Chapter 47: Self-obsessed and inconsiderate

Alan composed soon, "You always win in fights. You always lose when they tease you. Isn't it?"

Aria pouted but didn't reply. She couldn't understand why Alan arrives at her embarrassing moments 

Alan rubbed her head adoringly as he led her to the meeting.

Nathan had already asked to arrange a chair for Aria next to Alan, so she sat down and heard the meeting rather attentively giving attention to how Alan handled things.

The meeting attendees were executives of departments who already knew Aria as she attended quite a few conferences with Rowan. A few knew her identity and few thought her as Morgans' relative.

After finishing back to back two meetings, Alan and Aria went to the nearest restaurant where Alan's date was arranged.

This time lunch didn't even start, Alan's date left.

Alan and Aria reached the Private room and the girl in the knee-length dress was very elegant but her facial expression was off. She came direct to point as soon as she saw them.

"President Morgan! I'm sorry for wasting your time today. I'm here due to my family pressure and I love my boyfriend. I tried to get your contact to cancel the date beforehand but I didn't get. No offense but I hope you understand my situation and reject the proposal." It sounded more like pleading.

Aria who was standing next to Alan looked at him. She didn't know whether he was angry or didn't matter to him hence she spoke, "Miss! No worries. Madam Morgan will reject the offer from our side. Thank you for being blunt."

Aria saw a beautiful smile on her face feeling relaxed. She thanked them, "Thank you so much for understanding. I will take leave." She bowed her head and walked towards the exit.

Aria checked the time and spoke, "Why don't you have lunch and leave?"

Aria was little startled when the girl cupped half of her face, "You are so sweet. Thank you but I have to calm my boyfriend."

Aria hummed and saw the girl walk off faster.

She sat down with Alan and realized, she was practically having dates with Alan whereas his first date was late, the second date slipped off for her boyfriend.

Alan tapped her nose and passed the menu, "Don't you give too much of work to your brain? What are you thinking and smiling?"

Aria chuckled lightly and chose two dishes and a mocktail before confirming. "You shouldn't get offended... Your first date was damn late and your second date ran away to her boyfriend. I'm thinking what will be like your third date, will she bring her boyfriend for dinner? Or will she stand you up? and you will end up having dinner with me."

Alan knew the second date girl was madly in love with a man who was second generation heir. So he had chosen her. Third date... He smiled and commented, "I will not get offended for that also."

"You should get annoyed about that. They are wasting your time. Instead..." She bent her head and peeked at his face, "You look happy even though you aren't smiling, your eyes are glad to know about it."

Alan didn't expect it to be obvious to her. "She didn't waste our time and she was straightforward about her opinion, shouldn't we be happy about it?"

Aria nodded in agreement but paused, "You aren't someone to get happy for such things. You are a type who gets pissed off on their whole family for sending their profile to Aunty Amelia and for making you go through about it."

Alan: "..."

He was actually like that but he didn't expect her to have only a bad opinion about him.

All dishes were served and they started eating when Alan finally responded, "So do you want me to revenge on the family?"

Aria's reply was instant, "No! No! Poor girl! She must have used all her confidence to tell you so that their parent's let her off-hook. Don't do it."

Her last three words were like order which Alan didn't mind, "I will not."

Their lunch continued with light talks and Alan took her to the mall in the name of shopping.

Aria already accepted her fate to be called as somebody's girlfriend to whom she playing the role of a matchmaker.

"Just agree, you want your wardrobe change." Aria said entering the mall.

"Oh!" Was his reply before adding a line after about five minutes. "Let's shop for you."

Aria was already used to his late responses. "I hardly go out. I have lots of clothes. I don't need anymore."

Alan who had heard about typical girls love to shop all the time, spoke about it, "Doesn't every girl like to shop without reason?"

Aria teased, "Two dates and you are already improved about girls. Good progress... At this rate, you don't need me after a few dates."

He gently bopped her head leaving her at loss of words. 'Can you stop giving the impression of we are on a date to the people around us? They are adoring us.'

Aria could see many people fangirling on Alan or on them and even heard, 'They are such a picturesque couple.'

Aria declined his offer about her shopping and focused on his shopping.

At the end of three hours, Alan's hands had fifteen bags and a few small bags which were inside large ones.

She had chosen a few T-shirts, pullovers, different types of jackets, footwear, and jeans. She was again entering another shop, he helplessly called, "Aria! What's going on in your little head of yours?"

Aria chuckled holding her clutch, "I am trying to annoy you and shopped different style clothes for you. Little wardrobe makeover."

Alan's lips twitched hearing the first part.

He couldn't respond and heard a middle-aged man say, "Little girl or old wife, they always shop like this. Get used to this young man."

Aria interjected with a sweet smile, "Uncle! They aren't my stuff. They are his. He didn't even get me one and stopped me from checking that skirt." she was actually entering that shop to check the dark-colored sequin mini skirt which was on display.

Alan's lips twitched again hearing 'Uncle'. She addresses every unknown man as Mister or Sir so he understood, she was up to something. After hearing complete, he didn't know how to react.

The middle-aged man got friendly with Aria hearing her sweet voice and 'Uncle', "Your boyfriend is self-obsessed and inconsiderate. Young Man! You should concentrate on your girl too. She is soo pretty, somebody will take her away if you don't treat her well."

Aria was laughing without making sound standing behind the middle-aged man. Aria who knew Alan doesn't talk to strangers took the use of it and made him hear from the unknown.

Alan's face turned grim. Aria spoke, "Uncle! I will teach him. Thank you."

Aria went inside after seeing that man give dirty look to Alan who entered the shop behind her. But he took revenge for that later.

Aria took her size mini skirt and a black full sleeve top before going for trial.
