Her phone kept ringing, since the waiting area was a bit noisy she took her phone and went to the restroom. She picked the call and said, "h.e.l.lo?" Ren chuckled and said, "Don"t tell me you came running to pick my call!" Ria thought about it and said, "Uh... huh!"Then they flirted and talked about kids for few minutes, Peggy came to get her when it was their time board the plane. Ria said, "I have work to do Chérie and I won"t call you when I am boarding the plane. Just sleep, I want you as energetic as you can tomorrow. Hear me? and I really miss the little ones!"
Ren smiled and asked mischievously, "Only the little ones ah?" Ria bit her lower lip and said, "I already said to you that I want you energetic, do you want me to explain for what purpose?" Ren had a grin on his face and said, "Ohhhhh! I would love that, Miss Ria".
Ria smiled shyly and said, "Well you have to wait for me, so I can tell you face to face". Ren smiled and said, "I would love that too!" Peggy mentioned once that it is getting late and this time Ren also heard it. So they bid good byes and good nights.
Then Ria went to boarding terminal and she entered the plane. Since they did a last minute booking, both of them had seats here and there. Ria walked towards her seat after getting Peggy to her"s. To her utter surprise he saw a man she recognize sitting in the seat next to him.
As soon as he saw her, he winked at her and had a wide grin on his face. Ria reacted as if she had no idea who that man is and took the seat. "Put your seat belt on, Miss Ria", his voice was heard from her right. She buckled her seat belt but she never looked at him.
The flight started to take off and the guy next to Ria kept talking to her. She heard him say, "It is kind of boring you know, when you talk alone. Am I that boring?" She thought of giving him some face as she said, "I don"t know whether you are boring or not but I"m not interested in finding out".
He let out a deep breath and said, "Atlast you said something! Why you are not interested? Am I that much not good looking?" Ria looked him in the corner of her eye.
This guy was not wearing a suit now, he is simply wearing a white Shirt and khaki pant. His brown hair was bouncy as usual and he had this big smile on his face. Even thought incomparable to Ren, he looks good.
She shook her head and said, "You can only use reverse psychology one time at me, CEO Shen". He replied with a "Hmmm" and then continued, "So? Don"t you want to know why I"m going to I country?" She want to but she said, "It is none of my business".
Aaron said looking pitiful, "Cut me some slack, Miss Ria". Ria smiled a little and said, "And why should I?" He smiled and said, "Because you like me!" Ria turned towards him and said with an amus.e.m.e.nt, "Oh really? How are you so sure of that?"
Aaron shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just know, that is all!" Ria said without holding back as Ren is really really possessive, "I am afraid that is a total misunderstanding. I"m sorry, if I have made you think that way.
There is only one man that I like or I should say, I love except my father and my son, and that is definitely not you!"
Aaron didn"t show his disappointment on his face and changed the topic, "So where are the kids?" Ria went back to her original position and leaned back on the seat as she closed her eyes. "If I say something, he will build the conversation", She thought.
Aaron"s tongue twitched and he said with a bit humiliated tone, "You are acting like, I"m some guy pestering you". Ria said directly without opening her eyes, "Aren"t you?" Aaron immediately opened his mouth to counter attack but couldn"t find any ways.
Then he stayed quiet for a while until dinner was served as Ria took a nap. He woke her up for dinner and then said while chewing his food, "I didn"t mean to.... pester you. It is just that.... you were different from.... the girls I have met. With.... lots of pa.s.sion.... lots of love for her kids.... and lots of beauty.
Any man will want.... to chase that type.... of girl".
Ria sipped some water and said, "First eat and then speak". He nodded and kept quiet for the rest of the time. After they were finished with the food, Ria spoke first, "I am happy that you have feelings for me and honoured. But see...., I"m getting married soon and my fiance is a very much jealous one.
I hope you stop this type of affection here." He was silent and didn"t say anything for a while. When Ria finally closed her eyes and starting to doze off, his deep and sad voice was heard, "So, they are with him?" Ria frowned and looked at him with frustration, he raised both his hands in surrender.
Then he said, "I just want to be friends with you, Miss Ria. Seriously, I was attracted to you and you rejected me. Okay? That part is over, this time it is only friendship.
You are such an amazing woman. Nice to meet you, I am Aaron Shen. You can call me Aaron".
He extended his hand towards Ria. She thought about it for few seconds and then shook his hand. "Only friends", she added. He nodded enthusiastically and then she said with a smile, "You can call me Ria, Aaron".
After retracting her hand, Ria continued, "Who were asking about at first?" Aaron thought for minute to a.n.a.lyse what she was talking about and said, "Your kids! It is known in the business circle that you always have your kids by your side. So I asked".
Ria nodded understandingly as she looked outside the window in the distant and her lips hooked up into a longing smile. Aaron asked cautiously, "Is everything alright?" Ria immediately met his eyes and said, "Yep! They are with their father in I country.
This was such a short trip so I left them with him. I just miss them.... a lot!" Aaron nodded and asked, "Are you marrying him?" She asked him back, "My kids father?" Aaron nodded and Ria"s longing smile turned into a shy one as she said, "Yes".
