The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 467 - An Unauthorised Access

Waking up early in the morning, Aarvi pounded on Shawn's room door without daring to barge inside. She didn't want to witness anything that she shouldn't.

"Oh, Little Heart." Shawn groaned. His alarm hadn't gone off yet, so he was huddled under the duvet with pillows.

Shawn guessed the person behind the door easily as it was always Aarvi's way to inform him it was her. So that he could appear presentable if his one-night stand woman is still at his place. 

Hearing his voice not asking her to wait, Aarvi went inside the room, holding her mobile screen at her face, "I am safe."

Dax chuckled, who had watched her the whole time. Aarvi kept her mobile at the side of the bed so that Dax could see both of them. She pulled the prince to sit on the bed, but the prince laid back on the bed, throwing his hand on the pillow. 

However, he sat up wide awake when she declared, "I have changed the plans, Shawn." He was eager to join her, so he didn't want to take the chance of being dropped from the plan.

Dax took a bite of his pre-workout food as he grumbled, "You guys are living together again. I want a penthouse on the same block." 

Shawn's mood immediately lifted. In Country S, he and Aarvi lived in opposite flats at the same apartment before knowing each other. After a few months, Dax had started living with Shawn when the three became close. So the trio practically lived in his duplex condo. 

"Since you don't have a girlfriend anymore, why don't you shift to my place?" Shawn was excited thinking about living as in the past.

Dax demanded smugly, "Then the master bedroom is mine."

In response, Shawn showed his middle finger at Dax. Then the duo started bantering about why they should have a master bedroom.

Aarvi: (?'-')?

She reached there to tell them about a critical change in plans as they were crying to join her. Should she be happy that they were still the same and crazy or smack them hard?

A hush fell over when they sensed her dead silence and a conceited smile. They knew she would love to do everything on her own. Shawn was quick to hook his arm with hers before she could run away.

Then the duo became serious after hearing her disclose about Leon. They didn't have plans to merge Leon and Tia's cases. After hearing the consequences, Dax didn't show any mercy on Tia. 

Whether they should protect Tia from Leon or not was wholly dependent on Tia's identity and the mysterious, steely grey-eyed man from the club.

"Let's meet at Skylar Industries, sharp at six." Aarvi delivered her decree. She didn't go downstairs. Instead, she exited from the balcony to reach her bedroom.

...

Aaron was still at the gym when Aarvi went inside to bid. "Cupca--" Before he could finish his words, she had sprung to his arms. "I am sweating." He said resignedly, wrapping his arms to support her.

Aarvi ignored his words. Pushing her head back to face him, "I want yummy breakfast. I will be back soon." She planted a hard kiss on his cheek before walking out on her heels, waving her hand at him.

He couldn't find a silver line of tension or fear in her even when she was going to face the mystery which might be disastrous. Instead, he found excitement in her confidence. He loved how well she was balancing her personal life and the outside threat.

He followed her out and stood by the railing watching her alight the stairs, "Cupcake!"

She turned around with the sweetest smile she could ever have, "I love you." He professed, tenderly gazing at her.

"I love you moreeee..." She sang the words, "For being hot."

Aaron: "..."

She winked and sent him a flying kiss before happily leaving the penthouse.

.....

At six, three high-end cars left from the gates of Skylar Industries. They reached a less populated, unfrequented area where everything looked rustic and old-fashioned. Even the air felt dry to breathe.

One could easily find the traces of people living by differentiating between abandoned and living houses. The cars and the appearance of the trio looked luxurious and foreign. Since the day hadn't started for the people over there, there was silence.

Aarvi had no idea about this area until the previous evening. Shawn had reported to her this is the place where the steely-eyed man had reached.

The place was close to the city, next to a hill. Getting off the car, "Ask the legal department to check ownership of this place." The businesswoman's mind never rests at ease.

Dax showed an okay sign at Aarvi as his eyes brushed around. He was sure there would be a water source as it was next to a green hill. It was an excellent place to take up the revamp projects.

The three men who were keeping an eye on the area the whole night reached the trio. They nodded in greeting, looking at them in awe. 

The golden trio wasn't in a low profile. As the saying goes, style is a way to say who you are without having to speak. The three looked confident and assertive, which they were. They also looked frosty and alert as though nothing could pass through them.

Aarvi secured the overcoat on her shoulder when the wind blew, causing the hem of the overcoat to flutter in the air. She needed to find out why the air was dry, although the area around the location was green.

Signaling the three men to take their car away, Aarvi led the two men to the three-story building. The ground floor looked like a garage leading them upstairs.  However, before Aarvi could open the door, the Shadow team appeared for her protection.

Shawn alone was enough to seize the two men who were waiting to attack them sneakily. The Shadow team put in a hand to control the men as their aim wasn't violence.

When Aarvi passed ahead, Dax pressed her shoulder, and his single kick was enough to shove another person to the corner. "Save your heels, Dum Dum."

The Shadow team: "..."

In contrast to the place outside, the second floor looked like a world from the future. Name a high-tech electronic device it was present there, High-speed computers to the laser sensing devices.

Aarvi was about to check a computer; Shawn stopped her from behind, "Little Heart," He continued after she turned to him, "An unauthorized access can blow up the building."

She wasn't well known for the security technology, so she listened to him and backed off. Her eyes glanced at the two unknown men who pretended to be unemotional, but their hint of relief didn't escape her eyes.

She didn't expect Shawn, who just took a glance at everything, to be so accurate. She knows his change was because he realized the world wasn't as simple as it looked.

It was their wild guess that the steely grey-eyed man and Tia were from the same group. Now the identity of that man became more strange.

Or are they unrelated people?

Shawn and Aarvi noticed the three men didn't bother to threaten them to leave or ask them who they were or why they were present. It was like they knew them very well.

Forcing them to talk didn't look fruitful as they were ready to die a few seconds ago.

The silent two floors echoed with Dax's voice, who had gone upstairs to the last floor, "Dum Dum."

His voice didn't have the mirth he usually had. So Shawn and Aarvi looked at each other. That steely grey-eyed man wasn't in the building as far as they knew. 

What/Who could be there?
