappy" Natasha said seriously.

"Do you like Matthew that much?" Aria asked calmly.

"What!" Natasha gasped nervously.

"I see, you're a fan girl but don't forget you're an artist and you should always look out for your behaviour in public. How dare you try to defame me? Not in your wildest dreams Natasha. I'm not letting that action of yours go easily. I will have to give you a reward, you deserve one. You can go now, you must be so busy" Aria said with a smile.

"You can do whatever you want Aria. Your threats aren't getting to me. Let's see how you get yourself out of this" Natasha scorned and left the apartment.

She was about getting into the elevator when she got a beep on her phone.

~ Natasha the soloist from AG entertainment is having an affair with her boss's husband ~

Natasha lost her balance on seeing the provocative pictures that was published.

Aria wore a vicious smile on seeing the article.

"Let's see how you get out of this unscratched. An eye for an eye" Aria smirked.

FLASHBACK ENDS***

Aria walked to her car and a text message popped on her phone.

~ "Thank you Aria" CEO Kim texted and Aria smiled.

Aria dropped Matthew a text.

~ (let's meet up. I've got to beat you to pulp. So put on an armour if you need to) ~

Aria laughed out loud before getting into her car.

***********

Nolan drove Alina to a very cozy restaurant far away from the hospital. They placed their order.

"You can take off your mask now. No one knows you here" Nolan said softly and Alina looked around.

"I have a problem with taking my mask off so I will have it on till the food arrives" Alina said slowly.

The waitress brought their order and Nolan smiled.

"Thank you" They both chorused as the waitress placed the food then left.

Alina admired the food with her eyes.

"You can take it off now" Nolan said with his eyes on the food as well.

Alina slowly took the mask off. She tried covering her face with her hair and Nolan changed his seat. He sat down next to her.

"Professor, why did you leave your seat?" Alina asked curiously.

"I want to keep you company. Is anything wrong with that and the reflection of the light, was getting into my eyes. I can't eat in a position facing the sun directly. Let's dig in" Nolan said and picked up his chopsticks.

Nolan covered Alina since she was sitting at next to the wall so he blocked her from looking at people around.

Alina smiled before digging in.

They both eat in absolute quiet.

"It's so delicious" They both chorused after the long silence.

They boost into laughter afterwards.

"It's delicious. I guess the food got our attention completely. We forgot to compliment it on the first bite" Alina said with a smile and Nolan nodded..

"Exactly. I'm a regular customer here but every time I eat here it feels like it's my first time" Nolan said with a cute smile on his face.

His eyes were fixed on his food so he didn't notice Alina steal glances of him.

"We shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. That saying is beginning to make some sense to me" Alina said then continued eating.

Hi peacemaker +2348037873157 to be added you to d stories group

"That's out of the blue. You got me lost for a second, what did I miss?" Nolan asked as he looked at her.

Alina took some wipes from the table and she leaned closer to Nolan.

His heartbeat raced as Alina's gaze were fixed on his lips.

Alina wiped off the soup stain on Nolan's lips.

"You got something on your lips" Alina said then continued eating.

"Thank you" Nolan uttered slowly as he exhaled deeply.

"Professor, can you take me out for breakfast again? You seem to know so many cool places to have breakfast" Alina said.

"Of course, that's if you don't get my nerves" Nolan said jovially and Alina pouted.

"I never did that professor. I don't get on people's nerves but you've got a speciality in that. You get on my nerves way quicker than my blood shoot up to my brain" Alina said and Nolan laughed loudly.

"I'm sorry for that. I just found you annoying before but not anymore" Nolan said in a wide smile.

"Come to think of it, this is more like a date, professor" Alina said and continued eating.

"I wish it was" Nolan mumbled subconsciously and Alina looked at him trying to grasp on what he said.

"I didn't get you"

"It's nothing. I'm wondering when I will go visit your father again. He's fun to be with. You're lucky to have a dad like him Alina" Nolan said with a smile but sadness written in his face.

"You don't have a dad?" Alina asked slowly so she doesn't provoke him with her question.

"He's late but don't ruin the mood by talking about the dead. Let's talk about the living and that's fair enough" Nolan said with a smile.

I can see your sadness through your smile. You must have been hurt a lot by that. Alina said in her head concerned.

A text message popped on her phone and the phone was in front of Nolan. They both looked at the phone.

It's a message from Falcon.

~ "Alina will you be free tomorrow?"~

Nolan looked at Alina and she picked up the phone to reply.

Nolan looked away with a frown on his face. He picked up the cutting knife and stabbed the steak on the plate angrily.

He's unnecessarily getting on my nerves. Nolan said in his head angrily.
