"Okay I will get you a VIP ticket for him." Kay said when Arya just shook her head as an answer.

She never thought of inviting him at all. She might feel pressure and conscious knowing he was watching and one of the main reasons was she did not want to drag him on a gossip or scandal just because of her.

"Hey what is wrong? What's with your long face, sighing and the phone checking?" Kay asked out of curiosity when he noticed Arya kept on looking on her mobile phone every now and then.

"Nothing, it's just that I'm thinking if we will be able to see each other today but I guess not." Arya answered on a cheerless tone. The last call she received from Ryu was this morning. He reminded her not to forget her meals and about his whole day schedule though she already knew since she had a copy of his itinerary and important meetings. So most probably they won't see each other today.

Kay frowned and said, "Hey, I told you to guard your heart. You must not let yourself fall for him. That's too shattering."

"Don't worry; I do like him but it's not yet love okay so there's a big difference." Arya defended herself. She understood Kay because she herself knew that falling for him will just complicate things.

"I just want to make sure you will not be the one to get hurt in the end." Kay commented as he sighed deeply.

He also doesn't want Arya to be in this kind of situation. However, this was better than selling her body out like what others probably will do if they face a trial like hers during this time. This was the harsh reality because he himself had witnessed and even knew people who do that, having a connection even to married rich tyc.o.o.ns or sugar daddies for easy money.

Rita already had girls lined up in place of Arya after she disappeared. Meaning, the plan was to make Ryu fall for every girl they will hire and do the same ditching all over again. Actually, he already had a hunch that whoever it was, the motive was to make sure Ryu realized how it feels to lose someone he desperately love, how does it feels to be heartbroken all over again.

The question was, who the h.e.l.l was that childish person who wanted to do something like this to the extent of throwing a lot of money and efforts to bargain.

There are those who will use their beauty and body at that advantage and some even end up tragically like being physically abused or killed. He doesn't want Arya to end up like that because of her desperation to help her family.

Making Ryu fall in love with her, hurting him and leaving him in the end was not that bad since some relations.h.i.+ps do end the same way anyways.

Ryu on the other hand was quite busy the whole day being the very important guest speaker on the conference. It took him whole day so there's no chance to see Arya before nighttime. In the evening, he even had a hard time to escape those important business a.s.sociates so he ended up drinking with them.

On his way back to the hotel, he was kind of tipsy already. He got his phone to call Arya and check her out. Her mobile number just keeps on ringing on the other line. 'Is she already asleep?' He thought frowning as he ma.s.saged his temples. His head was spinning because he received a lot of shots unconsciously. He missed Arya and his day was seemed incomplete if he wasn't able to see her.

Meanwhile, Arya slept early because she was quite tired of the rehearsals which took long and exhausting than the usual as they had to repeat it for several times because of uncooperative models who showed bad att.i.tudes the entire practice.

She was on her deep sleep when she was awakened by the continuous belling of her door. "What the heck, who would bother me at this late hour!" Arya jeered.

She stood up quickly still with sleepy eyes, her face was so reddened because of annoyance. The one thing she hated the most was being disturbed when she was on a deep sleep.

She opened the door and was ready to scold the person who interrupted her. She was taken aback seeing who it was and said, "Ryu? Why are you here?"

Arya looked at the wall clock at her back and it's already midnight.

Ryu smiled at her with his narrowed cute eyes and said, "I told you to peep on the hole first before opening the door. Why are you so stubborn?"

"Are you drunk?" Arya asked as she frowned because she can smell the alcohol from him combined with his manly scent.

Ryu just blinked his one eye and said, "Yeah I had too many shots. I missed you already. I will go inside. I won't bite I promised."

Arya frowned as she was hesitating and reabsorbing his words. Ryu noticed it so without waiting for her response he quickly went inside her room and closed the door.

Ryu hugged her tight and whispered to her ear, "I will sleep here tonight. I missed you the whole day so I plan to consume that eight hours wasted to stay here with you tonight."
