The Traps of Black Swan

Aaron read the message [Mike Wooten is dead.]

In a few seconds, another message popped up in Aarvi's mobile, [Your guess is on point.]

Aaron didn't know what is the meaning of the second message. He turned to Aarvi who was sitting expressionlessly. A few seconds back, he loved the vibe between them and now everything changed.

Initially, he didn't know Leon Harmon's illegal trades, he got to know after the investigation but he wasn't sure how Aarvi got to know that. Cupping her face, gently caressing her cheek with his thumb, he lifted her face to see him, "What is meant by 'Your guess is on point'?"

Aarvi relaxed looking at him worried as she responded calmly, "Sean Harmon accepted and joined Leon Harmon. Mike Wooten is Sean Harmon's friend who was in contact with Leon Harmon. That fool must have followed Sean Harmon or did something stupid." Both had heard Sean's plan to catch his brother red handed so it wasn't hard for her to guesstimate.

Aarvi distracted him seeing him thinking deep into it, "Why are you dressed so early in the morning? Are we going out so soon?"

Aaron thought she wouldn't have a mood to go out but she was anticipating to hear 'yes' from him keeping the Harmon topic aside. "Get ready and come downstairs. We will have breakfast and leave."

Aarvi hummed with a nod, she was going towards the ensuite but paused and turned around as she walked backside, "Don't think about Harmons. Focus on the date."

She closed the door after seeing him nod then Aaron remembered Sean knew about Aarvi and Leon could track her with Sean's help. "Aarvi..." She had gone inside so he made her bed before going to the kitchen.

Aarvi didn't randomly choose a dress but she had very few options. She didn't know where he was taking her, so just wearing a pretty dress wouldn't be suitable. She didn't want to wear boring pants and top on their first date. 

She had two choices; skort, and romper, she chose a simple and classy romper having a layer of the skirt on top layer giving off a little dress look. Blowing drying her chocolate brown hair to delicate curves, she wore a pair of diamond studs. Wearing light rose pink lipstick and matched with trendy black heels, she ditched her handbag.

Aaron had prepared everything and saw her entering the dining hall. She wasn't trying to ace her looks instead she chose a comfortable dress with quarter sleeves so it naturally made him delighted. 

Similarly, Aaron wasn't in a business suit, instead of a full sleeve grey pullover, white cargos, brown loafer and his jacket was lying on the chair. He was mod and chic marveling his look.

They weren't trying to impress each other, they were just them.

Both had breakfast and Aaron noticed her mobile wasn't with her. He reminded her thinking she might have forgotten, "Where is your mobile?... Aunty-" He wanted to tell Melia to send a maid to bring it.

Aarvi lazily cut in, "I am not bringing it with me."

Aaron was surprised to hear that. He was sure she did that to leave other things behind and enjoy their date. It really warmed his heart knowing she was giving importance to him ignoring her failed plan.

"What if there is an emergency at your company?" He never would ask her to ignore her responsibilities.

"Dax will call you. He knows we are going on a date." Aarvi ate her pancake thinking about Dax's reaction. He was really happy and warned her to give Aaron a good time other than the company and her game.

Dax isn't supporting Aaron, he is glad and wished Aarvi to have someone by her side so that she shouldn't think about disappearing from everyone's life. Shawn pledged he wouldn't disturb the couple and had a cocktail party with his father and elder uncle celebrating Aaron's first step of success.

Aaron again mentioned another one, "Your cousin?" He actually wanted to know if she was hiding from him or she told him.

Aarvi didn't answer it first, "Do you want me to take my mobile?" Her mobile is mainly for contacting Zain, Dax, Shawn, and Aaron. She didn't want to bother about mobile being with him. "Apple Pie will call you if anything urgent but there won't be any."

Aaron nodded and continued to eat, Aarvi seriously asked, remembering something, "Don't tell me your secretary is going to join us?"

Melia chuckled hearing her while Aaron was speechless. Melia who already knew they were dating was beaming ear to ear and happy to see the different expressions and casual talk between the duo instead of dead silent breakfast time. 

To report things on time, Aaron has no choice but to let his secretary follow him to the hospital too. When they were in the villa, Secretary Wen was picking and dropping him so Aarvi always saw his secretary everywhere.

"No!" He gave a curt response glowering at her who didn't give a damn to it. 

Aarvi visibly sighed, causing Melia to chuckle and add, "Miss, not only Secretary Wen has to follow the young master daily, he doesn't get time with his wife due to young master's work."

Aarvi hummed pitifully, "Your young master's work is like punishment to Secretary Wen. I have seen him scared as if he saw a dragon that is thrusting to drink blood."

Aaron: "..."

Melia burst into laughter. She didn't know Aarvi is capable of teasing Aaron. Now she wished them to get married soon.

Aaron drove out his Hennessey Venom F5 sports car. Due to his tight schedule all day around, he rarely drove his cars so that he could work in the car.

Aarvi was checking the music system when Aaron remembered the important topic, "Aarvi, Sean Harmon knows about you. What if he helps Leon Harmon? Are you planning to reveal your identity?"

Aarvi chuckled hearing him still concerned so she rewound a few things for him from the previous day.

--- In the restaurant waiting room ---

After hanging up Leon's call on Sean's mobile, Sean was in disbelief thinking about Leon. She took the chance and sent an email to a hacker. When Sean took the mobile back, he hadn't cared to check anything while his mobile was hacked.

Every trace of Aarvi's number was deleted. There were no pictures and videos so it was easier which completed in a few minutes.

She wasn't sure why exactly Sean replaced everyone's mobile. Whether it was to collect the videos of her or by believing her acting but it indirectly helped Aarvi.

Aarvi dropped a message to Zain, he arranged a few men to steal the bag which had all the smartphones and replaced them with old second-hand mobiles which had random unuseful data.

If Sean hadn't collected the mobiles, then it would be difficult for Aarvi and her team. So practically, Sean Harmon's path is closed before they even parted their ways.

Aaron didn't find an accurate word to describe her plans while he had a broad smile trying to hide it. He heard her ask peeking at him, "So?"

He pinched her cheek in adoration, "You are artful." He couldn't believe she thinks so much for a single meeting. Instead of a fake dinner date, he felt like she went on war. "You win even in the failed plan."

Aarvi shrugged his fingers from her cheek and pulled his ear towards her without caring he was driving on a high-speed road. Aaron was sharply curved in an angle towards her and heard her grimly say at his ear, "Now forget about Harmons. We are going on A DATE."
