Sky waved her hands in front of Arlo who looked dazed and asked him to continue with studies. But he had lost his mood and was going off track while explaining.
"Arlo! What happened to you?" Sky asked in confusion.
Arlo shook his head and his clenched fists were getting tighter as he was controlling himself. "Can we stop for today?"
"No problem. Are you fine? Are you feeling unwell?" Sky asked with a worried expression.
She could make out his gentle and soft movements turned cold with his voice and the eye contact which he used to make while speaking was looking all around.
"I'm fine. I will leave now." Arlo said and left without waiting for Sky's reply.
They would always leave together till basement one, Seeing him leave abruptly, she felt really strange. Seeing his back made her feel like he was lonely.
She shook her head to stop overthinking and called Sam to her office.
Sky handed him the card and showed the dress. "They are real diamonds, it would cost him millions. why did he send it to me? Upon that he is asking for dinner with the card. I'm not even close to him to spend so much."
Sam pondered for a while, "Sky! Do you like him?"
Sky shook her head without hesitation. "I gave him face only because of Brother Joe and Dad. But why are you asking this?"
"Where is Arlo?" Sam asked as it was still their study time.
"He went off, I don't know what happened, He started to behave strange and left office." Sky still felt strange about his departure.
"Why are you so dumb?" Sam shook his head resignedly and sat on the couch.
"Sam!" Sky stood up from the chair and went towards him, "Why are you saying this? I didn't do anything."
Sam knocked on her head hard, "I sometimes doubt if you have a brain or not."
Sky rubbed her head with one hand and pinched his arm with another hand. "You are the one who doesn't have a brain."
Sam rubbed his temples and told her, "Kris Lan will propose you today. Have fun."
He stood up and stuffed the dress to her hands.
"Samuel Cox! That's the worst joke." Sky threw the dress on the couch and glared at him.
Kris didn't even know about her. She never cared to know him. Why will the nation titled, 'Nation's Husband' will propose to me? She felt it as very absurd.
"Sky! Do I look like joking? And why can't he propose to you?" Sam asked in seriousness.
Sky instantly replied, "He has hell lots of beautiful, talented girls around him. Why will he come to me? I will return the dress and ping him, I will not go."
Sky stood up to fetch her mobile. Sam didn't know whether to laugh or not at her comment.
He pulled her back in front of him. "Everyone knew why he was asking you out for dinners except the dumb You. Even Joe Milton and your dad knows. Leave them, your brothers also knew."
Sky looked at him horror, "You are not kidding and pulling a prank on me. right?"
Sam hit his own forehead. "Do you think I have nothing to do?"
Sky turned towards the floor to ceiling mirror, "I don't even look so good. Is he blind?"
Sam wanted to puke blood. Even though she wasn't like voluminous, She had good height and perfect hourglass body with a very beautiful and attractive face. And she was saying she doesn't look good.
"You are the dumb woman I have ever seen in my life." Sam said but he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Mia is far smarter than you." Sam said and laughed.
"You are the dumbest man. Never mind, I will not go." Sky again was going to take her mobile but stopped by Sam.
"Don't!" Sam said. Sky didn't let Sam continue, "Is he trying to propose because of Harley? If yes! he is cunning."
"Sky!" Sam called calmly. "If you speak nonsense, I will strangle you. Listen to me."
Seeing his grim expression, Sky became silent and nodded. "If you don't go today, he will try again next time. I don't think you want him to cling on to you due to this."
Sky nodded. Sam continued, "If you keep avoiding him, he will try different ways. So isn't it better to clear your viewpoint if he really proposes?"
"So... do I have to go today?" Sky asked in a low voice for not to make him angry.
"Yes!" Sam replied.
"What if I hurt his male ego by rejecting? He may get angry or insult me." Sky asked.
Sam laughed, "You aren't a meek woman to sit quietly for that. I will be nearby or in the car."
Sky nodded. "Okay! I will be polite unless he doesn't test me."
Sam was praying she doesn't go and beat him up. "By the way, you don't have to lie to me, Do you really not like him? Nation's husband You know."
Sky snorted, "Just because he has blue eyes and good physique, do I have to like him?"
"Let's go then." Sky was stuffing the gown as she said.
"Aren't you wearing it? You liked the dress." Sam asked.
"As I am not accepting his proposal, why should I wear it?" Sky asked nonchalantly.
"Wear it and what will happen?" Since she liked, he thought she could try it.
A sly glint flashed across her, "Done." She took it and went to the room. After about five minutes, she came out looking stunning.
She twirled holding a long down jacket in her hand and asked, "How do I look?"
"Ask Kris Lan." Sam laughed and pulled her out after taking her phone and wallet.
Sky asked Sam to stop near a shoe outlet and sent him to get particular shoes of her size.
He bought it and gave her, "This doesn't go with your outfit." He was holding knee-length leather boots in his hands.
"I know!" Sky said casually and took it.
