Chapter 37: Evil things behind the back
Aria sighed. "It does." She didn't want to talk about it to anybody hence she closed the door entering her room.
Alan understood she was upfront strong for others. He didn't poke about it and went to his room.
Aria wiped her cheeks and got ready to go to school.
Even if she says hundreds of words to deny, nobody would believe her. All she could do was trying to be strong for the ones who worry about her.
She couldn't understand society. If a man does double-timing and even sleeps with many, he would be called as stud and Romeo. If a girl just talks to a few boys, she would be entitled as a sl*t, wh*re, or b*tch.
With all that, she was staying with Morgans' including the fact one had to be her guardian and the other one was her childhood friend.
However, she tried to be strong, at the end of the day she was just a normal girl with a sensitive heart.
She went to the breakfast table and saw Amelia and Rowan looking at her earnestly. "Good morning Aunty, Uncle."
Both nodded. Before they could bring up, she spoke, "I was sleepy and dozed off halfway. I'm not sure if Young master continued to check or not..." Seeing their bitter smile, she spoke, "We will ask Young master now if he chose any, If not, I will help him today after school if he is free."
Alan entered to hear her last part. He was planning to tell the girl's name who had top worst remarks by his team but hearing Aria, he changed his plan.
He sat down playing dumb. Rian entered last. All started breakfast and the housekeeper informed Rian about Alan agreeing to date after Aria convinced him.
Rian grinned and high fived with his mother. "That's great news for us to party."
Amelia chuckled and nodded, "You are my true son."
Rowan and Alan had no reaction. Aria's lips twitched. "You! mother and son! Do you guys know anything other than partying and drinking?"
Rowan chuckled hearing her. Amelia and Rian didn't mind. The latter shamelessly asked Aria, "Hey matchmaker! Get me a girl too."
Aria flexed her fingers, "How about me to break your bones daily?"
Amelia, Rowan, and housekeeper burst into laughter seeing Rian's dark face. "I want a girl. Not a devil. Spare me, Ms. Aria Cooper."
Aria smiled, "Since your planning polygamy, I will spare you."
Rian got weird looks from everyone and yelled. "Little devil! I was kidding alright. Why are you whinging?" He quickly changed the topic to divert, "Little devil! Aren't you creative? Let me check it. Tell me a theme for partying on the first step of Bro's life to hell."
All chuckled hearing him. Alan gave a death glare to Rian. Aria took her own time before replying. "Theme HELL! with those red light horn on the head..."
Rian cut in, "That's cool. Continue, continue..."
Aria finished her mouthful and continued, "We can call all the evil souls to party for your brother to meet in the hell."
Alan's face was undecipherable looking at Aria. He was thinking about spending time with her and she was setting him up with girls.
Others tried to control laughing but eventually laughed hard than ever.
All maids in the mansion surprisedly looked at the dining hall leaving all their work. For unknown reasons, they all liked Aria who never ordered them around.
Later they finished the breakfast with a general talk not to provoke Young Master Morgan.
Amelia poked Aria to speak Alan. Aria nodded and asked, "Young master, Did you select anyone for meeting on Sunday?"
Alan was thinking to spend some time with her but after hearing her party plan, he thought if he says no, he would die of anger standing between annoying flies. hence went by his first plan, "I don't remember the name. I will send it to you Mom."
Aria sighed. Amelia enfolded her palms, "That's fantastic."
Alan left in his sports car first. Aria left with Rian. She asked in perplex, "Your brother is just 22, why are aunty and uncle starting all these so soon? If you guys give him some time, he may like somebody in a few years. Won't that be good?"
Rian grinned, "Ask Mom and Dad." 'If he stays single, how am I allowed to date? Hehehe'
Aria rolled her eyes at him. She had already asked. They had told her she couldn't understand the elder's worries and she was still young to understand those things.
Aria saw a loaded desk and clenched her fist. She wanted to beat every single one's face who kept those things at her place. She went near Diaz and announced, "Everyone! Quickly take whichever you like from my desk and enjoy it. Since we have time, you can read out letters and have fun. I will not mind."
All cheered as they laughed. Everyone took whatever they liked and cleared her desk for her. A few started to read the letter dramatically and make everyone laugh. Only a few had written names on it which none of them read aloud.
Classes finished calmly before they dispersed to their places.
Alan's table was loaded with files and the day was filled with meetings. He finished all the meetings and took many files back to his villa to complete.
Saturday, It wasn't even two classes, Aria was called to the Principal's office.
She entered to see Isla wearing an inexpensive branded dress, her manager, two more women in them one looked like an assistant and the other one's facial features were the same as Isla. Aria thought her as a mother.
She ignored them and greeted, "Principal!"
"Aria, Ms.Turner has a complaint against you." The principal wasn't reckless to get angry at Aria or defend Isla.
Aria didn't react. Isla's manager voice raised high, "Principal! You don't have to respect this no-name girl... You! dumb girl, how dare you hit our Isla?"
The principal wanted to laugh hearing 'no-name girl'. Turners were nothing in front of The Cooper. With that, Aria had the Morgan family.
Aria frowned covering her ear, "Miss, whoever you are. If you don't like your throat, go to the ground and shout. I love my ears and eardrums."
"You..." The manager was fuming.
Isla's face turned dark but tried her best to maintain her image in front of the Principal.
Her Mom charged towards Aria, "How dare you hurt my daughter?"
Aria released herself from her grip, "Mrs.Turner I presume. Have some elegance of Madam and stop being uncivilized. Is this how you treat girls who are younger? No doubt, your daughter learned well from you plotting evil things behind the back."
One more enraged.
