41 Why do Misogyny need to date?

"Yes! you can be my stylist." Alan said coldly and strode aside.

Aria: "..."

'Did I anger him? Why will I be his stylist?'

"Hey!" She went behind him and poked his arm to get his attention.

He paid and collected bags that had his suit. Seeing him go out, she followed him as she asked, "Did I say something wrong? What happened? Didn't you like this outfit? You are looking stellar than in your boring suits. Why are you getting..."

Satisfied with the compliments, he turned to her saying softly, "Yes! You are very skilled."

Aria: "..."

She was speechless seeing his hand rubbing her head gently. She controlled the urge to toss his hand away and passed the small paper bag. "This will look good with the outfit."

He hadn't taken the bag yet, they heard a girl's voice. "Are you guys on a date?"

The voice was known to Aria but her lips twitched as she turned to her. So as Alan. The latter's face darkened soon as the girl continued to talk.

"Arrie! I know you are dumb when it comes to boys or a relationship but are you out of your mind to call me to your date?"

Aria gritted her teeth, "Eva! I'm not dating him. What's wrong with you? Didn't I say he has an arranged lunch date today?"

Eva flicked on her head, "Exactly! You two are on a date and you muddle-headed! why did you call me?"

Alan didn't think Aria could call somebody else to accompany her on 'his date'.

Aria took a deep breath. "Young master Morgan has arranged a lunch date with somebody else. He asked... No! The whole Morgan family wants me to be the third wheel on his lunch date to help him to choose a girl."

Eva understood the whole thing. She had got a message from Aria to meet at the mall and they will have lunch. Hence she got ready and went.

Eva's face turned red controlling herself from laughing at Aria's fate. "Young master Morgan! I suggest you leave my wifey... I mean Arrie out of your lunch date because all your dates will get insecure seeing my goddess next to you. And my poor girl, never..."

Aria covered her mouth quickly. "Sell me off! I will kill you."

Alan knew many would obviously step back from their dream of getting him if Aria was next to him.

Eva peeled Aria's hands-off and flirted, "Sweetheart! Are you abandoning me after getting a handsome man? And look at you! You even got ready for the handsome man. Didn't I love you enough? My poor heart. How can you hurt my fragile heart? Hottie! Come back to me."

Aria's face flushed red by the end of her sentence. "Did you forget who is standing behind me? I will die of embarrassment."

Her voice was too meek which heard only by Eva. The latter always enjoyed teasing her. Since she was already caught once to Alan, she didn't feel like the second time would make some changes in opinion.

Eva looked at the duo alternatively and said excitedly, "Undoubtedly! You two look great together."

"Eva!" Aria grunted with a grim face.

Alan liked what Eva said but he frowned hearing Aria.

Eva didn't expect that reaction either. "I..."

Aria felt bad for shouting at her hence she cut in, "Of course! Whoever I stand with, they will look great with me."

Even though she got teased by his name many times, Aria didn't like to be shipped in front of Alan. She didn't want him to misunderstand their jokes and teases by taking it seriously.

Eva relaxed a bit. She and Alan knew why Aria said it.

Aria held Eva's hand and turned to Alan, "Eva will be with me in the next table to yours."

Alan's face was dark. He wasn't ready to sit with a stranger girl and hear nonsense. "You guys enjoy! I will leave." He promptly left.

Aria felt like crying. "This man is such a child. Eva! I will die soon in annoyance." She started hitting her forehead on Eva's shoulder.

Eva looked at the departing figure. She felt like things weren't as simple as Aria said. She thought there must be a reason why the Morgan family or Alan were being unreasonable. But her dumb friend wasn't understanding.

"Arrie! Go with the Young Master. I will go home or call anybody to accompany me."

Seeing Aria's troubled face, Eva assured again, "I'm fine! Don't worry about me... I will let you off if you give me a full update later."

Aria hugged her, "I will call when this date trouble gets over."

"Darling! I'm giving you my full strength. Mwa" Eva lightened her mood before sending her.

If Aria wasn't staying with the Morgan family and if Alan wasn't her guardian who helped her out so many times, she would have ignored him without thinking. But...

'Why do misogyny need to date?' She took a deep breath and strode faster as she tried to call him.

Eva took out her mobile and called Rian looking at departing Aria...

Aria didn't receive any response when Alan answered the call. "Where are you? I'm coming."

There was an annoying long silence till she reached the escalator. Then she heard, "Towards the exit."

She turned towards the exit and spotted him, "I saw you! I'm coming."

She hung up the call. She looked at him who was stationary as the people around him passed. She felt like, the time had stopped for him seeing him not move a little.

Her mobile diverted her attention from him and saw the caller before answering it. "Aunty!"

"Arrie! What are you guys doing?"

Aria responded, "Finished shopping for Young master, now we will go to the restaurant."

There was a weird silence then Amelia continued, "See! I told you, you are our lucky charm. Now send me a picture of Alan. Let me see him."

Aria didn't get time to react and heard a beep sound. She opened the camera and took Alan's picture as she walked towards him and sent it before putting it back to her bag.

After she reached, both didn't speak and went to his car. Alan opened the door for her before keeping bags in the car trunk and driving out of parking.

Aria gave full grades for her patience. Seeing him driving towards the Morgan mansion. "Restaurant is that side, why are you driving this side?"

Alan glanced at her frown, "You don't like to come so don't force yourself."

Aria rested her head on headrest looking towards him, "Will you go without me?"

He didn't reply and the answer was obvious.

"It's true that I don't like to go to somebody's date. But I have already told you that I will help you, so I'll help you till the end or till you don't require me. Drive to the restaurant now."

Alan glanced at her passively. "You shouldn't do it halfheartedly in a hurry to escape from these, you will review everyone as good."

Aria's expression turned cold and looked ahead. "I don't like it doesn't mean I will do it halfheartedly. If you doubt me, I don't have to come. Stop the car."
