Chapter 401 - Devilmaycare
After doubting the view from the bay window, Shea turned to go to the bathroom.
Her jaws dropped looking at the same structure bedroom as in Aarvi's penthouse. This bedroom had an open bathroom connected to the huge walk-in wardrobe.
As far as she remembered, Skyarc had four apartment buildings but the three were shorter and they were behind the main building.
The two penthouses were specially designed under Aaron's younger brother's instructions so she was sure there can't be another replica of it.
She was paled when she slowly turned to the man who was laying on the bed. He was still sleeping on the bed like a prince waiting for handmaids to wake him up and get him ready.
She now understood why she found his facial features pretty familiar. 'Because he is Shawn Rivas.' Her mind screamed at her.
She shook her head vigorously, she didn't want it to be the truth because she will work in Rivas Hospitals and frequently meet Aaron. It will lead her to meet his younger brother too.
She clutched her hair roots in horror, she has to go to the Rivas mansion for lunch with Nikun and his parents.
Shea felt like screaming in discontent. She wanted to leave from there but she will face him sooner or later. She won't be able to face him as if nothing happened when they had flirted too much and done almost the whole night.
'How to confirm this?' She thought.

'Internet.' An idea popped up almost instantly before looking around. She remembered her bag must be dying on the cold floor downstairs.
She went to the balcony and sat in the lounge. Damn, she slept with Aaron's brother? She never had a one-night stand with known people so she didn't know how to react or how 'DJ Prince' aka Shawn Rivas would react.
'How would I know Shawn Rivas would be a DJ and a bartender too?' She thought. She was actually amazed by his talent.
'Okay, last test.' She tiptoed towards the next penthouse bedroom bua connected balcony and peeked inside.
Shea saw Aaron in confusion and the back of the slender frame sitting on the bed moving her forefinger straight and crooked.
Shea walked back like a soul-lost body to the room of Prince who she had spoiled all night. She slumped on the bed thinking how to wake him up and what to talk about.
She initially wanted to leave without his aware but now, she wanted to clear and communicate properly before they face each other next time.
'Behave like an adult.' She told herself to be determined and be cool. She turned to him but her hand froze. She didn't know where to touch.
And he was so peacefully sleeping that she felt bad to wake him up and felt like crying for putting herself into that situation.
Did she regret their night?
No, absolutely not.
If she wasn't going to stay in Mocon or work at Rivas hospital, then she would have escaped from there without a word.
After much contemplation, she looked at Shawn and kicked him off the bed.
Why should only she think of all that and be in trouble? Hmph.
'Thump.'
Shawn who fell on the carpet thought the woman might be acting up in sleep. He gritted his teeth and stood up in anger for waking him up from good sleep.
"What the f**k," He cursed right after realizing she did it on purpose.
Shea, who wanted to blurt out everything, felt her throat dry. 'Damn, why should he have such a breathtaking body?' She had only felt those defined lines of abs, the ceiling lights weren't so bright to have a good look at them in the night.
Shawn hissed in annoyance, "Did you kick me awake to drool?" He rolled his eyes. He wanted to sleep a little longer before going to the Rivas mansion.
Shea shut her lips. She would have spat back if the man was different but the man had a drool-worthy body, so she doubted herself if she was drooling and brushed her dry lips with her backhand.
Embarrassed Shea: "..."
She wasn't actually drooling but had such a face.
Shawn remembered why she was still here and sounded irritated purposefully even though he didn't actually care, "What the f**k are you still doing here? You even had the audacity to wake me up like this."
Shea snapped back and shushed him, "Shhh… Will you please shut your lips for a moment and let me speak?"
Shawn: "..."
He really wasn't talking nonstop. It was her who was lost savoring her view and her view was shirtless him.
Anyway, he spat back to know the reason behind her behavior. "Do you need a special announcement before you speak?"
Shea: "..."
Their chemistry was too good till she realized he was Shawn Rivas. She deciphered it was her childish behavior that irritated him so she deeply sighed.
"I am sorry." She apologized for her behavior and saw his brow raise at her, waiting for her to come to the point.
"Do you know Nikun Morris? Brother Aaron's best friend?" She asked.
Shawn's back stiffened hearing 'Brother Aaron.' before he exclaimed pointing her finger at Shea, "Shea Morris!?"
Nikun had told Shawn that Shea, his cousin had liked the penthouses, unfortunately, two brothers had occupied both. That's how he knows her name.
Shea nodded in acknowledgment and saw him tousle his hair thinking about the situation.
She saw him enter the walk-in and return wearing a t-shirt. He paced for less than a minute before he shrugged, "I didn't know who you were. My brother will understand our situation. So no issues from my side."
For unknown reasons, Shea's face fell. She was clueless about what she was expecting either. She didn't know why she was so engrossed thinking about how to face Shawn and what he would think of her.
And there he was, he made it sound like nothing.
Shawn noticed the liveliness from her eyes replaced with emptiness. All his flings were unrelated to his family and friends so it was the first time he was facing the situation.
He had tried to keep it as simple as possible without making it complex as both had started their night purely for physical pleasure.
He didn't know what was going on in her head other than offering help, "I can talk to Brother Nick if you think he will scold you if he gets to know this."
Shea shrugged and walked towards the door of the bedroom, "I am sorry." She will also treat this as if nothing happened.
Shawn frowned at her behavior. He understood the first sorry was because of her behavior, the second one?
His voice turned piercingly frosty, "Sorry for?" If it was for the night, he would really give her across the face and kick her out.
Having fun in the night was their choice, he would never weigh a person's character by it. In fact, he actually liked her wild, devil-may-care nature. But this sorry had huge weight.
Shea felt even down by his cold and indifference. She responded why she said sorry without turning to face him, "For kicking you off the bed. And thank you for letting me stay." She wasn't an ungrateful b*tch.
She walked away without waiting for the response or uttering an extra word.
'May we never meet again.' She didn't want to have complex thoughts.
