155 Being A Woman

"Have you miss me?" Aria asked him and she continued talking until they reach the exit door.

Aria said she was traveling in the US and had a stop in Asia before she'll go home to the UAE with Shaheen soon. She just used to take the commercial planes whenever she goes and that makes her an easy-going Princess and she was loved by many. Princess Aria is active in helping the UNICEF that is why she was known by the celebrity world.

"Let's get some lunch, am hungry. I haven't eaten any food from the plane. I heard your hotel serves nice food, I wanna try them that's why I hunger myself," Aria said with full of enthusiasm.

"Okay, I'll call the kitchen ahead." Quinn is dialing his phone when Aria pulled him while they're exiting the airport building.

"Come on, hurry!"

Quinn just followed quietly and make the call on the car. Aria still too noisy until they arrived at the hotel. He brought them to a private room and their food served right away.

Not long after, he told his company to excuse himself for important work needs his attention. Aria asked Quinn if they could have dinner together tonight but Shaheen who answered that they have an important meeting in the evening and she is not included. Aria gives her brother a long face. He and Quinn just exchange gazes. Shaheen just spoiled her anyway.

Meanwhile, at the mansion… Ca.s.sie went to the kitchen to get something, but she overheard the maids gossip. They were looking at the phone and talking about the popular news, and her ears caught when one of the maids said Shun's name, then a female named Princess Aria.

They actually like squealing and fangirling but some is not agreeing. Mrs. Fe suddenly shows up behind Ca.s.sie and also overheard the maids.

"Ahem! Mistress, why did you walk around? You should have called me if you need anything."

"It's fine, Mrs. Fe… I just need more water. Besides, am bored already. I need to stretch my legs around," she said then walk past the maids who keep their heads low and doesn't dare to look at her.

Mrs. Fe looking at the maid with a frightening gaze after the Mistress left. Ca.s.sie could hear Mrs. Fe scolding the maids and point out their wrongs.

After going back to her bedroom, Ca.s.sie was tempted to check her phone. She was fighting the urge until she chooses to read the gossip news.

She saw the pictures of Quinn with the girl named Princess Aria. One of the photos is where her arms around Quinn's neck and one is hooking around Quinn's arm. Is this why he said he will come home late tonight?

Ca.s.sie read another article and it is a photo of Quinn and the Princess entering a private room and the caption is said, 'HAVING LUNCH TOGETHER. She closes the article and put away her phone.

The rain pouring down heavily tonight… Quinn wanted this meeting to get done quick. He was worried for Ca.s.sie might she will be bothered by it again.

She already uncomfortable with the thunderstorm since a little and been worse since the accident which she witnesses everything that possible the reason she wanted to forget them.

He and Shaheen continue discussing their business partners.h.i.+p. After finalizing their agreement, they signed the doc.u.ments and sealed the deal. Quinn and Shaheen do the handshakes.

"Thank you," Quinn said.

"No, thank you. This is a good investment and I trust our partners.h.i.+p," Shaheen smiled.

On the door, Aria has been waiting for their meeting to finish. "Congratulations to the both of you! Now, can we celebrate your another partners.h.i.+p?"

The two men laugh. The Crow Corporation and the APOC already a partner but this time, this is only between Quinn and Shaheen's partners.h.i.+p.

"Am sorry, I have to excuse myself."

"Again?" Aria was disappointed for Quinn who rejecting her invitation over again.

"Come on, someone is waiting for him at home, you shouldn't bother a married man."

Aria's eyes grew bigger. "Seriously?"

"Yeah. I know he is been itchy to go home, so don't be a spoiled brat," Shaheen scolded his sister while messing with her hair.

Quinn quickly gets out of his car and runs the stairs upon arriving at his mansion. Blaire has been texting him that Ca.s.sie hasn't eaten yet. He glances at his wrist.w.a.tch and it's past 9 o'clock of the night.

He opens the door and saw her sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

"Ca.s.sandra? They said you haven't eaten yet."

Ca.s.sie ignores him. He sighed. "Are you not feeling well?"

Ca.s.sie put down the book, she stood up and walked toward the bed. Quinn was very confused when she pulls the blanket and covers herself. He doesn't know what to do now. He feels helpless about how to convince Ca.s.sie to eat some food. It's not good for her to skip a meal. They heard a knock and Blaire enter the room.

"Brother, I brought the food. Ca.s.sie, you need to eat. Brother Daichi makes your favorites," Blaire helps to convince Ca.s.sie to eat. She knew that her brother is having a hard time handling her moods lately.

She waited for the maids to put down the food trays and left the bedroom.

"And you brother, you haven't eaten since lunch. What you were thinking? Are you planning to collapse while working?" Blaire gives her brother a lecture.

"The two of you, would you eat now, please?" Blaire put her hands on her waist like she was scolding the little kids. Her tone was sounded really upset.

"Alright, calm down." Quinn stroking Blaire's back. "Thank you."

"Okay. I want to get some rest now."

"Sure. Have some sleep." Quinn planted a kiss on Blaire's forehead.

Quinn closes the bedroom door after Blaire steps out. He meets Ca.s.sie's eyes who now seated on the bed but still, she's not talking to him.

"Let's eat now," Quinn takes off her business coat and loosen his necktie. He rolls his long sleeves and began opening the food covers.

Ca.s.sie could smell the steak and the soup Daichi made for her. Her mouth is now watering to taste them. She then saw Quinn began cutting the steak for her and the food is inviting her.

She quietly sits on the sofa and picking up some fries to fill her mouth. Quinn places the plate in front of her after he made a tiny cut on the steak. Frequently, Ca.s.sie glance at Quinn who now began eating, she could tell how much he was this hungry.

Why he didn't eat some lunch? Ca.s.sie wonders but she keeps her thoughts.

She truly got jealous of the news today. But one thing she discovers, she must not believe instantly to what it said. Quinn didn't actually have a lunch date with that Princess as what the news said.

Moreover, one thing she also discovered, she is not only got jealous thinking that her long lost brother Quinn was with another woman, but she is jealous as a woman who has someone flirted at her man.

Could she actually a selfish person? She is hating him for lying but she is also feeling that she doesn't want Quinn to see or be with another woman.

However, she will never show it to Quinn that she is feeling this way.
