Chapter 77 - Provoking The Dragon Is Deadly



'Is she happy due to my presence?' Aeon knew the answer to it. He lowered his head towards the paper with lots of dilemmas in his head.

Aarvi doubted if he is capable of handling Harmon Industries if she managed to pull his brother down the throne looking at Aeon blankly watching the paper. 

She had an afternoon plan to meet someone special from her past so she spoke to bring him to reality, "President Harmon, take your time and sign. You can drop these papers..."

'Beep' Aarvi continued to speak as her eyes scanned the screen, "...at the chief secretary. He will hand-"

Aarvi stopped speaking after seeing Aaron's name, [Any plans for Lunch?] Aarvi knew well he wanted to have lunch with her.

She gave it a quick thought and smiled to herself, [I have plans. Don't skip your lunch.] Then she opened another chat and typed a message, [Take Aaron to Norma's for lunch. Thank you.]

Then she raised her head to see Aeon intently watching her. She didn't bother by it, "I am sorry, it was an important message. Yeah, take your time to go through the clauses, if you want changes, let the chief secretary know. If not, sign it and hand the papers to collect the Demand draft. You don't have to visit Skylar every time, contact the secretary, I will get to know from him."

As soon as she finished, she stood up and mentioned another relevant matter, "I have reserved Skylar's indoor studios for the shoot... I have significant work to attend, I will take my leave. Have a good day."

"You... too..." Before he could finish he saw her march out in a hurry but in elegance and a subtle smile on her face. Just like that in three minutes, his problems solved and another favor from Aarvi added on.

'Don't I hate her? Why am I attracted to her?' Aeon thought to himself as her lissom figure moved out of his sight. He understood one thing, never say no to President Evans when she offers anything in business because she wouldn't only gain profit, she would improve the situation of the other one.

Aeon really wished to have someone in his life like Aarvi who provides him peace of mind. He frowned deeper by his own thought and shook his head trying to remove Aarvi off his mind.

He quickly sent pictures to his advocate and he also read the papers. He didn't find any problem in the paper and his advocate said the same so he signed and collected the demand draft. Asking his assistant to visit the bank, he dealt with company stuff and arranged for the shoot to commence immediately.

What he didn't know was Aarvi had arranged an assistant director for him who was an expert at cinematography. She didn't have doubt in Aeon's expertise but a talented assistant would lower his burden helping him to focus better. 

Aarvi wasn't helping him, she wanted the movie quality to be exceptional, announcing Skylar entering the Media and entertainment through investments.

--- At Norma's ---

Norma's restaurant is between Rivas and Skylar headquarters about two miles so Aarvi left early to reach first. She ordered and calmly waited in the private room until Aaron entered talking on his phone instructing somebody about a project.

Aaron had no idea why Secretary Wen drove to Norma's for lunch. He had just hummed when he told him he is driving to that restaurant. Without a single thought, Aaron hung up the call saying, "My secretary will contact you."

Milo Wen: 'President Rivas, you have changed so much. I don't want to be a scapegoat.' 

In the past, Aaron would have continued to speak looking at Aarvi unlike pushing the work on him without thinking he was talking with the CEO of another company.

"So this is the plan of President Evans." Aaron fondly rubbed her head sitting next to her at the round table. Aarvi hummed, placing a sanitizer on the table, "Need it?" She asked teasingly.

Aaron remembered the morning unreceived kiss, he turned to the secretary who was standing without knowing whether to sit with them or just go to the common restaurant to avoid hearing them.

Aarvi spoke pointing to a chair, "Secretary Wen, have a seat. I ordered for three."

Aaron just plainly looked at his secretary who flustered looking at his stare and understood the order behind it, "Ms.Evans, I had my lunch early. I will wait outside."

Aaron was satisfied by his secretary's evasion, Aarvi could only nod and Milo Wen ran out of Aaron's sight. Nobody knows how cold-hearted and ruthless Aaron is other than Milo Wen. Even if everyone says he is mild, Milo has seen the ruthless side of Aaron.

'Provoking the dragon is deadly.' Milo thought to himself and peacefully had his lunch chatting with his wife on phone.

Aarvi was serving Aaron when he pulled her chair closer to face each other. Aaron thought she might fluster but Aarvi was offbeat, "I see, you are no cold, unemotional boring man."

Even though he was surprised, Aaron wanted to give back what he got ignoring her indifference which she tried to distract him away from what he was doing.

Aarvi thought her plan succeeded seeing him surprised but he went closer as she moved back. "What are you doing?" She tried to push but Aaron held her hands watching her slowly turn rose pink.

When his eyes moved on her lips, "I had said no kissing." Aarvi's low voice sounded like a murmur of a kid's complaint.

A low sexy voice rang in her ear, "You HAD said." Her eyes widened when there was less than an inch between their face and her cheeks started to burn hot while her heart started pounding faster.

Aaron enjoyed each second of his slow torture on her who was holding her breath blushing scarlet.

His face titled angularly brushing her nose with his and moved a little closer to meet her lips. Aarvi couldn't hold herself from closing her eyes unknowingly expecting the kiss.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Five seconds...

Aaron's indifferent voice sounded, "What are you doing? Food is getting cold."

Aarvi flung her eyelids open and saw Aaron watching her in confusion sitting relaxedly on his chair. She really wanted the earth to swallow her down, she glowered, "Aaron Rivas."

Feeling wronged, she started punching him and passed a proclamation, "I am never going to kiss you. Hmph."

Aaron laughed seeing her puffed bright red cheeks carrying embarrassment and anger. He wanted to know if there is shyness left but he didn't provoke her further. "I wanted to place a napkin. Don't dirty your clothes."

Aarvi saw a napkin on her lap, she grabbed it and balled it up. She grimly announced throwing it at him, "I am not talking to you." She turned her head away and started stuffing her mouth.

'Which idiot says Aaron is a boring and simple man? I want to chop that man's tongue.' She had thought she could bully him all their life but she was bullied instead.

Whatever her statements were before, it turned into vain when Aaron started talking about delicacy on the table.

.....

At Norma's reception after lunch, "Where are you going now?" Aarvi asked while waiting for their car to arrive.

"Hospital! Do you want to come there?" 

Aarvi grinned ear to ear, "I am going to the rehabilitation center."

Aaron was quick to guess who she is going to meet. He didn't ask if everything was arranged for her to meet as she will be prepared before going, "Call me if you need anything."

Aarvi slowly revealed playing with his handcuff, "You might get a call from the chief stating I might have multiple personality disorder. Don't panic." She stuck her tongue out after she finished saying it.

Aaron wasn't sure how to react to her. Her plan seemed too interesting for the day and he was sure Aarvi was going to settle Grace Wells in the mental Asylum permanently with her mind-blowing shrewdness.

"My drama queen."

---

Aarvi's plan is exactly what Aaron guessed. 'Grace Wells, I am going to register your permanent home today.'
