182 She really loves me! (1/2)

Probably her informers and team members were enjoying the show so they updated her a little late by sending the article links.

After the end of the meeting, she entered Dax's office room rubbing between her brows thinking about the project. The island resort Aarvi wanted to get and she was preparing for it for three months wasn't showing any positive signs.

She was aware of it earlier compared to other companies but now Rivas and Harmon Industries are trying to buy it too. That doesn't mean she will ask Rivas to back out, she wasn't worried about it but she might have to visit the island to meet the owner of the resort.

She can send Dax but that old man eyes the sincerity more than the money or deal. The day of her visit would be the same day all other business heads will be present and they might have to gather for lunch too.

She needed to handle another set of people before going face to face with Leon Harmon. She wants Leon Harmon to lose control searching for her and crave for a glimpse of her when she finally shows her face to him.

She won't drop the project for Leon Harmon, never. She needs to find a way to show her sincerity and also manage as per her plans.

”President Evans, your mobile was buzzing during the meeting.” Dax's secretary placed some files on the desk and passed her mobile.

He knows if anything is serious, she will get a call, else he doesn't have to disturb her in a meeting due to messages.

”Thank you… Go and have your lunch.” Aarvi sent the secretary before opening the messages.

[Breaking news: Mia Craft is mentally unstable.]

[Mia Craft has gone crazy due to her father.]

[Is this new stunt for sympathy?]

[Mia Craft: A goddess or a psycho?]

Aarvi didn't bother opening the twenty-plus articles link she had received but started thinking who is behind it. She had all the proof and she knew Mia is completely healthy but she didn't bother wasting resources on her so who did this?

”This can't be Leon Harmon,” Aarvi mumbled to herself

Even though Leon acts in front of Aeon and also hates him, Leon gets nothing by revealing Mia's imbecility created by himself. Instead, he would have sent the real reports to Aeon so that the latter could toss her out and keep her away in disgust.

'Dax?' She shifted it off. This wasn't his style.

'Aaron?' Aarvi started chuckling at the realization, 'This man is petty too. So cute.' She thought and was smiling to herself when a secretary knocked on the door before opening it enough for his face to be visible.

”President Evans, President Harmon, Aeon Harmon is here asking to meet you or CEO Grant. Shall I wake up CEO Grant?” Aarvi doesn't meet anybody so he asked to confirm.

Dax's rest was more important than Aeon's words or her few minutes to hear Aeon. ”Send him in.” She got back to her work after instructing.

The secretary had seen her eyes twinkle when he had checked inside but it claimed the serenity hearing about Aeon. Thinking Aeon was there to trouble his President, he went to Aeon Harmon and his professional tone had a hint of hostility, ”President Harmon, you can enter… This is lunchtime so make sure to leave quickly.” He turned around and strode to his desk ignoring bewildered Aeon.

Aeon rolled his eyes for the secretary's protectiveness and went inside Dax's office but saw a slender woman working behind the glass desk on a magnificent black leather chair in her black dress. He really wanted to know why she wears only black.

He knocked on the door and asked, ”May I?”

Aarvi raised her head to look at Aeon. He wasn't haughty and self-obsessed as much as he thought of him to be. He actually had all the right to be one but the dumb man didn't know what he has and his actual net worth.

She hummed as she scribbled her signature on the paper before closing the file. She pointed to the chair opposite her grabbing another file gazing at him.

Aeon Harmon nowhere looked like he was sad by knowing about Mia but she could feel he was relieved and relaxed.

--- Previous day evening ---

After Aarvi had left the studio, Aeon completed some more scenes and was glad Mia is focusing on the character better and the retakes lowered gradually.
