Dylan heard the unknown man's voice over the call, [Where do you think?]
The man hadn't answered Leon or anybody's call but his. If he goes and informs Leon, by the morning they could track where those shareholders were taken. That will an he is working for Leon. If he doesn't report this, Aarvi will doubt him as he has his motive for not helping Harmon Industries. Leon will be suspicious if Dylan doesn't report anything to him when he is already on the call.
Dylan was quick to solve the tricky situation Aarvi created for him. He hung up the call and dialed Leon's number. He lied without a second thought, "Brother Leon, all the shareholders are safe and out of network on the island."
[Alright, co soon.] Leon hung up the call, obviously hell busy with loads of work.
After the call ended, Dylan suddenly realized it wasn't a tricky situation but Aarvi's trick to stop Leon from looking for the shareholder. And she was successful.
"Shrewd," Dylan mumbled, falling into her trap of mind gas.
----
Without Dylan, Leon was overloaded with work and overwheld with the situation. Every departnt was reporting him problems. This kind of ergency never ca to him or the company. There will always be a first ti.
Other projects were getting affected, the price of the stock was dropping very sharply. The company was losing so much money so quickly that, if Leon put in more money, it would attract more trouble.
People would be suspicious about the money flow. He also wasn't sure if he could handle the situation so investing his money ant self-destruction. He needed money if he was no longer part of Harmon Industries.
A wrong step would cost him too much when Aarvi had her eyes glued on his every action. And he couldn't afford to believe anybody for any advice.
What if that person was on Aarvi's side?
Not just her, Leon knew other large companies from different parts of the country will now try to acquire the company. Harmon Industries could give them a firm foothold in Mocon and various other cities of different countries. Hence he has to handle everything by himself while cursing Aarvi for helping Cornbell to escape.
Yeah, he got footage of Cornbell fleeing with his assistant. Every traffic signal he got towards the airport was green. How could that be a coincidence? Her team was definitely helping them to escape before Leon's influence could lay a finger on him.
He assud Aarvi froze his half power by putting Dylan to sleep.
When Leon's misfortune and inefficiency were being blad on Aarvi, she squird on the bed after a good long nap.
At the Rivas mansion, Aarvi blinked her eyes looking at the ceiling of Aaron's room. The grogginess was still in her eyes, yet she identified the place she was at.
She had dozed in the car and woke up when Aaron tried to carry her to the elevator of Skyarc. She hadn't cared who was standing with them in the elevator. Getting off his arms, she had hugged Aaron, drowsily leaning on him, all the way to the penthouse.
While she was crawling to the couch, he had carried her to the bedroom and helped her enter the bathtub.
Aarvi smiled at the muzzy mory. Aaron could be the best caretaker in the world. He could have asked her to do it but he continued to spoil her.
Recalling Aaron asking her, "Do you want black or white?"
She responded to him as, "You choose."
"It's white then." Aaron had chosen for her and she had responded with a silly smile, "Then I like white."
Aarvi chuckled, recalling she was snuggling him like a little cat. She lifted her hand and saw she was wearing a white dress. She leaped out of the bed and twirled in amusent. She was wearing a white evening dress which could be a wedding gown to sobody who likes simple and flowy dresses for a sumr wedding.
The dress neckline was in sweetheart and off-the-shoulder full sleeves in bishop style. Although being a long, flowy gown with a trail, it was lightweight due to the right material chosen. The thin belt around her waist gave structure to the look.
Aarvi was glad she chooses black else she would be wearing such gowns every day. However she liked Aaron's selection, she felt good wearing it like she was freed without any obligations.
Aaron had cuddled her to sleep so she didn't know when he brought her here. She looked at the ti and it was seven. The dinner ti at Rivas mansion.
'We had a date night. Is it a date with all?' Aarvi didn't know how to feel about it.
Did their date again ruin? She wouldn't be surprised.
She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face and appear presentable with the beautiful dress. Then she wore the white lace ballerina which had a transparent lace to tie around her legs. She was sure Aaron chose it so that she doesn't strain her foot.
She quickly went out and reached the dining hall. Everyone was there excluding Aaron. "Hello everyone…" She greeted looking at the smiles on everyone's face. Elder Harmon, Shawn, and Shea were also there. Tomorrow the family would be complete as Zelda was returning.
Elders humd while Shawn waved his hand, "Little Heart, your husband isn't here."
Everyone again humd.
Shea continued, "Brother Aaron is expecting you. Don't make him wait."
'So the date is still on.' Aarvi nodded looking at the mischief smile on Shea, gan, and Shawn. "Where... is he?" She doubted getting the answer.
Jordan caught Aarvi's eyes on him so he shrugged with all. Elder Harmon smiled looking at the coordination of the family.
gan probed, "GiggleMug, these two want to test you." The two were Shea and Shawn.
Aarvi crossed her arms. Aaron chose flat shoes so the dinner date was definitely not on the terrace. "In the fields."
Karsen chuckled, "She will win." He was confident in her analysis. Connor humd while the rest waited for her to guess the spot.
Shawn had shown her the huge estate so she knew all the locations. She first thought about the location she proposed then brushed off. Then she rembered the water and her flowy evening gown, "Near the pond Shawn built... At the Cabana." Due to his diverse interest in a lot of things, Shawn had built a pond to quench his curiosity.
Shea and Shawn: "..."
Karsen chuckled while Jordan, Elder Harmon, and Connor looked impressed. Thrilled gan hugged Aarvi, "Go and enjoy, happy evening." Aarvi stuck her tongue out at Shawn when she hugged gan, "Enjoy your dinner." She wished all and then she ran out.
"I envy them." Shea showed her admiration for the couple openly. She saw Shawn get up from the seat, "I will just co." He said.
"Are you going to the terrace? I am coming too." Shea flashed a smile at the elders as an apology for leaving the table and ran behind Shawn.
The n had started eating while gan watched the two leave before turning to Jordan, "Dad, have you noticed what I have noticed?"
Jordan chewed his food looking at gan's anticipation. Karsen and Connor looked at each other and shrugged without understanding what she ant. They saw Jordan who didn't seem to be confused like them.
"I have noticed a lot of things, my dear." Jordan gave a aningful smile and cued her to eat.
gan tilted her head in a nod, understanding they should stay out of Shawn and Shea's personal lives. Interference would harm. Jordan least wanted to hurt Shawn in any way after his experience with Aarvi and Aaron.
Karsen and Connor: "..."
Elder Harmon chose to stay out of the family interaction.
----
anwhile, Shea never had visited the terrace during the day.. With her attention to distance, she tripped at the edge. "Ahh…"
