The Traps of Black Swan

It was already dusk, Aarvi showed a card to the security without completely rolling down the window. She entered a large area where it looked like a whole new world due to different outdoor movie setups around.

If one side had ancient style, another side was a beautiful architecture modern cafe, At a distance there was a outlook of a mansion, another end setup had an fashion design studio set up.

Everything looked so real but the reality was they were temporary film sets which will be destroyed in a month or two but leaves the memory for ages.

Aarvi drove towards the indoor studio without caring for the eyes her stunning SSC Tuatara was grabbing. After the bid by the Chairman of Global High Tech, she entered the studio without removing the air-pods and was walking towards the indoor set talking with Dax.

Her farther distance got the sight of a wobbling stand of stocked HMI 1lights. She could guess it was assembled a few minutes back looking at the assembling tools and wire laying on the ground.

 She thought to inform somebody to look into it as she was responding to Dax who was on the call, "Dax, be…" \'good\' before she could finish the line her gaze caught sight of Aeon talking on his mobile.

Aeon was near the wobbling stand and the stand was falling down but entangled in the electric wires slowing down it\'s fall. "Holy Shit…" Aarvi cussed gritting her teeth.

Dax was alerted on the other end realizing she was running, [Dum Dum, what\'s wrong?]

"Aeon is in danger." She hurriedly said in irritation due to the totally unexpected event. 

She hated to be a savior but had no choice seeing him standing unaware of his life in danger.

[Dum Dum, don\'t you dare put yourself in danger… Dum Dum…] Dax was worried while Aarvi shouted to get the attention of Aeon, "Aeon Harmon… Aeon…"

To Aeon\'s bad luck, the other end of the studio had loud music and he was busy on the call, he didn\'t hear her. The other staff who turned around started to run towards Aeon instead of joining voice with her to get Aeon\'s attention.

"Fools!" Aarvi cussed again and ran on her high thanking she wasn\'t wearing pointed heels else she would have definitely hurted her legs.

[Dum Dum!] Dax paced in his room like a headless chicken feeling each second as a minute.

Aarvi didn\'t bother to run under the slanted light stand. Aeon was nobody for her and a chess pawn of her game. He wasn\'t important for her to risk her own life to save him.

She might have done it if she was Selfless Ava, but she wasn\'t anymore. She is a shrewd business who never does anything for free.

She grabbed his hand and used all her strength to pull the grown man aside. Aeon was watching another side so he was caught off guard and lost the balance of his footing due to sudden pull.

Aarvi\'s frame was small against Aeon and control the big grown up man was impossible that caused her lose her balance on her heel and fell back.

"Fudge" She cussed trying to push the man aside from falling on her but failed.

Aeon caught the sight of breathtaking petite face, and noticed her furrowed brows with an irritation in the eyes. He didn\'t know if she was pushing him aside or pulling him down with her, his first reaction was to wrap his arms around her head and shoulder having no control over the fall.

\'Thump\' Aarvi fell on her butt with Aeon on top.

\'Bang\'

The loud shrieking crash of the big object of glass resounded after it shocking everyone in the studio. Thanks to Aeon\'s quick reflex to the sound, he covered Aarvi without thinking.

Aarvi pushed him aside without thinking and stammered to Dax who had lost his cool hearing the sound, "D-Dax, I am fine."

She wasn\'t afraid but was getting uncomfortable due to Aeon holding her. She repeated in her mind repeatedly she had expected touch and he didn\'t mean to hold her.

Aeon was too stunned with the events and tried to recollect sitting on the floor hearing the chaos when he saw Aarvi trembling. Assumed she got hurt and quickly tended to her, "Ms. Evans, are you hurt? Are you alright?"

"Don\'t touch me, stay away…" Aarvi hissed before he could hold her.

Aeon paused his hands and saw her pull her palms inside her full sleeves to avoid gazes on her trembling hands. He watched her irregular breaths trying to calm herself and her dainty face flushed red in fluster.

He glanced at her long pearly fair slender legs to make sure none of the glass pieces pierced her. On the outer surface she looked total fine so he asked to make sure, "Okay okay, I will not touch you. Are you hurt anywhere? Should I call the doctor?"

"Doctor!?" She uttered in a low voice.

