Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 111

Arwen was on her way out when she received a call. Checking her phone, she realized that it was Aiden. Her brows raised slightly, but then she smiled and accepted the call. "Hello. How may I help you, sir?" she joked, only to hear Aiden ask in his usual tone.

"Do you have plans this evening?"

Arwen paused at his casual yet serious tone, an odd blend of both. "You sound serious; is something wrong? Where are you?"

"In a meeting," came the reply.

And that made Arwen raise her brows again. "A meeting?" she asked and Aiden replied, "Just a small meeting with a few board members to discuss the shift of our headquarters." His tone sounded more like a husband explaining his spending to his wife, providing the details as if it were very necessary.

Arwen almost choked. "Small meeting?" Since when did the meetings with the board members start being ’small’? And it was to discuss something as major as the headquarters relocation! There was no way it was simple enough to casually make a call to her in the middle of it.

"Isn’t that an important meeting, husband?" she asked, almost crying to understand what he meant by the small meeting. "Relocating the company headquarters is no small decision. Your board members might not appreciate you being casual about it."

"It’s fine. They won’t mind." Aiden said, and his tone was so nonchalant that if Arwen didn’t know things better, she might have believed him.

Rubbing her nose, she thought to answer him quickly so that he could return back to his work, specifically to the meeting. "I am on my way somewhere now, But I will be free this evening. If it’s important, tell me, and I can help."

"If you free, let’s go out for dinner tonight," Aiden said, and Arwen was rendered speechless. He called her from the middle of an important meeting just to ask her for a date.

Was he serious?

"A dinner?" she asked, biting her lips in surprise. "Is it important?"

Aiden hummed. "My friends invited me out for a celebration of getting married. Being my wife, you should accompany me."

Arwen scratched her brows, nodding as if she understood. "Fine, let’s go and give them the treat. Pick me up later in the evening. I will wait. But for now, why don’t you get back to your meeting? I am sure if you don’t end it on time, we will be late."

"Okay then, send me your location. I will pick you up."

"Sure," she said and after a brief hum, she heard him hang up. Once the call was disconnected, she couldn’t stop herself from shaking her head. This man was incredulous. Just when she thought that she understood him, he surprised her with something different.

Giving out a deep exhale, she looked around for Mr Jones. When she spotted him, she said, "Mr. Jones, we won’t be having dinner here tonight. Please don’t bother the chefs to prepare it."
