Chapter 385 - Darling! stop stealing my lines(4)

"Sister Sky!" Loran said.

"Me!" Sam said.

"I will be on my little sister's side." Joe said as he stretched.

Before Arlo could answer, Ryan cried, "Why do you all men take her side?" He thought they will take his side considering Sky was a weak player.

Sky and others started laughing, "Let's choose one after another. You can go first."

"Arlo"

"Loran" Sky chose. Her choice would always be her brothers.

"Mr.Cox"

"Oh! Sam is gone! Brother Joe... Hmmm, Alex?" Sky looked at Alex who was standing away from them.

"Sister Sky, I will rest. You guys play." Alex said and sat nearby enjoying the view as he scored their match.

They started the game soon. Sky was a setter, Loran was a libero and Joe was a hitter. Due to Sky, Loran and Joe's coordinated well. Due to Ryan, Sam and Arlo were irritated from time to time.

Sky noticed Ryan targeting her many times. "Mr.Ray, You will be dead meat if I win." Sky glowered. "We will see that Ms.Sky." Ryan was very confident...

Both teams reached the game point.

"Ryan, what is the punishment you are planning for Sky if they lose?" Arlo asked when Ryan went to serve the ball.

"I will ask her to date you. Simple." Ryan said nonchalantly and served the ball.

Arlo was speechless.

"President Smith pack your bags." Sam said sarcastically and played.

Arlo gritted his teeth and pushed the ball out letting Sky's team win.

Sky celebrated with her brothers while Ryan chided Arlo. Sky took the ball and tossed in her hands, "Mr.Ray?" She strode to other court scaring Ryan. The latter started running remembering her say dead meat .

Initially, Sky had no plans to hit him but she changed her mind when she heard him shouting, "Crazy girl"

Sky chased him and threw the ball which hit him on his back. All were surprised by her aim excluding Loran who knew about her. Ryan let out a yell, "You are bizarre."

Sky pouted and broke a thin tree branch. She chased him and hit him only twice before throwing the stick. Since both were tired running on sand in flipflops, they collapsed and breathed heavily.

...

Loran laughed looking at the duo and went to water as he was sweating.

"President Harley! Is she really the one heading the company?" Joe smiled looking at her.

"Just because she is president, She doesn't have to lose her childlike nature." Arlo commented and moved towards Sky and Ryan. Arlo referred Sky and he also meant it for Ryan.

Sam also moved towards Sky and commented on Joe's questions, "She is better than us. She knows when to enjoy and when to be serious."

Joe wasn't doubting her, he was surprised by her. But after seeing, how Arlo protected her, his dislike towards him decreased a little.

Realizing Sam coming behind, Arlo slowed down his pace. "Mr.Cox, How did you manage to hack my laptop?" When he heard Sky say Sigma was behind the fiasco of the Harley anniversary, he doubted.

Sam's lips turned up but he didn't answer.

"I know you were behind it. I don't have any proof. But I'm really curious to know the reason."

"Sky!" Sam just replied in a word to let Arlo analyze. Arlo was confused but started to link dots and Sky's working habits.

"So Sky asked you to investigate event management companies. After knowing it's from Sigma, You helped her to do all these... No doubt, Sky trusts you in everything." Arlo was envious of Sam who flashed him a rare smile.

"I didn't hack, my first attempt password was OliviaSkyRyan which is your Harley system password. Sky2703 is easy to remember." Sam said and strode off.

Arlo tried his best not to show any reaction hearing the password which had the date he met Sky. When the duo reached, Sky and Ryan were laughing at the latter's joke.

"Mr.Ray, if you do some makeover, You will look like Assistant Wilson and you can easily scam Sigma industries."

Ryan didn't know whether to laugh or play dumb at her sentence. Arlo coughed lightly to divert their attention. Sam sat beside Sky and checked her red wrists.

"Is it paining?" Sam asked. He had seen her wrist half a way to match but he didn't disturb her.

Sky shook her, "It will be little sore but it's not unbearable."

Sam nodded and pulled her up, "The sun is blazing. Let's go inside."

All went back inside. After lunch, they strolled in the city and bought many things. Most of them were for Sam and Loran by Sky. She only brought chocolate for herself before going to the airport.

She bid to Joe and was leaving, Joe asked sincerely, "Grandfather is in the car, Shall I... call him?"

Sky bit her lip and nodded, Joe waved his hand at a car. Sky saw old master Milton getting down and she held Joe's arm. "Brother Joe!" Joe turned to her thinking she would reject.

"I agreed to talk to you only because I considered you like a different individual. But your father or grandfather didn't accept my Dad and I'm not ready to accept them either. Brother Jai convinced me, so I agreed to you respecting his age. So please don't keep any expectation on me relating to this."

Joe had no option other than nodding. Old master Milton reached them. He was in mid-seventies, he used the cane to walk. Sky could say he was still dominant by his approach. But as he reached them, his expression turned gentle.

Sky kept her poker face even when old master Milton was smiling. She slightly bowed her head to respect his age. He cupped Sky's face in amusement. Sky's clutch on Joe's arms tightened slightly.

"Child! You look like your mom... Just like my dear daughter." he said and left her face.

He held her left hand and patted. "Old man is really sorry for my abrupt visit. I can only hope that you forgive me for whatever I have done to your mother. I always heard about you from your cousin. So I came to meet. Even if you don't forgive me, don't keep this brat away..."

Sky looked at Joe but still maintained her cold expression. She continued to hear the Old master Milton till Loran came to her whispered, "Sister Sky, We have to board."

Sky smiled at Loran and nodded. "Brother Joe, I will leave."

Joe nodded and kissed on her crown. Sky slightly bowed her head to Old master Milton and left with Loran.
