By force (2)

Ari's eyes were wide with shock. A second ago, she was sitting on the chair, but then another second later her worldview changed. She was now hanging limply on Noah's shoulder while facing his back.

"What the f*ck? What do you think you are doing?" Ari screeched. She couldn't believe what was happening for a second. Did the CEO and the owner of the Nelson Corporation just pick her up from the chair and slung her over his shoulder?

As she looked around her surroundings, Ari realized that she was indeed being carried on the shoulder by Noah. The second her reality settled in, Ari started to struggle. Her fists hammered on Noah's back as she shouted, "Let me down! Let me down, you bastard!"

Noah however, did not settle her down. Instead, he walked out of the restaurant briskly, it was as if Ariana did not weigh more than a pebble in his hands. Her weight did not hinder his pace and he strode out confidently.
