138 Hard to solve (1/2)

Naomi who purposefully fell on her face on the soft floor rug pulled a pained expression, ”Ms. Evans, why did you trip me?”

Her yelp and the bride's cry had already attracted all the eyes on them so they couldn't understand why would Aarvi trip Naomi and pour herself a glass of wine. No sane person would do that.

Naomi, who raised her head hoping to see the ugly face of Aarvi, met Dax and Shawn's brooding gaze. 'Aarvi was right here, where did she go?'

Just then another voice sounded, ”Ms. Evans, your dress…”

Aarvi cut in before the bride could touch her, ”Don't…” She didn't finish her words and the bride stopped. The bride was very grateful for Aarvi and also sad looking at the gorgeous gown stained in red.

That's when Naomi looked in front to see Aarvi's flawlessly milky white skin at neck dripping the wine that flew down staining the plain ivory gown.

Even though Aarvi knew Naomi doesn't like her, she didn't mind it. She wasn't living to please everyone or gain favor. But she didn't like how her actions were disturbing the wedding and emotions of the bride.

Naomi still wanted to blame Aarvi to avoid others laughing at her clumsiness but she had overestimated herself.

Shawn noticed the senior doctor in the hall and smirked, ”Sister Naomi, look at how clumsy you are. Now I am scared to refer you to any of my friends in need.”

That picked the right ears that need to be heard and Naomi flustered. She was still an assistant surgeon and never got a chance to lead an operation. What Shawn said could really affect her career.

She desperately wanted to justify to save her skin”No, Shawn. I was careful. It's that Ms. Evans stretched her…”

”Leg?” Dax cut in coldly trembling Naomi who forced herself to keep calm watching them from the floor. ”Doctor Fisher, do we look like dumb or blind? Why will she trip and pour wine on herself?”

”...” Aarvi was trying to subdue the mess created by Naomi but her two friends were out on seeking justice for her. 'Oh my musketeers, I am proud of you.' She laughed to herself.

Naomi saw others giving smiles and nods of gratitude at Aarvi while she wanted everyone to hate her, blame her, and curse her. And she wanted others to feel pity and sympathy for herself but got a furrowed and disgruntled gazes with none helping her up.

Actually many would have helped her if she hadn't started blaming Aarvi and just put on her act of tripping herself.

Naomi instinctively wanted to enter back the room but Aarvi uttered coldly while her expression was placid as a summer sea. ”Naomi Fisher.”

Naomi uttered before Aarvi could even ask anything, ”Ms. Evans, I really felt something at my leg when I fell down. I didn't mean to blame you.”

Aarvi crossed her arms and leaned back on the railing gazing at Naomi. If Aarvi really wanted to play Naomi, she could easily make sure to ruin her whole career and fall her down in everyone's gaze.

Truthfully, Aarvi felt Naomi's actions justified because whether she loves Aaron or his looks or his status, she was possessive of Aaron. It was common to be jealous of Aarvi who entered Aaron's life out of nowhere when Noami silently waited for Aaron.

Maybe Aarvi went through too much. She is mature enough to think openly hence she pitied Naomi instead of getting angered. ”Ms. Fisher, you should confess to Aaron. There is nothing wrong with taking a step and telling you about your feelings.” Her tone carried no emotion, not even coldness.

Then Aarvi turned and left without a word extra after gazing at the astonishment of Naomi. She hoped Naomi would confess and hear Aaron's response. It would be helpful for her to move on or know she doesn't have a chance.

She cared to advise Naomi because she wasn't as evil as she needed punishment. If she chooses the wrong path and tries to provoke her, she is ready to shun her.

Naomi who stood and watched Aarvi disappear from the sight heard a light cough and turned to see Shawn and Dax leaning lazily standing.

Shawn hummed first, ”Sister Naomi, Little heart is right.” He knew why Aarvi advised Naomi when she could have shunned Naomi permanently, ”Troubling her doesn't get you anything.” Shawn walked away hoping Naomi doesn't ruin their years of relationship with her pettiness.

However Dax wasn't soft-hearted, ”Doctor Fisher, you know nothing about Dum Dum so don't assume.” He straightened his cuffs and walked off warning her coldly, ”You will never know when you will be in the grave if you continue this.”

In the place of understanding their words, Naomi felt insulted by three. She also assumed the boy who used to talk to her with a smile was looking down on her due to Aarvi. She justified Shawn's action to herself, 'Aarvi definitely manipulated Shawn.'

She was the right example of a dog's tails that can never be straight.
