The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 275 - Juggle

Aarvi received no information about Leon's illegal business or any moves on shifting or reselling of his illegal weapons. So she let the eyes on him weak so that Leon could complete the engagement of Sean Harmon with Sara Dawson.

Is he thinking she will break off the engagement? She won't touch it yet he will go crazy thinking about her move.

Is he thinking she will create problems with his most anticipated project? Instead, she was actually ready to help him win the bid.

Either way, she will not do anything he was expecting her to do.

But when her attention was lowered, Leon was playing a different game.

At Mocon joggers park,

Dylan stopped the old model car at the entrance of the park. He was confused about why Leon wanted to jog at 10 under the hot sun, however, he didn't have the voice to talk.

Leon lowered his head pulling the hoodie on his head and exited the car, "Stay here, I will be back soon." 

In ombre grey tracksuits and white shoes, Leon had a physique worth the double look. Numerous people who were working out late watching him jog thinking of him as some celebrity.

Due to his tall athletic body, a few female models tried to strike conversation without looking at his face. They were sure his face would be striking as his body. 

Due to the wide hoodie to cover his half the face, Leon couldn't see their face but his eyes grazed on the slender sexy waists of those girls.

The first thought of seeing them is to enjoy the beauty but it would quickly replace Ava Kelly. It repeated again and he gritted his teeth. 

Excluding Aaron, there is nobody in the world who remembered Ava Kelly more than him. Both carried intense feelings towards Ava Kelly, one is love and another one is hatred.

Leon just waved his hand to send the models away as he made his way towards the open park gym. He looked around and spotted attached chest press equipment.

He sat at the chest press and held the handles to start showing as he was working out. But he sat there because of the person behind him.

The middle-aged man had a cunning smile as he greeted, "President Harmon, I thought you will be late."

Leon smirked. He wasn't a man to waste time or delay the appointed time. He kept his superior pride aside and sounded generous and kind.

"Mr. Gordon, I hope I didn't cause the trouble asking you to meet secretly." He greeted him back.

Before the Hudson family member became the Mayor of Mocon, the Gordon family had a huge influence in the city.

Leon didn't want to lose power over the city if any ex-military man decides to participate and wins the Mayor's election to serve the nation.

Hence he decided to push the man of his known to sit on the crown of Mayor, that could help him in every way in the legal and illegal business.

The man behind him is the son of a cabinet minister and he craves power. So Leon chose him as his intermediary.

Mr. Gordon's pretentious prideful laughter didn't go unnoticed by Leon but he just ignored it. He always let the horse go wild before tying the cavesson to the horse to tame.

"No need to be so polite, President Harmon. I can understand how the media troubles us outside." He cleverly weighed him the same as Leon mentioning 'us' just because Leon probed him to meet.

How stupid!

Leon continued the chest press exercise as he came to the main point, "So let's not waste our time, are you interested in becoming the Mayor of the Mocon? I will support you behind the scenes."

Mr. Gordon laughed proudly which irritated Leon's ear. He remembered a saying, don't believe a man who laughs a lot, nevertheless, he shrugged it off. In no way the Gordon family or its members can become a threat to him.

Mr. Gordan responded in acceptance, "If President Harmon supports me, I am even willing to become the President of the country."

Leon had expected him to put his conditions and ask for something but it went too easy. However, it wasn't surprising as he will never pay less to keep them loyal and also feared.

Leon was about to narrate his plan, but the man continued, "President Harmon, I deduced you are the one who is behind the disturbance in the city. Aren't you? You are setting up a stage for me."

Leon was slightly amused. Mr. Gordon is smart, Leon hoped they will have an undisturbed relationship in the coming time. He accepted promptly, "Absolutely, I should start a spectacular show to prepare the fanfare for you, Mr. Gordon."

Then Leon briefed the plan which Mr. Gordon understood clearly and agreed to follow it. At last, Leon warned, "Excluding you and me, no one should know I am supporting you. Not even your family or assistant. NOBODY."

Mr. Gordon accepted in response, "I will always drop you a message and wait for your call. I will bring this matter to none."

Satisfied, Leon stood up and started walking out after saying, "Good day, Mr. Gordon  ."

Mr. Gordon  turned to glance at the back of Leon. His laughter and easy-going personality became serious. He always thought Leon is a devil who dictates people under him to work while he puts on an ideal man image to the world.

Despite seeing his scheming side, Gordon  was disappointed at the calm behavior of Leon. He expected an overbearing, pompous man.

Tsk, tsk, the poor fellow had no idea how beasty Leon is.

At the Rivas hospital.

The restroom opposite the on-call room was completely equipped. It had a hand wash area to brush and wash face with small blocks of lavatories aside.

Aarvi had excepted it would be luxurious but it was simple, elegant, and sophisticated without wasting too much space.

Aarvi got fresh by the time Aaron came out of WC. Sitting next to the washbasin on the counter, Aarvi asked playing with his left-hand fingers while he brushed his teeth, "You were very tired yesterday."

Aaron hummed in response. Keeping his complete focus on surgery while operating on the functioning heart is no easy task. A small mistake could cause the death of the person.

He also had the pressure of no other chief physician around. Even though he was awarded as a young best surgeon for his first successfully transplanting the heart in less time, it wasn't enough to make him the best in the medical field.

Aarvi sincerely asked, "Shall I help you manage the company? You can focus on your career and your health…" She paused before adding in a dilemma, "I may not be as efficient as you brothers, I won't let it fall for sure."

'Not efficient?' Aaron couldn't believe she thought of herself as lacking when he is a noob in front of her.

He didn't carry forward the topic, rinsing off his mouth with water, he responded to her, "If you can't see me juggle between two work, do you think I let you wear off yourself working day and night?"

Aarvi pouted, she can't push her Skylar work on Dax, she will do her work, and adding up another company will obviously load up all her day.

She wanted to suggest to him as she could be his advisor that could save most of his time but he remarked before it, "You are already helping me in your free time. That's more than enough."

Seeing the mood of them turn serious, Aarvi decided to make it... hot. She asked indifferently, seeing him dab his face with a tissue to dry, "Does all kinds of places include here too?"

'Romance in all kinds of places.' He had just recollected his line, she tugged his shirt and his lips crashed on hers.
