Unexpected Something

An accident !

"I'll drop you" Devian said with a slight hesitation.

"Ya....."

"No need. We can walk." Arien stopped Ashley from speaking further by directly rejecting him and pulled away Ashley along with her.

Devian helplessly shook his head. "Silly girl."

"Slow down, he's not following." Ashley was out of breath because she has been walking.. No!

She has been running for so long. She was so tired that she can't even walk now.

"It was a bad idea to go shopping with you this weekend. How I forgot that you were also good in athletics! How I thought I would enjoy and you have already made me so tired. My back is already so sore. I can't even move now."

"Okay okay it was my fault I know please forgive me." Arien made a puppy face that looked so pitiful. How could her best friend still scold her!

They decided to rest for a while and then go for shopping so they sat on a bench nearby. Ashley was still panting.

"Let me bring you a bottle of water. What say?" Arien was still sorry for Ashley's miserable situation.

"Aww you care for me the most." Ashley spoke as if she would cry anytime.

"Stop acting now, okay." Arien crossed the road and went to the shop to buy a bottle of mineral water.

She waited for the green signal. Then started crossing the road. Just as she was in the middle a car sped towards her like lightning. Arien didn't know what was she was going to do. She just stood there unable to move. 

Just as the car was about to hit her a strong forced pulled her to the side of the road and she was pulled in someone's embrace.

Ashley ran towards them.

"Thank you De.... . Harry?"Arien was disappointed because he wasn't Devian, rather he was Harry.

Heavens! Why did she expected him to be Devian, and not anyone else.

She pushed Harry away and took a step back. Now his hands were empty and so was his heart. Harry was angered but soon he regained his composure.

"I just managed to pass from this lane and saw you. And why didn't you run when you saw the car coming towards you?" Harry asked in concern.

"I...I was..." Arien was dumbstruck because of the incident just now.

This scene was also somehow witnessed by Devian, he would have rushed there but the distance between them was very large. He felt helpless.

"You alright?" Arien heard a concerned voice from behind. She turned around and saw Devian approaching her with fast yet steady steps.

"Yes" Arien's voice seemed dissatisfied.

"Mr Lyle, director Chester why don't you both accompany us out if you're free this weekend? Ashley continued after confirming that Arien was fine. "You both big shots would have fun for sure."

Ashley only wanted to know Devian's attitude to confirm what Arien has told her. According to Ashley, the details that Arien gave about him didn't match Devian's personality.It seems that she has misunderstood Devian.

Harry happily agreed to accompany them because he wanted to spend time with Arien. But he was still not completely happy because of the two invaders between them and especially the Lyle guy.

On the other hand, the cold and aloof director Lyle was still hesitating.

"Mr Lyle don't you want to go?" He heard Arien's soft voice.
