"Ren?"Both the gentlemen looked at the beauty in black standing at the entrance of the private cabin. Ren"s mind became blank for a second while Aaron was swept off his feet. Ria was standing at the entrance with her hands crossed while wearing a ink black v neck sleeveless gown hugging her curves.
She was wearing her hair in a twisted bun and her fringes hung near her ears in curls. Her eyes had a light smoky effect make up while her lips had this lush red colour. Her face had an angry expression while her eyes only saw Ren.
Her lips moved, "Is this the dinner date you said? I have been waiting for 20 minutes past our meeting time and I came half an hour earlier. If your meeting was running late, shouldn"t you inform to me?"
Ren"s lips curled up as he heard her angry words, he simply extended his right hand towards her. Ria squinted her eyes at him but she lifted her gown in a landslide manner, her pointed heals was visible now as she walked towards him slowly and steadily. She took Ren"s hand and stood opposite to him.
Ren looked at her without uttering a word while Ria looked at his handsome face as her anger dissipated slowly. Aaron who is on the other side of the table, standing quiet and feeling sick watched them as his emotions were in a muddle.
As the staring contest went on between those two, Aaron cleared his throat and coughed a little to get their attention. He wanted to leave this place as soon as he can. Not only did he courted his wife he also had the guts to mention her name in front of Ren.
Ren was brought back to reality thanks to Aaron"s coughing. He pulled his eyes off Ria reluctantly and looked at Aaron. Only now Ria noticed the other person was Aaron. She gave him a simple smile as soon as their eyes met.
Ren introduced Ria, "Aaron, this lady here is my wife, Rianna Raj. She is the CEO of DIVA Fashions in Milan and also a partner of our company" and he continued looking at Ria. "Anna, this is Aaron..." But Ria interrupted him, saying, "Aaron Shen, the CEO of Shen Corporations".
Ren raised his eyebrows at her in an amused manner while Ria gave Aaron a slight bow and extended her hand for handshake. Aaron extended his hand as well but he could feel the coldness in Ren"s glare. He really wanted to dig a hole and jump into it.
Ren asked Aaron like he really had no idea, "So you guys know each other?" Aaron jerked a little under the pressure given by Ren and met his eyes. But Ria who has no idea felt her heart stop for a second as she could feel the tension in the room. "What happened here? Anyway, tell the truth that is the only safe way when it comes to him!", Ria thought.
She chuckled a little, one of those businesses type and she said, "Yeah, He is also from Milan. How could I not know? And we made a partnership last month. Aaron is one of my friends too". Ren nodded understandingly and said while thinking deeply, "Hmmmmm... Aaron ah?"
Ria coughed immediately as a response and she smiled forcefully looking at the gentlemen. Aaron said, "Then, enjoy your dinner Mr. and Mrs. Ren. I will take my leave now". Ria gave him a hundred dollar smile, "Good move, Aaron", She thought.
Just as Aaron was about to take a step away from them, Ren asked, "Is Anna the friend you mentioned, Aaron?" Aaron nodded nervously looking at Ren and he tried to leave from here again. Ren"s deep and slow voice was heard, "Are you free tomorrow Anna? Aaron wanted to ask you whether you could take him for siteseeing!"
Ria looked at Aaron and said without thinking, "Ofcourse not, I just returned and have lots of work. If you don"t mind I can ask one of my sisters to be your guide, Aaron". He shook his head and said, "No, It"s fine, Mrs.Ren. I will ask secretary Josh for help".
But Ria smiled and said, "But I insist. You are our partner and not to mention our friend. We should make sure your stay was comfortable here. So let us". Aaron"s face softened when he saw her convince him, he simply nodded at her.
The temperature in the room went down immediately, Ria immediately holded Ren"s elbow and hugged it closer. Then she said, "Bye Aaron, Take care". Aaron made slight bow and exited the room. The room was in complete silence after that. Ren walked towards his seat without saying anything and he sat.
Ria followed him and went to sit in the opposite which is supposedly where Aaron sat before. But his was heard before she could settle, "Where do you think you are going?" Ria looked at him confusedly and said, "Uh?" Ren didn"t say anything and looked at her with anger.
"What did that guy say before?..... I have to cool this volcano down before any life damages!", Ria thought. She walked towards him and sat directly on his lap. She wrapped her hands around his neck and rested her head on his collar bone.
Then she complained in a very childlike yet intriguing voice while breathing into his neck, "This is our first date after a long, long time. But look at you! You look a Demon king, you don"t love me at all! I"m so sad, now".
