The Traps of Black Swan

Taking the man\'s attention on her face, she grabbed his freshly brewed coffee cup and walked out without a word.

Aaron: "..."

He saw Shawn still acting and exited the Starbucks with a coffee cup in hand leaving two customers in all confusion without realizing until late that their coffee was missing.

Aarvi and Shawn high-fived meeting outside. The latter commented, "You were so sleek."

Aarvi remarked, "I thought you will start crying in her arms."

Shawn rolled his eyes and sipped his coffee but spat out, "Eww so bitter."

Aarvi who tasted the coffee spit out, "Yuck! black coffee."

Then a hand propped in front of them with the coffee cup holder. Dropping the stolen coffee to the bin both grabbed a cup from Aaron.

"Mall of Mocon."

Shawn wanted to go to a different one, "Nooo, Orion..."

Aarvi shook her head, "Security cameras Shawn. Skylar is the largest shareholder at MOM and the second is Rivas. So nobody will complain against us."

Shawn knew his name couldn\'t go out, else his father will beat the shit out of him. He nodded and heard Aaron, "Were you guys the same in country U?"

Aarvi glanced at Shawn who started laughing, "I wanted to flirt with her showing off I\'m rich so she handed me a cheque and said, \'It doesn\'t work on me.\' She even smiled, making me a laughing stock. Such a devil."

"Didn\'t you know she is from..." Aaron didn\'t say her family name seeing her frown.

Shawn spoke, shaking his head, "She and Dax are the scholarship students we had so we thought she is middle class."

At Mall of Mocon

Aarvi was perplexed seeing Aaron tag along but didn\'t ask.

Aarvi and Shawn saw Dax approaching with a bright smile. He was tall and well built. His skin was slightly honey-colored and he gave off a serious vibe unless you speak to him.

"Dum Dum." His hands wrapped in the air while Aarvi escaped.

"Bum shots!" Aarvi said excitedly and Shawn kicked Dax very next second.

Dax: "..."

Aarvi burst into laughter seeing Dax chasing after Shawn and cursing him. "Wanker... Gormless man... Are we even friends? How dare you write your last wish as Bumshots? You Nutter... You better transfer your ownership of all Highlands to me. You knob headed fool..."

"Ligger, I will break your legs if you touch me. My young master will never let you kick..."

Dax kicked him and quickly reached Aarvi who was flushed from laughing.

Aaron didn\'t disturb them and time passed in the mall watching them play. He had heard from Shawn they used to have a blast, he got a glimpse of it but his eyes stayed on Aarvi who let go of her darkness for the time being.

"Guys, what\'s the plan?"

Shawn planned out, "My voice is sharper so I will start running out of that ice cream cafe. Dax, don\'t forget to overact. And Little heart, toss the ice we buy for you and run out looking back in fear. Clear?"

"Ease."

"Cool"

Three behaved like high-class elite princes and a princess with style and attitude; they ate ice cream.

"Ahhhhhh....."

A loud scream got everyone\'s attention. Shawn bumped to some purposefully and pointed inside the ice cream shop and screamed. "Ahhh...."

As mentioned by Shawn, Dax started his overacting and ran out, and purposefully fell down and crawled a distance before screaming and running away.

Before Aarvi could do anything many started to scream and run out. To add the final touch, Aarvi tossed the melted ice cream on the shopkeeper as she screamed, shaking her hands at the ice cream shop running backward then she ran out frantically as if some scary creature would chase after her.

It became so messy that nobody dared to check inside and whoever saw them ran out-thinking there might be something really scary inside.

To add a topping, the ice cream shopkeeper exited the shop without wiping the cream off his face which Aarvi threw, which scared even more and many scurried away.

Three who stood aside and watched, burst into rapid laughter holding their stomach.

"Oh sh*t, my jaws are paining." But they looked at each other and went for another round. It had been three-plus years since they had the real fun.

Aarvi pointed at Aaron, "Go. Hug him."

Shawn awkwardly laughed, "He will throw me on the floor... Aren\'t we doing it together? You guys should come."

Dax spoke, "Excuse me, I\'m straight."

Aarvi cued him to leave and curiously watched if he was really going to bear hug his brother, "Dax, why does even a thought of one man bear hugging another feel so weird?"

Dax wanted Aaron to throw Shawn on the floor and responded, "It is meant for couples Sweet bunny. Come on, I will give you one."

Aarvi slapped his hand away making him laugh.

Aaron saw Shawn hesitatingly reaching him. Aaron had heard Aarvi saying, \'Bear hug my bro.\' so his hand silently pulled his utility pocket knife out skillfully playing with it.

Shawn snorted, "I am going to make you jealous today. You just wait."

Aaron smirked and saw Aarvi and Dax laughing looking at Shawn.

While the CEO and President of Skylar were playing and having fun, Aeon again requested to meet the President or CEO.

The secretary followed as she was instructed that the legal process will be on hold till Monday giving him the appointment of CEO.

Instead of a wax model, They ordered a miniature of Shawn for Aaron, they also ordered the miniature for everyone including Aaron.

...

They were taking a break when Aarvi\'s mobile went off. Aaron saw the caller\'s name, \'Apple Pie\' before passing her phone.

"Pumpkin, your plan is perfect. Leon Harmon is in action."

Aarvi hummed. She had studied Leon and his style for years hence she took a short break from playing them. "You be careful." Her concerned voice sounded.

"Don\'t worry brat. Lots of kisses and hugs. Bye."

She noticed the rest three sitting silently hence she probed, "Are you guys going to Skinny Dip together? Take Doctor Rivas too, he seems to be very free today."

Shawn, Dax, Aaron: "..."

Aarvi pointed their faces chuckled. "You better don\'t step in my villa. Forget about the pool too."

"Stop talking about it." Shawn just wrote whatever he hadn\'t done even once but who knew he would end up in her hands.

...

They had just reached the club, Aarvi spotted Sean. She knew well fooling Aeon or Sean was easy but not Leon Harmon. Getting to Sean\'s hand is the same as Leon finding out about her. Sean saw her and without a second thought, he shot towards her.

We will not be in favor all the time.

Being it a big problem, Dax hurriedly informed, "Honeybun, Aeon Harmon is in the club. He is coming here."

Aarvi didn\'t expect she would be caught so soon.

Her plan! If both catch her together, then Harmon\'s brother will easily understand everything.

She doesn\'t have the right to be happy. She knew it and learnt it again.
