Chapter 426: I was invisible

Eva flew to the capital with her manager and attended the award function on Tuesday bagging the award, interacting with many writers, and her idol writer. At the end of Tuesday, the Fourie and Isaac were pulling their mobile away from their ear hearing Eva squealing in happiness reiterating she got to exchange her contact details with her idol.

Isaac prepared himself to have a new love rival and he was thankful that the writer is a female at the age of late thirties. He heard the other three congratulating him instead of Eva before hanging up the call.

Now Eva had a strong fan base of readers too and he was too settled in his career, he wanted to marry her and let the world know he already has his woman but Eva was always hesitant. He knows she loves him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him but he couldn't understand why she was afraid of the media and his fans unaccepting their relationship. Whenever he tried to make her understand, she always avoided it.

Seeing him distressed, Alan had suggested him to forget or postpone the wedding and get the marriage certificate to make her his legally too. Isaac had thought of it too but he knew Eva wanted a wedding, not just go and grab a marriage certificate but to celebrate with friends and family.

Now he again decided to talk to her hoping she could just ignore those unrelatable people's judgment.

On Wednesday, everyone pushed their work to later days to attend the book reading and signing event of Eva Miller. Since it was a weekday, the expected audience wasn't high yet all the seats were filled up and Skyline had to add more seats when school students requested to allow them who had bunked school to attend the event. Aria made sure to pen down the information of those students if in case they cause trouble later. 

In the readers' section, The Fourie and their whole family were present hence Aria was greeting each one while others were greeting her almost making her think they were present to show their support to Skyline instead of Eva or her book.

Moran Hanes wanted to attend but he was out of town on a project, his father was busy at company and Jude was in Wen mansion cursing his friend to take him on vacation to meet Curtis.

Finn who wanted to skip the event chose to show his support and attended too. He saw Rose who was the main coordinator of the event. She was quick and decisive of any problems arising as she ran around in the hall before the show started.

"I thought you were busy." Aria remarked as she sat next to Finn.

Instead of answering her Finn was busy drinking the water, Aria checked his line of sight and was quite surprised to see Rose. She couldn't fathom what was going on in his head and she didn't want to ask him and make him uncomfortable either.

Finn had numerous times addressed his secretaries and Dustin as Rose and he was confused about how a simple girl who worked as his secretary for less than a month replaced all his secretaries and Dustin away from his mind that her name comes upon his tongue.

Not to mention, while going out for lunch, he intuitively checks her table which was occupied by another man. And he always frowned looking at the man as though he was occupying Rose's place. But yeah, he knew he was too used to her presence during those times and he was friendly to keep her comfortable. 

Aria was about to poke him, Finn spoke, "How do you manage to find dedicated secretaries? Your every secretary is better than another one."

Aria internally breathed a sigh realizing he was looking at Rose as an employee, a secretary, and nothing else. "I love them so they work hard. You scare your secretaries hence they work hard. My people don't want me to be disappointed in them hence they want to prove to me that I didn't choose the wrong one whereas your people don't want to get fired or get scolded by you so they work their ass off."

Finn had just asked a question but he got a complete theory of their work style. Breathing in slowly, he made a point, "If any of the directors of Skyline says you are good-hearted, I will change my work style to yours." Aria giggled but didn't respond. Finn knew well she has the President Devil title for a reason and her directors panic each time she goes over their work.

Finn gently flicked on her head and sent her, "Aunty Amelia is calling you. Ceon will be here soon so don't keep looking behind thinking I am bored."

Aria bid him and met Amelia's friends who used to think of Aria as a stain in the family after the wedding broke. Amelia simply wanted to brag to cut their tongue off so that they never speak about the Morgan family again. Aria too played along to make Amelia happy leaving their husband's lips to twitch uncontrollably looking at the innocent acting.

"Your mom doesn't know how to act."

"My wife should learn some acting too."

"Arrie naturally looks innocent."

Alan glanced at his father and shook his head resignedly. Her petite face looks innocent but only he knows the real innocent expressions of her. 'My little dummy wife!'

Rian and Roxy were speechless looking at them, they weren't stopping their wife instead they wanted to mend their acting skills to embarrass others.

All sat down and Isaac entered as a celebrity guest of the event because Eva didn't agree to reveal their relationship again. Many readers out there knew Eva and Isaac were acquainted so they cheered loudly lighting up the atmosphere deafening the soothing music playing in the background.

Rose ran up to Aria and whispered to her to ask for permission. Aria was surprised by the unexpected arrival of Eva's idol but they hadn't arranged a chair for her in the front. 

Rose voluntarily left her place to the writer and ended up on a chair next to Finn. Compared to the week she had left, she was very composed while greeting, "President Stanley." Ceon and Zara quickly became attentive to hear Finn's response.

Rose had walked next to Finn many times but she was greeting him now so his response was, "I thought I was invisible."

Ceon brows raised hearing Finn as he nodded at Zara who whispered, "Something's cooking."
