Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Here, sorry I take longer time to prepare the meal. Riley apologize as he look at the time, the lunch break will soon be over

It's nothing, let me taste the delicious meal. She commented then grab her spoon, the first spoon was mind-blowing, she wasn't expecting him to cook so well, he look at her, she didn't say a word about the meal, he try to read her facial expressions, so he could tell she was enjoying it but it was blank.

How did it taste? She look at him then go back to the meal. Sorry, I didn't know it will not come out well, let's just eat outside...

She burst in laughter, he look at her. Stop staring, you should eat too, it really taste delicious even better than mine, if I were your wife, I will always asked you to cook...

Then be my wife. Aria choke on her food, he rushed to her. Sorry, I am sorry. She gulp on the water he stretch to her, he cursed inwardly. Father is right, I am terrible when it comes to romance.

Aria watch his facial expressions then comments

Are you scolding yourself? He look at her. You don't have to, it's a free world.

So you are not mad at me? If I asked you to marry me, you will not get mad? She titter.

That is not how to asked a girl out, man, you are terrible with romance.

Sorry, let's just eat. Aria wanted to asked him the reason he is apologizing when he did nothing wrong, she too love him but she is not as bold as Kathleen that will tell a man what she feels about him, so when Riley change the topic, she just move with the flow.

The two talk about work, business, the documents in front of him after the meal, the conversation become more friendly.

They move from just business to personal stuff, the two feel they were in their own world, they chitchat and laughs loudly.

The steward were surprised, they had never see their master this happy around anyone. They were like couples who are on an official date.

Aria will smiled sweetly at Riley, he too will do same, he was looking at Aria with affectionate eyes. The two are really in love with each other.

Oh! I have wasted much of your time. Riley comments.

I really don't mind, wasting more with you. Riley laugh inward, Aria fall her face, she is shy now.

I too will love to, if you allow me to spend more time with you, watching a beautiful sight while having a conversation will not be all bad. Aria blushed badly, this time, Riley notice it. She part her lips to say something, not a word came out, she seems to run out of words especially with the fact that Riley is gazing intensely on her parted lips.

Aria is never the shy type, she is always vocal when talking about business, why does it feel that having a conversation with the one she is developing feelings for is now an issue.

This was the first time, she is experiencing something like this, with the opposite sex, she is a late bloomer, all she do is work, entertaining suitors were never her thing.

Yet she want to give this a trial,she want to experience what it feels like to be in love and be with the man that loves her. She is not going to argue the fact that she loves him and he too loves her, it was the first time for the both of them

Riley is more straightforward than her, though he might lack the right words to used, he just made his intentions know to her, he asked her to be his wife, that is what he wants, that is how he felt about her. He love her and making her his wife and the mother of his kids is all he wanted.

Aria muster up her courage then break the silent, she felt she might not be likable for anyone not because she is not beautiful, she felt she lack everything that will make her a romantic wife.

Riley... Can I asked you something?

Riley gaze moved to her eyes, causing her heart to increase, she really doesn't know how to go about it, yet she want to clear the air.

Go on, you can asked me anything? Riley pick her hand, subconsciously wrap his hand against hers. Aria look at his hand against hers then his face, he smiled at her. Go on and please don't asked me, why I want to be with you?

Aria look at him, this man is crazy, is he reading her mind as well, that is the question, she wants to asked.

Oh God! What am going to say now, he had read my thoughts already.

It's not bad if I wondered, the reason you want to be with me because you could had just pick my dad, to attend to all your company's legal case, I barely have his knowledge and if it's physical attraction, I really don't see myself among those women that are worthy of you.

Aria lower her eyes after saying those words and Riley eyes didn't leave her, she didn't want him to see her as the insecure woman, she is portraying herself now, she is intelligent, beautiful with very high IQ but with a very low EQ, her fun life is zero, she felt she is only going to bore him.

Riley sighed inwardly then I kissed her hand, causing her to raise her head.

I love you, I don't like same thing with others, I actually love my woman aloof, she should stand out.

At Jayden hotel, I wanted to have a conversation with you, I really want to but the timing is awkward, seeing the way you speak to your kid sister got me curious.

I was bullying her.

No way, you will make a good mother,I won't be worried that my kids might ended up a brat if I am not available, I will be rest assured that they are in good hands, I got curious to know about you, I try to find out from Jayden but he doesn't know anything about you, one faithful day, I was asking about you from Kathleen, Dante was there, he tease me nonstop then he said, since I am more interested in studying about you instead of business, I should have background check on you.

What?

Aria yelled, his honesty is insane, although on a norm, she would had been mad at him for digging into her personal life, she still want to listen to his honest heart.

Forgive me, I was only curious and my Fluttering heart won't let me be, so I decided to contract your firm and asked that you be my adviser. Riley blushed at her cunning and stupid he had become, just to be with the woman he love.

Today, I told myself, I will asked you out, I wouldn't mind whatever decision you make, I only want to try my luck, just as Jayden said, love, relationship; marriage all are luck, you might be lucky to get love back by the woman that you love.

Aria stared at him without expression, as her mind wonder away, she can't believe that the man in front of her could be this straightforward, not that he uses those flowery words yet they sound good in her ear, she too love the man, while wait for another time to replied, she really wants all this to end, she wanted to give answer to the man that is staring at her, waiting for reply.

At that moment, Riley had a crazy thought, he stared at her lips, they are lovely and inviting.

He gulped his saliva, he only wants to closed his lips with hers, he want to taste her lips, Riley cupped her face in his hand, then lean closer to keep the gap between him and her.

Her face was inching closer and closer to her, she remain frozen on her seat, waiting for his lips to meet hers, it's just a tiny gap for their lips to touch when her phone ping.

Ping! Ping! Ping!

That ring startled the two Interrupting them of what they were about to do.

I got to go.

Wait! He shouted as Aria rush out, he hit the couch in frustration, he had to wait for another good timing, since this happened to be one of his bad timing.
