Scarlett Cooper gave her husband a disdainful look. "Do I have to refresh your memory why your daughter and Arrie hates you? Mind your tongue if not, get lost of my sight."

Jasper gritted his teeth and followed them.

​​

They entered to see Abel Parker and Calvin Parker sitting inside.

Aria who took water mumbled looking at five in her room, "Do I still look gullible after what and all I am doing?"

Levi hummed promptly, "You also look pitiful."

"Can't you make me happy at least once?" Aria pouted at him taking her hot water mug and sat on her seat.

Seeing Aria and seeing her making faces for little things, he started to feel like he was working under a crazy little sister instead of an emotionless autocratic president which she shows to everybody else.

"Yes, who is going to speak first?" Aria asked as she continued to work on her laptop.

"Little sister, we know you are hurt but is it necessary to show yourself as cold?" Calvin said heartbrokenly.

Aria clenched her fist.

Levi who kept coffee on the table shook his head at her to cue to be calm.

Aria calmed down instantly.

"I'm fine... Can you speak off faster? I have more important work."

Levi had thought she was good at controlling emotions hearing her last line, he hit his forehead as he exited.

Scarlett spoke, "Arrie if you don't like to stay here, why don't you shift the headquarters and move with me?"

Aria leisurely raised her head as her eyes traced each one of them before stopping Scarlett.

"Aunty Scarlett, you might me magnanimous to forgive what your family did to you but I'm sorry, I am not. Until I'm satisfied with making them pay back double, I will stay here."

Jasper Madison gritted his teeth, "Arrie, it was all past."

Aria nodded, "And your young mistress is your present."

Roxy's facial expression changed, "Dad, is it true?"

Aria didn't know Roxy had no idea about it. Scarlett had kept it hidden well from Roxy but...

Roxy laughed mockingly, "You aren't even fit to be anybody's father."

Scarlett tried to calm Roxy but Aria cut in, "Roxy, is he the reason behind your hidden identity from me, change in your family name and wanted to get close to me?"

Even though Aria hardly spoke to Roxy, she had a basic knowledge.

Roxy bit her lip and nodded. "My intention wasn't to lie to you on the first day of school."

Aria nodded, "Rian knows about this?"

Roxy nodded and saw the faint smile on Aria's face. "I'm sorry, sorry, I will never lie again."

Aria nodded and turned to Scarlett, "Aunty Scarlett, I'm happy that you thought about me. I'm not a little girl who needs somebody around. If nothing you guys can carry on your family drama outside of my company."

"And you! You are moving in with me." It was for Roxy who stays at her rental apartment or Rian's villa.

Roxy happily agreed before leaving. She always wanted Aria to treat her as a younger sister and she loved how Aria ordered instead of asking.

Scarlett was relieved knowing they were getting along and the purpose of visiting country A was fulfilled. "Arrie, if you need me for anything, drop me a call. Take care of each other."

Aria just gave a nod and didn't care to respond to Jasper who wanted to talk to her if she could help him out in his business loss.

Her eyes landed on Calvin and Abey who were looking at her as if they never saw her once.

"Yes?"

Calvin breathed out through his mouth and composed, "Arrie, I don't think you should stay alone. You know how capable President Morgan is."

Aria clenched her fist when she heard 'President Morgan' from Calvin. "So? Brother Calvin, who do you think knows President Morgan better than me?"

Her emotionless voice poured a bucket of cold water.

Abey spoke patting Calvin's hand who didn't like how Aria was speaking to them, "Calvin, Arrie couldn't even recover and she is looking after company, understand it."

'Recover?' She wasn't sure she could recover or not.

Abey then spoke to Aria, "Arrie, why don't you and your cousin move into our villa? It isn't safe for your two girls to stay in your villa and there should be an elder who could be your strength if anything happens."

Aria wanted to laugh hearing about their villa.

"Uncle Parker, do I look like an idiot? Why will I move into your villa? To let your daughter laugh at me? What security are you speaking about? My villa regency has top security in the whole city than the state administration regency. Even the military families stay around there."

Calvin warned, "Arrie, you might be president, respect elders. Did you forget that?"

Aria raised her brows indifferently, "For your kind information, you are sitting in the president's office. Not in your villa or mine. Uncle Parker is the vice president who came to the office just now keeping himself busy with his daughter's wedding without caring about the status of the company. Do you even have the idea of the workload I'm having right now? I'm giving respect to him without asking him to work or do overtime doing it all by myself. Before you raise your voice at me, do mind to care where you are sitting."

She clearly knew well how Abey got the relationship for his daughter, Kite Parker.

It was using Skyline and Aria's name.

When that man entered her office saying he was her brother-in-law, only she knew how she controlled from throwing him out of the company just to give a face to Abey and the Parker family.

'Nerve to ask me for respect.' Aria changed her line of sight to the laptop.

"I'm not shifting to your place and I don't want anybody to be the strength of anything."

Calvin wanted to think she was emotionally unstable but he still couldn't. He could say something was amiss by her behavior with them but he couldn't put finger on it.

Abey wasn't angered. "Alright then, I and aunty will move in with you too. We can't feel at ease knowing you are alone with maids."

Aria was about to retort, Calvin rebuffed, "Now don't tell us you don't have a room. Value the ones who care about you."

Aria wasn't sure whether she was taken away by her emotions or she really wanted to punch Calvin's face.

"Alright, My mansion."
