Chapter 240 - Mastermind

They were talking about the next move on Leon Harmon. There is nothing to be happy about uttering his name so Aaron narrowed his eyes at the girl who was giggling and snuggling against his chest.

Aarvi revealed spreading her fingers one by one in front of them, "My next plan is to go on a date, a date, a date, and another date with you. There is nothing planned for Leon Harmon."

He shooed his grim away in a snap realizing she was happy for the plans to go on dates with him for the coming days. That means she was free and will spend time with him. 

He scooped her in his arms and carefully placed her on the couch. Then he grabbed her laptop from the center table and handed her. He cupped her face and planted a soft kiss on her forehead to earn a beautiful smile. "Complete your work, we will go out for lunch."

He was leaving but she quickly tugged his hand. She had a lot of questions to ask but his work is also important. Should she wait till evening? "Do you have lots of work?"

Aaron paused and realized she wants to talk to him about something looking at her seriousness, "I have all the time for you." He kissed her fingers before flashing his attractive smile to her and went to his desk.

Aarvi smiled helplessly but his words undoubtedly melted her heart. She wasn't possessive to ask him all his time for herself. Even though she would love to spend a lot of time with him, a good quality time is also enough for them to be happy and long for each other till the evening.

She never craved a luxurious life even though she wanted to be an entrepreneur. Her wish was always simple as a little Ava Kelly or Aarvi Evans. 

One at home to talk after the long day. She knows none can fill that other than Aaron and she wanted nobody else but him.

Aaron leaned his head on knuckles looking at her soft gaze at him, he really wanted to read her mind to know what could bring that gorgeous smile of hers. But he teased, "Missing me?" 

His playful tone caught her attention and her eyes wandered without focusing anywhere as she shook her head, "Work Aaron."

Aaron smiled resignedly and started his work to complete soon. 

Aarvi was bewildered looking at Dax's endless stream of messages asking her to enjoy with Aaron and he will handle the company. She was truly wordless reading if they should postpone his birthday celebration so that they could have their NOISY night.

After hearing herself a few minutes back, Aarvi knew what it meant by noisy and 'their night'.

She typed a message to reply to it, [Nosy.] Anyway, she backspaced it and left her mobile aside. She decided to look into office work and Dax's teases after lunch. So she checked on the status of her plans.

At Harmon Industries,

After failing yet again, Leon also failed to cool himself and went to his office. His desk had filled with loads of files and there was lots of pending work to be carried out.

It wasn't only delayed because his focus was being split on numerous works due to Ava Kelly brutally winning in her games, he had to take care of the most important project, the Chemical manufacturing plant bid. As though it wasn't enough to keep him occupied, he has to curb his anger against the Dawson family for demanding marriage for business partnership.

He turned to Dylan and ordered, "I don't care what you guys do, I want Ava Kelly's complete details." 

His fingers balled up into tight fists guessing the next plan of Ava Kelly, "Make sure the project team is clean. Keep a man or two around Sara Dawson for her safety. No problem should arise until we win the bid."

Dylan felt it reasonable, whatever Leon earned till now was a failure against Ava Kelly. She could strike him by destroying the relationship between Harmon and Dawson which will cease the investment or she could manipulate their team.

He responded to Leon who was glaring at his laptop, "I will double-check everything related to the project." Just then Dylan's mobile rang and he answered it taking a few steps away from the desk. 

Meanwhile, Leon remembered the girl 'Beauty in Black' of Sean Harmon. Ava Kelly couldn't only affect the project through their team and the Dawson family but also Sean Harmon. 'Could she be Ava Kelly?'

He grabbed his mobile to send Ava Kelly's picture to Sean but paused. He has to handle Sean Harmon damn carefully else Sean wouldn't care about the business deal and blindly go behind Beauty in Black.

He sent a message to Sean, [Champ, drop by my office. I have something to show you.]

In no time, he got the response, [Bro, I will be there in an hour.]

He was keeping his mobile aside when Dylan returned to report. "Brother Leon, we have no evidence to tell how Ava Kelly reached the Hays International and who was with her. President Hays is unconscious and his secretary lost his mind. He is only uttering Ghost."

This time Leon wasn't surprised or annoyed instead he had expected it. "Where are they?"

Dylan understood who Leon meant by 'they' and responded according to the information he had, "Shawn Rivas is in Rivas mansion, Dax Grant at Skylar, Zain Kelly is in Kelly mansion. President Kelly is in Kelly International. There is no suspicious movement from anybody."

Zain didn't want Leon to be suspicious for not finding his location so he made sure his men to think he was in the Kelly mansion doing nothing but drink all day and waste time.

Coming to Shawn, Aarvi had hidden his movements so Leon's men believed he hadn't left his mansion.

They couldn't find any clue on Ava Kelly meeting any of her friends. After her fake death, the two friends hardly met unlike how they hangout frequently with Ava Kelly.

The questions were unlimited without responses. Even after knowing who is the mastermind, the questions didn't seem to lower but became difficult and messier to solve. 

Leon Harmon was connecting all his problems so he asked, "What is the status of President of Skylar and Amiah's shareholder investigation?"

Dylan really doubted Ava Kelly as the shareholder of Amiah entertainment even though they had no proof of it. He placed his tab in front of Leon Harmon and briefed him about the so-far investigation.

"Nobody knows about Amiah's major shareholder excluding Aeon. And you know him better than me." Dylan purposefully sighed. 

Even if the shareholder won't put a constraint on confidentiality, he would personally keep it secret so that Leon won't buy off the shareholder.

Leon is aware of his younger brother's life and his style of handling things but coming to the current situation, Leon strongly felt Ava might reach his weakness.

Importantly, 'does she really know my weaknesses?' Leon thought and waved his hand at Dylan to continue as he swiped his hand on the screen to check the details of Skylar.

Leon jerked up as soon as his eyes fell on the confidential papers of Skylar signed by Ava Kelly and Dax Grant after opening the company.
