The Traps of Black Swan

"Is it so odd?" Sean asked Aarvi thinking if he did anything wrong or if she didn't like it.

Aarvi answered casually, seeing him embarrassed for serving the guest of the house, "Absolutely not." She never believed the housework should only be done by females. "A home belongs to both men and women. So there is no shame in doing any work at home."

She didn't tell him that it was amusing for her because he, Sean Harmon, arrogant, haughty, self-obsessed, the spoiled son of the Harmon family, served her a glass of water. That was unbelievable. Leon's years of work to corrupt Sean were ruined after staying with Aeon and Eliza for a few days without maids around.

Aeon glanced at Sean who was beaming thinking she was praising him but in reality, she generally said.

Sean nodded proudly, "I am learning from SIL… I mean Sister-in-law." He looked excited to learn more. Probably he should have learned and done everything when he was a teenager, thanks to Leon for wrecking his life for so long.

Aarvi faintly smiled in response to it before looking at Aeon. "When will the counseling end?" She didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Aeon checked the time on his wristwatch. Since Aarvi's name and identity were known to Sean, he addressed her by the second name, "Ms. Evans, it will take another half an hour as per the schedule."

Aarvi nodded, "Do you find any progress in Eliza Lane?" Aarvi didn't bother about the greetings and formalities and collected the progress and information she needed.

She could have asked those by making a call but it wouldn't be an effective way to talk with Eliza. So she dropped by personally hoping she could sow a seed of change in Eliza.

...

Sean, who was sitting to the north of them, looked right and left while they were discussing issues related to Eliza and the Lane family followed by Amiah Entertainment. He felt like the elders were talking and the younger one should be silent as they didn't bother to spare a look at him.

After fifteen minutes, Aarvi finally glanced at Sean and he smiled brightly at her thinking she would speak with him. Nonetheless, his face fell when she turned back to Aeon. She still couldn't believe Sean had changed so she dropped a test. "I met Elder Harmon today." 

Sean still had a long face for not getting her attention, when her focus was actually on his expression. He also knew many responses to the questions of Aarvi, he chose to behave because she was addressing all the questions to Aeon.

It suddenly struck the most important question to him, completely ignoring what Aarvi said just now, "Aarvi, are you the shareholder of Amiah Entertainment?"

Aarvi: "..."

Aeon responded to Aarvi as he glanced at Sean whose thoughts were elsewhere. "Did Leon let you meet grandfather?"

Sean sulked for being ignored again. If Aeon was somebody else, he would have tossed him out and took Aarvi's whole attention. He stood up sluggishly and went towards the dining hall to sulk alone.

However, Aarvi didn't respond to Aeon. Sean's reaction meant he had no idea about what was happening in the Harmon family. So he also didn't know Elder Harmon was on house arrest for many years hence whatever she revealed had no effect on him but Aeon. The Harmon family had indeed spoiled Sean with luxury and the good side of life.

She checked the time on her wristwatch, and there was still time for Eliza to return. So she decided to have a few words with Sean "Sean…"

Aarvi saw him instantly brighten up, turning to her. He noticed she addresses Aeon as President and him by name. So he assumed he was close to her even though he was engaged and started celebrating in his world.

Aarvi felt her back stiffen at his behavior. He was behaving like her little pet that loves his owner. She signaled him to take a seat as she responded to Aeon, "When I didn't take his appointment to meet him, why do I need his permission to meet Elder Harmon?"

'Him!?' The two brothers shot up from their seats, their eyes filled with terror, and asked the same question, raising their pitch in panic, "You met Leon?"

"You met bro?"

Super calm, Aarvi blinked at the two brothers who were worried about her. "So?" Yes, she met Leon, so?

Sean and Aeon looked at each other before taking their seats. Their hearts were beating like there was no tomorrow while she was sitting as if Leon was nobody. Since she was calm and normal, they felt like they were overestimating Leon but they knew Leon was a cold-blooded animal.

Recalling Aarvi lying on the ground of the warehouse, beating black and blue, Aeon tried to say something to Aarvi but he bit his lips and stayed quiet to hide his emotions. 'Please be safe.'

Meanwhile, Sean was thinking why Leon hadn't called him yet after knowing the girl from the picture and Beauty in Black are the same girl and he had lied to Leon.

Since Sean was changing, Aarvi wanted to keep him busy and away from Leon so that he wouldn't get entangled in the mess. "What are your plans, Sean?" She questioned bringing him out of his thoughts. He, anyway, can't handle Leon alone.

Aeon glanced at Sean hearing Aarvi. They were discussing the same for three days but got nothing fruitful result or suitable career option for Sean.

Sean shook his head indicating nothing. He responded in a low voice scratching his head in embarrassment, "Brother Leon paid to pass me in exams. Brother Aeon won't let me get into business."

Unsurprised, Aarvi gave a thought before asking, "Are you interested in studying?" Since Leon had diverted him to the wrong path, she thought he should go back to school.

"Nope." He quickly immediately stated, clean and clear. He didn't want to go where he would be judged on marks that could be bought.

'No management skills. Not interested in studying.' Aarvi thought. "Acting?" She asked Aeon, thinking it wouldn't be difficult for Sean. Aeon could easily weigh and estimate if a person could be trained and suitable for the entertainment field.

Aeon involuntarily remembered her spellbinding skills in acting before he shook his head, "He is pathetic at it."

Sean: "..."

Sean felt like they were listing what he can't do. "As if you guys can do it all. Hmph." He crossed his arms and looked away from them like a grumpy child.

Aeon and Aarvi's voices sounded at the same time, "I can do." Said Aarvi and "We can do.' Said Aeon. Aeon might not be amazing in acting but for directing, he had learned to a good extent.

Sean wasn't ready to believe it. As he knew about Aeon, he challenged Aarvi, "How can you act? Don't fool me, Aarvi." He assumed she might be President, but she was still a simple girl. Look at her in simple jeans and a top.

Aeon: 'You are a fool.'

Aarvi stood up to show Sean that she wasn't the innocent girl as he still thinks. She walked towards Sean doing nothing much, she just looked him in the eyes like a girl who was deeply in love with him. Her long lashes softly batted, her cheeks turned slightly pink in shyness. Aarvi was just imagining Aaron in Sean's place with her character as Aaron's shy little Cupcake.
