203 Upper hand against Xin

But Alan's response to Ford's request was, 'I'm busy.'

Monroe had only seen him at a distance in her first year and never got a chance to meet him. 

Whenever she got to know anybody proposing to Alan, she would try to make her mind to talk but she always trembled after getting his glimpse.

When she had returned to country A, Aria had shifted to country S to the same college. So she didn't have much idea about Aria other than hearing from secretaries saying about her, Alan's mood and his behavior around her, and how much they were missing Aria's presence.

She had gone through Aria's verified social media account to see how she looks. She didn't worry about her presence and tried to get near Alan without any fruitful results but she didn't lose hopes.

Only twice she had got a glimpse of Aria's back when she had visited country A and took Alan out for the complete day on his birthday.
