THIRD POV～
Adonis's jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with irritation as he watched Aria "Call them Aria. The deal is off" he said, his voice low and rough.
Adonis groans in frustration not understanding what is wrong with him.
He has never felt this way before and these new feelings irritated and frustrated him to no end.
''Why sir?''Aria asks him, her brows arched slightly.
''That fucking bastard is a pervert,I don't want him eye raping my PA while we work together'' He says the disgust evident in his voice his lips curling.
Aria sighs and starts listing the benefits of working with the royal family and Julian sits there nodding his head.
"There's too much at stake sir" Aria's expression remained neutral but a flicker of curiosity passed danced in her eyes.
Julian lounging in his chair, nods vigorously, his eyes sparkling with amusement. Aria sighs and launches into a detailed explanation of the benefits.
''I still don't like him''Adonis says, his gaze drifting to her, his eyes lingering on the curve of her smile. When she finished he stretched out his hand for the bottle of wine, only to have Aria snatch it.
''You don't have to,this is business''Aria tells him and walks back to drop the bottle of alcohol back in its place.
''And no alcohol boss''Aria tells him and Julian laughs at how stern she sounds while Adonis lets out a chuckle.
Adonis chuckles, the sound low and husky as he runs his hand through his hair. "You are the only one who dares Aria" Adonis says, his eyes crinkling at the corner while Julian laughs outrightly.
Aria smiles and shakes her head lightly "Just doing my job boss" and she places it back in the holder.
''Well big brother is right, seeing as the man is scary''Julian says and Adonis throws the files in front of him at Julian who dodges it while laughing.
''Even I wouldn't dare''Julian says and fingers tracing his jaw.
''Besides that man was totally staring at your fine ass''Julian continued with a whistle.
Aria glares at him and starts walking towards him when the ringing of her phone halts her.
After glancing at the caller ID she picks up the call.
''What you have a nice ass''Julian says loudly and Aria points at the phone, her eyes widening as she indicates for him to keep quiet.
''Whose ass is Julian complementing''The voice of Julian's mother rings from the other side of the phone and both Julian and Adonis's eyes widen as they exchange glances.
''Please''Julian pleads before rushing out of the room, his eyes scanning the place frantically and steps quickening.
He has not been home for a month and has been avoiding his mother's call and her lectures.
The usual about wanting grandkids and the desire to see them settling down.
Adonis on the other hand is really in danger as he has not been home for months now and has not been picking his mother's call.
''No one's aunty,how are you?''Aria asks the elderly woman a smile subconsciously appearing on her face.
''I am fine dear but will be better if you just get married to my son''Mrs Castillo says and Aria sighs the laughter escaping her from the familiar words.
Leave it to this woman to always play match maker.
''Your son is my boss, aunty''Aria reminds her, Mrs Castillo brushes off her words and instead starts asking her questions.
All the while Adonis sits there, his gaze fixed on her,he could not help but be mesmerized by how she talked animatedly his gaze fixated on her lips, Adonis gulps his Adam's apple bobbing and he clears his throat before looking away.
''Where is that ungrateful brat?" The voice of his mother snaps and he immediately comes back to reality, eyes wide.
