Chapter 495 - It's because of you! Dummy!

The smile on Arlo's face froze. He concentrated on the road ignoring her.

"Fine! Don't tell me! You will pay for it eventually." Sky clearly threatened.

Arlo's lips twitched. She was capable to do what she said so he gave in, "You are President, I'm a secretary. So I took the time to tell but due to grandmother everything changed."

"Oh!" Sky didn't react much to it but her questions followed on, "That was the reason you wanted to cook for me."

Arlo nodded.

"That was the reason you wanted to work under me."

Arlo hummed.

"That was the reason you stayed by my side every day."

.

As she continued one after another, Arlo's face was red. "Sky! when you already understood, why are you asking me?"

Sky pursed her lips and took his picture after turning him towards her, "Arlo!"

Sky passed the phone to him and laughed. "For this!" 

Arlo realized she was doing it on purpose. He deleted the picture and turned to her to change the topic, "Yesterday you were saying because of the kiss you what?"

Sky glared at him, "You will pay for that too."

"How did you find out?" Arlo asked curiously after entering the elevator.

"Your mole!" Sky pointed at her neck behind the ear. "And... the same way you locked my four limbs"

He touched his mole. Only two knew about it, Olivia and Ryan. now Sky also knew about it.

Sky answered before leaving the elevator. "And because of you, I don't stay in the dark." Dim lights in her room at night were because of that.

Arlo followed her. Both didn't talk anymore and got back to work. During lunch, Sky's questionnaire continued.

When she almost finished her lunch, Arlo's face was another shade of red. Sky noticed but didn't stop.

"By the way! your Senior Tom knew about you and hence he indirectly proposed me on behalf of you. Isn't it? You knew I could make him tell the truth so you diverted. Am I right?"

Arlo was already so much tortured that he was tired. Seeing him not responding, Sky asked a different question, "Are you regretting now?"

Arlo shook his head promptly. "Then why aren't you answering?" Sky asked again.

"Every senior of mine knows about it. Including the Barton parents, your dad, your friends, your brothers."

Sky was dumbstruck. She tried to speak but nothing came out of her mouth. Arlo patiently waited as he corrected her hair strands gently.

"Sh*t! So everything happened with their consent and I didn't even know. That's why they agreed happily when I told I was marrying you." Sky finally gave words to her thoughts.

She understood Jai knew he wasn't gay hence he let her marry him. It wasn't only because she said she wanted to marry.

Arlo laughed gently and kept all the plates to the washbasin. Sky finished drinking water and got down from the barstool.

"I should tell them how you asked... No! how you ordered me to marry you questioning my credibility. They will get to know who they supported. Hmph." Sky kept both glasses near washbasin and was leaving Arlo held her back.

"Sky! Didn't you tell them about it that day?" Arlo thought Sky already told them hence he had told them to apologize.

Sky shook her head. "Nope! I just told I was marrying you for Grandmother's wish."

He pulled her to his embrace, "Silly girl! I already told everything whatever I did."

She didn't tell anything which meant she didn't want anyone to have negative thoughts about him. It meant a lot to him.

Sky waited a few seconds in his embrace understanding Jai already knew about Arlo's fiasco then she punched him hard, "What do you think you are doing?"

Arlo left her after a hard punch on his waist, "Okay, You can leave! Ms.Sky." He kissed on her forehead fondly.

Sky kicked on his leg before leaving. Their work continued and both left on time. Sky again tortured him with questions when he by mistake spoke about previous day events.

He thought he should get an award for answering the questions which she already knew the answers. He was happy that instead of avoiding, she spoke to him.

"So were you good to me for me or for my position?" This was the last question which she asked when they entered the Harley mansion.

"Do you think I care about your position? It was because of YOU ! Dummy." He caressed her hair and stopped in tracks. He coughed lightly, "Sky! I will be working with Ray. If you think I am going for him, you can come with me."

Sky saw his attractive tensing face for a few seconds and asked, "How can you expect me to see guys' making out?"

His expression turned rigid thinking she still thinks him as...

Sky chortled, "I'm just kidding. Carry on." Sky took two steps towards David but turned back to him, "Arlo! keep these in my room. Thank you!"

"My?" Instead of taking her laptop and jacket he asked back.

Sky pouted and changed, "Your room too." Sky knew what he wanted to hear. ' how can I easily change my room to our room?'

"Your?" Arlo purposefully asked as he took her bag and Jacket. He was happy to hear that reply. Instead of 'Yes! my room.' reply, she accepted it was his room too.

"Arlo! Don't you think you are asking too much?"

Seeing her gritting teeth, "It's enough for today." He said and left.

Sky always ignored him and he would run upstairs daily. Seeing their small interaction, Olivia and David were elated. Sky spent some time with them, had dinner with all.

Arlo, Ryan went back to the latter's room. Sky took a bath before helping Olivia to her room. Even though Olivia had a caretaker if Sky was present she would help her before leaving.

After chatting with David for some time, Sky went back to her room and as usual, she kept pillows in the center and slept on her side.

When Arlo entered she was fast asleep. He knew at this rate he wouldn't get proper time with Sky. He thought about a different solution as he went to get fresh.

--

The next day Sky continued to torture with her questions purposefully until he asked back when they were on the way to the Cox family to pick Mia.

"Sky! What's cooking in your mind? Why are you asking when you already know?"

"Oh!" Sky turned back her eyes on the road. "I'm trying to irritate you to see how you flare-up on me."

He slammed on brakes. He wanted to ask 'who does that?' but he knew her sweet response to that. ' ME '

Sky turned to him and raised her brows. Arlo carefully asked, "Why?"
