Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Rose was pouting when she returned to her seat and sat. 'I am not dumb, you are the who is dumb.'

At the end of the day, Rose had nothing to do other than following Finn to the meetings, making notes, managing his schedules, arranging his meetings, and similar stuff. Those were pieces of cake for her.

It repeated two more days and Rose was bored as hell at her desk. She doubted if she was on vacation at starlight.

At Wood's International.

Ceon Davis's father got to know why Ceon was so punctual for many days and importantly, didn't see him going for the parties.

Zara was entering the office when she noticed a middle-aged man arguing with the receptionist, "Excuse me, what is going on here?"

The receptionist breathed a sigh after seeing Zara, "Director Wood, he is President Davis, father of your assistant, Ceon Davis. He wanted to meet you and was trying to barge in thinking I was bluffing."

Zara was comfortable with Ceon. They work, have lunch, enjoy shopping and close enough to talk about any topics. But they were like friends and his father's presence at her workplace was uncanny.

She spoke in composure, "You continue your work. President Davis, I'm Director Wood, if it's alright, shall we talk in the waiting room?"

Master Davis was impressed by how Zara handled without ignoring him or raising her voice. He was glad Ceon didn't go around with a random girl and chose a well-mannered lady. 

"Sure." He responded and followed her to the adjacent waiting room of the visitors.

"Please have a seat. Would you like any refreshments?"

Master Davis hummed in satisfaction hearing her, "No, thank you. I actually came here to see who my son is chasing after."

Zara was straightforward to avoid misunderstanding, "President Davis, it's true I'm the girl your son likes but I haven't accepted or gave my consent yet. So he is currently working as my assistant here."

Zara expected him to enrage but he smiled and said, "It's alright. The good thing is because of you, he is leading his life in a better way. If that rascal misbehaves, just give me a call, I will break his leg."

That was totally unexpected for Zara. Ceon wasn't working at Davis company and he was running behind her as an assistant in the hopes of getting her consent to date but his father didn't get angry instead he was glad to know that.

Zara didn't know how to respond looking at him.

President Davis initially wanted to try to couple Ceon with Aria. Even though he had liked how Aria looked after her company, he didn't actually like her daughter-in-law due to her overbearing and domineering side.

He was glad he didn't overdo with Aria and kept it to himself. Now seeing soft-spoken Zara Wood, he liked her at first meet. He didn't have any objection to Ceon's choice.

He was about to speak, they heard a knock on the door followed by, "Zara, we are getting late for inspection." That voice trailed off when he saw the middle-aged man turn towards the door.

Ceon had two thoughts in his head, Zara might be mad at him and called his father to complain or his father is against his choices.

Thinking about how well they were getting along, he cleared the first thought and looked at his father, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

Master Davis stood up and shook Zara's hand, "Have a good day. Sorry for bothering you."

"No problem President Davis."

While passing by Ceon, Master Davis grunted and left leaving Ceon edgy. Zara noticed that and controlled smile. She played him to take revenge on his petty games, "I didn't expect this from you."

Ceon: "..."

'What did I do?'

He went behind Zara trying to fathom the situation but failed, "Zara, what did I do? Did you call Dad? Or did he say anything to you?... Zara, tell me what happened?... Zara, if you don't tell me, how can I know?"

Noah who watched Zara smiling and Ceon confused running behind her was really happy for Zara.

"Noah..."

Noah turned around to see Norah sitting on the floor with paper flying all around. He couldn't help but chuckle going towards her. "I had told you to stop wearing those sky-high heels."

Noah was about to pull her up, Norah pulled him down for daring to laugh at her, "I had told you to choose better dress shoes."

"Really? I wouldn't mind slipping on the floor and capturing you." Noah pinned her on the floor seeing her fluster looking at the door.

"Noah, we are in the office."

"Aren't you the one who wanted me to fall for you?" Noah started teasing, hearing her cry to stop afraid his secretaries were going to enter and see them.

Ceon was tired of asking and thinking about what happened and what Zara and his dad spoke with each other. "Let me drive, you rest." Ceon's voice was down saying it. They were going to a neighboring city for a check on the progress of the interior of their new hotel. He asked thinking Zara won't be comfortable driving the curvaceous roads of the mountain.

"I will drive, the mountainous road is fun to ride. I hardly go out."

"Then you should visit Trollstigen in Norway, the Stelvio pass in Italy, Los Caracoles pass in Chile, Tian men mountain road in China. They are amazing and have breathtaking views than this... When you are free and need a vacation, tell me, I will take you there."

Zara had to say a single word that she liked and the whole Wikipedia opens in front of her. She was already used to hearing his record. "But I want to visit Millau Viaduct in France."

Ceon nodded hearing her, "I have been there. That's one of the tallest bridges in the world. Instead of just going to France to visit that, there are many interesting stuff and things to do over there."

"Why do you know so much? I feel like I don't know anything."

Ceon chuckled hearing her pitiful voice, "I am a blogger. I will try to gain as much information about things as possible. It helps me to write."

'Screech'

Zara slammed on the brakes and turned to him. She wildly guessed a name to ask, "Are you the famous 'On the Verge' blogger?"

Ceon was surprised, "Yeah, have you seen my blog?"

"Holy! God, You are the 'On the Verge'. I had written you two emails and you had replied to me twice asking me to refer to your two blogs and you visited Millau Viaduct when I suggested you in the comments."

"Wait wait wait... You... are you the 'Blue Lurker'? I thought it's some guy."

Zara excitedly responded, "That's me. I have been following you for six years already. Your blogs are like practically my mood booster after my attempt to suicide."

"What?" Ceon blurted out in shock.