Aeon noticed her acquire her calmness easily after hearing him. As if his voice did the magic, she looked fine and her slender finger exited from the sleeves of her dress unknowingly bringing a soft curve of his lips.

Aarvi searched where she dropped her mobile and saw it\'s screen broken. She complained to Dax, "Mobile screen broke. It hasn\'t been a month."

[Dumb Dum Dum, Let me put your doctor on conference call.] He was adding another call when Aeon grabbed his and her broken mobiles.

"Thank you Ms. Evans. I will get you a new mobile." Aeon said, hearing her say \'It hasn\'t been a month.\' without knowing how else to answer it.

Aarvi\'s lips twitched. Does she look like she needed him to buy the damn broken mobile. She said through her teeth, "Aeon Harmon, are you out of your mind? Or are you planning to get into a new headline tangled with Skylar\'s name?"

Aeon: "..."

Was he an idiot to think she saved him to be a kind woman? Tsk, \'Untouchable was a first movie, Skylar is announcing its venture to the entertainment industry. She wasn\'t going to let it ruin in front of her own eyes.

Aarvi was about to continue, the queen of the set entered and pulled Aeon Harmon up from the ground to make him stand, "Aeon, are you alright? Did you get hurt?" She gasped looking blood, "Aeon, Your hand is bleeding…" She said as though he was losing lots of blood.

Aeon shrugged her hand, glass only starched his finger and only little blood pooled at it. It was no big deal to worry so much. Actually his indifference at Mia Craft wasn\'t because of the situation but Mia Craft herself.

He couldn\'t understand why Mia changed drastically. He didn\'t know if she was acting weak and a meek lady sticking up to him all the time or she really changed. But it just irritates him to see her around him.

Aarvi heard Aaron\'s voice over call, "Hello…" The aloof voice with a hint of curiosity for getting a call from Dax.

"Doctor Rivas, where are you?" Aarvi asked, wishing she could order him to appear in front of her right away. She didn\'t know if he could make it to reach her but she didn\'t ask. She didn\'t want to trouble him.

[Aarvi?] His voice turned gentle and little worried instantly, [Where is your mobile?

Aarvi complained like a little girl in need of coax, forgetting Dax was hearing them silently, "I broke it. It slipped my hand and fell." 

Dax had to keep on mute and burst into laughter, \'My Dum Dum is so cute. Brother Aaron will be wrapped around his finger.\' he thought.

On the other hand, Aaron shook his head in resignation, [It\'s alright, it\'s just a mobile, I will get you a new one.]

Aarvi hummed, "Same like yours."

[Okay.]

She demanded, "Black color."

[How about white? Or rose gold?]

"I want black." She repeated sweetly but adamantly. 

She actually wanted to forget Aeon\'s part and relax her mind to complete her plan at the movie shooting set else she might run over to Aaron or the Avron mansion to take a bath but \'Aaron would be worried for nothing.\' She thought.

[I will get you a black one, happy?]

Aarvi hummed in affirmation but, "No no, you should go to shop and get it for me personally else I will break it again. Hmph."

Aaron was smiling in front of Karsen Rivas at the Rivas hospitals while Dax was proud to know his Dum Dum is still a little lady and throws tantrums unlike going to the shop and getting one for herself.

[As you like, I have an operation scheduled now, I will get it on the way home.] Aaron was saying it but heard the commotion on the other end causing his voice to lower and hear it.

Mia, who had turned to Aarvi, saw her pouting, putting on a little grim expression speaking in low voice ignoring everyone out there and their gazes on her without getting up from the floor.

She pointed at Aarvi and scorned at her, "Aeon, you don\'t have to stupidly save the girl who tries to get your attention. Let her die and pay for dumbness."

\'Die? Tsk, Tsk brainless girl, you are provoking the dangerous couple.\' Dax thought as he imagined Mia crying her eyes out on the same day. \'But who is going to take action?\' 

Dax started to guess if Aaron was going to be a petty or his Dum Dum because wishing \'Die/Death\' to Aarvi aloud in words won\'t only provoke Dax and Aarvi but Aaron too.

\'Die? Tsk, somebody wants me dead.\' Aarvi thought hearing the lose tongue.
