Chapter 100: He is mine

Aria glanced at Alan who had raised his brow arcing beautifully. "They admire you and adore me. So they are wholeheartedly shipping us. Don't be too proud. Go! Have fun with your hubby."

Aria pointed him towards Isaac who was talking with Amelia and both were laughing.

Once the netizens had shipped Alan and Aria saying as a perfect match which Alan had greatly liked and let them continue that thread without removing it even when the PR department asked.

Alan held back her hand when she was going towards her classmates which got everyone's attention again. Alan didn't care and asked, "Your mobile?"

Aria removed from her dress pockets and showed it seeing his concerned eyes, "Dresses also have pockets except a few."

Alan nodded and left her hand. He never allowed her to keep her mobile here and there or give it to somebody else to keep other than him while she would be with him.

Eva soon entered with her father and mother from upstairs. Most of them gasped looking at Eva. She was wearing an off-shoulder champagne A-line evening dress. Its corset had detailed design hugging her body and the plain skirt had a wide circular hem that swept the stairs. Her single line diamond necklace sparkled with her twinkling eyes and a beautiful smile.

Alan moved Isaac's chin up who was greatly surprised looking at Eva.

Isaac and Eva were kind of good friends who even planned some meals with all whenever Isaac was free. They never flirted with each other but they would flirt with Alan and Aria in front of each other and even copied each other's lines.

Isaac snapped out his daze and avoided looking at Alan thinking he might tease but the latter didn't do anything.

Eva wanted to go towards Aria and others but her father stopped her and the trio started the party.

Seeing Eva taken away towards guests, Aria, Rian, and Noah went up to her giving her a big hug brightening her smile.

Her mother and father smiled resignedly so as Rowan and Amelia. They couldn't believe how those four were still so close for so long years. They adored each one of them.

The trio soon left her to attend the guests but Noah curiously stopped Aria and Rian to overhear. The duo wasn't sure and waited for him.

Noah spoke after sometime, "See my right fourth man in a white suit, he is the youngest diplomat in foreign service. If I'm not wrong, he returned to the country to attend this party. See that man with a cold smile in a wine-colored suit, he has recently been appointed in state administrative law which I overheard..."

Noah pointed two more as he explained and came to the conclusion, "...There are many more in this party who are here to steal our Eva. Uncle Miller made it huge for engagement I think or many of his friends must have suggested it to him. I don't think Eva knows..."

Aria and Rian were in complete shock. The former spoke, "If Eva knows, she never would attend the party." Because she wanted a love marriage unless she couldn't find one at all.

They were so young and they couldn't understand what was going on in elders' heads.

The trio stayed together watching them and realized soon that the guest's family they were meeting had a good looking man if they were talking long. After some time they saw Eva's change in expression and within a minute she silently argued with her mother before forcing a smile for the guest.

Aria, Noah, and Rian knew they shouldn't interfere in family private matters so didn't poke in. When they finished greeting all, seeing Eva's fallen face, Aria brought Eva towards Isaac, Rian, and Noah.

She copied how her father did, "Hello Mr.Ross, she is my best friend Eva Miller. Eva, he is Isaac Ross. You may know about the entertainment industry, he has been working there for the past four years and gained a pretty good name for himself with lots of die-hard fans..."

Rian and Noah instantly understood what Aria was up to. Eva pouted knowing Aria already got to know what happened with her. Isaac was hell confused.

Then Aria's hand moved to Rian, "Eva, you must have heard about the artist Rian Morgan. It's him. He is a great rising, blooming artist. He is getting pre-order requests and he is that popular."

Seeing glaring Eva, Aria continued, "He... He is mine. I'm not introducing him to you."

Alan smiled, rubbing her head. The rest burst into laughter which was what Aria wanted. She stopped and pointed at Noah.

"Well! You might have heard about the 'Zoah Sports' which was opened by a teenager whose branches are in seven cities of our country. Young aspiring businessman Noah Wood. That's him."

Alan had understood what was going on so he looked at his muddled friend and internally sighed.

Eva pinched Aria's waist making her twitch, "Stop teasing me."

Aria retorted, "Hey, just because these three aren't in state administration doesn't mean they are any less than those. These are more handsome than them. Hmph."

Seeing Alan's raised brows hearing her, she punched him, "But mine stands top." which was true.

"What's with your PDA?" Rian rolled his eyes as others laughed, lightening Eva's mood but one who understood after Aria spoke had forced a smile looking at Eva.

Isaac liked to talk and chat with Eva but he had yet to feel the urge to take a step ahead. He didn't understand why he felt bitter knowing her family was arranging a man in state administration.

Eva treated him as a friend but she wasn't as comfortable as she was with Noah or Rian. She couldn't understand why she would blush or feel embarrassed whenever they spoke about kisses, dating, or such things around him.

Aria and Alan wanted them to get to know each other which they did and didn't do anything later. Seeing them in the same state, Aria had given up thinking they didn't like each other.

Alan wasn't one to poke his nose too much but he thought he should have a talk with Isaac over a drink.
