The CEO Who Hates Me

'Is he really interested in me?' Arya thought to herself while she followed Ryu Ken inside the car. She did not hesitate anymore since the incident last night; it proved that he can be trusted enough.

Inside the car, Ryu spoke, "I'm just wondering, how come you never ask for my name? Do you know me?"

Arya turned her head to look at Ryu and said, "Of course I know you. You are Ryu Ken. Who the hell won't recognize a person like you? Your face was often found in the newspapers, magazines and social media? I am not that isolated, you know."

Ryu laughed and asked, "So you knew me from the start?"

Arya creased her eyebrows and said derisively, "Hello I just answered you a while ago. That means I know you from the start. You're famous and I am sure you are well aware of that. Where are we going anyway?"

"Shopping complex." He said simply. Arya's eyes widened as she gulped, "Oh don't tell me you will shop and ask me to pay? You're a billionaire. I won't afford your standards in shopping!" Arya suddenly got worried, what if the he asked her to pay for the shopping to compensate him?

She added without batting an eye, "Besides, I believe I did not inconvenience you that much to compensate you to the highest level. We can even call it quits since you saw my precious body for free!"

Ryu laughed so hard. She was a straightforward person and he liked that. This was the first time he had met someone like her because most of the time girls acted shy, prim and proper whenever they are with him. He hated those hypocrite women just to get his attention or to get on the good side of him.

"That not a quits, don't you know that it's more inconvenient for me to see that precious body of yours?" He said with meaning while grinning.

"Don't worry. You will just accompany me there okay. It's lonely to walk around on your own." He said still grinning.

"Why don't you bring your assistant then? Aren't you scared to be on a scandal?" Arya said in an irritating tone.

"It's better that I'd be seen with a woman than a man don't you think?" He answered with a jest. It's true but he believed no one would dare after the incident with Liza. He hated fake news so he made sure to teach and remind those who tried to mess with him.

Inside the shopping complex, Arya just followed Ryu Ken and her eyeballs almost drop on the thousand dollars cost of a simple tie. 'Billionaire's, don't know where to spend their money.' She thought while sighing.

Her phone rang so she excused herself for a while and went to the restroom. It was her mother.

Meanwhile, Ryu saw a nice bag that that he thought will look good on Arya so he purchased it. He actually bought three of different designs and colors and he was smiling while he anticipated her reaction once she received those.

Arya returned inside the shop and saw Ryu with paper bags. "You need help?" she asked offering her hand to carry some of his paper bags.

"Nope, my assistant will be here in a minute to get these." Ryu said.

Arya was the one who decided where to go for dinner since she will be the one paying.

After dinner they went back to the hotel. Ryu walked her off to her room which was just near his.

'He seemed to be a nice person.' She thought inwardly. She dialed Kay.

"Hey, you really don't have an idea on what happened? Ryu Ken seems not that bad." She said. She was hesitating once more to complete the task. She heard Kay sighed.

"I really don't know. I am not even close with Rita. She was the one who contacted me because I was referred by a friend. I am also just paid to find the right person to her taste and report the progress of the task." Kay explained.

Then he added, "We can't back down now. Your sister's operation is tomorrow. Your father's case is also running with good progress."

Kay sighed and continued, "Another option is to confess everything to Ryu this early. But that's a risk because we are not really sure what his personality is. It's either he will help with your situation or be angered and don't bother with you at this stage. You still have a choice and I will support you on whatever your final decision is."

Arya just inhaled and exhaled deeply. It's too early to tell, who she is anyway to Ryu? She's a nobody that he just met yesterday.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. "Yes?" she asked after opening the door.

"Good evening madam. Sir Ryu would like you to have these." The man said as he handed her three paper bags.

The man quickly left after giving her the paper bags. Arya opened it and was shocked. There were three expensive bags and her eyes almost dropped with the prices. "Why would he give me these?" Arya asked loudly.

She quickly put the bags bag in the paper bags and walked out to Ryu Ken's room.

"Hey there, get inside." Ryu was smiling wide as he opened the door for her. Arya entered and placed the paper bags on the table. "Why gave me these?" she asked frowning.

"You did not like them?" Ryu asked while preparing a coffee.

"Of course I like them. They are pretty and so pricy. Who wouldn't? I'm asking why you are giving me those. We are not close enough I believe." Arya said.

"I don't need to be closed with someone just to send gifts just so you know. Besides, you mentioned that I should be the one to compensate you before for seeing your precious body. So just accept those so you won't feel burden whenever I will ask for you to accompany me or treat me to meals." Ryu said simply as he handed her the coffee.

He was comfortable around Arya. Their hand touched and he shook his head. He felt something with just a simple brushing of skin with Arya.

He was definitely interested on her and he wanted to see how much that interest will grow as days goes by. He wanted to know her more. He smiled seeing Arya no longer commented and just accepted his reasons.
