The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 342 - Your Punishment

Aaron was thinking to tell about the plan which his Cupcake would definitely like. He planted a kiss on her forehead with a hum, accepting he will join her to meet Leon Harmon whenever she plans to do so.

However he didn't get to say his plan and heard her blurt out in disgust towards Leon, "You were so very right. I think I noticed Leon lusting over my body."

Aaron paused for a few seconds looking at her eyes which were waiting for his response to her words. He missed making her feel secure when she felt that due to Leon.

Wrapping his hand around her waist, he pulled her up like carrying a little baby with a hand under its head. Aarvi eagerly waited to know how he would react but he warmly enveloped her in his arms. 

She smiled snuggling in his arms. He was neither possessive nor overprotective, he was just trying to comfort her. "My Lioness is daring." She didn't need sympathetic words to make her strong, that she is.

Aarvi giggled and asked without forgetting, "Now tell me your plan." Then she continued with another thought, "Will you bake cupcakes for me daily?"

Aaron: "..."

He really felt like she wanted cupcakes in his plan instead of him. He asked a childish question with a long face, "You need cupcakes."

Aarvi promptly shook her head looking at him sulking. When was it she saw him childish?  'He is so cute.'

Aaron was about to get happy but her words left him wordless, "I need you else who will bake me the cupcakes?"

"You are asking for some punishments." He hissed, pulling her cheeks, glaring at her giggling. His heart was at ease seeing throw off the stressful things behind her mind and was happy.

"Let's not follow each other. You don't have to come to pick me up at the office or hospital." He said it bluntly.

Aarvi didn't really like the idea. With their busy schedules with his plan, probably they won't get much time with each other.  Thinking she might have stressed him out for following him around, she was ready to accept it as they will meet in the morning, even if they miss dining together.

"Oh~" Was her reply.

Aaron lifted her chin to make her look at him and his unemotional voice carried liveliness instead, "Let's ditch the world, cook dinner together every night, fall asleep having long late-night conversations, wake up snuggling to each other, and leave for work just to look forward to another cozy evening."

Aarvi took a few seconds to get his words before a smile broke into her face, "You mean you will keep your all evening for me and we are going to stay in the penthouse from today?"

The Avron mansion is far away from the city, consuming nearly an hour on the road for one way. Whereas Skyarc tower was just a few minutes away from Rivas Industries and Skylar Industries. In fact, they could see both the companies building from the penthouse easily.

Even the flower shop, Aarvi's private office is just ten minutes walk from there. Only the Rivas hospital was a little far which Aaron will have to take a small detour.

Aaron hummed looking at her already planning what to do from that day. He grabbed the heels of hers, carefully put them on her feet. 

Looking at the height of pointed heels, he weirdly wanted her to ditch her dresses and wear the shorts or jeans that would go with the sports shoes. 

Unfortunately, she likes pretty dresses so he didn't tell her about his thoughts.

Well, Aarvi liked his plan which showed on her face too. Letting him put on her heels, she demanded, "I also want those pretty little coffee shop dates and... experience the plenty of silliness with many adventures holding your hands."

Looking at her act sweet and cute with her demands, who was he to say no? 

Shawn was finally planning to take control of the Rivas Industries so it's just a matter of a little time, Aaron will focus only on his Cupcake and his passion.

It was truly exhausting to do hospital and office work before returning to her side and giving her quality time. So Aarvi was glad his travel time will be controlled and he can rest more.

Aaron entered the elevator with a daydreaming Cupcake next to him. She giggled twice and stood as if she didn't laugh.

Before Aaron could ask what she was imagining, her mobile beeped twice. Aarvi read the message, [Boss, you did it.]

The next was a video message which Aarvi played and the duo watched. It was a video of President Dawson battered by the girls in black whenever he tried to know the girl as Ava Kelly.

Confusing President Dawson - Checked.

Make him desperate to get her - Checked.

Wane the smile of Leon Harmon and President Dawson in the engagement - Checked 

Despite all her mission achieved, Aarvi didn't really look like she was happy. Aaron rubbed her head to get her attention, "Did anything go wrong?" 

Aarvi shook her head, "Absolutely not. All my plans are executed and earned the required result." She flashed him a mischievous smile discerning he asked her because she didn't give much of a reaction to President Dawson's video, "But you are more exciting to me than the result of my game." She flirted raising her brow at him.

Aaron had forgotten the important thing. Staying alone with her means bearing all her seduction and embracing the cold shower.

Wait, since he already knows his Cupcake is also in love with him, shouldn't they take a step up too?

Taking steps closer to her his alluring voice sounded as he seized her against the elevator wall, "Aarvi Evans, I can be more exciting than you think"

His suggestive words skipped a beat of her heart, she didn't feel repulsive but looked forward to their stay at the penthouse. However she is pro at turning the situation around, "Tsk tsk, are you thinking of romance? I am thinking of a punishment for you."

He couldn't understand why she flirts and easily gets away changing the situation. "Then I should punish you as well." His dark displeased voice sounded. 

Aarvi remembered she had smacked him at midnight when he was trying to ask her if she forgot to say something more to him. That time she was sleepy and she wanted him to rest. Thinking about his eagerness, she could guess what he wanted to hear.

Wrapping her hands around his neck, Aaron naturally coiled his hands around her waist. However, he knew she wasn't going to tell what he had expected in the night.

'Heartless Cupcake.' He thought, looking at her amused face.

"Aaron Rivas, you lost the chance of what you would like to hear. Work hard, you might get to hear it one day." Yet she knew well he was already relishing with just the thought of she wanted to confess her love to him.

Aaron: "..."

Since he was eager to listen to her confession, Aarvi got the punishment she was looking for, she won't confess to him "And that's your punishment." She stuck her tongue out at him as she shrugged his hands and walked out of the elevator.

"Aarvi Evans, that's really not fair." He pulled a long face following her out but a little frame tossed on him while Aarvi turned around and witnessed beauty in his arms.

"I missed you sooo…. much, My love." The girl professed.
