Sky shot up as her face flushed bright red remembering she was walking around in front of three men in Arlo"s sweats.h.i.+rt.Arlo had picked her a winter pajamas. She doesn"t like full pant and full sleeve s.h.i.+rt hence she randomly pulled his sweats.h.i.+rt which would be of the same length as her T-s.h.i.+rt dress excluding size and wide neck which made her one-shoulder expose.
She was scared when the trio entered and she didn"t care about the dress that time then she was taking revenge followed by dinner. It was completely out of her mind that she was wearing Arlo"s sweats.h.i.+rt, not the T-s.h.i.+rt dress.
Arlo knew whatever went on in her head. He didn"t ask her to change because she wasn"t looking awkward and n.o.body could see her curves as his sweats.h.i.+rt was loose to her.
He wanted to stop her but she ran away to the room so he continued to talk to Ryan, Olivia, and David. She wore the winter pajamas before coming down and spoke to the trio on the video call before hanging up.
Both saw the trio glaring at them.
"You guys are married to each other. Isn"t it?" Jack asked with a grim face.
When they heard Darling by Arlo and Sky calling her grandmother their doubt raised seeing Arlo kept his hand wrapping around Sky. They knew how Olivia was and she would never allow Arlo to have an illegal relations.h.i.+p.
Then they heard both calling somebody as Dad who was calling her La.s.s and Arlo by name, they knew Arlo didn"t have a father and Sky Harley had a father. They knew Ryan but not much but they heard Sky calling him "Pretty Ryan".
"Bingo!" Sky replied to him and chuckled.
The trio started to scold them for not telling and for playing with their mind, Sky only answered when she heard, "Sky, why did you lie to us?"
"Wait, there wasn"t a single lie in what I told... We aren"t dating. Arlo is still my secretary, He didn"t propose to me. My husband"s villa is my villa too. I"m not cheating on my husband. My husband..."
She listed almost all the responses she told to them leaving them flabbergasted.
Thomson was the first one to react, "You guys suck."
"Were you having fun seeing us? Unbelievable."
... ...
Sky rolled her eyes, "I just took revenge for scaring me. Simple. But you guys have such a dirty mind that you a.s.sumed yourself as we are having an affair. The guard called me Young Madam, I called Arlo as Mr.Husband with Mr.President. He called me Wifey numerous times. And can"t you see this?" Sky showed Arlo"s ring.
"Your brains are rotten dating numerous girls. Hmph." Sky ignored them for the rest of the time and went back to the report which had designs of Diamond jewelry that would be presented in the Harley diamonds outlet.
They couldn"t rebuff for anything to whatever she said and looked at the couple who were in sync completing their work one after the other. When one of their stomachs growled, the trio went to the dining table for dinner and ate whatever Arlo had cooked before lavishly complimenting Arlo.
Sky who had finished her work, rolled her eyes at them who were sucking up to Arlo for misunderstanding him, "You guys are such a kiss-a.s.s"
They gave a sheepish grin and continued. Thomson invited them to his birthday hurriedly seeing Arlo carrying Sky who was tired of yawning but Thomson got no reply from them.
The trio blamed on each other as they exited. Even though they were mentally exhausted, they were heartily happy for Arlo. The latter didn"t like to get tortured over the phone so they didn"t contact him in past months but they would always bring him up in their conversation whenever they were meeting.
Arlo tried his best to make her understand that she didn"t have to be on guard when he would be around her. Sky gave an ambiguous reply to him instead of agreeing. He knew well she never agrees to something she wouldn"t do so he was helpless.
After coaxing her to sleep, he leaned back on the headrest and continued to work until Sky pulled him down on the bed at dawn time saying, "Rest for some time."

Sky who woke up first didn"t disturb Arlo and prepared breakfast first before calling Andy who was masters" in Quality a.s.surance in Pharma.
She had asked the previous day to the guards about the required materials after checking in Arlo"s laptop, she collected them and followed Andy"s instruction and tested five samples which she collected in the lab with the same medicine which they bought in the Pharmacy of Sigma hospital.
After completing it, Sky went upstairs and got fresh. Seeing him asleep, she was working on his laptop and got to know he had asked a different lab to lend him for some time and they had responded to him in the mail.
Since there were two more hours, she didn"t wake him and continued with the numerous emails. When Arlo went down for breakfast after getting fresh, he twisted her hand to her back identifying with the smell.
Sky had opened all the windows but still, it wasn"t of any use. He left her hand after knowing she used air mask and eye protector gla.s.s.
He checked handwritten test reports as they had breakfast which confirmed three batches of manufacturing had a problem and the lab people were also included in the scam hence the test results were positive.
He had that doubt hence he wanted to test in another lab personally but his wife was a step ahead and took the risk without knowing anything about the chemicals.
After warning her tons of time, he ordered his people to quickly clean up the people who were involved in the scam by collecting the proof.
Sky was surprised to know his people were capable to clean up without him. Arlo took her to Harley outlet for final inspection before opening from the afternoon for customers. After light shopping both returned to their villa to finish their work.
When Arlo"s seniors jumped through a window to their living hall, Sky had finished her work and was asleep on Arlo"s lap who didn"t let her do his work. He silenced his seniors with a finger not to disturb Sky before taking her to the room.
Arlo seniors first asked about the crisis Sigma was facing. He was answering to their questions and plans they were carrying it out.
