Chapter 439 - A Spy

In the high-end cafe, the customers were fewer. A soothing piece of music was playing behind setting the relaxing vibe. The customers inside weren't really excited to see high-profile people over there. All minded their work as it was common to find such people there.

At the corner table which was next to the glass wall overlooking the city, three were busy discussing something. Each of their one coffee increased to two, and then three. Before Aarvi could order the next one, Shawn flicked on her hand and Dax sent the waiter away.

Unbelievably, Dax remained gravely calm and asked how they got to know about Tia's mask, why they didn't know Tia's background and how could Aarvi be so careless to let such people around her. Apparently, he was worried about Aarvi.

Aarvi explained most of the things about the investigation her team found out and kept her updated. Shawn briefed him how Rivas and Aarvi's teams failed to know about Tia's background in earlier days.

It was obvious they initially didn't do a deep check as nothing looked complicated. However even after Aarvi's team started the out-and-out investigation of Tia, they were still at loss.

It clearly notified them Tia or her background isn't a small fish as they had finely fabricated all the data of real Tia Spencer with the fake Tia. What was more shocking to them was fake Tia living with real Tia Spencer's house and the real Tia doesn't have any sister or cousin sister.

The more they were digging in about real and fake Tia, things were just getting complicated. However, the three over there were concerned about each other first before thinking of others.

"You- Why are you just uptight about me? We two were…" Aarvi didn't continue and Dax understood they were afraid he would be hurt emotionally and he might start loathing girls again. Of course, Aarvi was excluded.

Dax ignored it and spoke about his analysis of the current situation with respect to Tia, "There are too many complexities. I don't think…" He paused looking at two glaring at him. 

He wasn't a fragile doll to be worried so much, "I am alright guys. I swear." Dax tried but the two didn't believe him.

You shouldn't have friends who know each of your reactions. They easily catch you and it would be so hard to outwit them.

Dax sighed and leaned back on his chair, "I wasn't shocked or surprised hearing about Tia. It was like you gave a conclusion to my doubts." 

Since he was against dating, relationsh.i.p.s, he had thought he might be overthinking and being highly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e about Tia's behavior. After hearing Shawn mention Tia is deceiving them, his face had darkened because he had ignored the alarming signs and that negligence might have put Aarvi in danger. 

He never once thought about his relationship with Tia. They didn't start a relationship due to love, it was pure interest. So they weren't even close enough to be called good friends. They were still trying to know each other. 

Dax continued to tell them about his analysis and experiences with Tia so that it could put his two worried muppets calm and find some clue that could help them find out the real identity of fake Tia.

"Tia is well-trained in fights. Her reflexes are sometimes faster than mine and her precision is unimaginably sharp." 

He clearly remembers when the lettuce was falling from the vegetable basket, Tia who was helping his mother was at lightning speed to hold it who was more than five steps away.

And when Tia was waiting for him near Skylar, she was expecting him to come by car but he had walked up to her. He was about to tap her shoulder from behind but she had locked his arm before his hand could even touch her shoulder. That attentiveness had shocked him.

Even though Tia had cried saying he scared her out of her wits, he had noticed her fl.u.s.ter to hide her defense skills. Such little scattered events weren't major but after putting them together, he knew there was something she was trying to hide.

A common girl living an uneventful life having such abilities really inflates suspicions. And that's the reason Dax was curious to know more about her. But it was never enough. It always fascinated him that she had so many skills which weren't related to her simple shopkeeper job.

While thinking of Dax's words, Aarvi mindlessly said as it was hard to believe Tia had such a strong personality. For her she used to look like a naive, innocent girl who should be protected, "She is scared of thunder." Probably she would feel protected for every woman excluding her mother.

Shawn and Dax snickered at her words. Shawn responded to her disbelief, "If I leave a rat at your feet, you will scream and climb on the table." He meant she is sinister and destructive but also scared of little things. So she shouldn't interconnect those things.

Aarvi pursed her lips and reasoned again, "She is so petite and cute."

Dax and Shawn wanted to sigh because she had already formed an invisible bond with Tia that it was getting hard for her to believe easily. In contrast to that, Dax actually had no such strong attachment to Tia.

Nevertheless, Shawn and Dax looked at each other and broke into joyous laughter high fiving each other. "Damn, she actually said that."

Dax extended his long arms and pinched her pink cheeks but shook her face as though she was a little school girl, "That's why you are Dum Dum. How innocent."

Aarvi: "..."

She slapped his hand and Shawn's hand which was petting her head. She snorted, understanding that appearance never does justice. Look at Aarvi, she looked innocent and sweet but she wasn't just that. She was a schemer, a malicious one at that. 

Dax continued looking at Aarvi's narrow eyes, "Seeing Tia keep things low, I felt that this idiot and his brother must have planted her near you to keep you safe. Since you might feel being monitored, they might be hiding it from you." 

Upon that, Shawn suddenly became Tia's brother and actively tried to push her close to him. Hence Dax wanted to wait till Tia could be able to trust him and speak everything with him.

Now that Shawn is completely unaware of Tia's identity, the seriousness of the situation has intensified. "Is it possible Grandfather Kelly…"

Shawn cut in before Dax could even complete and Aarvi's mood sours, "Nope. He has no idea that Little Heart has a private office. He probably thinks she works at Skylar." Anyway, Kelly International wasn't near or around the florist shop to spot her unexpectedly.

Dax nodded at that response and guessed another man, "Brother Zain?"

"Nope. Apple Pie would have definitely told me." Aarvi is sure of it. Zain would never leave a little room that could worry her even the slightest. "Anyway, I have messaged Apple Pie to call me as soon as he gets time." She actually didn't want to increase his workload. Since Dax was involved, she wanted to solve this soon as Zain could reach far more confidential data of the country including people's identity

The trio continued to discuss what could be Tia's motive to be around Aarvi with somebody else's identity. Since Leon was looking everywhere for Aarvi and even attacked Susan Parkinson, they were kind of sure she wasn't a spy set by Leon.

Then who might be tracking Aarvi for two years?
