?Episode 25?

?Aurora’s POV?

Dian was surprise as he keep watching me not saying a thing.
He must be really shocked.

“You really can’t operate it? He asked again and I nodded.
He collected the phone from me and press it on the side. The phone booth on and I stare at him in awe.
He came behind me and handed me the phone, one of his hand on my shoulder as he used the other one to guide me through the phone.

“I already saved my number in here so if you want to text me or something,you just have to press the number and then press the message botton but if you want to call you can press the call botton.” He said and I nodded. His breath fanning my neck.

It was really awkward for me to see him like that,I was nervous as my breathing become erratic.

“Are you okay? He asked and I nodded.
He keep teaching me how to operate the phone while quarter of the time he used to teach me I was busy thinking about him.
What if he is not with Mabel maybe I would have had a chance with him but it doesn’t matter anyway, I disguised myself as a boy so how is he ever going yo pick interest in me?

Sometimes I regret my decision, it pains me that I can’t express myself neither can he notice me since I portray myself as a boy.

“Do you understand what I just said? He asked and I nodded. To operate a phone isn’t the difficult after all.

“So if you got something to report,or any other things just text or call me.” He said and I nodded.
I stood up from the couch and he handed me my phone pack.

“Thank you sir,I really appreciate this.” I said and he chuckled slightly.
“It is nothing Aurora.” He said.

“Good night.” I said and waved at him.
“Good night.” He said back as he closed the door behind me.

He is kind, sometimes we don’t have to judge a book by its cover.
Who will believe that the arrogant cold Dian can actually be this sweet to a commoner?

Even in my wildest dream I couldn’t even think of that.

I enter the elevator and pressed the digit. The elevator moved and later stopped. I got out of it and walk along the corridor.
G0sh I forgot which is our room.

What do I do now? It is late at night and every where is calm,I am getting scared already.
I quickly turn on my phone and did exactly as Dian taught me awhile ago.

I pressed his number and then text him a message.

?Sir please help, I forget my room number?
I pressed send then wait for him to reply.
My phone bing and I opened the text message from Dian.
His number was saved as ‘Friendly boss’.
Funny really hilarious.

?At the 39th floor, room 399?the text read.

I stared at the room number and they were
200 and below. I quickly enter the elevator and pressed the 39.

I waited for the elevator to stop and it finally did,it opened and I stepped out of it but bumped into someone. Wait Asher?

“What the h.ell? Look where you’re going? He yelled not looking up.

He raised his head and see me.
“It is you? Dian called me and said you missed your way so I was on my way to fetch you.” He explained and I nodded.

“Thank you sir,but am fine now.” I said and he nods.
We walk back inside our room and I dropped my phone on my night lamp stand.
Weirdly he didn’t ask anything about the phone.

Well I was happy about that because I wasn’t ready to talk, I need to sleep real bad.

I close my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Dian’s POV

I woke up and stretch myself lazily.
I slept late last night but that doesn’t mean that I don’t stay up late.

It has been a routine for me and I don’t really get affected by it any longer.

I picked up my phone and check my email box for messages.
I replied three messages from scandal_e and Tina’s message then I saw Mabel’s.

Why did she send me a message to my email box?

I opened it and stare at it for a moment trying to grasp on what she just typed.
What does she mean by that?

I don’t really understand.

?Tonight will be the best night for you because I prepared a best gift for tonight?

What can the gift be? I don’t remember the last time Mabel said anything reasonable. Probably one of her public stunt again.

I quickly typed back before dropping my phone on the bed.

?What gift??

Am really curious to know what she’s up yo this time.
