Chapter 617 - Seductor

"You look far better than this." Sky replied nonchalantly seeing the portrait.

Arlo just smiled and held on to her.

When he searched about her he had no expectations. If she was dumb, he still wanted to keep her by his side but he never expected her to be so good in many things and even dumb enough to find mistakes in herself all the time.

He was somewhat thankful for the one who attacked the mall, if not he would never have got the chance to see her, search her and meet her.

He was thankful for his grandmother and Ryan to push him when he thought he couldn't casually meet her.

He was thankful for himself for knowing he wanted her to be happy, for joining Harley corporation, and for not using his power or money to get her which could have made her hate him and stay away from him.

He was thankful to everyone who kept his identity under wraps and helped him.

Now he couldn't even dare to imagine losing her.

Sensing her hands around him loosening, he kissed her on the crown, "Don't sleep now. Have lunch then you can rest."

He didn't want her to skip meals for one more day. She didn't want to sleep either. Listening to his heartbeats without talking for a long time made her drowsy.

It was the secure feeling in his arms that makes her relax both brain and heart which makes her body to relax and rest.

After the proper meal, to let her rest, he rested with her too till dinner time.

....

They practically stuck on to each other till he unwillingly brought her back on Monday to the Harley corporation.

Sky sent him to Sigma for finishing his previous week's full work.

She spoke with her brothers for nearly an hour till Jai ordered her to work and hung up the call but she continued to speak few more minutes with Loran before hanging up the call.

She took the five out for lunch on that day even though knowing they would tease her.

But Peter would get teased back whenever he said something like,

"Ms.Sky, we thought you won't be coming back soon from vacation considering as your late honeymoon, was it enough?"

His teasing tone made others chuckle, Sky bit on her chopsticks and asked looking at him.

"We aren't lucky as you to get fifteen days of honeymoon because of work. But what about you? You were back in a week. Were you missing these four soooooooo..... much?"

Sam knocked on her head hearing her last question. Sky giggled as Peter's face darkened and snorted.

Maxwell gave him a fist punch to Peter which confused the latter. Later all burst into laughter hearing Maxwell.

"Welcome back to single life Brother."

.

.

They finished lunch with lots of laughter before returning back to their work.

Sky returned home at the usual time with Sam and the other two behind them in another car.

Sam informed GenX hosting a celebration party for the tenth anniversary on the weekend to which she was invited. A formal invitation card would be sent by Daniel.

Sky asked him to help his brother for the party which he declined straight away saying 'I'm an Intrapreneur and our CEO is a coldblooded person. I can't waste my time.'

Sky had yanked his hair till he was annoyed. She didn't keep any time restriction on them and even she personally told him to help but she was the one who got cursed instead.

...

Sky had changed to leisurewear and was leaving the room when Arlo entered the bedroom. The latter had left his bag on the floor to fulfill her request.

"I missed you." Sky said in high pitch near his ear which made him pull his head away.

He teased her instead of chiding for shouting near his ear, "Inside?"

Sky froze for a second. She couldn't understand how he connects everything to that. She left him and glared at him, "Now I understood."

Arlo raised his brows in question. Sky snorted and left after saying. "Even you are also a man who thinks with other head."

'Wait...What?' Arlo chuckled lightly understanding what she meant before he changed and went downstairs for dinner.

After dinner, Sky showed the Manor pictures to David and Olivia. Ryan had visited once after completion so he explained to them about the manor.

"Children these days..." Olivia was visibly impressed by both grandsons.

David asked about Arlo's decision of buying the redevelopment rights of that and how he was managing it.

Bored Ryan and Sky sat aside and selected pictures for his room, Olivia joined them.

They chose some from his photoshoots, some candid and some funny posed ones. He wanted pictures with Arlo, Olivia, and Sky. Another group picture which had David too.

Even after they completed, two men continued about business. Sky threw backrest pillow at two men, "I will throw you two out if I hear such a long business talk here. Use the study for that."

Ryan chimed, "Exactly!" Olivia too, "I will support Sky."

Both men surrendered to them and stopped talking about it.

Sky again failed to coax David for celebrating his birthday. She respected his decision and didn't bring up again.

After getting fresh, Sky snuggled in his arms to sleep. But Arlo's senses didn't listen to him.

"Why do you smell like lavender even though you don't use that flavor?"

He asked trying to get up from the bed. Sky was still holding on to his hand, "Do I smell like lavender? Anyway, where are you going?"

Arlo darted his look towards the dressing room to which Sky couldn't help but giggle and pulled him back. She knew he didn't want her to misunderstand him thinking he gave more importance to physical relation.

She raised her forefinger as she blushed under dim light, "We have office tomorrow."

But they ended up add on times to her forefinger before they fell asleep. Arlo turned off her alarm and sent a message to her trainers before he slept.

In the morning,

Sky was half awake when Arlo laid her gently in the bathtub. "Arlo! Didn't I tell you once?" She hit him with her weak hand which was just a touch on him.

"You asked for the second time." Arlo sounded like a wronged child.

Sky shot him daggers feeling fully awake, "Who told you to seduce me? And what about another time?"

Arlo chuckled and went to shower block, "You can rest in Sigma after your morning meeting."

Sky rolled her eyes and didn't answer.

'Why does everyone say Woman seduces a man? When I have a man seductor?'
