Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever
Chapter 174 - Subject Called LoveAria looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a goner with her face puffed up and hair like that of a scarecrow without a hat. Noah had seen her in this state and this made her even more flustered. 'Why am I even alive? I want to die. Dear earth, please swallow me alive. I don't want to live anymore.' She covered her face.
Meanwhile, Noah was in the kitchen trying to help Ivy prepare breakfast. "Ivy, let me help you."
"No chance. Go and take a seat." Ivy ordered, though it came out as a request.
Having no other choice, he went and sat beside Ronnie. "What is my schedule for the day?"
"Boss, we have two meetings and an onsite visit to do. Also, we need to visit our branch office." Ronnie replied robotically. He had memorized his Boss's schedule for a day.
The Carter Enterprise had two branches in the city, one was the main branch and the other was a subsidiary. The main branch managed important projects and high-end clients while the other branch took up small projects where the clients were not that wealthy or powerful.
"Hmm. We also need to give a visit to Ian's company." He said under his breath such that only Ronnie could hear. Ronnie nodded. He knew his Boss had some matters to discuss with Mr. West and it could not be delayed any further now that he was fine and healthy.
"Boss, what's with Miss West and Master Martin?"
"Why? What happened to them?"
"Miss West was enquiring whether Master Martin had a girlfriend or not."
"Ah. They have already proceeded to this level already. Interesting." Noah muttered to himself making Ronnie look at him in confusion. Noah gave him a knowing look and smirked.
In no time, the breakfast was ready and Noah and Ronnie were at the dining table. Aria was still in her room hiding from Noah, unable to show her face to him. After a long time, she made up her mind and peeked out of the room to see if Noah was anywhere nearby. Seeing that the coast was clear, she stepped out boldly. Though she was happy that she did not have to face him right away, she was also sad that he had left without informing her.
"Ivy, is the breakfast ready? I am hung....." The words stuck in her mouth when she saw the great devil and his guard sitting casually at the dining table. They had not started to eat yet.
"Good morning, lazy bums. Come and have breakfast." Ivy teased as she placed the dishes on the table. They were about to start having breakfast when Aria came out. Ivy had a huge grin on her face while Noah was smiling at Aria devilishly. Meanwhile, Ronnie maintained a poker face.
Aria went and sat in between Ivy and Noah. She was exceptionally silent not wanting to embarrass herself any further. However, her moment of peace was short-lived when Ivy started to tease the duo again.
"Sister and brother-in-law, how was your night?" She raised her eyebrows playfully and gave them a knowing look.
Aria choked on her food listening to her words. She had understood her dirty mind at once. Noah handed her a glass of water as he controlled his laughter. After she calmed down, she gave Ivy an intense death glare which made her surrender.
"Don't look at me that way. I was not the one who spent the night with my boyfriend."
This time Ronnie choked on his food. He was eating the delicious food with utmost interest when Ivy spoke such lewd words. It was the first time he had tasted something so delicious. He had never eaten Noah's food. So, he had no idea how delicious it was. If he had, then he would definitely have been mindblown with its top-class taste.
"Ivy, stop with your teasing. People are choking on your words here." Noah said amused to see his woman and his guard cough awkwardly. Ivy burst out laughing.
The breakfast proceeded peacefully and it was time for Noah and Ronnie to leave. Ronnie left first. He knew that his Boss would need some time before he came down. Aria went to drop Noah till the lift on Ivy's insistence.
"So, you will be going tomorrow?" Noah started.
"Yes."
"Are you going to work today?"
"No. I have my day off. But I have to go to the hospital for a few hours for a briefing in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll come to pick you up after your work ends. Wait for me. I don't know when I'll be able to see you again. I want to spend as much as possible with you before you leave."
Noah's words brought an unfamiliar warmth in her heart. She smiled at him at sweetly and waited until he got into the lift. "Take care, Noah."
Ivy was waiting for her when she went back home. She was grinning ear to ear seeing her. Aria narrowed her eyebrows. "What?"
"What what?"
"Why are you looking at me that way?"
"Finally my sister graduated in this subject called love." She exclaimed clasping her hands together.
"What?"
"Come tell me how was your first time. Was it good?" Ivy looked at her sister with her eyes twinkling brilliantly.
"Ivy, you have gone crazy."
"Come one, tell me."
"Ivy, nothing you are thinking happened between us. We just slept."
"What? Why did you just sleep?"
"Then, what should I have done?"
"You should have done what every couple does."
"What?"
"Make love."
Aria picked the newspaper on the table and rolled it. She ran to attack her sister, but Ivy dodged her the first time. But she was not lucky the second time. Aria had hit her on her head. "Got you."
"Now tell me. Did you seriously do nothing?"
"No gossip queen. Nothing happened between us."
"Damn it. Now I will have to wait a little longer for my cute nieces and nephews. Tough luck."
"In that case, why don't you give me a niece or nephew? I want them too."
Ivy gave her an incredulous look. She should have known that she would also get reprimanded somehow. "I am yet to find a good man, okay. Otherwise, I would have thought about it a long back." The next moment her mind drifted to Joshua and the brief kiss they had shared a few weeks ago.
