The CEO Who Hates Me 9 You're The Girlfriend

"Why are you so worried to be seen with me?" Ryu asked with an irritated tone as soon as Arya entered his car. He received a message from Arya instructing him to wait inside the car and that she will just follow him there soon or else she will not go with him.

It doesn't bother him at all to get seen with her by other people. He doesn't care and yet she was the one bothered by it.

This was the first time that he felt rejected and he can't help but feel annoyed. She was the first woman who even had the nerve to threaten him. He was Ryu Ken, most girls were trying hard just to be closed to him. 'How come she was an exception?' He thought inwardly and still feels dejected.

"Aren't you afraid to be on a scandal with me? Most of the models there absolutely recognized you. You know how fast gossips spread and most of the time it's not even the real thing. I'm just worried about your reputation." explained by Arya.

Ryu sighed. They were inside his car alone. This time he wanted to drive so he dismissed his driver to pick-up Arya on his own.

He turned around and leaned forward to Arya. They were so closed that he can almost kiss her. "What are you doing?" Arya asked with her eyes wide opened.

"Are you married?" He asked looking straight into her eyes as he pulled the seatbelt for Arya.

She just shook her head as an answer. Arya's heartbeat almost stopped at that closeness. She can only smell his scent and wasn't able to talk.

"So what scandal are you referring to? You are single and so am I." She heard him added.

She doesn't know what's going on with her. A while ago her heartbeat stop then suddenly it beats so fast right now.

"Why are you so close? I can't breathe." The only words Arya can whisper as their eyes locked.

She saw his lips curved into a wicked smile as he answered, "your seatbelt for safe driving."

Then she heard the click as the seatbelt locked. Arya blew an air out to her forehead as soon as Ryu went back to his position to drive.

'That was close.' She thought inwardly.

"Where are we going?" She asked to break the silence inside the car.

"Lunch," he answered simply.

Arya creased her forehead. She looked at her phone to see his schedule today.

"I thought you have a lunch meeting? Is it cancelled?" She asked.

"Nope. I just wanted you to accompany me." Ryu answered smiling.

"What? Am I your a.s.sistant or your secretary now?" She hissed.

"Nope. You're the girlfriend." Ryu was grinning as he said the words.

Arya narrowed her eyes as she stared at him. 'Wait, is he serious?' She asked inwardly while she waited for him to explain further with her questioning stare at him.

Ryu chuckled and said, "Relax. I'm not finish with my words yet. I need a girlfriend to accompany me so Mr. Yamato won't pester me to date his daughter. He's been hooking me up with his only girl for some time now and it's getting bothersome already."

"Just be my girlfriend for a day okay?" Ryu continued.

Arya just sighed deeply. She should be feeling happy because she was not exerting any hard efforts at all to get his trust and make him fall in love with her but rather it was the other way around. He was the one who seemed to be exerting an effort to be closer at her.

With the current progress of the situation, Arya doesn't feel the slight of happiness as she was moving forward to her mission. 'Should I warn him to be cautious little by little?' She thought to herself.

'Don't forget that you signed a contract with Rita Arya,' she scolded herself. Ryu wave his hand before her eyes. "Why are you in a deep thought? Is being my girlfriend hard?" he asked in a sulky tone.

Arya quickly answered, "Alright, we will just pretend for today." Then she winked at him to lift his spirit back. She leaned on her sit and look at the windows car.

"If I were you, don't even waste your time to like someone like me for real.", Ryu suddenly heard her spoke.

He laughed and said, "why not?"

"Just don't like or fall for me okay. I am a bad person. Anyway, who would even fall for someone at this early stage? Just an idiot will do." She murmured as her lips twitched.

Ryu creased his forehead and did not bother to give other meaning on her words. He just a.s.sumed that Arya was quite bitter at this moment regarding relations.h.i.+ps because of the a.s.shole that's bothering her on the phone before.

He suddenly got curious and said, "Not all guys were a.s.sholes like your unknown caller. Oh right I answered him when you slept in my room. I hope he's not bothering you anymore?"

Arya just shook her head as an answer. She too was shocked that Jim was no longer pestering her. She did not bother to ask Ryu what he told Jim, what matters was Jim no longer trouble her.

She made stolen glances at Ryu who was now focusing on the road as he drives. 'Can you at least act bad or don't act nice to me at all?' How she wanted to voice out loud that inner thought of hers.
