Chương 20: An Invitation

The clockwork sound accompanies Ariana. The girl taps her tip of the shoes as the form of her boringness. Ariana looks at the crowd of people passing by, entering and leaving Louise Aldebaran's room. It had been almost half an hour for Ariana to wait for the secretary to let her in, but certainly, meeting someone as important as Louise is not as easy as she thinks.

Today Ariana skips school because her photo shoot schedule moves forward to this day. She has no other choice because the contract has already been taken. And This morning, before going to the studio, Kyara asked Ariana to deliver an invitation to the grand opening of their new hotel next month to Louise. So Ariana stops by Aldebaran's head office company before taking the photo shoot.

"Remember, Ariana!! It must be Mr. Louise himself who receives it from your hands! Don't leave it to his secretary!" Kyara's words repeats in Ariana's mind, so she can't help but wait for Louise to come out and hand it over in personal.

[Huh, I'm boring. He must be at the meeting.] Ariana snorts. She gets her cell phone from pink clutch. Finally she decides to kill the time by playing with this thin object. Her slender fingers begin to scroll the screen up and down.

Ariana gapes. Her eyes wider when she sees some photos and videos in the class X-A chat group. The photo shows Jasmine sitting between Leonardo and Raphael. These two young masters even challenge each other to win Jasmine's love as the trophy.

"Wow!" Ariana covers her falling jaw with her palm. She can not understand why Jasmine always be the center of attention to all the young masters. Ariana keeps scrolling until she doesn't realize that Louise is walking out.

"Ariana?!" Suddenly a voice stops her activities, Arina turns towards the voice.

"Uncle." Ariana rushes to get up and approaches Louise. She grips an invitation.

"Why don't you come in?" Louise asks her. This man respects this girl for saving his life.

"Umm... your secretary won't allow me, Uncle," Ariana answers.

"Tsk, what the hell?! Next time this lady comes, report to me!" Louise snaps at the female staff in charge of receiving guests.

"Yes, Sir." She nods deeply.

"Come here, girl. What is the matter? What do you need here?" Louise tells Ariana to approach him closer. Ariana smiles before walking towards Louise.

"Here, Uncle. An invitation to the grand opening of our new hotel for the Aldebaran family. I hope you can attend the event, Uncle." Ariana hands over an invitation. A man who is accompanying Louise accepts it.

"Of course, I will come." Louise smiles.

"Thank you." Ariana's face becomes brighter with joy.

"Hey! You create notes about this event. put it on my schedule!" Louise orders to his secretary.

"Yes, Sir."

"You've started school at ALDE? Have you met Leon? I told him to be your friend." Louise asks Ariana about her school life, has she met Leonardo there?

"Ah... yes, I know Leon, but we don't know each other let alone friends." Ariana follows the older man's footsteps outside.

"Hm, even though I told him to. That kid is too introverted and difficult to make a friend. His friends are only two brats, Durontea and Rene. It was my mistake to educate him too hard. Now, his attitude is also as hard as a rock." Louise complains about his one and only son.

"That's not your mistake, Uncle. You're just trying to provide the best for the future heir of the Aldebaran family." Ariana's words make Louise happy. This girl is a wise and mature mind.

"You are a sweet and kind girl, Ariana. Maybe it would be good if you stay by Leon's side." Louise laughs happily.

"No, Uncle. A small family like ours could not possibly dare to be side by side with Aldebaran." Ariana subtly refuses Louise's spontaneous offer. Actually, Ariana refuses because of Jasmine. Through the photo earlier, she knows very well that Leon's heart is only for Jasmine.

"Hahaha... I like the way you turned me down, kid. The other families probably wouldn't waste this offer." Louise pats Ariana's shoulder.

Louise's secretary whispers something, making Louise have to end his warm conversation with Ariana. There are more important schedules waiting for him today.

"Sorry, kid. Uncle has to attend another meeting." Louise says goodbye to Ariana.

"It's okay, Uncle. I'm the one who feels guilty for interrupting Uncle's precious time." Ariana bows her head slightly.

"You're such a polite and self-aware kid. I really like you. I'll come to the event, kid. Send my regards to your parents." Louise praises Ariana.

"Thank you, Uncle," Ariana says happily.

Louise Aldebaran hurriedly leaves Ariana. Ariana smiles with satisfaction, she rushes back to her car to head to the shooting area.
