Aria complained, "I would like to attend the wedding Vice President Levi, lunch isn't enough. Don't be a miser."
Chelsea responded instead of Levi, "President Cooper, it's me. Why waste money? I wanted a penthouse so we spent all our money on it." Then she triumphantly smiled at Levi who ignored her gaze.
Aria shifted her gaze to Finn, "Your wedding. A fairy tale wedding would be awesome. Rose loves Disney princess style."
Finn glanced at nonchalant Alan who was cutting steak for his wife, "President Cooper, we will decide that."
Aria's question changed quickly, "Are you guys really going to get married? Wow, 25 days! Wait, I can ask Eva to write your love story for you guys as a memory."
She was grabbing her mobile but Alan took it away handing her fork, "Eat..."
Finn chuckled and said the same, "Eat eat..." He didn't complete, 'There is no love story yet to write.'
Since the duo works in different companies and their schedules are packed to spend time with each other, they found themselves a cozy apartment between Skyline and Starlight for the time being. He still likes to live in his villa that is far from Skyline but adapted for her.
Aria went to the washroom when Rose and Chelsea chatted outside. As soon as she stepped out, "President Cooper, are you guys planning for another twin?"
Aria chuckled hearing excited Rose and asked back, "Why does it sound like you and your boyfriend want to steal my babies?"
Chelsea answered, "Actually I planned to kidnap Snow but Levi smacked my head. He wants Nemo."
Aria: "..."
Rose was chuckling looking at Aria freeze in wonderstruck for a few seconds, "You two better stay away from my little babies."
Chelsea grinned before revealing, "Levi is already 32 so I am planning to go for a baby soon. We can romance later anyway."
Aria quickly dried her hands and stated, "If your baby grows up like Levi, I want him to be Nemo's friend."
Chelsea pointed her finger at Aria but shrugged and stormed out faking her sobs, "Nobody wants me. Sob, sob..."
Chuckling, both women followed her. In the age hierarchy, Chelsea was older than everyone and younger than Levi out there but she was cheery and outgoing hence they don't feel her like an elder at all.
"So how are you?"
Rose smiled hearing Aria, she knew what she was trying to ask, "Finn really isn't as the world says."
Aria cued her to go on, really enticed to hear good about Finn but, "But he is bossy."
Aria laughed hearing it and added, "Men like to be bossy. Alan too... So nothing to be worried about. Just learn to step towards him too, don't just wait for him to reach you."
Rose instantly lost in past events, she realized she just agreed to him but never took the initiative to do anything on her own except trying to help with house chores or his office work.
Aria had casually said so she had no idea she guessed right on point about Rose. They entered the private room and heard Chelsea whinging to Levi that Aria doesn't want a baby girl like her for Snow.
Smug Levi: "You think others will tolerate your little version other than me."
Hyperactive Chelsea: "..."
Finn, Rose, and Aria spellbound looking at Levi, 'This man has this side too.'
Love and affection undoubtedly bring out the sides; probably they didn't know themselves.

After work, Rose waved at Aria who hopped to her husband's car before she snuck inside Finn's car. "Finn, let's shift to your villa."
Finn was slightly surprised but turned down, "My villa is far from your office."
Rose shook her head, "You don't have to drop me, that takes a long route so I will pick and drop you." She really liked the concept of picking him after work, 'Why should boyfriends always have to pick up their girlfriends?'
Finn tried to turn down but the stubborn Rose won this time and she knew well, he likes privacy and doesn't like bumping into anybody in the apartments.
After taking necessity, Finn ordered his men to pack and send before they routed to his villa. The apartment they lived in didn't have a swimming pool nor a gym, so Finn had to visit outside which avoided.
"I will cook," Rose said, seeing him push her luggage towards the guest room.
"Vegetables and meat aren't there." Finn said glancing back but Rose showed him bags which she had bought from the condo, "We can manage for tonight."
Finn flashed a faint smile before going ahead without telling, his father already arranged to deliver fresh vegetables and meat to his villa.
Finn's complete routine changed unlike how he used to ignore in the past, food on time, resting, and office time without working extra at the company just so that she won't be waiting for him.
To be fact, he initially felt restricted and obliged, almost annoying him making him feel like a puppet who has to follow a timetable.
Then he forced him to be normal as he used to but thought of Rose would be enough to stop his work and go to her having no heart to make her wait. He took time to understand he has to be a friend now and wait until the things fall in place.
He got fresh before going for dinner, "Do you have work to complete now?" Rose asked.
Finn gave a little thought, "No urgent one, why?"
"Let's watch a movie," Rose demanded but cheerfully.
Finn smirked, "Seems like your President corrupted your brain as soon as she came."
Rose pouted for the tease, "I always thought I should wait for you. But how can you reach me without my efforts? So I planned a list of things to do whenever we are free."
Finn didn't know why wanted to smile at that, "Is this school work to follow it?"
Unexpected to his thought, Rose hummed, "Let's think like that, at least we will know whether we will get along and look forward to spending time together or forcing ourselves into it." Then she said fidgeting, "If you find it boring, we don't need to do it."
Finn rested his head on knuckles watching her, "Can I choose the activities too?"
Rose vigorously nodded, it meant that he looked forward to it and had things he wanted to do too. "Saturday, we will go on a date. I will take you somewhere."
Rose smiled brightly nodding her head repeatedly, "Alright, I will look forward to it." Grabbing bowls, "I will wash the bowls."
However, Finn flicked on her backhand, "Get fresh by the time I finish cleaning and arrange a movie in the theater room."
Rose was energized yet again hearing he was going to watch a movie with her. He chuckled looking at her sprinting to the guest room to be on time.
Finn assumed she would like an emotional love story but both dozed off on the couch before the end of it.
In the middle of the night, he jerked up to see her reach him for a pillow in the sleep curling herself due to the cold. Leaving her in the guest room, he too rested in his room.
Similarly, daily they started picking one to do, watching the sunset, playing fun little board games and squabble like children, competing on video games, gym workout together, jogging in the morning, stargazing in the night, and so on.
Finn had really thought he would be bored but found himself enjoying their little non-tiring activities and he would sit and laugh hearing her or making herself a little fool.
But there was obviously a line between them that both weren't crossing. They were more like flatmates than a couple.

On Friday evening, Rose was confused about where he was going to take her with luggage for two days sitting on an international flight.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
Finn teased, "I am going to sell you off to a human trafficker."
Rose: "..."
