Chapter 78
Oliver was in his office alone, he had so much work to do after him and Sammy had both taken two days off. It was always the
workload that made him fear missing the office, not even about money or loss of clients. He just disliked coming back to the
office and meeting a lot of files on his desk, maybe it was time he hired someone to run this place.
Maybe he could make Sammy his manager and get about two other people to assist him, then he can take his long deserved
break from the company. He would have done that a long time ago but he was getting buried with work on purpose, so that he
can avoid thinking about Aria.
If things worked out now, then he would spend every day having fun with his family, and if Aria refuses to come back, then he
might just have to claim custody of Lena. His life might not be complete without her but if he claimed custody of her, it was just a
matter of time before Aria is forced to follow, she won’t be able to live with her daughter so she would certainly follow him.
He was still sorting out files when his phone rang. At first he ignored it, he didn’t want to discuss anything that wasn’t business
related now so he would not answer calls from his personal phone, except it was the company telephone.
The phone rang a second time and he ignored it once again but when the phone started ringing the third time, he lost his temper
completely and took it with the intention to lay curses on the caller, but he suddenly froze when he saw the caller ID.
It was Aria’s local number, that number had not called him in the past seven years. Was it really her or did someone get hold of it
because that number had been unreachable for the past seven years.
He took a deep breath before clicking the green button, then he brought the phone closer to his ears slowly.
“Hello,” he heard that voice utter and his whole body reacted to it as goose bumps spread all over his skin. She was the one.
“Aria?” he muttered, more like queried.

“Yes, I won’t be surprised if you had deleted my number because you ought to,” she replied rudely.
Oliver sighed. For one minute back there, he thought he had gotten his Aria back, but no... this was Aria 2.0, the new rude,
egoistic, sarcastic Aria with attitude.
“Um... is there a problem?” he asked, trying to keep his emotions in check and sound casual, not minding she was being rude to
him.
“No, you don’t think I would call you if I had a problem, do you?”
“Then why did you call, is it because you miss me?” he asked and she froze.
He knew that his words were having an effect on her, no matter how much she tries to deny it, everything about him still has an
effect on her. She is just trying to resist him and fight off her feelings.
After a few minutes, Aria finally spoke up from the other side, this time in a calm voice with little or maybe no attitude.
“Actually, Rosie and I went shopping at the Baroness designs and collections, the one downtown... Unfortunately, their boutique
is temporarily closed because of some maintenance, but the maintenance is over and their staff are available. Rosie was hoping
you could pull a few strings to help her do shopping today,” she said defensively..

Oliver chuckled softly, but not audibly enough for her to hear it. She was trying to point out to him that this was all her best
friend’s idea and not hers, maybe to prove that she would never need any favors from him.
He sighed, “Alright, I will see what I can do,” he replied softly.
“Okay then,” she said and he heard the call disconnect. She had hung up immediately.
Oliver couldn’t help but smile to himself; he sat on his desk and scrolled through his phonebook. “Let’s see which one of my
contacts can prove useful now,” he muttered to himself.

“Did he agree to it?” Rosie asked as Aria walked back to her.

Aria did not respond to her, she seemed a bit lost after speaking with Oliver. A lot of thoughts were rushing through her mind,
when Oliver used that calm soft voice on her, it felt like her heart had melted down like ice.
Did this mean that she still had feelings for him? No, even if she did, she would just have to keep them to herself for the rest of
her life, falling for him again is too risky. She didn’t want to make that mistake.
“Aria, are you still there?” Rosie asked but there was no response. Her best friend just stood there, absent minded.
“Earth to Crystal, do you copy?” Rosie said loudly, finally driving her attention back.
“Yeah, yeah I spoke to him, he said he will do something about it,” she replied.
“Okay, but what were you thinking?” Rosie queried.
Just then someone walked up to them, a lady in black suit. They turned around to face her.
“Hello, are you Mrs. Arianna Gomez and Rosie Granger,” the lady asked.
Arianna clenched her fist and tried to retort that her last name was McQueen and not Gomez but then she realized that Oliver
must have don’t this on purpose to see if she loved her friend more than she hated him.
If she chose to deny the name, then they might not be let in to shop and she would also expose her real identity at the same
time. So maybe she should just agree to be Mrs. Gomez this one last time, and it will be all over the moment she steps out of
here.
“Yes, I am Mrs. Gomez and this is my best friend Rosie Granger, I believe you must have received a call from my husband,” she
said and Rosie stared at her in disbelief.
With the way Aria despised Oliver, Rosie never believed that Aria would accept that last name, not only accept it but also
mention to the lady that he was her husband, the same man she loathes a lot.
“Yes madam, sorry to keep you waiting, please come with me,” the woman said politely.
Aria nodded and followed her immediately while Rosie followed behind. They arrived at the door and Rosie chuckled mockingly
at the fat lady before they walked in. the woman stood there staring at them in surprise, she felt terrible that they went in after
everything.

It was a big blow to her face and she would not let this pass so easily. She promised to get her revenge on this rude lady
someday, just because they were influential doesn’t mean they can do whatever they please and get away with it.
