Nico Burton who went aside dialed a number which was answered soon enough, "Find out if Evanspany headquartered in country S has a daughter. If yes, where is she now? In five minutes."


    <em>[Captain Nick, I will get back to you soon.]</em> After the response, the call ended.


    Nico didn''t stop there, If Evans is really that big of apany and met President Rivas, the simrpanies will have the mails too so he dialed another string of numbers.


    "Captain Nick here, Find out if the toppanies of Mocon received the proposal from Evans namedpany."


    <em>[Captain Nick, I will have the information.]</em>


    He might just be an heir of the Burton family serving for the country in the Military yet their connections are far deeper. It might be upper society or the underworld, they made sure to be cautious of them and serve when they need. Of course, some families don''t give a damn about them.


    His fingers yed on the mobile screen for a minute to extract a string of numbers and dialed it. His face turned ugly when he spoke to the person and watched thedy in ck listening to Vance Hays.


    ...


    Aarvi followed Paul''s line of sight as if she didn''t know who he was calling but asked the different questions as though she is unaware, "Mr.Wong..."


    ke Wong smiled shyly while saying, "You are older than me so please call me ke. I feel like you are addressing my father hearing Mr.Wong."


    Aarvi shook her head resignedly and called his name, "ke, why were those cheering me when I was riding? Is there any event?"


    ke gently shook his head then responded, "We usually race here for every ten or fifteen days so we are here today. Some of those girls are... flings of Paul and Brother Elliot. Maximum girls are here to see Brother Nico, he is an army captain and hardlyes out like this."


    Aarvi''s behavior was like she just got to know. She was surprised and nced at Nico who was on call. The sly evil smirk hid behind her lovely face and was retracting her gaze, she noticed Paul and Elliot gazing daggers at ke for revealing about their flings.


    Aarvi pointed to the girls who were standing just a little away from them, "Are they going to chase or strike at me for talking to the handsome guys of Mocon? If gaze could cut, I would be a fraction of pieces by now. I am getting goosebumps."


    ke, Talon, Paul, and Elliotughed at her words, they could feel the same which they ignored.


    Paul spoke when Vance reached, "Ms. Evans, he is Vance Hays, heir of Hays International, you must have heard about it in your research."


    "Hays... Oh yeah, their stocks plummeted after losing the Ebony project." Aarvi hit the nail as soon as she got the chance. She couldn''t believe his parents ignored thepany and celebrated Vance Hays''s third engagement with thedy who drugged him.


    Vance Hays''s face turned foul hearing it but his eyes stayed on her face trying to differentiate between thedy and Ava.


    The face is the same but in front of Ms. Evans''s bright glowing face, Ava seemed to dim a little. Ava was simple where Ms. Evans gave off a mysterious vibe. Ava was a happy-go girl but Ms. Evans weighed her emotions on the face. It was hard to say if she was smiling or it was her natural lips shape. The calmness,posure of Ms. Evans was never in Ava Kelly because thetter was innocent and speaks her mind.


    He couldn''t mark one as the best but he unknowingly remembered the smile of Ava Kelly and imagined it on thedy standing in front of him who didn''t even know him.


    He looked at the five men and realized none of them knew Ava Kelly so he sighed to himself and greeted, "Vance Hays. You have a wheel of wonder."


    Aarvi expected herself to be angered or at least a little sad but nope, she wasn''t the least bit affected by him. Probably the fact that she had no expectations of him when they were inteced in a loveless engagement, she is totally fine after snatching the Ebony project and tumbling them in the business Industries.


    "Evans." She shook his hand unwillingly but didn''t get to speak. Paul spoke, "Brother Vance, She is Evans Industries heiress..."


    Aarvi really wanted to say, <em>''Please, I am not that Evans.''</em> She didn''t even know who they were. She was just implicating them as they were exclusively unreachable for the six standing in front of her.


    Vance''s eyes widened slightly before going toposure. Paul continued cing the file in his hand, "Brother Vance, forget Ebony project. If you get this project, trust me, my father will run behind you to be your business partner." Then he victoriouslyughed.


    Vance wanted to avoid thedy''s eyes on him which were strongly reminding of Ava weakening his defense. He repeated to himself numerous times that he shouldn''t hold her when he wanted to touch her, apologize to her, embrace her, plead her which were practically impossible.


    He pulled his eyes away from her and checked the project details which brought the hope in him for thepany. The n devised by Evans was perfect for them, with the growth of the Evans branch, Hays foothold will be stronger than ever with an abundant flow of capital.


    <em>How can''t that be suitable for him when it was designed for him?</em>


    Vance coughed lightly to clear his throat and spoke like a responsible diligent man, "Ms. Evans, will you be interested in coborating with us? I mean Hays International?"


    <em>''Fish fell into the trap.''</em> Oh yeah, he was nothing a big yer for her, he was merely a little fish who she could fry easily.


    Aarvi put on professional expression, seriousness, and stoicism that surprised the men, "Well, I gave my appointment to CEO Grant of Skr and my team is meeting with Harmons today. Are you sure you could do better than them? It''s business after all."


    Vance blurted out, "You are meeting Dax Grant?" He failed to hide the little fright from his voice while his face had little fierceness.


    "Excuse me!" Aarvi yed dumb but her mind started thinking if Dax had done something without her known.


    Nico who heard thest part gravely said, "Your retarded team rejected Harmons five minutes back. Check your mobile. " It was more like a decree passed by him.


    What he said had an underlying meaning which Aarvi understood if not anybody. The point is the team wasn''t from Evans Industries and if he checks deep into them, he will find out the truth. But that didn''t weaken her, instead, Aarvi''s friendly or professional appearance turned to dominate and indomitable which they hadn''t even guessed she could bear.


    Ordering her? Controlling her? In their dreams. Ava Kelly let the people order her around because she wanted everyone around her happy even though they were using her, bullying her but Aarvi Evans wanted independence in every bloody thing she does.


    Her tone didn''t carry any emotions but it was pressing them not to mess with her, "And you, mind your wild violent tone."


    Nico red right into her eyes while Aarvi''s unyielding gaze didn''t flutter even a little.


    Excluding Vance, the other four held their breath gazing at the two alternatively. They couldn''t understand why thedy was going against Nico who had the connection to deport her from the country and even ban herpany from opening the branch in the country.


    In a roundabout, Nico Burton wasn''t the man to be offended.
