The night was pleasant for some and pitch black and sorrowful for some.
One of them, for whom the night wasn't good was the Chester family.
"How dare that man convince president Ace?" Harry shouted.
"Young master, Director Lyle had cleared his background. Even if we try for the whole year I don't think we would be able to know anything about him." Ben stood sweating.
"This was supposed to happen." They heard old master Chester interrupt.
"Dad." Harry turned around only to looks at old Mr Chester's cold and expressionless face.
"Don't call me dad! You're good for nothing!" He snorted coldly.
"Dad...." Harry opened his mouth but then didn't know what to say further.
"Listen. I'm warning you if you dare ruin my business for that girl." Old Mr Chester was very angry.
"But... but she could be helpful to get back the sum we've lost" Harry still didn't wanted to let go Arien.
"You...." Old Mr Chester paused and an evil smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"That's true." He said.
"Dad?" Harry was confused. What was he thinking about?
"Convince that girl to talk to Devian. Ask her to convince him to make us have a meeting with President Ace." His smile widened.
"But why would she..." Harry knew Arien's temperament. She would never agree to see him again not to mention having a chat.
But before he could finish, old Mr Chester interrupted with a cold voice, "If she doesn't agree to that, force her."
"But dad, I won't be able to..." Harry was well aware of her taekwondo skills and didn't wanted to get beaten up.
"You coward! Do as I say or don't show me your face!" Old Mr Chester sneered and walked into his room shouting, "scram!"
Harry thought deeply for a while then asked Ben to investigate on Devian carefully.
...
Just as they both smiled Devian spoke up, "Your leg will hurt. You stay here I'll go and heat the food"
He walked into the kitchen. Arien quietly followed him with her wobbling steps.
Only when he suddenly stopped and Arien bumped into his back, did Devian realized that she was following him like a kitten.
"I said I'll do it." Devian said coldly.
"What will you do?" Arien was not bothered his cold tone.
"Heat the food" he said. "I asked you to wait outside" he added opening the refrigerator.
"So these are the food sister ordered!" Devian saw all oily food inside. "Why can't she eat something edible?" He was angry.
"So there's nothing huh?" Arien tried to peek but lost her balance and leaned on Devian. He supported her and looked at her with a piercing gaze.
"I asked you to stay out and wait." Devian's voice was cold.
"How rude!" Arien murmured.
"It's for your own good" Devian smiled and reached out to rub her head but his hand was slapped by her.
"I'll cook something" Arien reached to take the apron struggling.
"You don't need to. I'll prepare something if you're so hungry."
"Mr Lyle, have you ever entered the kitchen even to take water?" Arien chuckled.
That was true. Devian hadn't don't anything like that but for Arien he had washed dishes and now he would cook as well.
Seeing him quiet Arien knew that he didn't know how to cook but he still thought for her. She felt blessed to have him.
"How about I'll sit here and tell you what to do?"
"Okay" Devian agreed and went to bring a chair.
He placed the chair so that Arien could look clearly how the cooking was progressing and also Devian could look at her as he lift his head up.
"Now don't move and instruct" Devian ordered.
"How bossy!" She commented.
She started instructing, "First... Wash the rice in the pot then wash the vegetables and cut them. After you've finished stir frying the veggies, the rice will be ready."
Devian followed as she said and didn't speak anything but took glance at her.
After she told him the procedure, she sat there looking at him cupping her face with her palm.
He was so good looking even while cooking. His movements looked as if he was a skilled chef.
After a while Arien opened her mouth "Devian"
Looking at her serious look Devian knew what she wanted to say. He didn't wanted her to be sad.
"Arien I know." He interrupted her.
"I know you believe me regarding those pictures but..." Arien pursed her lips "... Don't you care about who I am. I mean my past and background before you consider this marriage?" She asked cautiously.
"I know about you, moreover what's gone is gone." He said unhurriedly.
"You know about me?" Arien was shocked. "Know what?"
"Hmm" Devian nodded in agreement "I know about everything. The Jenner family and business, about the agreements...." He paused "I know everything that I've seen all this whole month." He said.
"It's ready. Now taste and see if you like it?" He changed the topic.
"Ohh okay" Devian bought a spoon near her mouth and she took a sip of the vegetable stew.
They sat and had their food.
"Is it really your first time Mr Lyle?" Arien made a gesture showing how much she liked it. "It's really good."
"As long as My Mrs Lyle likes it." Devian walked back and prepared to wash the dishes
"Then is Mr Lyle willing to hug his Mrs Lyle?" Arien opened her arms.
Devian wanted to hug her but he was holding the dishes and his hands were all covered with soap.
"Okay, you stay there" Arien walked with her tottering steps towards him and hugged him from behind.
"Don't... Your leg will hurt." Devian was worried.
"You don't think so much. Just pay attention on washing dishes." Arien hugged him tightly from back.
But how could he pay attention in anything else when he could feel her petite body so close to him.
She had hugged him so tight that he could feel her heart beat.
After completing Devian carried her to the room and hugged her to sleep.
