Angela didn't felt she was flattering. Instead, she was rather shocked by his words. 'This man is really the cold and indifferent vice director of our hospital?' Angela wondered.
She did not take the bowl in Arvin's hand right away. She just looked at Daisy and asked, "Mum... He's Arvin, right?"
Arvin smiled after hearing Angela's funny question.
As for Daisy, she wanted to knock on her daughter' head, whose behaviour was kind of weird today. "Yes, of course. Don't you see him? He's right in front of you!"
"Take the bowl from Arvin, Angela. He is holding it." Sven reminded Angela, who looked a little confused.
Later on, Angela took the bowl from Arvin and tasted the soup. 'Which cook made this? It's quite delicious...' She thought to herself.
As the dinner ended, Angela was still confused.
After Arvin went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, Daisy patted Angela's head, "What's going on with you, my sweetheart? Do you have problems with Arvin?"
To confirm, Angela nodded her head. She did have strong opinions about him. "Mum... Could you ask Arvin..." To check into a hotel?
Just as she was about to finish saying those five words, she was interrupted by Sven. "Have you tidied up a clean room for Arvin?"
"Why did you ask me to tidy up for him? He himself should do it." Angela unconvincedly glared at her older brother, who didn't pick her side. "You're treating him as if he was your younger brother but remember, I am your younger sister, Okay?" Angela barked.
Seeing her daughter being arrogant and unyielding, Daisy shook her head. "Go downstairs. I'll go tidy up a clean room for Arvin."
After that, she went upstairs.
Right at that moment, Arvin came out of the bathroom. Angela stopped Daisy, "Mum!"
"Why?"
"You don't have to do it. I'll clean Avrin's room." Angela went upstairs right away, leaving everyone in confusion.
In the guest room
Angela closed the door, opened the closet's door and took a grey duvet set out. 'No!' Angela felt this was not good enough so she put it back.
She went into her own room, found a clean duvet set in her coatroom and walked back to the guest room.
She carefully made the bed and covered it with new quilts.
However, the quilt was quite big and she couldn't make it if she stood along the bed so she quickly took off her shoes and crawled onto the bed.
"Wow. Finally. I finished it. I'm tired."
She threw the newly-covered bedspread away. She really need a breath!
When she lay in bed, her eyes rolled and she realized, 'Isn't Arvin a neat freak? Ha ha!'
She jumped onto the bed, covered herself with this newly-made quilt and rolled over. 'I'm sleeping on this bed. Ha ha!'
When Angela was giggling, Arvin opened the door and saw her rolling on the pink bed covered by the quilt. She almost hit the ground but thank God she was not.
All of a sudden, Angela came out of the quilt. "Oh my God!" Arvin, who was standing beside the bed, stared at her with his arms crossed in his chest.
Angela was about to stand up just now but she was startled by Arvin's sudden appearance so she fell onto the bed. Her eyes were filled with anger. "How come you didn't knock the door before you entered the room?"
"This is my room now. How come you are here?" He reminded her in a indifferent manner.
He then took a look at his bed. This pink bedspread was so not his type.
"Oh!" However, Angela pointed out, "This is my home! All the rooms here are mine. All the beds he
re are mine, too."
"Yes." This was for sure.
"I've slept on this bed. Don't you have a thing for cleanliness? Go and find a hotel for youself, please?"
'So that's the reason... why she rolled over on this pinkish bed.'
Suddenly, Angela was under Arvin's body. He quickly covered her mouth.
"I won't let you go if you scream!"
"I won't scream... But I won't leave today!"
Angela shut her mouth and pushed his hand away.
Arvin slowly let her go but he didn't stand up right away, "Don't you know I'm a neat lover? Make my bed again! I want all things new!"
"New? We don't have a new devut set! This is the only one set left. You can go find a hotel if you don't like it." Angela looked up at him, very proudly.
"So you mean this is your bedsheet and quilt cover?"
"Yes... Wait. How did you know that?"
Arvin thought Angela was an idiot. "Is that normal if your older brother or your parents use this pink devut set?"
After a moment's reflection, Angela felt ashamed of herself. He was so right. 'Of course, they won't use a pink duvet set like this.'
"Stand, please. Otherwise, when they come in and see us like this, they will take it wrongly."
"Take it wrongly? Don't you want them to misunderstand us?"
'This is exactly what Sven meant to do although he doesn't like it, ' Arvin thought.
Angela give him a frown. "I have a boyfriend, okay? We can't be like this... We can't get close. Now, get up!"
Upon hearing what Angela said, Arvin's eyes cooled down but he kept still.
"I'll take action if you don't get up. Seriously! Don't blame me if I hurt you!" 'Arvin seemed refined in his manners, so he might be weak inside, ' Angela thought to herself.
"Angela." Suddenly, Arvin called her name.
Angela looked up at him. "Yes?"
Before Angela could burst into anger, Arvin held her hands. With his serious face, he sincerely told her, "I'm sorry."
Hearing the three words from Arvin, she swallowed up the words she said before.
She looked straight into his pleading eyes. She couldn't brush off her suprise and confusion... 'Arvin was apologizing?' She couldn't believe it. "Why... did you apologize?"
Arvin didn't respond to her question right away. At this moment, the room was so quiet that Angela could only hear was his heart beating. She suddenly blushed.
"Don't ask me the reason." There was no explanation so he didn't say anything.
"If you don't explain why, I'll take it as the apology for everything you've done wrong to me." Angela was in a shock that she didn't realize how inappropriate their gesture was.
Arvin just stared at her with a blank expression on his face. He didn't utter any word.
Angela took his silence as a yes... But why?
Why did he apologize to her?
His apology nearly made her forgive for every wrong thing he had done to her.
"Don't ask." Angela smelled like roses which captivated Arvin and made him move closer to her.
He reminisced their kiss last time, which left him with sleepless nights and thoughts.
Their kiss was like opium. It was very addicting. It was hard to quit which made him try one more time, and now... He did it again. He kissed her.
...
Arvin's lips were so warm that Angela almost forgot to breathe. He kissed her again!
Holy mama! And there they are! At her house! Avrin was too brave!
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the room. Arvin looked at Angela in his arms. Her eyes were closed but his eyes glimmered.
