Chapter 217: Alan and Monroe's engagement

Aria smiled as she led her out. She asked a driver to get the Rolls Royce Phantom out. She helped Roxy inside and closed the door.

"I'll see you at the venue." She winked at Roxy to calm her. 

She purposefully chose that car which would notify the media that they shouldn't mess with Roxy and Aria was her backer.

Aria never acknowledged their relationship openly so she thought to use this time to let the world know.

Aria had decided to be the little girl of Curtis Morgan but not President Cooper so she drove her car out alone to the Skyline Industries.

Aria's studio was a villa on the terrace of Skyline Industries. Isaac had access to the elevator to take Eva straight to Alian which was set by Alan for her.

Aria was last to enter the terrace.

"Little chief, how about eloping with me? Why do you doll up prettily?"

Aria: ^_^

"No... My love, Let's get into bed. Young, pretty, and tender, I will wear you off tonight."

Aria: *_*

Aria felt like Eva was getting dirtier day by day staying with Isaac. 

Isaac was immune to Eva's level of shamelessness with Aria. He was glad she didn't use it in front of other men and only Aria knew that.

Aria went behind Isaac, "My comrade, save me from your hungry wolf."

"Hey when you know the wolf is hungry, why aren't you feeding it?" Eva ran behind Aria trying to get her.

They teased each other for sometime before entering the Alian and Aria displayed all the dresses which weren't out to market yet.

Eva was totally in love with informal trendy yet modest gowns. She saw Aria's dress was from the same collection.

She wanted all but chose one reluctantly before standing in front of Isaac.

It was a knee-length blush pink dress, It was trendy and fashionable. Isaac saw her perfectly fit into the dress giving the mischievous yet covert look to it.

Aria who noticed the change in air escaped to the living hall to give private time.

Since Eva was the writer of his new movie, they decided to go together which would also promote their movie so Aria didn't arrange another car for them.

Eva didn't want their relationship to go public so it was still under wraps.

After they were done with being affectionate, they left the Skyline Industries.

Meanwhile, at the Woods' luxurious hotel, Cameras kept shuttering onto the guests who were entering the hotel and walking down the red carpet.

If they were an important public figure they would interview else they would wait for the next guest.

Amelia and Rowan were grim knowing about the media arranged behind their back. They were also angry with Jeremy because their simple elegant celebration was buoyant that he had rearranged everything.

Rian didn't want them to fret over it, "Dad, Mom, it's already out of hands. Let it off... And Uncle Jeremy, if I see any media related people inside the hall, I will make you regret your actions."

Rian felt Jeremy was behind the media gathering so he ignored Jeremy who grunted, "Rian, is this how you give respect to elders?"

Rowan controlled himself from speaking because it was Amelia's family. Amelia coldly spoke, "Jeremy Grayson, if I know it was you who was behind these all, I will pull back the help your company is getting from Morgan Industries."

Amelia would have let it slid off but she was really pissed off from Jeremy because,

-- An hour back --

Amelia and Rowan were in the Morgan mansion getting ready for the evening. Jeremy had reached there and took Amelia for a private talk.

Amelia thought he might need help in something so both sat down in the second-floor living area.

Jeremy hesitantly started, "Amie, you know us from such a long time and you know Moon too. There are so many rumors and false accusations over social media on Alan. I was thinking I could help you clean it up."

Amelia frowned hearing that because it wasn't something they needed anybody's support or help and she couldn't understand why he took about him and Monroe with that.

"How could you help us?" Amelia's tone wasn't friendly which Jeremy didn't mind.

"How about Alan and Moon getting engaged tonight? Both studied in the same school and college. Highly educated and works in the same company..."

Amelia didn't let him continue to trying to covet her son from her little girl. She wanted to decline but she suddenly felt something amiss.

'Why would Monroe always try to follow Alan's path?'

'Why would Monroe request her help to work right under him instead of any other department?'

'Why does Jeremy detest Arrie so much?'

'Could he be behind Aria and Alan's trouble?'

With those doubts, Amelia thought to get into her role of hating Alan Morgan, "Nope. I failed to bring him up well. No need to ruin Moon's life."

She didn't want to continue the topic hence she left ignoring Jeremy trying to continue. 

Jeremy thought to talk to Rowan and Alan directly at the party and left messing Amelia's mood.

As soon as Amelia, Rowan's car entered the hotel, Amelia's little good mood ruined instantly seeing media live coverage vans and many reporters.

It was known in B city that except Rian's birthday, Morgans never liked to hold any celebration or parties grand. Morgans always liked to keep only closed ones near and arrange everything elegant and sophisticated.

Rowan immediately called the Morgan security department to triple the security.

It wasn't new for Amelia or Rowan to face the camera but they weren't in the mood to answer any questions.

The Woods' security and their security helped them to get inside. Amelia and Rowan's face was dark looking at the arrangements. 

They were celebrating Curtis and Orla's birthday. They were in the seventies but the decoration seemed like they were celebrating somebody's wedding reception.

Amelia gritted her teeth remembering Jeremy talking about engagement. So she asked Rowan's assistant to get Jeremy and the manager of the hotel to their room and went upstairs.

Amelia and Rowan's mood was lightened seeing a couple of outfits in the room which was arranged by Aria for the party.

The hotel manager courteously greeted them and answered their question before leaving.

Jeremy thought they were going to appreciate the preparation but got chided by them.

Jeremy accepted he was behind the decoration change but he didn't know about the media which was also true but he was partially responsible which he didn't know.

He had said in a flow that, 'Alan and Monroe will be engaged if everything goes well.' to his friend who was working as a manager in a media company.
