Chapter 558 - My husband can't live (3)

Lara's classmate looked at Arlo who was poised irrespective of their chattering. "Sky! Are you finally dating now? Is he your boyfriend? or a husband?"

Sky couldn't respond, Lara showed Sky's left hand to her, "She isn't married. Must be a boyfriend."

Sky wanted to say Husband but hearing Lara, words stuck in her mouth and just smiled.

'Is the wedding ring so important? I'm married.'

She introduced them, "He is Arlo. Arlo! they are all my seniors."

Arlo just gave a nod as a greeting as his mind stuck on Sky's left hand. He wanted to get a ring during the new year but thinking she would reject, he replaced with the bracelet. Now he felt the necessity to get the ring as soon as possible.

"Arlo! I must say you are very lucky. A few of our classmates couldn't even get Sky's attention when they were wooing her." Lara said smilingly.

Her classmate joined, "Those are all plain in front of her handsome boyfriend."

'Visual creatures!' Sky cursed in the mind looking at a few seniors who were looking at Arlo.

After a few more talk, Sky excused herself and led Arlo aside. "See! Most of the humans are visual creatures. I didn't marry you for your face. Hmph."

Arlo looked at Sky who was glaring daggers at the crowd holding his arms. Ignoring his urge to hug her, he changed the topic. "How many wooed you?"

"I don't know why Seniors always say that. Nobody approached me except two or three in college." Sky said what she knew.

Arlo glanced at the crowd, 'Dumb woman! are you sure there were two or three?'

"Go ahead and talk to your classmates... Oh! Tell me as your secretary." 'You will get to know how many were there.' Arlo sent her when her classmates were waving looking at her.

Sky didn't think much about saying Arlo as secretary and didn't call him as listening to them would be boring for Arlo. "Be in my sight." Sky said and left.

Sky met her classmates and they chit-chatted normally. When few asked about Arlo, she replied as he said. 'My secretary'

Ladies were praising him and few even asked, 'Is he single? Can you introduce him to me?...'

"He. is. married." Was her cold reply to all their questions about Arlo. But she didn't really care what men asked or spoke to her.

Arlo heard a unknown confused tone, "President Smith?"

Arlo turned to see a man in mid twenties. He didn't know that man. He noticed Sky leaving the crowd bidding them.

"I'm sorry. You must be mistaken." Arlo coldly replied and went little aside. He many times noticed that man looking at him after it.

After some more time, Sky took two fruit juice glass and went to Arlo.

"Congratulation! I got twenty one women's requests to introduce them to you hearing me as you are my Secretary. And I saw thirteen women walking in front of you to get your attention. If you weren't cold, they must have approached you by now." Sky gave him a displeased look.

Arlo's brows twitched, "Miss. Sky Barton, Out of forty-three men who greeted you, more than thirty-three were interested in you."

He clearly saw Sky vaguely responding to men whereas they were swooning over her.

"Nonsense! They just greeted and asked a few questions out of courtesy as I don't start a conversation. How can you say that  they were interested in me?"

Arlo wanted to check what was in her head. He took a deep breath, "I'm sure you will not know even five of their names. At least can you repeat what they were telling or asking you?"

"Huh?" Sky was perplexed, 'Is it important? now?'

Sky listed a few seeing his anticipating gaze, "Where do you stay? Let's hang out once."

"Are you using the same number? Why aren't you in the X app group chat?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Where do you work? Let's go out for dinner."

"Are you staying in town A tomorrow? Let's plan something."

"May I get your number?"

"You look beautiful/Gorgeous/stunning... in the dress than Jeans."

"I liked this style than your old appearance."

"You have maintained your physique too well.

.

Do you..."

After saying some more, "...There were similar questions but why are you asking me all these?"

Arlo was speechless. He wanted to chide her for being dumb but one of her classmates came to them, "Hey Sky! How are you? Long-time."

Sky felt like she knew him but didn't remember properly, "Hello!"

Her classmate looked at her in stupefaction, "Don't tell me you forgot my name? Me! Samson. Your classmate."

Sky remembered, "Samson Tenley! You look so different now. Sorry I didn't recognize. "

Arlo felt like his ears standing up hearing the full name of that man. He looked at Samson who was good looking but had a forgetful face.

Samson laughed, "Thank goodness! You haven't forgotten. Different in the sense? Good or bad?"

Sky smiled and replied, "Good!" Samson nodded and joked, "So! Do I still stand a chance?"

Arlo subconsciously asked, "What chance?" Sky turned to Arlo, "He is just kidding."

Samson heard Arlo as Sky's secretary hence he continued to joke around, "Sky! I can again formally propose to you if you are willing to say yes."

"Oh! Re..." Arlo cut in. "You don't stand a chance."

Arlo finished and took her aside making her chuckle leaving Samson stunned. "Arlo! He was really kidding. He is already married. Why are you jealous of him?"

Arlo abruptly stopped, "Stop smiling. Do you want some more attention?"

Sky raised her hand to hold his chin and moved his gaze to the crowd, "They are already looking at us. Seniors are thinking about you as my boyfriend. I told your admirers as you are married. They gossip a lot, so in a few minutes, they will know WE are married. Duffer."

Arlo was dazed. She smartly said half-truths to everyone since he said not tell him as her husband and finally, it would deduce to 'They are married'. Sky had to poke him to see any reaction.

Arlo looked at her, "Why need of few minutes? They can know now." He took a step forward and kissed her forehead. They formed a beautiful view with windows in the background making many to gasp.

Sky's lips formed a beautiful arc with her eyes and pink cheeks. She took him to the Professors group. After greeting who she knew, she went to the Principal's office.

The principal identified her immediately. "Oh My! Look who is finally here. Sky! Come in."

After pleasantries, she introduced Arlo as her husband and continued to talk. Principal even explained Arlo how Sky used to be in college, how she was jumping off from the window of classrooms, how her protective brother always took her side even if they complained about Sky.

Arlo heard everything attentively holding her hand.
