The CEO Who Hates Me

Arya was surprised to receive a call from Ryu during the rehearsal. Kay noticed her pale face and asked, "Why what is wrong?"

"He said he will pick me up here." Arya murmured still not on herself.

"Oh that's great then, in three days you almost there to reach the flag. Rita will be pleased. Oh don't forget that we don't know each other when he arrives.It's best like that so in case you will disappear from his sight, I won't get pestered about your whereabouts." Kay said to remind Arya of the drama series she was into.

Arya's face suddenly got sour. Kay noticed it and sighed. "Just guard your heart. This is life's unfair reality. Sometimes you need to be selfish and do things against your will because of your love for your family. In my own opinion, it's not that cruel you know, yours was lighter and things like that tend to happen anyway in real relationship. Some even have to kill, rob or do many worst things they could think of while you will not do something as worst as that. Besides, you have a valid reason."

Valid reason? Arya closed her eyes and sighed.

She heard Kay sighed too and added, "Or maybe if you feel like Ryu was already so into you, try to balance everything out and see the possibility of opening things to him. I can sense that you like him or probably he had a good impression on you so you are hesitating now."

"To be honest, yeah I had a good impression on him. If only he was a jerk, it would be easier and I won't even have a second thought. That's why I'm also curious why someone like Rita have to bother at this extent to plot something like that to Ryu. To think we're not even that sure Ryu will fall for me." She said frowning.

"Well, maybe it's better if we don't know the whole story and don't get involve too much. Just do as Rita says and think of nothing else but your family. That's the fastest solution you can bargain for right now." Kay commented.

At the back stage, those models who went in after their catwalk were giggling. They were speaking in English since models were foreigners and some of the same nationalities spoke at each other with their own language. One of the models who were of the same nationality as hers sat beside her and said, "Those girls were frantically talking about our own country's tycoon bachelor pride."

Arya's eyebrow creased though she had an idea already of who she was referring about but she still asked innocently, "Who?"

"Ryu Ken himself was here watching the rehearsal. I wonder if he knew someone here or dating one of the models. You know how playboy tycoons like him, changing girls as easy like how they change their clothes." Dana commented.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "I never heard any buzz of him being a playboy though?"That was true or probably she just happened to miss one?

Dana laughed and said, "Don't you know that someone died because of him? They said the girl commit a suicide? Well that was put down in just a minute. All social media was shut down after that rumour as if nothing like that was even reported. It's just so happen that I knew a close friend of the girl's family."

Arya just remained silent and did not pounder to know more. She's just not interested on baseless rumours from others especially when it was unrelated to her. Kay was right, its better that she knew nothing at all and just proceed as planned. She got her phone to message Ryu.

[You are early. You might get bored. Why don't you return at the hotel first so you can rest more?]

Ryu creased his forehead seeing Arya's message.

[Why would I get bored when I had the chance to feast my eyes with continental beauties? Don't mind me, I will just wait here to see you walk then I will pass judgment on you later. Haha]

Arya pouted her lips and threw her mobile phone inside the bag.

It's her turn and she effortlessly walk on the runway. She saw Kay smiling meaningfully as he looked at her then glanced to Ryu Ken every now and then. She raised an eyebrow at him then shifted her gaze to Ryu who was staring at her like she was a specimen under his microscope.

'Criticize my butt; let's see if there's something to criticize at all.' She said inwardly as her lips curved into a wicked alluring smile while she blinked an eye at him before turning around to walk out from the stage.

Kay almost laughed out loud from a distance when he saw how playful and teasing Arya was. He was sure that she was doing that intentionally.

He was also observing Ryu Ken from the start and he can say that the guy was definitely hooked in with Arya's undeniable charm. It was so obvious because he was busy with his phone when other models were the one walking but when he saw that it was Arya's turn he stopped doing other things and closely gave his full attention to her.

'Did he even blink? Poor guy,' He thought inwardly as he shook his head.
