The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi spending time with Lara gave ample time for the Dalton couple to completely rearrange their schedules and work to give maximum time for Lara.

Aaron had dropped her a message when the flight landed in the City Coasta. He asked to be unbothered about the case and rest well. Aarvi didn't make him worry and just dropped him a message as [Take care.]

Keeping Lara happy, making her laugh, or busy with learning something new, Aarvi didn't realize it was dinner time until Mr. Daltson brought dinner for all.

----

At Rivas mansion,

The housekeeper Melia hadn't seen Aarvi since Sunday so she breathed a sigh seeing her completely healthy and fine, "Miss, we were so afraid thinking something happened to you. Shall I prepare supper for you? Did you have dinner?..."

Aarvi chuckled seeing her worried for nothing that made maids peek at them in concern, "Aunt Melia, I had dinner and I am full. It's getting late, please go and rest."

Melia wanted to say something but controlled, she sent Aarvi and went to her room.

After playing and bathing her Laze, Aarvi took a bath and laid on her bed. Since she is back to Avron mansion and recently she always slept with Aaron in his room, she felt her room too cold and dark.

'Even the bed feels cold.' She thought with a pout obviously missing Aaron.

She wanted to call him, and at the same time didn't want to disturb him so she was about to doze off, her mobile rang with a video call of Aaron.

Their conversation started with her teasing 'Hello Mr. Rivas' and ended at midnight around one past ten when Aaron dozed off with a pleasing smile on his face while hearing her.

Aarvi giggled looking at him, "Will you still say you weren't tired?" She mumbled and then she was shocked when she checked the time. 

"We didn't even speak so much." She said in disbelief. She too fell asleep soon looking at him sleeping peacefully, forgetting to hang up the video call.

In the morning, Aarvi woke up to beeps of low battery and realized her stupidity. Seeing Aaron still asleep unaware of the call, she chose to be on the call till he woke up. 

Keeping it for charging, she completed her yoga in the room instead of under morning sun rays.

Aaron woke up when she had closed her eyes doing her last breathing exercise. He was waiting for her to open her eyes but her mobile rang with a voice call.

"Good morning Beautiful."

Aarvi ignored the voice call and went closer to her mobile, "Not bad, Mr. Rivas. You finally learned to be romantic after the night chat." She teased admiring his grogginess.

Aaron squinted his eyes, "And you never learn to wish me morning."

Aarvi giggled at his complaint, "Good morning, Captain of Love. I have a surprise for you tonight. You better don't ditch me tonight." 

Instead of sounding sweet and romantic, she sounded like a news reporter that obviously left him at a loss of words.

Aarvi's mobile beeped with a message so she asked him for a minute and opened the message, [You were right. Call me when you are free.] 

Aaron noticed her lips slyly arc up and her eyes twinkled with a cunningness, "What's up?"

Aarvi pushed the notification bar up and faced him. "Do you know why you didn't get any clue over the mail and Merton company is panicked too?"

Aaron ran his fingers through his bed hair as he leaned on the headboard of the bed. And his guess wasn't wrong, "Leon Harmon is doubting me since he can't dig up about your friends and brother."

A smart man makes things easier.

Aarvi watched him analyzing her moves and the whole week's activity. "My wife is ten steps ahead. Interesting."

'Wife.' Aarvi gave up on correcting him repeatedly.

The emergency operation Aaron received on Tuesday wasn't because there was no doctor or difficulty level, Leon had arranged to shift the patient and probed the family members to ask for Aaron to operate on the patient.

Leon also had his men follow Aaron in the night after the operation if in case he leaves the hospital but Aaron stayed in the hospital and Aarvi was there for him.

It wasn't safe for Leon to send people behind Aaron in the daytime so the couple never got to their hands.

His other consecutive move was to create the problem with Golden oil and gas so that Leon could confirm Ava Kelly doesn't appear around Aaron when he hurriedly leaves for City Coasta. 

His bad luck! On Thursday, Aarvi and Aaron didn't go in and out of the hospital or the Rivas Industries together.

Aarvi remarked, "Leon is shrewd." 

Despite having Aaron's image as cold and unapproachable for girls, Leon was smart even in his suspicion while the world was thinking he was busy with engagement arrangements and the project.

Aaron hummed. Now he got to know why Aarvi had so easily accepted to take him with her when she will have to meet Leon Harmon. She had long back expected his move.

So she was an astute one for him.

He didn't trouble her by asking what she was going to do but the men who were keeping an eye on him in the Coasta were going to end up in the police station very soon. That will serve as a warning to Leon.

"What is your plan today?" He asked as he got off the bed to go to the bathroom holding his mobile.

"Shopping!" Aarvi excitedly said while Aaron guessed she will be alone for that. Then she murmured, "Some work." Then she whispered going closer. "Then preparing for the surprise."

Their call continued, when he went to shower, Aarvi completed her swimming and spoke till Aaron started his work.

Aarvi had an important work call from a business partner so she was on it as she drove straight to the florist shop.

"Suster Aarvi," Tia greeted her, surprised by her arrival after many days. 

Cuing her to get a coffee for her, Aarvi completed her call soon in her private office. "Ahhh… This business trip." She mumbled to herself disliking her coming business trip to an island. 

Dax could go but the owner, the old man of the resort specifically mentioned the president of the business to be there else he will have to consider others' offers.

Aarvi had no choice but to show sincerity as it was going to be Skylar's debut in the international market.

A strong foundation for her empire.

But there was a flicker of doubt, is Leon indoctrinating the old man to bring the President of Skylar Industries?

It wasn't impossible. Taking Leon's personality and how he handles multiple works at a time, she won't be surprised if Leon was simultaneously planning against Skylar to confirm who this mysterious president is.

Instead of knowing the identity, he might want to confirm Ava Kelly as President of Skylar Industries. 

She had tried to confuse him with the proof that clearly stated Ava Kelly was Finance Department manager and director. She wasn't expecting him to completely believe it so she is curious about his moves to catch her.

'Leon Harmon, I will honor you with my appearance very soon.' Aarvi smirked.
