The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 111 - End Of Beauty In Black

Aarvi smiled while her mind went to the previous day when Aaron had told her that he just needed to see her face to feel relaxed and the charge was kissing her forehead.

'Oxytocin!' She remembered her encounter with Dax and said with a pout, "Oxytocin doesn't release every time." 'You lied to me.'

The intern doctors were confused by her out of the box question, Naomi sneered at her openly thinking she doesn't know anything that grabbed Aarvi's wrong attention. Whereas Aaron seriously asked to solve it for her, "Who did you hug? Dax?"

Aarvi's gaze went back to Aaron and hummed in confirmation. The latter again asked, "How do you guys treat each other?"

Aarvi understood the difference without further explanation, "We are friends, more like brother and sister whereas I am your..." her lips arced slyly to irritate Naomi, "... Woman."

The contemptuous smile on Naomi's face was replaced with an ugly frown. She already knows Aarvi and Aaron's relationship isn't doctor and patient yet she couldn't digest the fact yet.

"Aaron, we need to see patients." Naomi cut in to divert Aaron's attention from the dumb girl. She hardly gets time with Aaron and she wanted to kick Aarvi aside for dropping in there.

Aarvi brows arced up beautifully, 'What's the hurry? I will feed you more vinegar.'

Aaron ignored Naomi without care, "Tired?" He needs to ask about Craft family involvement. His team already started checking on it to connect that day with Billy Craft. 

Aarvi shook her head and glanced at others' eyes on her so she tiptoed to reach Aaron's ear and whispered, "Your drama queen has some more actions to do upstairs." Then she stood back and spoke normally, "I brought snacks, we will eat together, complete your work quickly."

Aarvi saw his gentle gaze and was leaving by completely ignoring fuming Naomi but Aaron grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his arms, "Don't forget." He whispered.

Don't forget to hug!

It was their sweet little deal. She has to get him flowers and he will bake cupcakes for her. Similarly, the forehead kisses for her and hugs for him.

Aarvi breathed out slowly thinking she should get used to Aaron pulling her from behind. Wrapping her arm around his neck, she complained, "Why do you want me to be alarmed?"

"Get adopted to it." It wasn't for him but to train her nerves to be calm.

The interns heard them murmuring and whispered to themselves, "I never thought I might witness Doctor Rivas in love."

"I always thought Doctor Fisher is Doctor Rivas's girlfriend but she is just a bystander."

"Why was she behaving as this hospital owner when she was just a doctor here?"

"Shh..." Another intern doctor silenced the two when Naomi gnashed her teeth diverting her fury towards the interns. "What are you muttering about? Go and check the patient's record."

Aarvi controlled laughing and stood back, "Go, otherwise, Doctor Fisher is going to scold me for disturbing you guys."

Naomi was caught off guard by her words. Aaron too turned to Naomi leaving her out of sorts, "I... Ms. Evans, you sure know to crack a joke." She said it but failed to control her stiff face.

Aarvi didn't let her manage and stated seriously, "I wasn't joking."

Naomi: "..."

Then Aaron asked in doubt without understanding why Naomi was following him for half an hour asking him what interns should question, "Why are you with the interns? Don't you have other appointments today?"

The interns who were leaving let out chortle before suppressing it. Naomi felt like Aaron gave her across the face mercilessly. She desperately wanted to shout, 'I am with you, I came to accompany you.' But she knew well she will be a laughing stock.

Aarvi had to bite her lips to control laughing out. Aaron's EQ was only high for her and his family. She felt bad for Naomi yet she cluelessly added, "I had thought she is with you. Never mind, I will return real quick... Cya." She left waving her hand glancing at Naomi's sour face.

'How dare she mock me?' Aarvi thought and walked away from them. She agrees she doesn't know everything and she learns what interests her but she won't give permission to anybody to laugh at her.

Aaron looked at Naomi who had racked her brain to respond, "I want to discuss methodological Issues in the Psychosocial Job Strain on the heart. Its study helps me with my research on Cardiovascular Diseases."

The Psychosocial Job Strain on the heart is a topic Aaron is researching and Naomi is working on cardiovascular Diseases hence it was a legit topic which Aaron couldn't turndown. 

Aaron hummed as he walked ahead, "Come to my office later, no need to waste your time now."

