185 End of dirty games (1/2)
Aarvi entered the top floor to feel the Antarctic cold air and all secretaries' faces had fallen and were too busy to even raise their heads to see her arrival and greet.
'What might have happened?' Aarvi thought and remembered Aaron hadn't dropped a single message or called to ask if she had lunch.
She knocked her forehead for burying herself in work and getting busy with Dax and Zain. Deciding she shouldn't repeat the same, she saw Milo Wen's hurriedly exit the office room while his forehead dripped with sweat beads.
Milo Wen wasn't a man to easily falter for small things and he handles some big problems himself without troubling Aaron so she realized Aaron's mood will be deep down in the pit.
She adjusted her mood to make her man happy and to help him if needed.
Her current mission - see Aaron smile happily.
Milo Wen's lips gaped when his eyes landed on Aarvi. First, he smiled seeing her casual instead of angry, which means she wasn't bothered about leaking Mia Craft's information. He didn't know Aarvi had long expected Mia to drop out of the movie as soon as she attacked Billy Craft.
But Milo glanced inside the office room and yammered in his mind, 'Bad time, bad time. Lady President, why did you have to come now?' He thought and opened the door wide for her. How could he ask her to leave? So he hoped everything would be calm and settled instead of a real volcano eruption.
Aarvi saw Aaron passing by from one end of the office to another but paused feeling the gaze. Seeing his gentle smile involuntarily appear in her presence, Aarvi's eyes twinkled as her lips curved gracefully.
Her mission to make Aaron smile - Checked. Effortlessly.
She nodded when she heard Milo Wen's voice to greet her, she reached straight to Aaron's arms and wrapped her hands around his neck.
Milo Wen: ”...”
He prayed that Aarvi and Aaron's mood stays the same. Sigh. He closed the door and went to do his work.
A cheeky smile adorned her little face looking at Aaron as she revealed, ”I didn't know my boyfriend is petty too.” She giggled adorably and melted the man who was in front of her.
Aaron knew she wouldn't be angry for Mia Craft's end. If not for him, Leon would have handled her later. The sooner the better.
”Nothing is trivial when it's about you.” He responded before embracing her.
She knows he gives importance to every little thing of hers but the smile which she had and wanted for Aaron didn't stay for long.
She felt an intense gaze on her causing her to be alert even in Aaron's embrace. Aaron's smile was replaced with frostiness when her happy mood dropped due to an unwelcome guest in his office.
He hates her serene expression that always has confidence and determination. He wondered if she is scared of anything.
Aaron didn't care about the man, he cupped her face turning her gaze to him.
Aarvi who could feel Aaron's displeasure didn't want to aggravate it more. Both can't be cold and merciless, one needed to be light while the other one in the dark. One to make the other one happy so she chose to ignore Nico Burton.
Aaron's tensed brow settled seeing her smile at him, ”Ignore.” His voice wasn't low but was tender as his gaze looked at her. He pecked on her forehead without caring what Nico Bruton will be thinking.
Aarvi beamed hearing him as she stated, ”Why do you think I will care about an annoying fly?”
Aaron smirked which reached the man's eyes whose face was darkening in disbelief.
Aarvi continued poking Aaron's nose going back to his embrace, completely ignoring Nico's presence, ”Your mood is definitely troubled by the fly. Shall I chop its wing?” She raised an eyebrow at him.
Aaron knew she wasn't joking and a nod of his head was enough to pull the trouble on the whole Burton family.
However, he held her little face gently caressing her cheek with his thumb as he shook his head, ”You don't have to waste a second on it.”
Aarvi and Aaron could feel the murderous gaze on them for repeatedly looking down on Nico Burton as a fly but Aarvi chuckled.
She has no enmity for Nico Bruton, in fact, she respects him for standing for his friend but he was stepping out of his boundaries just because he finds things fishy and mysterious.
