Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 373: A lady of hundred lies.

-- In City B --

Zara had called Noah to take the interview of Ceon who took it seriously and exceptionally. She really wanted to ask are you an interview candidate for my position or my assistant position?

Ceon was sipping coffee in the employee cafeteria when Noah joined him, "You really are serious about both the job and my sister."

Ceon who had met Noah for a few times already knew he was a sweetheart unless you behave well and also understood why others three call him Cutie and Sweetie. "Hiring?"

Noah hummed and sipped his coffee, "I'm appointing a trainee too so if you guys really could make it, the trainee could take care later."

Ceon glanced at him and remained silent. He had no plans to advance in their so-called employee relationship. He wanted nature to take his course because Zara didn't like it when he had visited her the previous day, so working with her, he wants to know her preferences well.

Noah left after a few words and Ceon too bid Zara and left to wait for the formal mail from the company.

Zara could say he was sincere but her fear over chased other thoughts but she still accepted him working under her to see how it goes. She also made it clear to Noah if she isn't comfortable working with him, she will terminate his job.

...

Ceon reported her next day. He had already spoken to her previous assistant who informed him about the requirements that were needed and compulsory.

Before her word, her coffee was on the table, he reported her day's schedule promptly and also took care of meeting notes. Any work, before Zara could speak he was keeping those ready which was leaving Zara with a lot of free time.

Both were having lunch together and even shared the evening snacks before departing. Ceon wasn't disappointed even if they talked about work. He was glad she was speaking without any barrier. Zara was comfortable with Ceon who didn't cross his line or try to get close to her.

Their Friday was calm and relaxed too irrespective of workload.

On Saturday

Aria was back in city B and was running around checking the arrangements when the internet, social media exploded with the news about her. It started off with 'Aria used Morgan family.' it was about how the Morgan family took care of her and company and how she left them as soon as she returned.

Then it was about 'Skedaddle Bride' who ran away from her wedding without a proper reason, then she attacked Morgan Industries and shamelessly tried to ruin reporters' image.

'President Cooper, a lady of hundred lies.' To clean her image, she lied in front of the International channel so that ALIA shouldn't face a setback and her celebrity image to be kept safe.

Aria also heard Luke getting calls from his customers to reject the orders. She knew when the public would get to know about her marriage, she could settle her things but she didn't want to damage Aida's fame and professionalism.

"Luke, we have an hour, I will get a model for you. I might have to check if the dress fits her. I'm sorry, I didn't expect these all to happen at the neck of the movement." Aria said and sighed.

Luke glanced at Alan who was instructing on his phone at a distance. He couldn't understand why they can't just reveal their marriage even though he guessed they might be facing some problems.

"I have blacklisted the ones who canceled the orders and Alia, you are going on stage. I'm not going to hear no again. Go and get ready."

The least she wanted was others to face troubles because of her. "But Luke..."

"I have no problem, what are you scared of? Are you looking down on my designs now?"

Aria: "..."

She knows he was stubborn but in business, it was all about profits. "Bear the convinces for yourself." She left for the green room.

Luke went to Alan who was trying to control the spreading of the news but it was unstoppable by both the companies. "President Morgan, how long are you planning to let Alia suffer the blames of nonsense?"

Alan's face was cold glancing at him. If she had followed his plan she would be the victim but not him. Whenever he tried to change, she never allowed it to happen. More than others, only he knew how he felt to see her getting slandered and still smile looking at him.

"Soon." He left towards the green room after it. He was trying to identify who was against this series of posts going against Aria. If it was Terence Morse, he wouldn't stop until he regrets his own actions.

Luke can't understand what Aria liked in Alan who never talks more than a few words. Knowing she was happy with her life, he let go of his worry and did a double check on his models who were wearing his designs.

Instead of Alan, Aria calmed her husband, Amelia, and Rowan. She got ready in the princess styled elegant gown with the beautiful crown. Levi and Nathan who got the news returned to report them but saw over-excited Aria in a bridal gown.

"I love this gown. Why didn't we shoot in this gown that day?"

Makeup artists and helpers chuckled looking at her twirling and checking her out again and again in the mirror.

"Dummy!" Alan didn't know what else to say. "You are an elegant and refined bride today. If you go like this, somebody might try to kidnap you."

Nathan: 'President Morgan, you can directly say to young Madam President that she shouldn't be so cute and candid."

Aria pouted and saw Luke coming to check on her, "Hey, why are you looking good? I want my design to shine."

Aria shrugged, "Who told you to be such a good designer?... Whoever canceled your designs are going to cry their eyes out." Luke rolled his eyes and left because he was tired of hearing her compliment him for his designs. 

Levi and Nathan reported, "It's from the socialites who you had sent to the police station for throwing coffee on Kite Parker."josei

Aria sighed hearing them. She didn't think those girls didn't have the brain but went on slandering her. "How about releasing each one of their hidden secrets? Those little fools should get to know we did this." She hummed in determination and said, "Instruct our team and enjoy the show."

Nathan saw Alan's nod so he and Levi bowed their head and went out. Rose who had checked on the models wearing Alia's design and ran inside and saying, "President Cooper, Giving a sexy look to floral design is mindblow~..." She cringed when Alan turned towards her and whispered the rest to Aria, "... mind-blowing... And you look like a real goddess."

Aria chuckled, pinching her pink cheeks. She couldn't stop Rose from getting scared of Alan.

...

The show started with Aria's designs. Aria watched from her room and noticed the audience concentrating more on the mobile than on designs. 

In less than a minute, Levi reached and reported, "There are lots of people protesting outside saying you shouldn't wear wedding gowns and you are a disgrace to brides. All are trashing your youth icon image and the picture of President Morgan carrying you out of the hotel is viral." 

Instead of understanding, Alan was her husband, netizens were commenting as she was playing with men's lives.

Aria's face fell hearing that. She didn't want to ruin Aida's image at any cost.
