74 Dreamlike (1/2)
Solving everything one by one, he was exhausted and slept in the office late in the night hoping to get little rest but his girlfriend didn't let him breathe either. She cried stating he wasn't giving her time, he never calls her until he does and so on.
He had repeatedly said he is tired and needed rest without knowing her outburst of psychological pressure was just acting. Mia didn't let him off, she dragged him to watch a movie, to have lunch with her friends just to boost she was going to be Mrs. Harmon then forced him on a long drive. He thought they would return after some distance but Mia took him to Mount Cornet park.
While she kept on blabbering, he really wanted to get freed of her and leave. He tried to shrug her off from hugging his arm but she held tighter giving him a headache.
Upon all that, she wasn't trying to hide her identity from fans or the public purposely letting all her fans know she is out with him so that pictures of them could go viral all over the internet from the afternoon.
Her main purpose was to show how lovely they looked, increase her publicity using the Harmon family and Aeon Harmon, and to show the world they have no problem in the relationship.
Mia was the first one to identify Aaron Rivas while passing by, ”Aeon, Isn't he President Rivas? I have only seen him once, I am not sure...” The Craft family never got a chance to mingle with the Rivas family even when they tried.
The Rivas family is from scholars so the family friends of the Rivas family who are in contact belong to similar backgrounds irrespective of their wealthy status. Similarly Harmon family is purely business background with the wickedness and immoral activities, their connections were the same, the Craft family belonged to that second category.
Irrespective of all that, any kind of people, they couldn't help from staring at the Rivas family princes. Shawn Rivas's identity is more open and media favorite than Aaron Rivas who purposefully hid as soon as he took over the company.
Aaron didn't have time for any public appearance spending most of his time taking care of Aarvi and the company.
Aeon glanced at Aaron who was pulling the string to control the kite and was peeking at the girl's face who was in his embrace, ”Yes!” He didn't care about the girl in Aaron's arms and he also failed to identify her.
But her black dress surely reminded him of President Evan's calm and serene face and unknowingly his mood relaxed instead of getting agitated.
Mia pulled his arm in excitement as she suggested, ”Let's talk to him.”
Mia's voice turned hostile hearing him turndown her advice, ”This is the reason why you are struggling all your life. Learn to make contacts, socialize, do favors, get support. Aeon, when are you going to learn?”
”Mia, we are not meeting him. Let's leave, I am tired.” Aeon turned to leave having no mood to argue with her but Mia dropped his hand and stomped angrily.
Before Aeon could stop her, she trotted towards Aaron even after seeing him intimately standing with a girl. Any person who has sense would drop the thought of meeting them but Mia boldly went ahead.
She was just 10 feet away when a man in a black suit blocked her and sternly said, ”Miss, please go that way.” He wouldn't have stopped her if Aaron hadn't cued with his finger.
Mia haughtily said with her chin high up boosting as though she knows Aaron and she isn't a common girl, ”I want to meet President Rivas, move aside.”
The bodyguard understood she identified Aaron but he didn't budge, ”President Rivas doesn't meet just anybody. Please leave, don't make it hard on yourself.”
Mia gritted her teeth for adding her to 'nobody' but she didn't want to give up so easily. She was about to call Aaron loudly, Aeon covered her lips and dragged her aside for quite a distance ignoring her continuous retaliation. Aeon firmly warned her leaving her aside, ”For god sake, can't you understand simple language? Don't make a scene here. I am leaving, if you don't want to come, stay here.”
