The Traps of Black Swan

After the assumption that the search engine is drunk, Aarvi thought if men have 6 or 13 sensitive spots. 

'How can the internet give two different answers? Aaron is right, we can't trust the Internet, it's biology is so weaker than mine.' She thought and started counting women's sensitive areas.

'The pink world, the bosoms.' that she knew, 'Lips, neck, and ear.' Her experience. 'Only five?' She tried to remember any movie scenes or live scenes she might have caught in the clubs.

"Bums? Skin contact too, then?" She mumbled to herself thinking if she should search looking at her mobile and will men have similar too. Just then, her mobile rang displaying, 'Aaron.'

She tossed her mobile in fluster as though she was caught doing something bad. She first peeked behind, inside the bedroom to confirm he wasn't standing somewhere.

The master bedroom in the penthouse had no door for the bathroom. She never thought about the architecture before, now she felt the need of it if in case she and Aaron stayed over at the penthouse.

Breathing a sigh, she took her mobile out of the water and answered the call thanking the waterproof feature of it, "Missing me so soon?" Aarvi teased.

She heard footsteps, probably he was walking away from somebody or dismissed somebody controlling the faint curve of his lips. Anyway, he snapped, "Get out of water."

Alarmed, Aarvi slid deeper into the water and realized the water was just slightly warm, "Aaron Rivas, you didn't dare to sneak in my bedroom, did you?"

Aaron must have controlled laughing hearing her but he threw the hot potato back, "Aarvi Evans, your bathroom doesn't have a door, you haven't locked the bedroom door. Shawn and the cleaner know your penthouse passcode, how dare you lie in the bathtub so carelessly?"

Aarvi felt cold run down her spine hearing him. Damn, why didn't she think of all that? 

"Ah… I… Blame your architect for not keeping the door. Hmph." She quickly got out of the water, pulled the bath towel around her before running to the bedroom door to lock it.

And Aaron who was hearing the noise let out a throaty chuckle. Staying with him, she obviously let her guard down too much.

He just guessed she might be in the bathtub but didn't expect her to still be sitting in there. He came to the main point, "Mrs. Wen is on the way to the salon, would you like to go?"

Aarvi thought if she didn't give her number to Esme, she decided to give today understanding Esme contacted Milo Wen and passed the message through Aaron.

Since Aarvi couldn't trust anyone, Esme always brought her to the salon where the appointments should be taken a minimum of a month before. An appointment could be reserved for two so Esme always adds up her name and personally chooses the attendants to serve them. It's a different matter for members of the diamond cardholders.

"Alright, then I will see you at the mall," Aarvi responded.

Oh yeah, Aarvi had changed her date plans to make a movie date. She didn't want to exhaust him after a long day so a simple date evening.

"Enjoy your day." He was about to hang up the call in relief thinking she will relax her day without workload but heard her hurriedly say, "Aaron, Aaron wait…"

Aarvi continued after hearing his hum in acknowledgment. She sounded hesitant but still requested, "Hmmm… Will you go and buy tickets for us? Please… And also a big tub of popcorn with… I will manage with a mojito, you can choose a soda for yourself."

They can order everything online, hearing her mention it, he understood he has to buy it personally to make it more special for her. "Sure, I will do that." Those tiny wishes were easy to fulfill and she had nothing big but little sweet ones.

Another request sent out quickly, "Then shall I make you wait?... Five minutes maximum. Let everyone admire the handsome man waiting, I will break the show and take you away making them go green in envy." She laughed a naughty one before adding sweetly, "Pleaseeeee…"

Aaron on the other end could make out her tilted head requesting him in an adorable voice. He had heard girls make their boyfriends wait for hours but his girlfriend was 'requesting' him to wait for five minutes.

His lips involuntarily curled up understanding she just wants them to be like a simple couple in a relationship without the power of family or money.

"Doozy."

At Luxe A Salon,

Aarvi reached the salon on time without making Esme wait. After greeting and exchanging a few polite words, they entered the salon to the vast reception area which looked no less than any luxurious hotel.

On the way in, she noticed Sara Dawson and Eliza Lane talking closely with each other waiting for their car in the reception area.

A hint of thrill flashed in her eyes at the thought of Sean or Leon or both in the area to pick them. She would love to play with their emotions and mind, especially Leon. Whereas Sean was a little evil boy and clingy, she was least interested to face him.

She stood a few steps away from Esme and her assistant if in case Leon was around the reception area. 

She was wearing back her sunglasses when she caught the eyes of Eliza on her. They never met before, so she wasn't sure why Eliza was strangely looking at her.

As though it wasn't enough to put her brain busy, Eliza excused herself from Sara and reached her, "Excuse me…" Her melodic voice sounded.

Aarvi motioned her hand at Esme to cue her to leave. She can't take risk of anybody revealing that she is acquainted with Esme. The latter understood that they had to behave unknown so she left without reacting to Sara's awe gaze on her.

Aarvi maintained her serene expression making it hard for Eliza to read. Eliza continued, "I am sorry to bother you, have we met before?" She felt Aarvi familiar but she couldn't put a finger on it.

Aarvi faintly smiled as she shook her head in denial, "Nope, but I know you." Her mystic voice raised interest in Eliza.

Eliza was momentarily confused thinking how could the lady know about her but not vice versa. Then a smile adorned her beautiful face, "Oh yeah, my husband." 

She shook her head helplessly thinking the lady knew as Leon's wife through social media. She stepped aside, "Please carry on."

Despite saying and making way for her, Eliza couldn't help admiring the graceful and beautiful girl. She failed to remember she had seen her picture on Leon's laptop a few times, especially when drunk.

She had created a huge ruckus for the girl picture in Leon's laptop and got punished by her husband too.

Aarvi was taking a step to go to the private room but heard, "Sister-in-law?"

Her lips slyly arced up hearing Dylan's voice. She was thinking of testing him and he appeared giving her a chance.

Dylan's eyes landed on the girl who was next to Eliza in a black full sleeve short pretty little dress. Her back view and her poise were enough for him to discern she is an upper-class wealthy girl.

Eliza was used to Dylan replacing Leon's place to pick and drop her most of the time so she cued Sara who was disappointed due to the expectation of Sean going to pick her personally.

While the two women walked towards the exit, Aarvi turned around taking off her sunglasses, and blinked a serene smile.

Dylan froze.
