While Nico Burton nonchalantly went into the new restaurant for lunch, his men quickly took action as he ordered them to do.
Aarvi felt her hand itch unnecessarily while driving down the hill. She dialed Apple Pie's number thinking to be cautious, [Pumpkin!! Why don't I know you are so good at riding a motorbike?]
She was honestly curious how he gets to know everything, "I had told you Apple Pie."
Zain dismayed before revealing, "You had said you know to ride a bike, you didn't tell me that you can race. Who drifts without fear?" He sighed very faintly and continued, "Anyway, you will get a weakness or the dirty secret of the Burton family soon."
Aarvi who was silently chuckling looked at the small LED screen of her car at a loss of words. She got him on the phone to dig about Nico Burton or the Burton family but 'why is my brother so quick?' "Are you sitting in my mind?"
Zain chuckled after a brief pause, [My silly little sister took an immeasurable decision to date. Your tone is back to mellifluous, I don't fancy your indifferent tone.]
Aarvi whined hearing his teasing tone, "Apple Pie, when will you stop making fun of me?"
[Ugh, My poor heart melted. So generous of you Pumpkin.] From the day, he got to know Aarvi agreed to date... Nope, he knew well, she accepted Aaron completely and she wasn't just dating him but needed time to get out of her darkness.
He also took note of her unemotional tone cheering up. He had tried to change her for two years but failed. Aaron needs to do nothing other than being with her and there she is, slowly getting herself back.
Aarvi pouted and tried to change the topic but Zain teased her a little more time before hanging up the call. Aarvi was glad he no longer hangs up the call after talking about the reason behind the call but chats with her.
Parking her Bugatti aside, she hopped on her black SSC Tuatara motioning the driver to drive the Bugatti back to the Avron mansion. Why the change of car? Uncomplicated, she didn't want to reveal her path to anybody even though nobody tries to follow her and none knows SSC Tuatara belongs to her.
She reached the foothill and redirected towards the city to go to the Rivas hospital without being stopped by anybody. While her Bugatti was halted by a few men in uniform.
...
The driver who was in the Bugatti rolled down his window to hear, "Excuse us, sir, please cooperate with us."
The driver alighted the car without worry and to ask why the military uniformed men were stopping him. The military man asked, maintaining his stoicism, "Please provide your documents for the verification."
The driver submitted his driving license and identification card, the military man took the cards and went aside as if he was showing it to his chief and dialed Nico's number.

At the restaurant, Nico Burton answered to hear the real adventures of Ms.Evans but heard what he hadn't anticipated, [Captain Nick, the man's name is Robert Berth, 33 years old and his...]
Nico was confused hearing about a man, "He? Which car did you stop?" He knew well his team acts accurately and hardly makes mistakes hence he didn't scold but questioned.
The response defeated Nico Burton once more, [It's black Bugatti, a new model.]
Nico's marvel and interest in the Ms.Evans reached eminently hearing how sleekly she slipped off from him. He wanted to ask them to follow the man to know where he would go but dropped the idea because Aaron might get to know and it wouldn't end on the good.
"Let him go and notify Tenax to drop the task." he heard the response before hanging up the call.
'Well played Ms. Evans!' Nico worded in his mind and decided to talk to Shawn or Naomi when he gets free but he couldn't really talk to Shawn because the brothers were too close, Naomi was a perfect choice to talk.
He had thought of her as Aaron's woman for a long time until that day. Not only him but most of the family had also assumed to themselves that Aaron and Naomi were dating as they studied together from kindergarten to masters in medicine.
"I will be there at Cult-fit." He informed the group as he wanted to know more about Ms. Evans.

At Rivas Industries,
Whoever looked at the faint smiling face of President Rivas when Aaron entered the Rivas Industries, they were shocked to even move in doubt if he was the same president who never had a single expression on his stunning face.
They always had seen his cold aloof look all these years. Trying to capture his expression they forgot to wish him when he walked to the designated elevator with his secretary in tow.
Milo Wen maintained his stony face as if he had no idea what was going on in the minds of employees, 'Now it's their turn to be in disbelief.' he thought to himself.
Aaron entered his office followed by Milo who started briefing his schedule. Aaron noticed a big bunch of burning orange and red color roses, tulips, and Ornithogalum bouquet wrapped in black floristic paper on the desk.
He gave a quick glance at Milo who swiftly mentioned, "The flowers are delivered from Ms.Evans's shop in your name."
Both assumed the bouquet was from Aarvi which actually wasn't. It wasn't out of Aaron's expectation, Aarvi doesn't expect everything to be one-sided so he didn't doubt it either.
He personally took the bouquet to arrange in the vase in his office room as Milo Wen watched his attentiveness as he reported a few things.
...
It was nearing lunchtime when he got a call from Nico Burton. After the call, the first thing he did was to instruct his men to keep an eye on Nico Burton if he does something unacceptable as another team named Shadow was there to protect Aarvi.
The next important call he answered was related to Aarvi, when she did her ECG, he didn't want to make her feel monitored by calling so he just checked her report that stated as salubrious.
--- Rivas hospital ---
In the evening, Aarvi was waiting in Aaron's office for Aaron in Rivas hospitals after knowing he was in there. Working and waiting, she had dozed on the couch.
Aaron entered his office to see her deep frowns in sleep, laptop on her lap with her feet on the coffee table. He let out a sigh thinking her routine was disturbing because of him.
In the past days, she would be in the home, eat on time, and rest properly without waiting for him if he was busy but now, her complete sequence is messed to give him a time or to eat with him and he least wanted it to affect her health.
He still had a few urgent files that needed his attention hence he thought to make her comfortable on the couch before going to his desk.
He took her laptop and closed it looking at her troubled, anxious eloquence. Probably he hadn't seen so many expressions on her petite face when she is awake that he sees in her sleep.
He moved closer to scoop her in his arms but suddenly her hand shot towards him with a lot of force. He was quick to hold her hand sensing the abnormal speed of movement, he saw her struggling in sleep to pull him down but if he leaves her hand, her elbow would definitely hit the couch roughly and ache her.
"Aarvi..." He kept his voice down to soothe her from the dream while her force didn't lower. She continued to frown deeper, her jaws were shuddering tremendously, crunching her face as though she was in immeasurable pain.
