Chapter 444 - Purple Passion
Aarvi wanted to pull her hair out but she sat like an elegant woman who had no tension in her life. She took a deep breath and said, "But that lawyer\'s family fled to a different city far away from here."
Since Aarvi wanted to know why Leon was tolerating Aeon, Sean, and Elder Harmon, she got to know about the will of Elder Harmon and the circumstance Leon was in.
She could easily guess the lawyer won\'t have the will and she eventually heard they left the city due to the threat of Leon. Information about them was useless to her so she hadn\'t checked on them.
She had thought Leon and Tia Spencer\'s cases were different. She felt like things were getting complicated.
Or are they unrelated?
Zain nodded in acknowledgment to Aarvi\'s words. He unhurriedly opened the intricate net to make it easy for them, "Leon threatened Mr. Spencer with his son\'s life. Both lost life together. Mrs. Spencer had no choice but to flee with Tia Spencer and Old master Spencer. Tia Spencer was young but smart. She must have heard about Leon so she returned alone and joined Harmon Industries. She was caught and Leon…"
Zain didn\'t continue and the three already knew what Leon must have done to the real Tia Spencer.
Aarvi gnashed her teeth. She wished she should have met Leon early and kicked him to death. That could have saved many girls and their lives.
Aarvi felt a warm palm cover her fist that was on her lap. She knew Aaron was trying to ease her up and importantly reminding her to focus on herself first, before worrying about others. She entwined her fingers with Aaron\'s left hand and internally sighed.
Was she lucky to be untouched and still living a life which many would dream of?
She indeed felt lucky for having her brother who supports her, two friends who are ready to go any thick and thin with her, and Aaron for loving her as she is and giving her a place to call home.
Shawn who was silent, disclosed his guesstimation, "This Tia might be there to find out the clues of original will and testament of Elder Harmon."
"Or somebody is trying to protect the Spencer family." Aarvi continued.
Aaron and Zain glanced at each other before the latter added another theory, "Or this Tia might be clueless about the Spencer family."
Aarvi was about to add her other theories but she kept it to herself. She was better at breaking down the things alone to plan her steps ahead.
Just then, Aarvi\'s mobile rang with a string of numbers displaying on the screen. She answered it on the speaker so that she doesn\'t have to tell the three men separately.
The four heard the greetings before her team reported, "Boss, the shopkeeper got the microchip. She destroyed it immediately. Any change in the next step?"
Aarvi was silent for a few seconds with two men\'s eyes on her while Aaron was playing with her fingers. "Confusion." She uttered.
The three men were slightly confused about what might be confusing Aarvi but the other end discerned perfectly, "No issues. We will put them in a puzzle pool." Then the young man instructed other members, "Get on work guys, stop eating."
Aarvi nodded after making sure she didn\'t need to be extra careful, "Yep, create complex confusion."
Aaron, Zain, and Shawn accepted they haven\'t worked with this side of Aarvi so it wasn\'t easy to get her way of thinking.
Aarvi noticed the puppy eyes of Shawn when the call ended. She pursed her lips, when they were in country S, she used to be the total clueless one and that would make them call all cute names. Now she felt like the roles were reversed as she was the most cunning one.
"Little Prince, as Tia found the chip, she will obviously try to know how she was bugged. The confusion plan is to remove more than three short pieces of public footage where she would have passed by in the crowd so that she could rack her brain about who might have done it." Small torture.
Zain chuckled when Shawn was feeling dumb due to Aarvi and her team\'s bypass conversation.
"So what is your actual plan for Tia?" Zain asked as he was sure her plan against Tia wasn\'t as sensitive as her other interconnected plans.
Shawn knew the main plan so Aarvi coolly revealed her first step against Tia but it only darkened the faces of men.
After two min, "That\'s risky." Aaron didn\'t reveal much of his emotions.
Zain shook his head in disapproval of her plan, "Pumpkin, rethink."
Shawn breathed a long and deep air before he growled, "Fine, beat me up. Little Heart, we clearly heard Tia is impatient with the waiting. She can endanger your life." He didn\'t include, \'If you are her target.\'
Aarvi left Aaron\'s hand, dabbed the napkin on her lips. She looked as though she was considering their suggestion but she stood up and smashed the napkin on the table, "I didn\'t hear anything. Did you guys say something?" She feigned ignorance.
The three men: "..."
Aarvi\'s mobile again rang. This time her mobile was displaying, \'Tia Spencer.\' Shawn answered it on speaker before Aarvi could even lift her finger.
"Sister Aarvi, Good morning." Tia greeted me sweetly.
Aarvi lowered her upper body to avoid letting Tia know the call was on speaker, "Morning, Tia. How are you doing?" She sounded normal. There was no overacting, not even anger.
"Sister Aarvi, I am doing good. I wanted to ask you if I could take a day off. I got some personal work to attend to." She promptly requested with a lie.
There was a small pause between their conversation. The four in the Skyarc had complex thoughts before Aarvi responded, "Sure Tia. Let me know if you need my help."
Shawn clapped for his friend without creating the sound. He wanted to give her an award for her acting skills.
The other end sounded a little delighted, "Thank you Sister Aarvi and I am sorry for the short notice." Both bid each other before the call ended.
Aarvi chewed her inner lip before revealing, "Tia is a tough nut." Tia\'s emotions, her behavior was hard to deduce. If she was any other girl trying to trick her boss, she would have cried as ill for the leave, but Tia didn\'t overact.
And it made Aarvi trust her instincts more and more and take the risky chance. She will clear the conclusion once and for all. Her plan on Tia shifted to the next day as Tia wasn\'t coming.
The men knew what Aarvi meant. Anyway, they didn\'t tell her that she was tougher, resolute, and determined than Tia.
She bid them to leave early and open the flower shop and also do her work. She strolled to her flower shop instead of taking her car.
She received the fresh flowers delivery. First, she happily took the rare purplish red tulips, they were hybrid flowers. She had ordered a bunch of them for Aaron as she had heard purple signifies passion.
She assembled the flowers with dark green leaves, wrapped them in the white and light greyish purple floristic paper. Tying a ribbon, she was happy with how it looked.
She went out of the shop to hand it to the delivery boy who delivers flowers to the Rivas industries on weekdays.
She turned around to go inside the shop when she noticed Nico Burton standing right in front of her. Before she could react to anything, he enveloped her in his arms.
