Chapter 650: The Big Bad Wolf



Chapter 650: The Big Bad Wolf

Arsh would have preferred to work from home but it was important for him to go to the office so that others don't interrupt wrongly and work well. The group was motivated to see Arsh as the new leader so their efficiency increased too. 

Noor often dropped by, bringing lunch for everyone and even feeding her boyfriend whenever he was drowning in work repeating, '5 minutes' for more than an hour.

In the Morgan mansion, everyone saw Arsh daily, he would have breakfast with them and leave. They hardly saw him in the evening, busy with work. Since they knew Noor would be around him after her work, they didn't worry about his food or health.

In the Woods mansion, everyone was amused by how motivated and cheerful Noor would be all day. She would eat, go to work, drop a visit to Arsh, then work and again go to Arsh. It became common to see Arsh dropping Noor home every evening. Numerous times Arsh had dinner at Wood's place if not in the office.

On the day of Game-thon in the capital city, the Fourie planned dinner together and gathered in a restaurant. Everyone was there, except Noor and Arsh. The youngsters were at different tables while Fourie and their partners were at one.

Rooney heard the Fourie laugh speaking about Noor leaving her work and running behind Arsh to the capital. He made a bet at his table, "Sister Snow, I bet Bro and Noor would get married first if not with you and Bro-in-law."

Rian heard his son's voice and added, "I am on it, my son. I won't be surprised if they enter here with marriage certificates hiding in their bag." Aria and Alan looked at each other and chuckled. They had done that.

Noah: "..."

Naira added hers, "I am with Roo. If Arsh had proposed Noor in the capital, she would have said yes." Norah chuckled hearing her daughter. They had numerous times caught Noor giggling over a call before going to sleep.

Noah: "..."

Arna and Ivan sighed, hearing everyone, "You are going too far. When we dropped them to the airport yesterday," Arna revealed, "We heard Noor still calling bro as Young Master Morgan. She is still our little snail Noor." 

The ladies chuckled hearing it while men had the expression saying they could feel the distress of Arsh.

At the door of the private room. Flushed, Noor stood speechless while Arsh crossed his arms over his chest, gazing at her. 

The mini version of the game was doing better than they expected. Instead of sleeping in the hotel, Noor suggested returning and joining everyone for dinner. So they ended up arriving a little late to dinner but at the right time to hear them laughing.

"Ms. Little Snail, they are making fun of my girlfriend for not calling me by name."

Noor pouted hearing him call her snail, "I am not a snail."

Arsh chuckled at how easily she changed the topic to snail when he asked about calling him by name, "You are indeed slow. Ms. Wood."

She knows that but, "I am not as slow as a snail." She countered. Going close to him, she muttered to his ear, "Because of you everyone laughs at me and teases me more." Then she sulked, taking a step away, "Everyone used to treat me so nice and sweet."

"Really?" Arsh asked, "Let me see who doesn't treat you nice and sweet."

He tried to hold her hand but she stepped away, "No, I am not coming in. I don't want to get teased."

He hummed, "Then let's talk about something else, was your sister right?"

Noor recalled what Naira said. Her face again turned red and shook her head vigorously. She wasn't ready for any proposal.

At the private door, Rooney peeked out and cued the rest. His guess was right. Naira peeked out next followed by Arna and Ivan joined. Four's ears etched at the voices in complete silence.

Arsh was leaning on the wall facing her so he didn't see them. "So you will reject me."

Noor felt like crying, "You said you will wait until I am ready."

The four at the door looked at each other guessing it might be something about their relationship.

Arsh nodded, "Did I propose? No, I am just asking."

Ivan whispered to Arna, "Your brother is devious."

Noor scratched her head thinking how they could be different. "You are fooling me again." She humphed and looked away. Her jaws dropped looking at four peeking at them.

When Arsh turned around, there was nobody. The four had returned to their table. Arsh didn't have to ask Noor, she was too simple to prank him. He ignored them and turned to Noor. he came back to the topic, "I will consider it as rejection then."

He turned around to lead the way, Noor mumbled to herself following behind him, "I never said I would reject."

Arsh shook his head in resignation hearing her words. He didn't comment on it and pretended to be unheard. Pulling her next to him, they went inside the eerily quiet room.

Noor had the urge to hide behind Arsh when everyone's eyes were glued to them. She awkwardly smiled, "We came early."

"Oh," All said in unison, making her blush.

Arsh interjected before his girlfriend could decide to run out, "I got a complaint that you all are teasing my girlfriend too much."

Suddenly everyone ignored them and got back to dinner. Noor looked at all, she felt everyone was the same as in the past but she felt ignored also by the sudden change.

Arsh saw the confusion on her face, "Nobody will tease you."

Noor shook her head, she was feeling something amiss. She whined in an audible voice, "You guys are bullying me now."

All burst into chuckles hearing her. Roxy cued her to go close to her and stood up from her chair, "We just love you too much."

All added in unison excluding Alan, Isaac, Noah, and Arsh, "Yes, we love you" They were sincere too.

Noor giggled hearing them and turned to Roxy, "We never thought the big bad wolf would take away our innocent little red. No worries, once you guys get married and become shameless like Aria and brother Alan, nobody will tease you. Then you will tease everyone with excess dog food."

The big bad wolf, Arsh: "..."

"Hey hey, My husband and I will take that as a compliment," Aria interjected and everyone chuckled.

Noor was blushing hearing Roxy but she still nodded. Arsh pulled a chair for her and sat down as he whispered, "Did you just agree to marry the big bad wolf?" He sighed, "No doubt you rejected me."

Noor: "..."

She wanted to bonk the person who picked the marriage topic. With the little annoyance, "You are the big bad wolf. Yes, I will marry you. If you tease me again, I will I will push you off the chair." She blurted out. She never thought of not marrying him, she was enjoying her time with him and supporting him.

Arsh looked at his plate and elegantly started serving himself. He didn't know his girlfriend could get so angry at the marriage topic.

Noor sensed the oddness and realized everyone was silent. Rooney whispered to her, "You should at least push him off the building." And silently laughed.

While the youngsters silently laughed at the couple, elders were utterly mute glancing at Noah. They prayed for Noor's livelihood that night without taking her angry huff seriously. 

After dinner, all watched Noah taking away Noor with him. Naira and Norah followed them without understanding what was going on in Noah's mind.

Arsh earned double smacks from two women for teasing Noor with the marriage topic. And he understood it wasn't the topic to be made fun of. 

He thought to call Noor and apologize. Then he shrugged off. He decided to sneak into her bedroom and apologize for his mistake, face to face and clear her that he was just teasing. He didn't want to pressure her.
