Taking an appointnt to et the owner of the Jewelry brand, Aeon reached the office.
He didn't wait for the greeting or he didn't greet the president who was facing away from him watching the busy city, he went straight to the point, "President lon, how could you do this? Why are you backing out now? If not this cyclone, shooting would have started by now."
Aeon saw the swivel chair slowly turn and the next movent, his lips twitched uncontrollably looking at who was sitting on the chair.
The more he looked at her, she looked stunning to his eyes than the previous et but he just can't stand her due to her overbearing and how much she affects his emotions, "Not you again, please. I'm tired of you."
Aarvi was neither angry nor upset. She just pointed to the door, "Get out!"
Skylar International newly acquired Jewellery brand, the previous owner had an antique jewelry collection. The male lead of his movie 'Untouchable' is an antique collector having his own museum, diamond rchant and owner of a reputed brand.
So Aeon had approached President lon and had the oral approval but in this ti, Aarvi had managed to acquire the jewelry company under Skylar International.
Seeing his audacity, she didn't think twice to shut him.
Aeon pointed his forefinger at her in fury but stopped seeing her tranquil and placid. "Why are you doing this? I don't even know you but you are targeting ."
Targeting him? Never, he was just a pawn in her ga to help her kick his brother to the netherworld.
"President Harmon, you sure think highly about yourself. Before I even t you, Skylar International had started the deal with President lon. You can leave now." Then she gracefully stood up and went to the couch to read a magazine to irritate him further.
Aeon drowned his frustration and asked, "What do you want?"
Aarvi nonchalantly said without raising her head, "Peace of mind."
Aeon found it ludicrous. He never saw in his life sobody calm and composed as Aarvi. It was like she lived a life tailored to her without any problems or difficulties. As if she lived in only spring without burning in the sumr and suffering in the winter.
Just then Aarvi mobile which was on the desk started ringing. Aeon instinctively turned to the mobile and read, 'Bae'.
He didn't expect her to be cheesy but his irritation was replaced by a sense of loss reading that word again. He was kind of sad that he wasn't able to understand it.
Aarvi who reached the desk was flabbergasted seeing 'Bae'. She answered warily thinking when did she save anybody's contact na as such.
She raised her head placing her mobile on her ear and t Aeon's somber gaze but his chocolate-brown orbs reminded her of Aaron.
[Hello, Aarvi. I joined the job today. As your requirent, I didn't join the family business..."]
Aarvi didn't hear a word from the other end. Her complete mind was filled with Aaron and the thoughts about him looking at Aeon's eyes while Sean continued to blabber.
She knew she had purposefully avoided Aaron in the past few days but she suddenly started missing how he used to give her dicines, how he was making sure she was eating well. Look for her as soon as reaching ho and ask her how she was doing.
Even though they always spoke little, she felt it carried heavyweight in her everyday life. Her day was starting with him and ending with him.
She didn't get to eat the cupcakes either. Thinking about the cupcakes, Aarvi rembered how she was throwing everything they were bringing for her to eat but Aaron had fed her the cupcake forcefully.
She wasn't sure why she liked them but they unknowingly cald her and after that day whenever Aaron brought her anything to eat, she started eating without uttering a single word.
Even though she never told him, She really likes Aaron's cooking more than anybody else's. She feels safe around him than anybody else. It was like she was sure he wouldn't let anything happen to her even if she forgets to be careful.
"President Evans!" Aeon grunted loudly the fifth ti.
Aarvi ca out of her daze and stepped away from Aeon seeing him worried. His worry or emotions didn't matter to her but that reminded Aaron again.
The call had been long cut. "Go out, I will talk to you later." She said, grabbing the glass from the desk to drink water.
She really didn't want to understand what was going on with her.
"Are you alright? What happened to you?" Aeon asked in concern going behind her.
Aarvi stopped drinking and pointed the door for him, "I said go out and wait."
Aeon didn't leave and asked again, "Shall I call a doctor? Are you feeling unwell? Did anything happen to your boyfriend?"
Aarvi ignored him and took deep breaths to calm her mind. She was never absent-minded and she couldn't understand why Aaron's thoughts were accruing rather than alleviating. She thought avoiding him would solve the problem.
Aeon looked at her in perplexity. Now he could clearly see her emotions. She was disoriented struggling with herself. Compared to her nonchalant look, her real emotions on her petite face looked amusing and hard to divert his gaze.
Her red lips had ford a small o breathing the air out slowly. Her soft skin was glowing as if sobody applied a highlighter. Her long curled lashes weren't too thin or thick casting a shadow on her skin.
He was lost in his own world when Aarvi composed herself and opened her eyes to see Aeon dazed. First, she grabbed her mobile and changed the contact na from 'Bae' to 'Brainless'.
There were ssages from Sean, [Aarvi, what happened to you?]
[Are you busy?]
[Why didn't you talk?]
[Are you free tonight?]
[I got a job, let's celebrate.]
And a few more, She typed a ssage as a response for all the ssage,
[Congratulations!
I'm busy at work and I'm not free tonight.]
Then she kept her mobile aside and saw Aeon was back on the earth from his world of fantasy. "Yes! You don't want to see my face so why are you still in my office?"
"Are you alright?"
"None of your business."
"Can't you be nice when I asked in concern?"
"I never asked you to worry about ."
Aeon rolled his eyes. He felt that befuddled Aarvi was better than the Aarvi who was in clear senses, "I had spoken to President lon and he had agreed to support. It will also increase your brand value."
Aarvi initially wanted to talk and leave him no choice other than agreeing to her but when her mind kept wandering to remind her of Aaron, she didn't want to look at Aeon. She placed a file in front of him and said, "The real-ti statistics."
Aeon took the file and silently checked from page one to page thirteen while she tried to remove Aaron off her mind. She realized that she is missing Aaron and the solution is eting him to stop him from ruining her thoughts and state of mind.
She took her mobile and directly ssaged Aaron, [Where are you?]
She was thinking he might not see her text without knowing he had a different ringtone and ssage tone for her. Her mobile beeped in a minute.
[Office!]
Aarvi subconsciously imagined his raised brow for the exclamation mark and that left her completely dumbstruck.
"Why am I missing him this much? Ugh.'
