In the Skylar International

Aarvi was entering the headquarters after a few months hence high-level management employees who knew her welcomed her warmly looking at her flawless beauty and gracefulness.

Wearing all black business wear, a body-hugging dress defined her curves under the black overcoat on her shoulder. Her slender fingers held the clutch and her neck adorned a black rhinestone neckpiece sparkling with her black orbs.

"President Evans!"

"Welcome President Evans!"

"It's been a long time President Evans!"

It went on, Aarvi nodded at each one in acceptance in her aloof serene expression. She saw forbidding Dax Grant waiting for her to reach. Just his presence around the rest silences the unnecessary talk to avoid offending him.

He formally greeted her extending his hand, "Hello, President Evans. Welcome back to Skylar Headquarters."

While all thought she would walk without reacting, Aarvi shook his hand to test herself if she was fine from the irritation and also to greet her dear friend. Her voice didn't leave a trace of any emotions, "CEO Grant, let's talk about business now."

'Heartless girl, can't you show yourself as sweet to others?'

Aarvi walked ahead to her office leaving everyone behind. Dax turned to the managers and directors of different departments of Skylar. "Meeting in half an hour. No inefficiency is tolerated."

The employees bowed to him and dispersed quickly for the preparation to showcase their best because Aarvi's presence could bring the lots of bonuses and if they fail, Dax will fire without mercy.

Aarvi quickly went through the files which needed her attention. Since she signs all the files digitally, it wasn't really difficult to finish them under Dax's gaze who was sitting opposite to her giving off officious and cold air.

"Dum Dum..." He almost whispered seeing her look serious. "Yes, Dax..."

"Can't you smile? A little maybe?"

Aarvi raised her head and smiled at him tilting her head.

Dax: "..."

Her eyes were in crescents, her small arc of lips and pink glow on her dainty face was like a blooming flower that her black dress failed to hinder her prettiness.

"My Honey Bun is so cute. Why do you look always serious?"

Aarvi shook her head in resignation. She knows that he wants to see her happy but she has already walked too far away from that, "I need time Dax, I might need a lot of time."

Dax knew it was already a big improvement from her. He didn't want to force her either but he really misses the old Aarvi even though he accepted the current one and likes her however she is. It's just that the old Aarvi personality is too irreplaceable.

"Back to work..." Dax said and reported the daily status quickly that needed her attention.

How the half an hour went by both didn't even notice until Dax's secretary informed them that the directors were in the conference room...

Aarvi was satisfied with the work progress of her company. The turnover had increased in a large portion ready to be branched out to the different countries.

At the end of three long hours, everyone was still in high spirits hearing no complaints or mention of faults. Aarvi's perfectly manicured nails tapped on the desk and got everyone's complete attention on her.

Her voice devoid of earthly feelings was spellbinding, "I truly appreciate your hard work, energy, passion, disciple, and professional ethics. This should continue without a bump." She paused a second looking at everyone and continued, "Anybody contacting you to be a mole of the company or to gain information of the company, that should be reported directly and immediately to CEO Grant. Any questions?"

"No President Evans."

"Good. If I get to know by any other means, I hope you remember the clauses of your employment and how the company will handle the case. Do I have to refresh the memory?"

"No President Evans."

"Even though we are flooded with projects, what is our main motto?"

All said in unison, "Hunt, Revamp, and Excel."

"So we will not stop hunting the best by selecting the garbage we get. Am I clear?"

"Crystal."

Dax already experienced how the employees follow her words like puppets so it wasn't surprising. Even if they dare to go against him, they wouldn't dare to stand against her.

Aarvi spoke for a few more minutes and announced about the bonus, "Everyone will get the bonus and with that, Skylar will appreciate the smart work so all the top management employees, I mean, you all will get an apartment in the Skyarc and a car for business purposes. CEO Grant's secretary will contact you for further process."

All were surprised to hear that. Skylar was in the center of the business city and they were traveling from quite a distance. Now the Skyarc was just fifteen to twenty minutes away which saves their lot of time.

All cheered coming to their senses, "Thank you, President Evans."

"Thanks, President Evan, we couldn't have pulled this off without you."

"We are beyond grateful. President Evans."

"We appreciate your thoughtfulness, President Evans."

"We are grateful for your support, President Evans."

"President Evans, you've made our day... No, our life!"

"We are so glad working under you, President Evans."

Aarvi walked out nodding at them as they showered their genuine love towards her.

Skyarc tower was built by Rivas Industries. As soon as it opened for a booking she had brought a large number of apartments sufficient for her top management employees and she also reserved a penthouse next to Shawn's penthouse for herself.

Whereas Dax hated staying in apartments with neighbors all around and he had many villas to stay put in high-security regencies. In those, most were gifted by Aarvi forcefully whenever she liked the architecture.

She doesn't have anybody to spend the money she was earning and she knew most of her work gets filtered by Dax who was the actual pillar of the Skylar all these years so whatever she feels like buying, it was always for him whereas Shawn had too much than her.

Aarvi walked like a contemporaneous queen with assistants and secretaries following her.

Aeon subconsciously stood up in the waiting room seeing her. Her bearing and her attitude perfectly suited her arrogance and identity. He felt too small in front of her when they left without noticing him.

'If I treated her better, would I still be standing here like a worthless man?' He thought to himself as they walked away from his eyesight.
