[The next day]

Elena bumps into Aiden, while on her way to work.

"Elena, you have been avoiding me since the day we last spent in the pub. What's the matter?"
Aiden looks devastated.

"It's nothing. I just realised, we are not made for each other."
Elena tries to cut the conversation short and walks away.

Aiden quickly grabs onto her arms.
"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Why can't you just leave me alone? I said, we are not compatible."

Aiden frowns.
"May I know why we are not compatible? What made me so small in your eyes?"

Elena now gets furious.
"It's not that you are small in my eyes.... But your past is shadowing your present. You may not remember, but I can't betray my friend for a guy I just met."

"What about my past?"
Aiden holder Elena's hands tighter.

"You don't need to know. If you really want to know, ask your brother who knows all of it. Just leave me alone!"
Elena tries to shake her hands off from Aiden's tight grip, but fails.

Unable to think of anything else, she pushes Aiden and he falls on the ground, while hitting his head on the ground.

.......... What has she done?

Elena quickly takes Aiden and admits him in a hospital.

-----------------------------------------------------------

[After a few hours]

Elena visits Aiden, who has been given on the general bed.

"Aiden, how do you feel now?"
Elena asks as she sits beside Aiden, feeling guilty of her actions.

Aiden smiles and nods, signifying he feels well.

"When will I be discharged?"
He asks.

"The doctor said that it's nothing serious, and you'll be discharged today only."

Aiden smiles at that, his eyes glowing up.

"I'm sorry Elena, but can you leave me alone now? I just feel like I need a little rest."
Aiden hesitates.

"Yeah... Sure. I'll check up on you later."
Elena leaves.

Aiden now takes out his phone and searches up a name,
Kate Wilson.

-----------------------------------------------------------

[The next day]

[At the office]

Aiden calls Kate inside his room.

"Yes sir, you called me?"
Kate asks as she enters Aiden's room.

Aiden offers her to take a seat.

"I have seen your working capability. To be mentioned, I'm more than just impressed. You know, I treat special employees like this to a meal. It's a special chance, so think about it."

Kate doesn't think much of this and agrees. This may offer her better chances in the future.

"Yeah sir. I would totally love that."
Kate replies.

"Then after work, let's go the Sky High Restaurant for a dinner."
Aiden smiles.

Sky High Restaurant? That is a really expensive place to eat at.
Even the dessert there costs more than what a normal person would eat as his/her whole lunch course.

Still Kate agrees. Eating at Sky High maybe a normal thing for someone like Aiden Anderson.

-----------------------------------------------------------

[After office hours]

Kate just got out of the office when an expensive car pulls over, right in front of her.
The window pane slides down, revealing the one sitting on the driver's seat.
Aiden.

"Get in the car"
Aiden opens the door.
Kate sits on the seat beside Aiden's.

They both head inside the restaurant.

Aiden asks Kate to order anything.

Just water costs more than a burger that she eats when she feels hungry.

She asks Aiden to order.

"Two special courses"

Kate looks at the menu to search for the special courses.

Okay! She is done.... That costs the amount of money she earns in 5-6 months, that means, she has to sacrifice half of her yearly salary to eat just a dinner. What the hell?!

"What are you thinking?"
Aiden asks Kate, who was dissolved in her thoughts.

"No nothing!"

"Sir, I have a new idea for our next theme. The summer theme."

Aiden leans closer to the table as he gets interested.
"Let's hear it out"

"For the summer theme, everyone will go for warm tones. We can go for cool tones."

"Cool tones for summer theme?"

"Yes sir. Look... We can make the base layer of cool tones and then overlay it with neutral colour designs ........................................................................................ So, do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it."
Aiden agrees to go with Kate's idea.
