Chapter 11

"Damn! That greedy woman really can't be allowed to! You've been helped, she doesn't even know herself. Just be careful, if I find her, I'll throw her into the sea!" Aiden grunted in annoyance. He has been angry ever since he found out that the story cover had been replaced with a hotter photo. 

Moreover, the girl also did not pick up the phone from him who had called her 66 times since yesterday until this afternoon. 

Aiden drove his car towards Nina's apartment which he already knew since dropping her home at that time. After arriving, Aiden was looking for a place to park his car. 

Aidenbm was waiting outside the apartment, just like a suspicious man. He wore a black hoodie and covered his head, and black glasses too. His pacing made passers-by stare at him suspiciously. 

"Where is she? Has she returned from college yet?" He thought while glancing at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. 

After 30 minutes of waiting, Aiden started to smell signs of the presence of 'Mr. Banana' who had messed up his life. 

At the crossroads, target Aiden is walking alone holding a bag. Aiden was lucky this time, his target caught off guard. That way, he could catch it easily. 

"You're caught now! Where are you running, huh? Where are you running?" He said while pulling Nina's hand who was surprised to see a strange man who she thought wanted to rob her. 

"What is this? Who are you?" 

"Don't play dumb! It's me!" Aiden immediately took off his sunglasses. 

"A-Aiden? What are you doing here?" Nina, who was shocked, was forced to play dumb, even though she already knew Aiden's intention. 

"You really can't be left alone, can you? Didn't I tell you not to-" 

"Help...! Please... help me...!" Suddenly, Nina screamed. Her screams attracted the attention of the people around them, some guy started to stare suspiciously as they approached. 

Aiden immediately let go of Nina's hand because he thought he was being cornered. 

"T-that's not it! You guys misunderstood! I'm not a criminal! I'm a debt collector, this woman doesn't want to pay her debts, so I-" 

Seeing Aiden starting to let his guard down, Nina immediately looked for an opportunity to escape and ran to avoid Aiden who was beyond her expectations, clever at finding excuses to avoid people's suspicions of him. 

"Damn it! Where are you running to...?" Aiden shouted who was forced to chase after that troublesome woman. 

Aiden and Nina are involved in a chase like dogs and cats that can overcome all kinds of obstacles while continuing to run. 

"Hoi... stop! Let's talk carefully!" Aiden shouted who was getting tired from running without stopping. 

"No...! If I quit, you will definitely force me to give you royalties! I don't want to! Anyway, I won't give a Dollar!" She shouted who was very tired. 

"Hey miserly woman! How can you think like... hah... hah..." Aiden couldn't run anymore. Because he was too tired, he had to stop and bend over while holding his knees. 

"Ouch... I'm dead! I can't run anymore!" Nina who was exhausted, stopped in the middle of the stairs, right in the city park. 

"Why am I going to such pains to chase her? What exactly am I doing?" Aiden thought. He tried to catch his breath slowly. 

"Hoi... truce...! Don't run anymore!" He shouted while walking slowly towards the stairs where Nina was sitting with the sweat that had flooded her body. 

"All right, truce!" She replied as she took out a white handkerchief from her trouser pocket and waved it. 

Aiden stood in front of Nina, looking at this woman with an expression that couldn't stop thinking about how outrageous her behavior was. 

"Why are you standing in front of me? You said truce?" 

"Who said? Our problems are not over, you must pay for all your actions!" 

"As I thought, you want to ask me for money, right? I don't want to! I've been working hard to collect money, I won't give it to you!" 

"You really are shameless, aren't you? Haha... I really can't believe there's a girl like you in this world? Just so you know, I get paid a lot of money for one photo shoot. So, don't think I'll ask your measly money that!" 

"Oh really? What proof do you have that you're very rich?" 

"You've been into my apartment, haven't you? You saw how luxurious my apartment is?" 

"But that doesn't prove that the rich are very rich!" 

"Can't you see my car? You begged me to give you a ride once and I still have two more cars. Isn't that enough to prove that I don't need your money at all?" 

"No!" 

"Ok, fine! I'll show you something!" Aiden said while taking his wallet from his trouser pocket and took out a small shiny black card called "Black Card" 

"What now? Do you still not believe it?" 

"Oh okay, all right!" Seeing the famous card that not just anyone can have it makes Nina can only swallow hard, her poor soul thrashes. 

"You still think I'm going to charge royalties?" 

"So, what do you want from me?" 

"I want you to pay for everything!" 

"With my body?" 

"W-what?" 

"In the stories I've read, a rich man like you would definitely ask a poor, helpless woman like me to pay with my body, you want me to rock with you, right?" 

"Poor woman helpless? Hahaha...you're joking, huh?" 

"No! But I already know your way of thinking. Fine, I'll open the price of 10,000 Dollars!" 

"What? What did I pay you 10,000 Dollars for?" 

"You want me to serve you, right? So, I don't want it for free, you have to pay!" 

"You really are crazy! Do you love money that much to sell your body like that?" 

"Hahaha...okey, you're not thirsty? I went to the supermarket before going home to buy a cold drink, do you want one?" 

Aiden was silent, in an instant this annoying woman changed. No, he couldn't let his guard down. This could be one of her rotten plans to melt his heart. 

"What are you planning now?" 

"Nothing! I'm just offering you a drink, but you're even prejudiced like that to me!" She said as she took out a plastic bag from her bag. 

Nina took out two cans of juice and gave one of them to Aiden who was still suspicious of her. 

"Here, take it! It's not cold anymore. But around here no one sells drinks!" 

"Fine, but just watch out if you suddenly run away again!" Aiden was forced to suppress his suspicions and accept Nina's offer. 

After chasing each other like kids, finally Aiden and Nina sat together on the park steps while looking up at the sky which was starting to turn red. 

"Beautiful, right?" Nina muttered looking at the sky above her. 

"You like watching sunsets too?" 

"Sure, but I'd rather stare at the night sky!" 

"You keep copying me, hah?" 

"Who copied you? By the way-" 

"What?" 

"I need to go to the toilet first!" 

"All right! Don't take too long!" 

"Ok!" Nina stepped into the public toilet. Leaving Aiden alone in the middle of a deserted park. 

After 15 minutes of waiting, Nina never came back, making Aiden have a bad feeling. 

"Oh no-" Aiden immediately ran to the public restroom. 

Drrrrt... drrrt... 

His phone rang, he picked it up hastily because Nina called him. 

"Hey, where are you?" 

"I'm sorry? I'll go home. Enjoy the sunset, Aiden! Hahaha..." 

"Hey, come back here...! Don't go-" 

Tit...tit... 

Call terminated. Mr Banana manages to outwit Aiden who is known as a genius at school. 

"Damn it you crazy woman...!"
