The Traps of Black Swan

The next day

Starting the day harmoniously, Aarvi wanted to tease Aaron before leaving. The latter saw her peeking in the bedroom when he was almost ready. "What's cooking?"

Aarvi entered inside casually and stood in front of him who was debonair and suave in his tailored slim fit business suit, "I want to give you something."

His curiosity rose by hearing her tone filled with palatableness and blushing attractively, "And it is?!"

Stepping closer to Aaron, she stood on her toes while her left-hand slowly brushed his right arm down till his palm. Aaron awaited a kiss on his cheek when she was just a few inches away. Her breath brushed on his cheek but she was too deliberate building up the curiosity.

Probably he never anticipated anything so much in such a short time but the bubble burst when his palm felt cold and her cheeky tone rang near his ear, "Sanitizer!"

Aarvi ran out quickly laughing her heart out waving her hand while Aaron yapped, "Aarvi Evans!"

Melia who watched completely had seen Aarvi holding a sanitizer bottle so she burst into laughter. Aarvi didn't have a habit of using sanitizer repeatedly and Melia was going to keep the sanitizer in Aaron's study room but it was taken away by Aarvi.

"Aunty Melia!" Aaron grimly said to stop her from laughing.

Melia chuckled entering the room and asked with a smile, "Young master! when are you two getting married?"

He faced her after taking his laptop bag. He was ready to marry anytime she wanted, "Depends on Aarvi. If I feel she is ready, I will propose to her else she will propose." Aaron knows Aarvi is somebody who doesn't wait for him to initiate and she would openly tell him what she needs once she is clear about it.

Melia was the opposite. According to her, the man should take responsibility to pamper and take care of the proposal things. But that wasn't her concern, she wanted them to live happily.

She reported another thing, "Young master, the tree swing bed you had ordered for Miss is arriving today. Yesterday they checked the age of the tree to make sure it could carry the pressure. They took the measurement, clamped the hooks and it will be ready by evening."

Aaron wasn't sure if it was a good or bad habit that Aarvi naps without a dream during the day and she sleeps quickly outdoors in the fresh air than indoors. So he had checked and ordered a diamond-shaped cage architecture swing fitted with a mattress and pillows. She could use just lying in it or swing it.

"Alright aunty Melia, if Aarvi comes home early, show her once. I will talk to her when she is free." Aaron responded as both exited his room downstairs.

Melia contemplated saying, "Young Master, Old master is angry that you are not visiting him..." She wanted to continue to say the Old master wanted to arrange a marriage for Aaron but she didn't. She didn't want Aaron to worry about it.

Aaron hadn't met him because he didn't want to argue with him about Aarvi. Now they are together so, "I will meet grandfather this weekend."

At Skylar International

Since Dax was monitoring the EBony project deal and the bid, Aarvi went to Skylar International to handle the meeting. After assigning some new work and checking the progress Aarvi instructed about other works, "This is confidential information and nobody out of Skylar should know we are aiming to enter the international market. I want the market data and current status report on Palm Island resort."

All were excited to know about Skylar spreading to another country. A director spoke, "President Evans, I visited there last week. It is indeed true the resort is on sale but the current owner of the resort isn't easy to handle. Instead of a business mind, we have to tackle the owner skilfully."

Aarvi was never disappointed by her top management employees. Whatever the director said was totally true. "Mr.Wang lost his wife and son in an airplane crash. He doesn't have anybody to hand over his resort so he wants somebody who knows the value of the resort and especially the island. One who can satisfy him mentally and emotionally will be capable of winning on the business deal but the report about everything should be accurate so that we don't lack anywhere."

All nodded in appreciation watching Aarvi whose fingers were bouncing on the keyboard while notifying. They always knew if they take ten steps, Aarvi stays another ten steps ahead unlike other companies waiting for the employees to do all the work and approves sitting on the chair.

"R&D, contact the amusement park to collect the shareholders' information." The information provider of Aarvi is a top-notch who gathers when any eligible company shareholders think about selling the shares. 

The process to get the shares isn't difficult but she got information that Aeon is holding a large portion of it and he doesn't know it. As she knows Leon Harmon just showing fake brotherly love to both Sean and Aeon, she wanted to find the reason why he was faking it.

She would never leave a chance to escape from her fingers if her business helps to bring those families down or the investigation of those families helps her to spread her business.

The meeting was still on when a secretary whispered near her ear, "President Evans, President Harmon is in the waiting room asking for today's appointment even if it's five minutes."

Aarvi had thought she might have to create a chance or might have to visit Amiah Entertainment as a shareholder. Aarvi knew well he came to her for the investment and the brand partnership because she wouldn't take Leon Harmon's name and care about the business.

"Send him to the fourth meeting room. Get the file I brought today. Thank you." Aarvi instructed before concentrating back on the current meeting. "I am refusing the weekend sale proposal at the MOM1. The shopping festival was just over fifteen days back, why did I still get the file for approval? If other companies pressure us, contact Rivas Industries for cooperation and solve it."

"President Evans, the Craft Company is trying to bring troubles and asking us to give them a few outlets and argued with CEO Grant in the board meeting of MOM. Hence the file pushed up for your rejection."

Aarvi frowned upon hearing it. If her guess is right, Leon was pushing the Craft Company CEO to speak up. Aarvi smirked hearing it, "Prepare papers for transfer of the 5 outlets to the Crafts..."

All the directors looked at each other without understanding what she was up to. Aarvi projected her laptop view on the large screen, "... in exchange for Vision tower top fifteen blocks. If they don't agree, warn them to stay out of our way."

All the director chuckled hearing her. The vision tower was the fifth tallest building in Mocon and the top fifteen floors are Craft company headquarters. Ignoring the warning from Skylar International is the same as fighting for the survival of their market position. Aarvi is cruel when it comes to people who try to create trouble for Skylar if they aren't professional enough.

The meeting soon ended and Aarvi collected the file she had asked the secretary to get and went alone to meet Aeon who was pacing anxiously.

Aarvi knew he would be ready with a long speech to convince her but she placed the file on the table and spoke first, "Sign." Then she sat on the head seat and unscrewed the water bottle cap to drink water.

Aeon astounded how direct and sleek she cut off everything to a single word when she had a chance to hear him request her. He still greeted her, "President Evans."

Aarvi glanced at him and pointed to the seat for him to sit and examine the clauses but her lips twitched when he directly signed on it. Before he could sign another one, she declaimed, "President Harmon, how much ever you trust or know a person in business, first learn to go through the agreement papers. Do you want me to teach you the basics?"

Aeon was stunned by how easily he signed the first paper. To be fact, he always makes sure his lawyers checked every paper he signs but a glimpse of Aarvi, he trusts her irrespective of how she imperiously and cold-heartedly treats him.

That type of trust he had on only one and she is no more. He even forgets the girl who is dear to his heart just by looking at Aarvi.

He might not have met Aarvi for a long time and met her only a single hand finger counts, yet he could easily make out that her poker face had a hidden delight.

'Why is she happy?' but his main question is, 'Is she happy due to my presence?'
