Arya walked inside the beautiful apartment and was in awe. It encompassed an entire floor of the building.
Then she was startled to see a dog barking and running towards Ryu.
"Hello dear. How are you? Did you miss me?" Ryu asked as he quickly swept the dog in his embrace and stroked its hair lovingly.
Arya stared in wonder because she was not aware that Ryu loved dogs.
Chen who was beside her whispered, "That’s Ar-Ar Madam. Master Ryu bought that a week after you left."
"What breed is that?" Arya asked sluggishly. The dog was small. It was cute though.
"It’s a Lowchen the ’Little Lion Dog’. That breed is very rare and nearly extinct." Chen replied.
He wanted to tell more to Madam Arya like how Master Ryu always talked to his dog as if he was talking to Madam Arya instead. But Chen saw Master Ryu walking towards them already so he zipped his mouth.
Arya twitched her lips when Ryu was about to give her the dog.
"No, no, no. I don’t like animals." She quickly said with a hand gesture and then she stepped backwards.
She was not into animals and she did not know why either. She will always pull back whenever she saw them running towards her. She can’t touch them either.
Ryu just shrugged his shoulders and turned around to hug and play with the dog.
"Wow, he seems to love that pet so much," she murmured seeing how Ryu cuddled and kissed Ar-Ar.
"Ar-Ar?" she suddenly blurted out and looked at Chen. It just occurred to her that the dog’s name was starting with the two letters of her name.
"Yes Madam, you are right whatever it is that you are thinking. And do you know that Master Ryu always talks to Ar-Ar like he was talking to you in person Madam. He was like..." Chen’s narration was cut-off by Ryu’s loud voice.
"Chen, stop sprouting nonsense and quickly inform Arya on the things she will need to do in the office." Ryu instructed while he put food on the bowl for his dog.
Chen just scratched his head and started to relay all the information that Madam Arya needed.
"So basically, your main focus Madam will be Master Ryu’s schedules and you must stay beside him at all times even during his meetings." Chen said clearly.
Arya nodded in understanding.
’That’s too easy.’ She thought silently.
Chen bid his farewell after showing her the room where she would stay.
"What is this?" she murmured with a crumpled face when she saw a connecting door inside her room. It was connected to Ryu’s room.
It seems like her privacy will be invaded at any time too though she will not complain about it.
Arya exhaled, in truth she was a little bit disappointed because she was expecting that they will be sleeping in the same room after their intimate moment in the bus. Her face was deep red as she recalled it.
’Why are you becoming pervert lately and don’t be too greedy Arya!’ she scolded herself silently.
She went back outside and looked at Ryu. She found him at the garden area. He was still playing with his dog.
Arya pouted her lips and muttered, "Why do I feel like I’ve been discarded because of a dog?"
Then she fixed her eyes on Ryu who was laughing loudly.
She still can’t believe that Ryu had a tough time while she was away. She understood well what was Chen said. Ryu even bought a companion to ease the pain and longing he might have been felt.
She herself experienced the same by approaching some guests from their hotel with the same back as Ryu, thinking the possibility that it was him.
"Okay little doggy, I will try to treat you well even if I don’t like dogs since you take good care of my man." She murmured as she shifted her gaze to the dog.
Then Arya smiled wickedly, since she was free already, she can now do anything she wanted. And that includes of pleasing Ryu.
She will make sure that she will stick like glue on him whether he likes it or not.
