BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 Completely Smitten By Her
Aiden and Cherry just finished their lunch when Butler Ezekiel announced Nathan\'s arrival. Nathan and Axel already settled down on the living room\'s couch.
"Master, Axel and Master Nathan have arrived. They are waiting for you in the living room."
"Dang! He is too early," Aiden murmured to himself, eyeing Cherry anxiously.
\'I shouldn\'t let Cherry see my best friend. What if she falls for him at first sight!\' Aiden thought as he recalled how the women he dated always fell for Nathan\'s charm.
"Chef Solmi, serve another batch of sweet desserts for Cherry," Aiden said, calling the attention of his chef.
"Yes, Master!" Chef Solmi immediately obeyed her master\'s command.
Meanwhile, Cherry looked at him with disbelief. "Are you serious? I just finished one bowl of fruit salad and a piece of chocolate cake."
Aiden flashed his sweet and charming smile, saying, "You don\'t have to meet my guests. Just stay here and enjoy the food. You will love them. If you are done, you can also roam around the garden to burn some calories. Ezekiel can keep you company and tour you around."
Aiden didn\'t give her a chance to object as he immediately turned around and left. Aiden was so determined to talk to Nathan alone.
Cherry could only shake her head while eyeing Aiden\'s retreating back helplessly.
\'Why do I feel like he is treating me as a VIP guest? Are rich guys always like this?\'
Cherry just shrugged her shoulders. She didn\'t hate the idea of having another batch of desserts. She has a sweet tooth so she is fond of eating sweets.
For a hacker like her who spent lots of her time facing her computer until dawn, it became her habit to eat sweet food to keep her going.
\'Fine. I will finish the next batch of food before taking a peek at the living room. I\'m curious about the guest who dropped by.\' Cherry made a mental note.
*****
In the living room, Aiden greeted Nathan enthusiastically, hugging him. Nathan just extended his right hand to stop Aiden from getting close to him. Axel could only smile watching the interactions of the two best friends.
"Boss, I will just wait in the car," Axel said goodbye to them, giving them privacy to talk.
Nathan just nodded his head, permitting Axel to leave.
"See you around, Axel!" Aiden waved his hand at Nathan\'s assistant.
Axel just waved back at Aiden, smiling broadly. Aiden was very friendly and approachable so he felt comfortable in his presence. Aiden was treating him as his buddy as well, instead of being Nathan\'s assistant.
"So why did you come here? You can even talk to me via phone call. I\'m surprised that you visited me here of your own accord." Aiden raised his eyebrow, nudging Nathan\'s shoulder.
"Why do I feel like you didn\'t want me here? Was it because of the woman you brought last night?" Nathan spat back at him.
Cough! Cough!
Aideen choked on his saliva after hearing Nathan\'s words. He was so transparent that Nathan could see through him. It would be hard for Aiden to hide a secret or lie to Nathan.
"Hey, of course not. C\'mon. Tell me what you want to know," Aiden chuckled, hiding his embarrassment. Nathan just figured out his feelings.
"Who is that woman? Do you even know that the Red Dragon Mafia was after her?"
"Yeah! You just told me a while ago," Aiden nonchalantly said.
Nathan rolled his eyes skyward. His friend didn\'t understand the severity of this situation. What if this woman he brought in his house was a dangerous person? She might even offend the Red Dragon Mafia that\'s why she was being chased by them.
As if he read Nathan\'s mind, Aiden spoke up to defend Cherry. "Dude, she is harmless. Don\'t overthink, okay? Red Dragon Mafia is into human trafficking. They want to sell her on the black market. Seeing her, I can tell that the Red Dragon Mafia is after big bucks! They can sell her and earn a lot of money! So it\'s natural that they are chasing after her."
"If I am their client, I won\'t hesitate to pay a billion just to get her!" Aiden added, making Nathan frown deeply. His friend was acting as King of Simp once again.
"Harmless? Are you sure about that? Last night, you sounded like a frightened puppy who was taken as a hostage by a bad guy. So I was wronged. You let this woman hijack your car and be her hostage… voluntarily." Nathan gave him a ridiculing look, eyeing him with disbelief.
Aiden just smiled foolishly as he bobbed his head. He was completely smitten by her charms, smiling sillily whenever he would recall the beautiful sight of a water nymph under the shower whom he rescued last night.
Aiden had already forgotten the scary feeling of being pointed at by a sharp object near his neck. She almost stabbed him to death if he didn\'t cooperate. But here he was still swooning and fangirling over her.
Nathan grabbed his chin and pinched his jaw, making him stop grinning. "Stop smiling like that! You are creeping me out, Aiden Wu!"
"Ouch! Let go!" Aiden hit Nathan\'s hand. "You are hurting my handsome face!" Aiden complained, pouting his lips when Nathan released his jaw.
"I have warned you," Nathan mumbled.
"I know!" Aiden promptly responded, rubbing his jaw.
"I\'ll not intervene if you get in trouble again because of her." Nathan threatened him.
"I can manage!" Aiden declared confidently.
"Fine," Nathan replied briefly.
"Fine too! Is there anything more you want to say? Stop scaring me okay? It won\'t work." Aiden sucked his teeth while glaring at Nathan.
"Yes. I still have something to say."
"Then what?"
"I will go on a date with Abigail." Nathan declared.
"Okay," Aiden said unknowingly. Then he raised his head and glanced at Nathan\'s face unblinkingly when he absorbed his last words. Did I hear it right?
"What did you just say?" Aiden asked him again, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. Did he just imagine it?
Nathan scowled at Aiden. He wouldn\'t repeat his words. "You heard me already. I\'m not gonna say it twice…"
Aiden: 0_0
\'Eh? Is this for real? Nathan finally agreed to date Abigail?! Is this the reason why he came to my house personally, instead of talking to me over the phone?\'
