Dean was smiling widely as he picked-up Rita from where she was held captive while the latter"s face was crumpled out of irritation as soon as she saw Dean"s face."You know what? You look really incredible with angry face," Dean said teasingly as he opened the car door for her.
However, Rita arched an eyebrow at him with her poker face as she walked on the other side of the car to open its door on her own instead.
Dean scratched his head and sighed before he entered the car to sit beside her.
"Do you want us to stop by at your apartment first to get your things? Or we can head back to my place directly and just ask my a.s.sistance to buy you everything new that you need. Hmmm actually you can use mine too, I don"t mind seeing you in my shorts and s.h.i.+rt anytime." He said grinning as he winked.
"Tsk… geez you talk too much!" Rita murmured as she looked at the driver and said, "Go to my apartment please…"
Dean"s driver looked at him in the rearview mirror, waiting for his signal. Dean sighed then nodded to his driver.
"I just don"t get it... Why is it that you can talk politely and nicely to my driver but with me you"re always irritated?" Dean said pouting.
He understood she was angry because she was forced to sign the contract but still he was nice to her so can she at least be more civilized in treating him?
Rita did not bother to answer Dean and just let out a sigh…
She still couldn"t believe all that was going on with her right now. She felt like it was all a nightmare and she really wanted to wake up soon. Her situation right now was totally absurd.
Dean accompanied Rita inside her apartment. Rita didn"t complain and just quietly packed her things.
If she was an ordinary woman without a past she would probably be happy to be part of one of the wealthiest and powerful family.
Except she was just a rag that was picked-up from the street and was groomed to do cunning works for Old Man Skull"s illegal businesses.
Their company grew and became powerful because of the hideous and awful strategies and tactics they"ve pulled including various manipulations in the underworld business.
She went out of her room and was startled with Dean who she almost b.u.mped into.
"What?" Rita hissed.
"Give me those, I"ll carry that." Dean said as he held the handle of her baggage.
However, Rita pulled it back abruptly with force and since Dean did not let go of his grip on the handle he too was pulled together and he was now an inch away from Rita.
Their face was so close when he spoke, "Hmm you"re using force again to lure me…"
Then he kissed Rita on her lips.
It was a peck only and before Rita could react he quickly distanced himself from her and said, "Okay I"ll go and wait in the car. I won"t insist to carry your luggage since you want to pull it yourself."
He blinked an eye to her before turning around and walked as fast and far away from Rita as he could before the latter could kick his a.s.s.
Rita was a black belter and was well trained in combat. Dean had trained too but he knew his capacity, it definitely couldn"t be compared to her based on the reports he read so he better ran for his life now.
Rita who was caught off guard was startled and felt a gush of blood run towards her face… she stared at Dean"s back with her mouth open. Unknowingly, she touched her lips with her fingers.
"What was that?" she asked herself pertaining to the irregular rhythm of her heartbeat right now.
"Stop it Rita… What is wrong with you?" She scolded herself in the end with and frowned as she walked towards the door.
=====
At Tan"s residence, the couple bid their farewell since they needed to travel back to the city for their honeymoon in the cruise at high seas.
In the bus, Arya felt excited as she surfed the internet on what she could expect at the luxurious s.h.i.+p since it would be her first time on board a big s.h.i.+p.
"Wow love! It looks pretty amazing! Mediterranean cruise… wait 7 to 14 days? You took off from the company for that long?" Arya blurted out and stared at Ryu who was preparing their coffee.
Ryu laughed and said, "Yeah, I"m the Boss so who cares if I even take a one year off. Besides, I have my people whom I can trust completely to manage the work while I"m away, right now being with my love is more important than dealing with those headaches…"
Arya blushed as Ryu handed her the coffee.
Ryu sat beside her as he placed his arm on Arya"s shoulders to hug her.
"After our honeymoon, you will meet my family. Grandpa is a bit strict for new comers in the family so you better be prepared for a little tough time. You know Arya, he may look cold in his appearance but his heart is very soft for the family, from inside he is not cold but very caring for the whole family. All the things he does are for the good and benefit of his family so he"s a nice old man in reality." Ryu explained.
Arya rested her head on Ryu"s shoulder and said in a jest, "Hmm, Grandpa Ken seems interesting… I think I will be able to manage well and eventually win the hearts of all family members. I will do my best so that your family will like me."
"Yeah I"m sure you and grandpa will like each other since his weakness is my grandma"s garden. Wee, since you love plants, you surely will pa.s.s his initiation!" Ryu said smiling then he turned around and looked at Arya.
"Oh I forgot to tell you something, it"s about Dean and Rita. They are married now and as per the custom they are also going to stay at the mansion for a two month time, so you will see Rita at the Mansion once we returned. They are probably on their way now to meet the family."
"What? Really" Arya asked with a confused face.
Then she creased her forehead and asked Ryu the whole story. However, Ryu just laughed then promised to tell her about it later. She was curious what happened for them to be married that fast.
Although Arya already sensed that Dean fancied Rita but still it seemed a little bit awkward for her.
Ryu held her hand and kissed on the back of her palm, then he whispered, "Are you still bleeding?"
Arya: ...…?
