In Rivas Industries
After being cool and calming Aarvi, Aaron had reached his office indifferently. But he hadn't expected the bouquet of tiffany roses were enough to shatter his impassiveness.
While Milo Wen continued to report so updates and the schedules of his eting, Aaron was just present physically grazing his fingers on the soft roses while he was in the mory of the kiss.
The softness of rose petals failed to bring him out of reverie while his fingers craved to feel Aarvi's soft bouncy cheeks.
Milo Wen waited for more than five minutes for any instruction, before calling, "President Rivas?"
The seconds ticked by but didn't earn any response.
Milo Wen wanted to poke but he didn't. He went around and faced Aaron who was looking at roses, however, he was pleasantly lost in thoughts looking at the gentleness on his face.
Did Milo Wen need a word to know who he was thinking? Milo Wen slowly pulled the bouquet away saying, "I will put them in va…"
He couldn't get to finish and was speechless when Aaron snatched it away. 'Did he even listen to ?' He thought but he didn't dare to ask watching Aaron quickly morph to his usual aloofness.
Aaron blandly ordered without caring his secretary caught him daydreaming, "Leave." Then he placed so roses in the vase on his desk after trimming the stems shorter. Then he set the rest of the roses in the big custom-made vase that he had ordered for the flowers sent by his Cupcake.
Milo started to think why Aaron was so distracted before rembering Aarvi had plans to drop a visit to the Hays International. He gasped thinking Aaron must be insecure thinking Aarvi is eting Vance Hays.
Milo should be glad he didn't voice it else Aaron would have smacked his head harder. Milo wanted to drop a ssage to Aarvi but dropped his thought unwilling to disturb her plans.
Inside the office, Aaron had lots of dilemmas. He wanted to talk to Aarvi, he wanted to send a ssage then he for the first ti THOUGHT what to talk to her. He didn't want her to think he was desperate to see or talk to her.
'But it doesn't hurt to ask if she is coming over here after her plan.' He thought while sitting in a eting, holding a file while an executive was speaking.
'Or I can just ask where she is having lunch.' He thought as he watched outside while Milo Wen handled the eting without disturbing Aaron.
'I could just call to ask if everything is alright.' He nodded to himself when he walked towards his office after the morning eting.
For a minute he started to worry what if her plan goes wrong and she is in trouble. Even though he was worried about the dangers around her, he trusted her more, "She will be safe." He told himself and tried to focus on the files.

At the other end,
Aarvi paused hearing Shawn say, 'We are caught.' She didn't like the fear in his tone even though he didn't fear for his life but hers.
"Do you think so?" She asked, pulling him in front of her.
Shawn looked at the car without seeing her face, "Little Heart, stay aside, I will handle them." Anxiousness was very evident in his tone.
However, Aarvi didn't let go of his hand, flicked her fingers rising above her head.
Shawn's jaw dropped when the n who were hiding in the cars and behind the pillars or cars ca out at a tiny flick of her fingers.
A car suddenly rushed between the two and the car which stopped Leon's n car slamming on the brake in a jerk.
Aarvi's eyes were only on Shawn. She wasn't showing off, she wanted to clear his mind, she hoped he could trust her in whatever she plans, if not as much as Aaron and Zain, a little more. She wanted him to be confident that she would never put her or especially his life in danger at any cost.
Shawn was assured that his Little Heart is a grandmaster in playing chess for always having a back plan to handle Leon's pawns.
He was expecting a massive action, shattering the car glasses, breaking windshields, the damaged cars' loud sirens for external force while fighting.
All in all, Shawn anticipated a Hollywood action to replay in the seventh-floor parking lot.
But Leon's n who wanted to catch Aarvi were frightened by seeing the ten strongly built n standing against them.
How could two stands against ten?
They saw the ten walk towards the car without fear. To handle the ten n, they needed a backup and they needed to be alive to report it so they changed the gear of the car to reverse and drove back on the sa path they ca.
Shawn was obviously disappointed but burst into laughter seeing them scurry away without even trying out, "They ca like cheetahs and escaped like rats."
Aarvi ordered the Skylar security guards, "Disperse." Just like that, ten quickly disappeared from there to return to Skylar. They were thinking about how Hays International could be sneaky to attack their CEO's friends just because Skylar didn't accept the business deal.
'How naive of them to believe what Dax ordered on her behalf.'
Aarvi again said, "Run... it's not safe here." She yanked his arm and ran without wasting more ti. According to the plans, she was already late by three minutes and Leon's n had already covered them.
Aarvi's guess was absolutely right. The ones who ran back instead of catching her directly dialed Dylan Harmon's number, "Assistant Harmon, that lady and a man who slid to Park Avenue are here. Please order our team to block all the entrances and exits of this building. I call back up as there are ten to protect them."
[Don't let her escape. Dead or Alive, We want her.] It wasn't the only response from the call.
A hoarse voice of order cut in imdiately to retort to Dylan's words, "Alive, I want her alive."
He felt he let her off easily, this ti he wanted to torture to death yet keep her alive and repeat. If he has to provide dical treatnt, he was ready to do that and again torture her until she regrets provoking him and taking birth.
"I will tornt her myself. Search every nook and cranny of Park Avenue. We will be there in a minute." Then the call ended without waiting for a response.
Leon was also angry for breaking the bones of his left-hand man. That man was trained for years to be a human killing machine who could kill anybody just by his fighting skills and hands. But now, he is a totally useless mass of dead at.
Leon felt like his long ti investnt in a business was ruined by Ava Kelly in an instant. It fueled his fire boiling his blood like molten lava, it won't cool down until he sees Ava Kelly lying in a pool of her blood fighting between life and death.
Rembering his impotence, 'Will I really be satisfied?' He doubted if torturing Ava Kelly will curb his anguish.
