32 Untouchable (1/2)
Sunbathing in the early morning warm rays falling on her delicate skin, breathing in the fresh and cool air, Aarvi was cold pressing her swollen eyes instead of yoga.
When Aaron finished his gym and went near the pool, she was still sitting with her cold ice pack. Opening her one eye but she again shut it feeling embarrassed. She had cried in arms for a long time before dozing off. He hadn't even dared to leave her alone in the room and rested on her day bed.
Aaron didn't have any mood to bring up such memories but seeing her blush in awkwardness after seeing him, a smile crept on his face.
He had lapped five times when he asked tousling his wet hair, ”Breathing exercise?”
Aarvi shook her head and scurried away making him chuckle.
'Doozy'
He started seeing her different expressions unlike serene so he was happy everything was going good.
At the breakfast table, Aarvi got Zain (Apple Pie)'s call. She saw Aaron after seeing her mobile near him. He answered it on the speaker seeing her both hands busy holding a toast and butter knife.
”Morning Sunshine!”
Aarvi quickly cleared her mouth and wished, ”Good Morning.”
”I am sending the Shares papers to your private office with a man who would ask for your signature pretending it to be the registered post. Alright?”
”Okay. I will manage the rest.”
Zain asked since he hadn't heard anything, ”Pumpkin, what about Sean Harmon?”
Aarvi almost bumped her head on the table thinking about it but stopped herself knowing Aaron's eyes were on her, ”I scolded him and ran away. Thankfully there was nothing on the table else I would have smashed it on his head. So change in plan. I will meet him after I stabilize Amiah Entertainment.”
There was weird silence before Zain spoke, ”Alright! Lots of hugs and kisses. Bye.”
She shook her head in resignation and took a spoon full of her healthy oats after the piece of bacon toast. Aaron asked hesitantly without showing it on his face or voice, ”Who is Apple Pie?”
Aarvi merely glanced at him, ”Cousin.”
'Cousin? Zain Kelly?' Aaron had heard about him from little Aarvi.
”Oh!” He was satisfied with the answer. Initially, he had thought Shawn or Dax might be in love with her but Shawn had cleared everything, in the beginning, saying they were more like bros. Then this Apple Pie had quite an ambush identity.
”Why Apple Pie?”
Aarvi was surprised to see his interest in her Apple Pie. ”He loves to eat Apple Pie.”
Aaron just nodded resting his heart at ease. At the end of the day, she is a lot more comfortable with him but that 'Doctor' tag needs to be removed quickly.

At Amiah Entertainment
Aeon was curious hearing Amiah's new shareholder was sitting in his office waiting for him. He had to quickly freshen up and reached the office to see Jayce arguing with tall, well-built bodyguards in black gear.
”What is going on here?”
His voice stopped Jayce in his tracks and was still fearful to face Aeon. Darting his eyes around, he reported, ”These two are bodyguards and they aren't letting me inside.” He has to quickly report to Leon about the new shareholder of the company.
