184 Sister-in-law (1/2)
However, he was spellbound looking at her smile void of stiffness but filled with innocence. He didn't know just the arrival of this man could bring so much happiness for her.
Aarvi twirled her swivel chair aside and went to the man who glanced at Aeon Harmon whose emotions had extreme changes by looking at the pretty little lady. It didn't take long for him to guess Aeon was unawarely falling for her.
The man turned to Aarvi who had increased her height wearing the sky-high heels that avoided him bending to tease her height, ”My Sun is shining brightly today.” Zain Kelly remarked to the smile of his little sister and hugged her who cheekily said, ”See, I am tall today.” for placing her chin on his shoulder.
Then she added after unwrapping her arms, ”And I love surprises.”
Before Zain could say, a disgruntled tone sounded at the end of the office room, ”Tsk tsk, you never got so happy seeing me.”
Aarvi and Zain chuckled due to his complaint and remembered the other person when Dax peeked slightly to get a glimpse of the man.
Zain also knew Aeon Harmon and both greeted each other, ”Zain Kelly, long time.”
”Indeed.” Zain shook Aeon's hand while Dax was confused about how Aeon Harmon knows Zain Kelly. Aarvi knew Zain and Aeon studied in the same boarding school.
Aarvi spoke before another word from each other, ”Is there anything else, President Harmon?” Her voice and expression were back to serene and professional causing Dax and Zain to silently chuckle.
Aeon noticed the difference too and checked the time on his wristwatch, He was getting late so, ”Nothing, I will get going.” He again shook Zain's hand, ”We will hang out next time.”
While Zain agreed, ”Sure!” Aeon nodded at Dax as a greet before leaving the office room by strongly believing Aarvi's boyfriend is Zain Kelly.
Sending Dax and Zain to the couch, Aarvi completed two more files and joined the two for lunch which Zain had ordered to bring. After a sumptuous meal, Zain revealed what had happened in the Kelly mansion.
Dax tried his best but laughed his ass off hearing Hayden playing by words and punished the couple all night. Now the couple was in the hospital unable to straighten their cramped legs and severe cold.
But the men noticed Aarvi vaguely smile and having complete disinterest in the Kelly family.
Zain continued after it without commenting on her behavior, ”Do you guys think their cold is because of staying out all night?” That actually picked Aarvi's interest.
He sighed internally and continued, ”Artificial rain at the Mocon West.”
Aarvi and Dax glanced at each other and burst into laughter, ”This is definitely Shawn.” Aarvi guessed between her laughter. Dax and Aarvi high-fived, remembering their crazy friend.
Zain was impressed how the duo knew Shawn so well so he asked to change the topic, ”How did you guess?”
Aarvi was still chuckling when Dax said, ”He flirts with that girl so that he could be a rain god and make rain whenever he wants.”
Zain: ”...”
'It's illegal. You guys know that, right?' He thought.
Zain had actually thought the president or heir of the company did it on Aaron's instructions until he got to know it's the spoiled daughter of the family. He was speechless because the two friends didn't seem to stop Shawn from doing such things.
After a little more talk, Dax got back to work while Zain spoke to her privately in a conference room, ”Pumpkin, it's not safe to play them.” He said about Aarvi's next day plan. It was very dangerous for her identity and her life. A small mishap can cost her way too much. And she wasn't ready to let any of his men handle it in her place.
Nevertheless, he saw the determination in her while gazed at the city from the top floor of Skylar, ”I don't think they will be reckless to provoke me.” Her voice had left her liveliness and sounded dark and mystic.
Zain could feel her oppressing, dark, sinful vibe replacing her lightheartedness and mischievousness. He always felt the same through calls but witnessing it live, he clenched his fist when he gave a second thought to even make a comment.
