Chapter = 54

" Hey. Can you do something for me? "

The man's voice brought Ara back in reality. He was breathing heavily, indicating that he has been running to get away from something or someone. Ara blinked, her imagination left unfinished as she gazed into Man's slightly annoyance filled eyes.

" H-how? "

Before Ara could process anything, the man's arm shoot up wrapping around her waist before pulling her flush against himself. He pinned her on wall making her eyes go wide in shock. What was he doing? He took some deep breaths to control himself as he spoke.

" Be my girlfriend. "

" WHAT- "

The man immediately covered her mouth with his hand, stopping her from screaming any further but damage was already done.Her deep blue eyes widened in shock at his action as his eyes roamed around the bathroom for a escape. Just then-

" Ian Baby? "

A soft feminine voice stopped in front of the washroom door as Ian quickly pulled Ara into a stall locking it behind, just as the girl from outside entered. Ara remained frozen by his touch as she without any shame and realisation continue to look at him with wide astonished eyes. The sound of heels clicking on tiled floor echoed in the washroom.

Soon the girl left the washroom while continuing to call out his name. After she was gone, they both realised how close they were to each other. Ara looked at him before looking down at his hand which was covering her mouth. He quickly stepped back creating distance, his hand dropped from her mouth as they both step out of bathroom together cautiously.

There was a silence of awkwardness as Ian named guy checked outside the door to make sure there is no one around while Ara stood there dumbfounded watching him take a deep breath in relief. His dark green eyes falling over her shortly before he looked away again with a unreadable look on his face.

" Um so who was........she? "

Ara broke the awkward silence with a question that was itching her. Her voice was soft and careful embracing herself from the emotions that were swelling inside her right now. She tried not to catch his eyes as he turned to her while running his hand on his dark hairs. He sneered slightly before responding.

" Eleanor Grace. "

Ara paused slightly, suddenly it clicked onto her mind. Eleanor Grace, The younger member of Grace Royal family of British. She was pretty famous with beautiful almond amber eyes and a tempting gorgeous figure. She was considered a role model of every girl and Ara did heard the news of Eleanor getting engaged with Ian Melvine, the young powerful CEO and also the older brother of Ruslan, the troublemaker who is now busy simping over weird food combinations.

If the lady that was just here few seconds ago was Eleonor then, Ara's eyes turned to him instantly who was already looking at her with a unreadable look on history face. She now recognised him as the Infamous Business Bastard, Ian Melvine. Known for his 67 mood swings which doesn't fails to choke his workers all day, the great jerk who fired twenty workers at a glance, just because they failed to make his favourable coffee. The man who would even make you get up at 3 Am for a urgent business meeting.

Ara knew him through her father who was also a businessman. She remembers hearing about him from her father. And before she could even stop herself, she mumbled.

" The Business Bastard? "

His face remained unreadable but surely his eyes darkened. Her eyes widened as she realised what she just said. Ara covered her mouth with a gasp, beating herself at the back of mind for even uttering that word knowing he didn't liked, hated that nickname.

" What did you just.....said? "

His voice was low and threatening as he takes a step towards her, making Ara unconsciously step back. Her mouth was tied and mind a mess, she didn't knew how to answer him when she openly called him out. Seeing her take step back, he followed without a word and soon he had her cornered. She knew she had a very low chances of survival at this point. She knew taekwondo but she couldn't just attack him when it was clearly her fault.

" I....I meant....You are a Business Best-amazing-sizzling-tranquil-admirable-radiant-dazzling Man. "

She shoot him a innocent wide smile with a face that had no filter of how she was lying. Ian just raised his eyebrow, clearly catching her lie but decided to be silent about it. He nodded slightly, impressed by the use of words. As he looked away, lost in thoughts, Ara quitely sighed in relief. She just wanted to be anywhere, not near him. She took a step forward to leave when he suddenly grabbed her arm, pulling her back. Ara was taken aback but a shiver ran down her spain when his hard chest slightly touched her back. She felt his presence behind her as soon she could feel his hot breath against her ear as he whispered.

" Help me with something Sweetheart and I'll forget that you ever called me a Business Bastard. "

Her breath hitched at his words. His breath was hot so was his touch on her arm. Her skin burnt under his hold as faint blush appeared on her cheeks realising the closeness. His dark green eyes bored into her frozen side profile, caressing her cheeks with his gaze. Ara gulped before turning her head and looking up at him, their lips few millimeters away with their hot breaths washing over each other's lips.

" With....what? "

Ian only smirked.
