Chapter 180: Twist: Aria fainted

Days passed by, Skyline was stable as ever without getting affected by Alan's any attack. But Alan couldn't help but resort to something he never liked to do.

Got along with an heiress of a company that led that company to help out Alan as he wanted.

Everyone might think he was moving on but Aria knew he was trying to provoke her. He wanted to see her react to it. 

But when Aria saw it, she just threw the paper away and got back to work. 

She knew very well, Alan was just showing to the media he was dating that girl whereas he never would even like to sit next to her or have a proper talk.

Going on date with somebody else other than Aria wasn't in his dictionary.

Alan was on news every day with that girl but Aria didn't care. Aria was on news every single day either for business or for her outfit for the day. 

In just a month she was a stylish Youngest woman President. She had fan pages. Her styles sold in Skyline retail-like crazy. 

Many newspapers had a separate column to her outfit for the day that attracted only admiration from all types of people because she never wore exposing or too old fashioned. 

She smartly designed, meticulously chose and styled.

The attention she was grabbing just by that was soaring leaving Alan's articles to move to sides. 

Alan didn't like how she didn't bother to know about his relationship with that heiress.

Then there was breakup news but that company had no power to pull back from the Morgan Industries. 

Alan was clueless about Starlight's first magazine and the live interview was by Aria.

When everyone was discussing breakup story, Aria was ruling in the front cover. 

'While the groom's break-up stories started, the bride is sovereign in the media and business' was many netizens' views.

The Skyline PR department was very happy with it.

The issue raised about the construction of the indoor studio which Skyline had halted. They arranged a meeting and Aria went with Levi, department executives, and legal personnel.

Aria and Alan were at opposite ends of the long table. The confrontation from both sides started but Alan's eyes didn't move away from Aria whose eyes never fell on Alan.

The Skyline had a clause that if the payment wasn't on time, they would have all the rights to withhold the construction and use their workers for other construction. 

Now the Skyline was working on another project, they asked to wait which obviously was delaying the plans of the Morgan industries.

Aria finished working on her laptop hearing them. She closed her laptop and went to use the restroom.

Alan who was sitting motionlessly entered the ladies' restroom without care. A lady ran out giving a disdainful look to Alan. 

Aria saw him through the mirror while washing her hands. When she turned to leave, he pulled her back cornering her.

Aria couldn't believe her defenses get weak even after convincing herself for so long. But she froze when he embraced her without trying to do anything. 

The same warm embrace she yearned every day.

The same warm embrace she used to feel safe and secure.

She could feel his body relaxing holding her in his embrace. She could feel him relaxing.

But Aria had to dig her nails hard to her palms to remind herself to stay stationary.

That made Alan embrace her tight and smile. Even though he didn't get in return, he was happy with just that.

Aria decided to be evil, "Done with your fake affection? Didn't your week-girlfriend hug you? I thought you guys must have shared a bed."

Alan gritted his teeth, "If not, are you going to do it?"

He didn't want to trouble her but he made her sit on a cabinet forcefully. He started kissing her but he couldn't go after just a few seconds seeing her sit like a statue.

He punched the mirror in frustration and left her. 'Can't you let me be happy for five minutes?'

Aria adjusted her blazer and top then noticed the blood drops on the floor. 

In a panic, she ran out calling him, "Alan... Alan..."

Levi pulled her to stop. 

"Alan got hurt. I have..." She suddenly felt hard to breathe and entered the restroom before locking the door.

Alan who had entered the conference room, exited the room again hearing Aria's anxious voice but just got to see Levi's blank face. 

Levi had passed his laptop to a secretary to continue noting and exited when Alan followed her out. 

If he had heard Aria's loud voice he would have bolted in but Alan exited before Aria who wasn't hurt physically.

Aria took a long time to compose back after crying out and make herself prepared to be emotionless if she had to look at Alan.

Levi patiently waited. He had just heard a woman forget everything when her man was hurt which he witnessed live.

He took her back inside.

Nathan asked Aria, "President Cooper, is there..." He unknowingly trembled due to the piercing glare of Alan.

"Young... Young Madam president, Is there a no way out?" He quickly finished and lowered his head thinking Aria might scold him for hearing 'Young Madam President'. 

He couldn't understand when they broke up, why was Alan still making him call her young madam?

It wasn't only his, many had the same doubt excluding Aria and Levi. 

"Beg."

"Huh?" All looked at her in confusion.

"Ask your Mighty President Morgan to beg me." Aria emotionlessly spoke leaving all flabbergasted including Levi.

Alan got up like a gentleman and walked towards Aria. All were nervous thinking he might hit her but he said something in her ear and left the conference room. 

Aria gritted her teeth because he had said, 'Is it like how you used to beg me to stop when you couldn't take me anymore?'

All dispersed without any use of the meeting...

Seeing Aria troubled sitting on her chair in her office, Levi was concerned. "Did President Morgan do something?"

Aria shook her head "I'm fine. Get me juice or something."

Levi quickly went out to get it. Aria who took hot water was walking towards her desk but she felt dizzy and fainted.

Levi being her personal bodyguard was panicked seeing her on the floor when he entered her office with juice. 

He didn't think anything and directly took her to hospital informing Finn, and calling her personal doctor.

Aria was paled which kept him on needles thinking he didn't look after her well. 

He was even preparing himself to get admonished by everyone and he had yet to think what Finn and Harold were going to do with him.