Naomi had no choice other than accepting it, "Alright, I will see you later." She didn't want to go because Aarvi will be sitting right there but she will go so that she could make Aarvi jealous talking with Aaron to show off she has many things in common with him and suits him the best.

Aarvi who saw a cleaner carrying a bouquet to throw away after cleaning a VIP room, stopped her, "Excuse me, may I use this if you are intending to throw it away?"

The cleaning lady wasn't new to the hospital so she knew Aarvi as Rivas family member hence she quickly bowed and passed it to Aarvi, "Sure Miss." She didn't dare to ask anything and heard the lady, "Thank you."

The cleaning lady opened her lips but closed seeing her walk away, thanking her wasn't required and she really doubted if Aarvi is the same lady who used to cry and scream whenever anybody tried to get near her. She could never forget Aarvi because she is the only lady who thanked her every time whenever she had cleaned her ward.

Aarvi remembers the cleaning lady, the latter was doing her job and she showed her gratitude that's ends their conversation, she doesn't like creating unnecessary closeness with anyone like her previous stupid self, 

After tampering with the bouquet, she put on a sorrowful downhearted expression and unlocked the door. She knocked on the door first and pushed it open without waiting for permission.

The sudden knock hadn't disturbed anybody inside but the door opening irritated them. Sean was on the couch with a beautiful lady on his lap, he saw Aarvi and his face brightened up to a thousand volts bulb.

Her curled down lips, raised and scrunched eyebrows head, droopy eyes clearly spoke she was sad and pained. The roses in her hands emphasized she regretted breaking up with him and reached there to look for him and maybe ask him for forgiveness.

Sean's first thought, if Aarvi pleads to get him back, he wanted to control her completely but saw her sadness being replaced, her fingers squeezed the bouquet in her hands, and alerted eyes stared towards him with a variety of emotions on her face.

Disappointment! 

Sean realized the girl was still on his lap, she had just stopped flirting with him due to Aarvi's unannounced entry. He pushed the lady off when she muttered, "Who the f**k is she?"

"Ahh..." She fell down on her butt crying in pain.

"Aarvi, she... She forced herself on me." He sprinted towards her trying to justify. He finally got the chance to see her, he couldn't lose it.

Aarvi's disappointment replaced with a blank look, a single raised brow in skepticism asking the unspoken words, 'You expect me to believe that?'

Sean read what she was trying to deliver and thought, 'This dumb girl doesn't even know to act and her face speaks all of it. Ahhh… Why is she so beautiful?' Instead of speaking to explain his actions, he raised his hand to touch her. 

The rose bouquet that was in her hand was suddenly thrown at him, he tried to hold on but got only wrapped paper to his hands and roses ended up on the ground after hitting him.

Receiving flowers from her? In his dreams. She tampered with them for a reason.

Her brows were knotted, lips were still curved down but her jaws were tense, the line of furrow appeared that displayed how upset she was knowing he needed no time to move on.

"I am an idiot. Good luck with your life." Her words had frustration and she left pulling the door close on his face without letting him react.

Sean felt like his many days of effort to stay in the hospital burnt into ashes. He had purposefully leaked the news that he is hospitalized thinking Aarvi will go to see him. He expected her arrival in the morning before work or evening after work or weekend hence he was enjoying with the girls to time pass.

Finally, she came giving him high hopes but at the wrong time and left him flabbergasted. He threw the floristic paper away and exited the room to see an empty deathly silent corridor.

A coquettish voice sounded with a slender pair of hands wrapped around him, "Young Master, you said you will spend your time with us." Another girl had tears rubbing her bum and another one exited the bathroom in a sexy garment. "Young master, how do I look?"

Sean's head was in a mess, he shrugged at the one who was hugging him and pushed the girls out of the room, "Get out of my sight." Then slammed the door close. 

He quickly dialed a number and cried out without greeting, "Brother Leon, Aarvi got angry and left seeing me with others. Bring her to me."

A doting voice sounded on another end, "My men are around there, they will catch hold of her. Describe them how she looked."

Sean asked in dejection so that Leon could work harder, "Will I really get her?"

A confident tone of Leon Harmon sounded, "Definitely." For that unconventional reason, he left Sean to stay in the hospital and his men guarding all the places.

'Beauty in Black, this is your end.'
