Chapter 165: Fake fight

Aria had planned out everything for the date. As soon as she had got home, she had made the bookings with Ronnie's help. Though she did not know much, it did not matter as Ronnie gave her a lot of suggestions. It was as though the duo had suddenly become close to each other like brother and sister planning mischievous things in secret. 

When Noah had finished his meeting, he saw Ronnie texting and smiling. He found it to be weird as he had never seen him like this before. The naughty grin on his face reminded him of a prankster who was planning a disaster in secret. But he did not give a second thought. Only if he had known that his personal guard was texting his girlfriend then he would have lost it for sure.

It was Ronnie who had told Aria to converse by texting. He knew how his boss was. Noah was a ticking time bomb that would explode as though it had its own mind. On Aria's instructions, Ronnie had made all the arrangements. 

Meanwhile, Noah had to go meet a client at a hotel which was quite far from the place Aria had set her venue for the date. Ronnie scratched his head in confusion. How was he going to tell his boss now? The meeting was at four and the traveling time took one hour for one way. So, he was not sure how to stop his boss.

"Boss, can't we postpone today's meeting?" He asking trying to look courageous in front of Noah. His words were enough for Noah to snap his head towards him and raise his eyebrows. Ronnie had never questioned him anything regarding his work. This was the first time and he was surprised. Why was he behaving this way? Was something wrong with him?

"Ronnie, what's the matter?"

"Nothing boss. It's just that I feel a little sick."

"Is it? Then let's go to the hospital?" Noah got up from his chair immediately and took his coat and walked forward.

"No, no. Boss, it's just a mild headache. I am feeling a little sleepy that's it."

"Is it? Go take rest in my private lounge. I'll go with Shane."

"But boss..."

"Ronnie go." Noah gave him one look which made him shut up and he immediately went to the lounge. He paced back and forth inside trying to come up with an idea to stop his boss from leaving the office. He had to do something or else his boss would slip away from his hands. If that happened, his madam would get angry. Any which way, somebody among the couple was bound to get angry and he preferred it to be Noah.

After seeing Aria's surprise he would surely forgive him. But if she got angry, then it was fixed that Noah would get angry too and finally he would be the one to suffer. "Madam, please save me this time. I am putting all my trust in you."

Ronnie then called Shane to cancel today's meeting at all costs.

"Why do you want to cancel the meeting? Did boss tell you to call me?" Shane asked him skeptically.

"No."

"Then?"

"Shane, listen to me carefully. Madam has arranged a surprise for our boss today and she wants him at the venue by eight. But the place of her surprise and venue where the meeting is is very far and it takes two hours just by traveling. Did you understand?"

Shane understood what Ronnie wanted to convey and he also realized whom he was addressing as Madam. The only person who his boss was getting close to in the recent weeks was the lady doctor. So, it had to be her. Now that she had planned something for his boss, how could he sabotage it?

Moreover, the meeting they had today was not that important. The client had been calling them for long for a meeting but it was Noah who had been stalling it. Finally, he had agreed to it when he noticed that the man would not stop pestering him until he met him. Also, the man had something important which Noah needed. It was a small piece of land right beside his hotel which would be inaugurated in a few days. Noah wanted that land at all costs. So, he had agreed for a meeting with the man.

After canceling the meeting, Shane entered the room to inform the same to Noah. "Boss, your meeting with Mr. Reeves has been canceled."

"Is it? Okay."

By three everything was set. Ronnie had also texted her that the coast was clear and she could proceed with the second step. Aria smiled and immediately called Noah.

"Hey, you missed me already?" Noah asked. He was exhilarated on seeing her call.

"Noah, I have something to ask you," Aria answered her voice a little stiff and angry, which he noticed.

"What happened sweetheart? Is everything alright?" He asked a little scared with the way she was behaving.

"Don't sweetheart me. I just found a photo of yours on the internet with another woman. Who is she?" 

Noah panicked immediately on hearing her complain. He did not know who she was talking about. He had already told her about the number of women he had been with. He wondered why she was bringing the topic right now. Before that, he had other things to worry about. He had to coax her first.

"Aria, I know nothing you are talking about it. I have already told you about my past and...." Noah tried to speak, but he was interrupted midway.

"Noah, I don't want to talk to you. I am very angry right now and I don't even want to see your face. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Aria hung up the call without waiting for his response. She then smiled to herself. "I am sorry Noah. This is just to surprise. I hope you will not be angry and even if you are, I'll do everything to pacify you. This is just a fake fight to surprise you." Aria still had four hours to spare. So, she thought of taking a nap and set her alarm for 6.30. Half an hour would be enough for her to get ready.

Meanwhile, Noah was worked up. He was truly scared that Aria was angry with him. So, he tried calling her but nobody picked it up. He tried many times, but ended up with the same result. He then received a message from her.

'Noah, I don't want to talk to you right now. So, don't keep calling me. Also, don't you dare come to my house today. I don't want to see your face and if you do, I am never going to see your face again.'

Noah smashed his phone in anger. He had no idea why Aria was behaving unreasonably. He had already come clean in front of her regarding his past flings and she had also told him that it did not matter to her. So, why was she kicking up a fuss about it now?

Noah sat down and swept all the things on his table in one motion. His anger was at the peak. Ronnie heard the commotion from his room and he ran out immediately. He realized that the plan had worked and Noah was irked.

"Boss, what happened?"

"Nothing. Get out."
