The CEO Who Hates Me

Upon arrival at the mansion, Ryu quickly prepared Arya's special dinner.

"You can be a great chef if this continues." Butler Omni commented while he watched Ryu whistling happily while cooking.

"I guess you enjoyed the tour so much that you are dancing with joy. I even blinked several times just to confirm you are really the child I raised since birth." He continued jokingly.

If Ryu will act like this at Ken Mansion, the entire elder's jaw will definitely drop, whether in shock or in horror, he was not sure either.

Ryu was always quiet with his family and will just talk whenever asked a question or you will be the one to approach him first.

The Ryu he was seeing the moment he stepped foot at the island was like an improved version, a different person but in a good way.

It seemed like Arya was bringing out the best in him that no one had seen or ever did so far and he was glad that he had this chance to witness that.

Love was really an amazing thing and can move a person in mysterious ways.

The smell of Ryu's dish was so inviting that Butler Omni was tempted to taste it so he quickly grabbed a plate.

"What are you doing?" Ryu asked when Butler Omni moved beside him with his plate and fork.

"What else? I will try your food and let's see how it taste." Butler Omni answered and was about to dig in when Ryu quickly covered it.

"Ask our cook to give you food. Don't you dare touch this one. It was exclusive just for my Arya." Ryu said with his hand still holding the cover firmly.

Butler Omni: ".....?"

Ryu served the One Pan Creamy Chicken Marsala with Pasta and Sheet Pan Steak and Veggies to Arya.

"Still numb? I can feed you if you want. You are right handed," Ryu suggested with his teasing tone because Arya used her right hand to please him a while ago.

'What the hell. Does he need to bring up that topic during dinner?' Arya complained inwardly.

She looked at Ryu with her sharp and narrowing eyes indicating him to stop already. Ryu just laughed and stared back at her then winked.

"Alright, eat now." Ryu said still staring at her lovingly.

Arya was blushing and said, "Stop that I can't eat properly if you keep doing that. It's uncomfortable. Just eat also and don't just stare at me."

She grabbed the spoon and as soon as she tasted Ryu's dish she was eating like there's no tomorrow once more and she no longer mind that Ryu was still staring at her very amused.

He felt full already just watching how Arya was eating with content and he was so filled with joy as he turned to his plate.

-----

It was Arya's fourth day in the island and so far all things were going well between her and Ryu.

However, the more she stays the deeper her admiration for Ryu grows and she was afraid that it will lead for a more serious thing like love.

She smirked at the word love; does she even deserve to feel that thing to someone like Ryu?

She looked at her mobile phone that Ryu returned to her after hours.

'Rita was not calling yet. Should she be happy or be alarmed by that?' she thought suddenly.

"Your mobile phone was wire tapped and had a locator installed. My men were checking already its origin." Ryu explained when he noticed Arya was staring at the phone screen.

"Can we get back on the last trial of my dad? I want to be present on that day." Arya murmured.

Ryu released a deep sighed and hugged her.

"Yes we will go. I will escort you there." Ryu answered while he kissed her head.

"Who wants to play with this old man?" Butler Omni suddenly spoke from behind.

Both Arya and Ryu who was sitting in the balcony cuddling each other both turned their heads at the old man who had a chess board in his hand.

"I don't know how to play that but I would love to learn," Arya said smiling as the old man sit on the opposite couch and set the chess board on the table.

"Well, Ryu and I will teach you as we play and I am sure you will learn fast just like in…"

"Oh please Butler Omni – stop dropping lines or you play with someone else instead." Ryu said grinning.

Butler Omni just scratched his head while Arya laughed out hard.
