Aiden stared down at her and saw her cheeks turning red. She looked like a little bunny who was looking here and there, trying to find an escape.
Adorable as always!
The more she looked like that, the more he wanted to tease her. Tugging again on the lapel of the jacket, he pulled to make her look back at him. "Are you sure?" he asked, and not understanding what he meant, Arwen looked at him confused.
"Sure about what?"
His smirk deepened and he slowly leaned down, closer to her ears to whisper. "Are you sure you don’t need a stronger reminder that will not let you forget it at all? If you want, I can give it to you always." Saying that, he didn’t even give her a moment to think and bit her ear, making her gasp. "Something like this."
"You —" she stepped back, pressing a hand on her ear. They have already stepped out of his office which meant they could be seen easily. Her eyes darted to look around to check, but luckily there was no one. "Are you crazy? I don’t need any of such reminders. I will remember it even without it."
Glaring at him, she then gestured him towards the elevator. "Now, let’s go," she said and then already started walking towards the elevator.
Aiden followed her. Arwen paused near Emyr’s desk and then turned around to ask, "Mr. Ethan would be coming along with us, right?"
Aiden understood what she meant to ask. Nodding, he said, "He must be already waiting in the car." Arwen nodded and then they together walked into the elevator.
The elevator soon opened again on the ground floor and Arwen stepped out. Her eyes instinctively darted to the reception desk. Her brows furrowed slightly when she didn’t see the same receptionist from before. She sighed and shook her head internally. She had already expected this to happen.
"What happened?" Aiden asked when he saw her looking in one direction.
Arwen shook her head. "Nothing," she said. "I just realized people around you are very efficient and decisive. Are they like this always?"
He didn’t understand what she meant, but taking the literal meaning of her words, he anyway nodded. "They are said to follow the set rules in any situation. For that, they didn’t need to wait for the orders from above."
"Set rules!" she repeated. Seemed like she was one among that set of rules. Shaking her head, she didn’t bother to think more. Nodding, she simply agreed in understanding and then walked out.
The drive home was pretty simple. Not much conversation was made. Arwen sat silently, thinking about her own emotions while Aiden sat on his own. For a moment, the hushed air in the car like that even confused Emyr, but in the end, he also didn’t speak to disrupt the peace.
Soon, they arrived back at the estate.
"I will go first and check a few things," Arwen said immediately when the car was pulled back. Then without waiting for Aiden to say anything, she turned and pushed the door of the car open. Stepping down, she left. frёewebnoѵēl.com
