Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 554: The winner

On the other end, Ivan's reaction was enough to tell Arna that Arsh likes Noor and the dumb girl has no idea about it.

She squealed in excitement, "Ivan, Brother…" Ivan had to press his hands on her lips, "Shhh…"

Placing the coffee and snack paper bag on the car, he quickly informed her, "That lady is a social media influencer. Could you please control yourself and behave? Your brother will throw us off the cliff."

He couldn't believe the one who wanted her brother to date Naira was so excited to know Arsh actually likes the other one. 

Thrilled, Arna needed time to calm her nerves so as soon as he lowered his hands, she tossed on him and squealed, "I am so happy." 

Ivan had to balance himself and rubbed her back to get her off from his embrace soon before they two made it to the headlines.

"Ms. Morgan, you were the reason we are here today, just to show the person you were supporting." Ivan reminded her.

Arna felt wronged as she stood back and faced him, "That time I didn't know brother actually likes Noor. Naira said Noor is seducing my brother." She was blunt with Ivan unlike how she had composed her words while talking with Arsh.

'Seduce?' Ivan glanced at Noor who was raised to be a naive little girl by her parents and Arsh spoiled her to be a naive one.

Sipping his coffee, "Snow, it should be the other way around." Brushing his gaze on Arsh's line of sight, "We should pity Noor instead." 

Arna checked his line of sight as she commented, "Why are you making it sound like my brother will eat her alive?" She meant to say Ivan sounded like her brother is a predator and Noor is a lost deer in the woods.

Ivan chuckled hearing her, "Certainly. He's definitely that type."

Arna: "..." She really didn't mean it that way and looking at the couple she couldn't agree more with Ivan's words especially looking at Noor being so soft and sweet.

Looking at Arsh's attentiveness to Noor, she realized she missed the details and was literally away from home that Arsh never shared it with her.

Overcoming the feeling of left out, she smiled, happy for her brother, for having somebody he could like and love to the heart's content.

Turning back to face Ivan, she smirked sexily almost making Ivan choke on his drink, "Mr. Ross, then you should be careful of Ms. Morgan." 

Ivan gulped the coffee sip and merely raised his brows even though he knew she wasn't going to be any sweet but bold and shameless.

Arna narrowed her eyes and flipped her hair, "I am going to eat you up one day." Then she cooly grabbed her aromatic tea and sipped.

Ivan: "..."

He would really love to see, 'We will see that.' but he didn't. Arna was too smart to read the unsaid words.

The coffee brought for Naira was getting cold and it had passed fifteen minutes to four but other than Noor none were worried about Naira.

Arsh had to calm her down seeing her peek at the road repeatedly.

Naira, who wasn't getting a taxi, finally reached them, completely tired and sweaty, unused to being outside in the hot if not shooting.

The first to run up to Naira was Noor, the latter opened the door of the taxi and held Naira as she asked in concern, "Sister Naira, are you alright?"

Arsh and Ivan who had expected Arna to run up to her friend didn't move from Ivan's side and watched the two sisters as a third person instead of like a friend of Naira.

Arna didn't like how Naira had lied to get the work and how she lied to her maligning her own younger sister.

Now looking at Noor worried about Naira, Noor helping a person instead of focusing on the task completely changed her opinion of Noor.josei

In the past, she just greeted Noor as the sister of her best friend, now she saw her as one who could become a part of the family that she left.

Unaware, everything felt like it fit well when it's Noor, she was close to each one of the Morgan family members except her. Whereas Naira seldom avoided everyone in the family due to her guilt.

Naira smugly looked at Noor without knowing the eyes of the three were weighing her as a person instead of looking at her as a friend.

Naira paid for the taxi and added haughtily, "Keep the change." It looked like she was generous to the driver but it didn't change the hearts of the other three.

Noor held Naira's hand as the latter walked on her heels, "Sister Naira, you are tired, would you sit in the car and relax?" She was worried and her tone sounded the same.

However, she ignored the question, she was indeed tired of standing all day long and singing repeatedly. She asked Noor, "How much did you bring back?"

Noor promptly responded, "500 bucks."

A triumph smile appeared on her face. She also smiled at Arna who faintly smiled back, As she was still thinking the highest earner is the winner.

She quickly shrugged Noor's hand to avoid looking weak in front of Arsh who didn't bother seeing her in the face even once.

She pulled big notes and stretched her hand at Arsh. She sounded unsatisfied while saying, "I could only earn 2000 bucks. If I had little more time, I could have earned a little more."

Ivan rolled his eyes, 'More like conned the manager.' They all know she lied as she is a participant in a reality show and the manager didn't want to show himself meager when the show airs so he had provided her lunch.

Let's say, one day she really loses her celebrity state and the Wood family wealth, will she still be able to con people every day?

The main reason behind the task was one to get adjusted if they have nothing one day. So her ways did offend Ivan and Arsh but they were just being polite without saying it on her face.

Naira continued shyly, "I am sorry Noor, I didn't mean to make you lose."
