The CEO Who Hates Me

Arya opened her eyes and stared at Ryu's serene face after she heard him.

She was actually waiting for Ryu to come back so they could talk but it took him very long and she dozed off while waiting.

She gently touched his cheek as she smiled affectionately.

"Of course I would come back to you." She whispered lovingly and then kissed him tenderly on his lips.

Then she deepened the kiss as she wanted more, twirling her tongue inside his mouth and tasting him while she slowly flipped over and placed herself on top of him, still kissing him deeply.

Ryu opened his eyes. "You're awake?" He asked in a muddled voice breaking the kiss.

"Obviously, I'm kissing you right?" Arya murmured mischievously and then again took his lips and continued kissing him.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Ryu asked cupping her face in his hands and pushing her away looking deep into her eyes.

"I'm kissing you?" Arya whispered slowly.

"No, not that," Ryu said

"Obviously!" said Arya again…

"No Arya….before that….please say it again…" said Ryu little impatiently.

"Uhm I said that I would come back to you for sure once my contract period with Rita would have ended." Arya said seriously.

"Why?" Ryu asked nervously. He was not breathing at all while waiting for Arya's answer.

"Because…..because… I like you too much," Arya smiled sweetly and whispered in his ears while her face blushed and she buried her face in the crook of Ryu's neck to hide her embarrassment.

Ryu hugged her tightly and he gently positioned her to his side. He kissed her forehead and said, "Go back to sleep now. I will stay here with you."

Ryu sighed and thought, 'When will I hear those words from you?'

He wanted to hear the most enchanting word LOVE from her.... not like….as there is a vast difference in these two words….and Ryu wanted to feel this difference now…wanted to hear the word LOVE from the lips of his wife…

"Ryu, can I ask you something?" he heard Arya spoke as she slightly moved her head backwards to look at him in his eyes.

"Uhm, about your blind date tomorrow, are you really going?" Arya asked timidly.

Ryu's lips curved upward, his eyes glittered and his spirit suddenly lifted up.

"Why? What about it? Don't you want me to go?" he asked trying hard to hide his excited tone.

Arya bit her lips as she lowered her eyes and confessed, "Uhm, yeah I don't want you to go. I know I have no right to stop you from going but I really hope you don't go."

"Alright, I will not go only if you give me enough reason not to." Ryu said in a sober tone.

"I told you already how much I like you," Arya complained.

"But that's not enough reason for me," Ryu said plainly.

Arya crumpled her face with irritation and said, "Okay fine go on with that stupid date tomorrow and see how I ruin it tomorrow. Didn't you say that I have to stick beside you, so now you better not leave me here."

Then she abruptly turned her back on him and closed her eyes.

'Why is she such complicated? All she has to say is that she loves me but she keeps using the word like!' Ryu thought irritably before closing his eyes.

The next morning, Chen scratched his head. Master Ryu and Madam Arya both had terrible looks on their faces.

Arya wore a sexy styled office outfit which defined her womanly curves with precision.

"Can't you change into a more formal kind of dress?" Ryu said.

Arya arched an eyebrow and looked at Chen then asked, "How do I look Chen? Is this not suitable enough to you as the CEO's personal assistant?"

Chen released a restless sigh and he looked to Arya with pleading eyes that said, 'Please Madam show mercy on me. Master Ryu will kill me if I answer you honestly.'

Arya understood his pleading looks and hissed, "Okay don't answer. But I will not change because I'm perfectly fine with my outfit and can't find faults with it, so let's go!"
