Chapter 575: A battle

Out of what Noor expected, the secretary asked for Arsh's help, "Noor is going on surprise inspection, I have urgent documents to look into and start the process. I can't rest at ease leaving her alone."

Noor: "..."

'Do I look so fragile?' She really wanted to ask why she can't go alone.

Arsh agreed without a second thought. It was just a small walk in and around the hotel with the one he loves. Why will he turn it down?

"I will make sure to send her back to you, safe and sound. Uncle Sen." Arsh responded after glancing at Noor who had no idea the problem that could arise walking around alone where numerous young men work.

The secretary was left in relief after handing Noor to Arsh. He went back to work.

Noor asked before Arsh, "How is Sister Snow? Did everything settle?"

Arsh really doubts if she is really fond of him, or like him even a little. Because he always felt she loved his family only. And unsure if he was in it or not.

He plainly hummed in acknowledgment. 

Noor was quiet waiting for him to respond without knowing her patience always makes the man open his lips and speak more than usual.

"Yeah, she won't be going abroad unless it's a show. She terminated her contract with her old company."

Noor nodded at the young floor manager who seemed to be afraid for no reason, "What's wrong? Are you alright...." She looked at the name tag before addressing, "Manager Jones."

Little did she know the man behind her was the one oppressing the manager who didn't dare to look at Noor. "Y-Yeah, Director Wood. I am perfectly fine, Thank you."

Noor checked the log, circled at two as she mentioned, "What is this? I just came from an emergency exit. The lobby isn't swept and you have mentioned it's cleaned twice."

The manager who had ticked it off hearing the cleaners say it pressed his handkerchief on the cold sweat of his forehead. If Arsh wasn't there, he would have tried to lie and divert her attention but now, he could only bow and apologize.

The man behind her was like a terror of hell, inflicting fear just by a glance standing behind Noor.

Noor handled the floor before stepping into the elevator with Arsh. Her serious tone changed to exciting, "That's really awesome. Aunt Aria must be really happy. I will meet her if I can leave work early."

Arsh: "..."

They continued to talk with her inspection going on while Arsh almost scared half of the young hotel staff while the ladies, from sweepers to managers were awestruck at him. Except one, the one who was right beside him.

After the inspection was completed, he got to know Noah wasn't there. He was thinking to leave, Noor offered, "Young Master Morgan, would you like to have lunch?" It was her lunchtime.

She didn't know many office staff was waiting to sit with her for lunch and praying for Arsh to leave. 

Pausing in his footsteps, Arsh turned around catching a few eyes on them before he accepted, "Why not!"

Noor who always had lunch with Noah was glad she won't sit alone for lunch.  After a good meal, Arsh left the hotel still thinking why Noor lied to him about Naira.

Catching Noor's lies is very easy for him.

At Skyline industries,

Arna, who was busy handling the termination of her contract and discussion about the studios, convinced her modeling company manager. Her manager was going to be employed under Morgan Entertainment but she would work in country S as most of her modeling shows would be there.

She had a long meeting with her two assistants, who were responsible for the management of her studio. One assistant was going to be over there to manage that studio and another one was moving to country A to work next to her.

They had yet to decide about the rest of the workers who Arna had employed.

Right at lunchtime, she reached her mother's office and caught her father's gaze. She happily announced, "My lunch is with you guys. Shall I invite Ivan with us?"

She had just finished, she turned around to the knocks on the door. Ivan entered the office holding a few files.

"President Cooper, the delegates have boarded-" He noticed the two gazes on him. 

One Alan, who wanted to kick him out for bringing work at lunchtime. Another one was awestruck whereas the one he was there for, was busy with the file on the table.

He continued his words as though he didn't notice them, "- the plane. I have double-checked the documents. Please have a look if you need any more changes. CFO Levi will be dining with them tonight. I will entertain them for breakfast. If there is any change in your schedule, we can arrange it. Chairman Wurin is flexible with his schedule to meet you."

Arna blinked at him the whole time and finally said, "Breathe Ivan, breathe." She was never so serious with her employees, nor even the boss of the entertainment industry she had signed.

Ivan wasn't nervous but excited for the project which both Alan and Aria could sense as they had worked with him for so long.

Ivan faintly smiled at Arna, "Young Miss Morgan." He greeted her formally and successfully left her speechless.

Aria glanced at Alan who stood up. Alan lazily reached his wife who was up to no good. Her mind was thinking of a challenge to their son-in-law so he voiced her thoughts.

"There are some changes required." His words smoothly flowed in the air.

Ivan was curious, Arna turned to her mother in horror. Just by her father's voice, she could guess, Ivan had the tough battle ahead. 

'But why? He didn't accept me yet.' She thought.

"First and foremost, take her out." Obviously, he wanted his wife alone for their lunch.

Aria, Arna, and Ivan: "..."

Anyway, Ivan interjected, "I am sorry, President Morgan. I will have to take a check on it. I have a meeting in ten minutes."

Arna: "..."

Both of the important men are casting her away.

Aria was proud of Ivan. Now it was a battle between father-in-law and son-in-law.

Aria turned to Alan who had disappointment on his face, "I said away from my wife's eyes." He meant Ivan can keep her with him in the meeting hall too.

'Shameless hubby/Dad/father-in-law.' They thought.
