The CEO Who Hates Me

"You can be a great chef if this continues." Butler Omni commented while he watched Ryu whistle happily while cooking.     

"I guess you enjoyed the tour to the extent that you are dancing with joy. I even had to blink several times just to confirm that you are really the child I have raised since birth." He continued jokingly.     

If Ryu acted like this at Ken Mansion, all the elder's jaws would definitely drop, whether in shock or in horror, he was not sure either.     

Ryu was always quiet with his family and talked whenever asked a question or if you were the one who approached him first.     

The current Ryu he was watching from the moment he stepped foot on the island was like a different person, an improved version, but in a good way.     

It seemed like Arya was bringing out the best in him, which no one had seen so far and he was glad that he had the chance to witness that with his own eyes.     

Love was really an amazing thing and could move a person in mysterious ways.     

The smell of Ryu's dish was so inviting that Butler Omni was tempted to taste it so he quickly grabbed a plate.     

"What are you doing?" Ryu asked when Butler Omni moved beside him with his plate and fork.     

"What else? I am going to try your food and let's see how it taste." Butler Omni answered and was about to dig in when Ryu quickly covered it.     

"Ask our cook to give you food. Don't you dare touch this one! It is exclusive for my Arya." Ryu said with his hand still holding the cover firmly.     

Butler Omni: ".....?"     

-------------------     

Ryu served the One Pan Creamy Chicken Marsala with Pasta and Sheet Pan Steak and Veggies to Arya.     

"Still numb? I can feed you if you want. You are right-handed," Ryu suggested with his teasing tone because Arya used her right hand to please him before.     

'What the hell. Does he need to bring up that topic during dinner?' Arya complained inwardly.     

She looked at Ryu with her sharp and narrowed eyes, indicating him to stop right at that moment. Ryu just laughed and stared back at her then winked.     

"Alright, eat now," Ryu said still staring at her lovingly.     

Arya was blushing and said, "Stop that. I can't eat properly if you keep doing that. It's uncomfortable. You should eat too and not just stare at me."     

She grabbed the spoon and as soon as she tasted Ryu's dish, she started eating like there's no tomorrow. She no longer minded that Ryu was still staring at her with an amused expression on his face.     

He already felt full just by watching how Arya was eating with content and he was so filled with joy as he turned to his plate.     

-------------------------     

It was Arya's fourth day on the island and so far, everything was going well between her and Ryu.     

However, the more she stayed, the deeper her admiration for Ryu grew. She was afraid that it would lead to a more serious thing like love.     

She smirked at the word 'love'. Did she even deserve to feel that thing toward someone like Ryu?     

She looked at her mobile phone that Ryu had returned to her after a few hours.     

'Rita hasn't called yet. Should I be happy or be alarmed by that?' She thought suddenly.     

"Your mobile phone was wiretapped and had a locator installed. My men are already checking its origin." Ryu explained when he noticed that Arya was staring at her phone screen absentmindedly.     

"Can we get back until the last trial of my Dad? I want to be present on that day." Arya murmured.     

Ryu released a deep sigh and hugged her.     

"Yes, we will go. I will escort you there." Ryu answered while he kissed her head.     

"Who wants to play with this old man?" Butler Omni suddenly spoke from behind.     

Both Arya and Ryu, who were sitting on the balcony cuddling each other, turned their heads to the old man who had a chess board in his hand.     

"I don't know how to play that but I would love to learn," Arya said smiling as the old man sat on the opposite couch and began setting the chess board.     

"Well, Ryu and I will teach you as we play, and I am sure you will learn fast just like in…"     

"Oh please, Butler Omni, stop dropping lines or you will play with someone else instead," Ryu said grinning.     

Butler Omni just scratched his head while Arya laughed out hard.
