'I thought I was invisible.' Ceon felt like Finn expected Rose's attention which he hadn't got.

Rose bit her lips and lowered her head. Of course, she had noticed him but she wanted to concentrate on her work. "I... I was working."

​​

Finn looked at her for a few seconds and hummed before shifting his gaze on the mobile.

Zara's instincts were strongly telling her, "Ceon, Rose likes Finn." She whispered and grimly continued, "Your friend is pig-headed with the faulty brain."

Ceon's lips opened in excitement but closed again. He had to suppress his urge to ask Rose for confirmation, "I know he is Buffon, blockheaded dolt. Ugh." But he had no choice to say anything. He was sure Finn had Aria in his heart and telling him about Rose might cause Finn to push her away.

The program soon started and Eva who used to be unfazed by the crowd was nervous because it was her first signing and reading event. Isaac cued the emcee to begin it for her and sat looking at her.

Alan who noticed him pulled Aria's chair closer to him and leaned her on him, "Why does your friend can't go public about her relationship?"

Aria glanced at him realizing Isaac was troubled by it hence Alan cared to speak about them, "I spoke to her, she is trying to make her mind. She is afraid for Isaac remembering David Watson's career after he announced his relationship... She is scared of losing Isaac but she isn't speaking it out."

Alan hummed, he didn't let her sit away from him and heard Eva reading out the chapter which she likes or her readers most talk about. He had thought either family and the couple responsible for insecurity between them, now he realized, many things affect despite loving each other.

...

The event was arranged in the afternoon hence it was evening when the event successfully completed while Eva cried internally signing hundreds of books. She understood the real pain of a celebrity looking at the right hand.

After making sure, everything was clear, Rose noticed Aria's numerous calls. She quickly called Aria walking out of the hall and realized she didn't get her car and had reached there with another colleague who had left.

"President Cooper, I am sorry, mobile was in silent mode hence I didn't get to know."

Aria's words left her fidgety, [Finn is in the parking, he will drop you home.] Aria wanted to leave a car or wait for her but Finn sent her with Alan and waited for Rose.

'Honk'

Finn who saw her coming out drove to the entrance and honked frightening her and the mobile she was holding, 'Crack...' It crashed on the road splitting into two rolling on the stairs.

Finn pursed his lips from laughing at her, he realized he wasn't missing her but her stupidity and clumsiness around him. "Do you want me to open the door for you?"

Since Aria arranged and Finn waited for so long, she didn't want to put on the air of taking a taxi so she shook her head and grabbed her broken mobile before sitting on the shotgun seat of Pagani. "Thank you, President Stanley."

Finn simply hummed passing his mobile to her to talk to who she was talking to earlier. After relaying the information to Aria the car fell silent for a long time. Rose kept her eyes out of the window watching nothing particular. She was totally blank, she wasn't thinking anything either.

Finn was used to staying silent but not with Rose so he felt weird looking at her lost in her own world. He spoke when Rose's stomach growled and she blushed in embarrassment apologizing to him.

"Dinner?" Without waiting for her response, he took a U-turn to go to the Italian restaurant that was nearby.

Her lips opened to say 'it's alright' but closed without uttering. She really didn't want to entangle with Finn.

At the end of the silent dinner, Finn reminded her, "You don't have to come to the party."

That's when she remembered she had agreed to attend a party with him as a female accompanist. She didn't like to go so she nodded. Finn finally asked, looking at her weird behavior the whole day, "What's wrong with you? Either you are answering in a word or two else nod or shaking your head."

Rose stiffened hearing his cold tone and uttered in fluster, "I... I don't know what to talk about."

Finn felt irritated and wanted to get rid of her soon so he stood up without caring that she hadn't finished her dinner and walked out. He wasn't a babysitter to comfort her every single time he meets, he felt his head throb to even think about her.

Rose followed him quickly, dropping the spoon and fork. Finn sped on the road and dropped her in front of her apartment speaking no word. Rose could feel he was behaving the same as he would be with others so she didn't bother to say a word.

She alighted the car and was about to thank him, he drove away without a word or glance at her. She knew Finn treated her better in the past due to Aria but now she felt like Finn won't meet her again, even if he does, she was sure he wouldn't treat her the same.

It was the weekend, everything was calm and peaceful. Being lazy to drive to the villa, Alan had taken the route to Cooper mansion to rest and wait for Vince Fang who was in the capital with his girlfriend to meet the latter's mother.

Aria was lethargic to leave the bed hence Alan asked the housekeeper to arrange breakfast in the room. After eating, Aria continued to snuggle in his arms talking about random things or teasing each other.

Busy in their own world they had forgotten to check their mobiles which were in silent mode. Alan was cuddling his wife when they heard a loud cry from outside.

Aria kissed his cheek before going to the door to check. Eva was searching Aria and threw herself on her as soon as she came into her vision. Eva burst into tears without saying anything confusing hell out of Aria. Isaac had followed Eva's car hence he reached them too.

Aria took them inside the room where Alan was leaning on the headrest of the bed looking at the couple in detest. He really wanted to ask whether he has a right to spend the weekend with his wife without sharing her with anybody else.

While Isaac announced to Alan, Eva broke the news to Aria while sobbing hard. "I'm... I'm pregnant for nearly 4 weeks already."
