Chapter 538 - I don't even know you

Jai caressed her head as he continued, "I know he hurt you so you are ignoring him. I'm not asking it because you two have to solve it by yourself. But... if anything is serious, you have to tell me. Understood?"

Sky nodded again. Jai asked, "How about we two beat him up? Then you will feel relaxed."

Sky released him as she chuckled, "Deal! You break one bone and I will break one."

"Cheapskate! How can you be happy with one?" Jai showed a displeased look as he led her towards Arlo.

"Then I will call an ambulance, You break his each and every bone." Sky said which was expected by her.

Well! She would only tell that to Jai.

After bidding goodbye, Sky sat in the car with Mia when Jai spoke to Arlo, "If I can let her be with you, I can also do the opposite. Hope you don't repeat again."

"Never!" A determined voice heard before they departed.

Even though he didn't know what Jai spoke to Sky, he knew it was about their issue. But he wasn't sure whether Sky was responding to him due to Mia or by her will.

He would get to know at the end of the week when Mia leaves. But if it was because Mia, he didn't want her to leave.

They returned to Harley mansion after finishing work in Harley corporation.

Mia returned to the Cox family next weekend and Ethan surprised everyone saying he wouldn't be celebrating his birthday and would spend his time with family. James thanked Sky but the latter didn't even know what she did.

Since he wasn't celebrating, Sky called Ethan for dinner which would be after he returns from his farmhouse with his parents.

After pondering for a long time, Sky decided to sleep in her room instead of a different room. But she still ignored him. She couldn't make up her mind to talk to him.

Arlo was surprised but he was happy at least she wasn't running away. He slept on his end, without disturbing her.

Sky sent Andy to Optimum to represent Harley corporation. Ryan visited for formality. Arlo was at home with Sky and others. Sky heard Daniel didn't attend and accompanied his son and wife with his daughter. So Sam didn't have to attend either.

In the office, everyone was used to Mia's presence and they started to miss her and one director asked after the end of the meeting.

"She returned back home." Sky replied as she went out. Even Sky kind of missed her so she replied.

She didn't let it affect her work and worked as usual. End of the day, Sky got to know Jai passed the selection process where he had to pass all the physical fitness tests. She breathed a sigh of relief after knowing.

After a few days, Sky, Arlo, Sam and the other four went to dinner with Ethan. Ryan joined them after some time. Sky gifted him full grooming set after knowing from his mom the brands he used and he liked.

All enjoyed food with drinks. Ethan selected a duet song to sing and handed the mike to Sky, "Go with your husband and sing."

Sky shoved back the mike, "I can't sing."

"Sky! I chose the song which matches your tone. Go go." He then bent and whispered to her, "Your husband sings well, he will manage. If I ask him for solo, he will not sing"

Sky rolled her eyes at him. Ethan again spoke loudly, "Hey! isn't this my birthday dinner? Why do you always take footage?"

All chimed in. Sky thought Arlo would reject but he took the mike and even waited for her. "I will take the gift back." Sky snorted at Ethan and saw the song.

She wanted to faint to escape instead of singing 'Come as you are' song.

Sky looked at everyone who was waiting for them to start even by stopping to drink. Ethan grinned when he met Sky's gaze.

'Arlo started: Hey, let go. Just come as you are.

Sky: Hey, I know! I'm just protecting my heart.

You know I wanna give it all

But I'm afraid I'm just too scared

Arlo: You don't have to worry

I'm not going anywhere

Arlo+Sky: I want everything about you

I love every single scar, oh-woah

Come as you are

Come as you are

Come as you are

Sky: You've been there for me

Yeah, right from the start

Arlo: So why don't you reach for me

Step out of the dark?

Sky: You know I wanna give it all

But I'm afraid I'm just too scared

.

.

Sky: I tried to give it all

But I'm afraid I'm just too scared

I know I don't have to worry

You're not going anywhere

You want everything about me

You love every single scar, oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah

Come as you are

Come as you are

.

.

Come as you are'

Everyone liked and clapped for them. But Sky and Arlo felt like they were singing about themselves. Sky gave a faint smile to everyone before going back and sitting between Sam and Ethan.

"You guy's match each other well." Ethan complimented and Sam hummed for it making Sky roll her eyes.

In fact, Sky felt the same. She didn't find herself tuneless while singing with Arlo. Or As Ethan said, the song must have suited her tone.

Since songs were selected by others than the one who was singing, When it was Sky's turn again, Clark chose a song and said it suited her tone. She choked on her mocktail seeing the song title. 'Loved you once'

"Hey! Do I look like a love failure person? Why are you choosing it? I'm not singing."

Clark paused and scratched his head, "Sister Sky! Sing for Brother Peter. He heard this song five times today after fighting with Sister-in-law because she wanted to meet her parents and went for a few days."

All looked at Peter who was smiling after lots of drinks. Sky lightly coughed, "What if he drinks more? And why did you guys let him drink so much?"

Sam patted on her back. "Don't worry! Tomorrow he will be alright."

Sky nodded and gave in to their request half-heartedly. She didn't want to associate with the song as previous but it turned worse as she continued to finish the song.

"Back here in the same town, same bar

But now... I don't even know you

It's like we look down, ignore

Now... nothing's like it used to

Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
