"Miss Davis?"

His voice resounded in her ears yet again and jolted her back to reality. Her eyes traveled from his fingers wrapped around her wrist before settling back on his face in disbelief.

Aria was a nervous wreck as they stood staring at each other.

"How_how did you?" She began to stammer but he caught her off guard with a question of his own as he pulled her another step closer.

"I should be asking you the same question miss Davis but.." He paused and looked at her more intently and even sniffed the air around her.

"Are you drunk?" He asked her with a frown before releasing his grip on her.

"Drunk?" She repeated after him with a giggle and staggered backward_away from his intimidating presence. But still close enough to smell his cologne.

She could recognize it anywhere_anytime!

But now was not the time to focus on what the man standing in front of her smells like but how not to get judged by him after getting kissed out of the blue like a drunk lady.

Drunk lady?

Okay!

Aria wasn't drunk but had to act that way. I mean_ how else could she explain her reason for kissing a total stranger who also turned out to be none other than her very own boss.

Ex boss rather!

Speak of terrible coincidence.

This must be Karma setting her up for disaster. The sooner she got out of there?_ the better.

"Why are you speaking that way miss Davis?_am I correct to think that you are actually drunk?"

"Uhm yes! No_i mean, am really sorry about the uhm little lip contact thing that happened..That was just me being really drunk and foolish. So please excuse me boss_I will be heading back to my seat down" she apologize with short chuckles and turned to leave but he held her back.

"Wait!_not so fast Miss Davis or should I say Aria?"

Aria had to bite her tongue hard to keep from answering. It was already bad enough that he even recognized her.

"Aria is fine!"

"So Aria_are you going to stick around and finish what you started or you are just going to run away and pretend like it never did?"

"I'm sorry mister but is there a problem?"

Lizzy had interrupted before she could even find her words to say anything.

Frank only rose a brow at Lizzy's direction but said nothing to reply her while Aria on the other hand gave a careless shrug instead.

Lizzy could feel the growing tension between them even though none of them was saying anything so to put everyone at ease. She turned and faced Frank with enclosed palms.
