15 Everything is going wrong (2/2)
Aaron warned the very next second, ”Naomi.”
Grounding her teeth, she forced a guileful smile, ”I forgot for a movement. I'm sorry, I didn't mean...”
Aarvi always felt Naomi as complicated. She walked out without a response leaving Naomi in an awkward position while Aaron followed Aarvi.
”Don't drive. Get in my car.”
Aarvi obliged due to her ankle pain. Both left for the waterfront villa.
Naomi clenched her fist glaring at Aarvi's back. She was sure Aarvi was putting on a show for Aaron's attention. She wanted to show Aarvi's true colors so she started to work on it.
Doctor Holmes and Green had got girls and were busy flirting with them so they didn't notice Naomi. Shawn thought Naomi is heartbroken, he wanted to tell her to give up but he didn't want to complicate things between Naomi, Aarvi, and Aaron.
He played some mixes cheering the mood in the club and enjoyed till midnight before going to the penthouse of Skyarc towers where he lived alone.

In Aeon's condo
Aeon looked like a complete mess sitting on the couch in front of Jayce who was tired of calming him down.
”Aeon, legal process or settlement, both will take a toll on us. We already have to be thankful that Skylar didn't publish a statement for this... Shall I meet that girl... I mean President Evans?”
Aeon had received the bill payment details. He couldn't fetch the black card details due to high security but he got to know that the girl is Evans.
”I told her to get off my face. Do you think she will talk to me? She clearly mocked me saying 'Don't look for her.' Ugh, what the hell is going on in my life? From three years, everything is going wrong.”
Jayce looked at Parker's Heritage twenty-seven years old Bourbon on the table which was sent by Highlands. He tried to bury his laughter but started laughing, ”She is quite a character. Such an expensive drink on the second meet. How does she look?”
Aeon looked at his friend in annoyance. ”She looks like a scrap. Do you want her?”
Jayce believed it, ”Really?” He had thought rich people look flawless.
Aeon: ”...” He was really speechless. He couldn't believe his friend was worried about the looks of President Evans instead of the company.
Jayce rolled his eyes, ”Your brother already sent the cheque to pay the fine and to solve the Amiah's crisis.”
He kept cheque on the coffee table and continued, ”I thought you would get angry so I didn't show it to you thinking to meet that President or CEO or the legal team.”
Aeon checked the number of zeros on the cheque. He was impressed. His brother will go to any length to save him from the problem.
Jayce continued in a convincing tone, ”Instead of bowing and begging that girl, why not brother's support? Aeon, think wisely, and solve this quicker.”
Aeon gave it a thought and felt Jayce was right. Solving the Skylar issue without having to face that annoying president sounded like a good deal. ”You are right. Why dance on her fingertips when we can kick her aside?”
Jayce finally beamed when the problem solved, ”Exactly!”
