章 61: Schemer

At Campsite

Naomi who had thought Aarvi was going to become laughing stock wearing the same clothes or villager's cloth heard Secretary Wen informing her that Aarvi's dresses were ruined by a 'Senseless, empty-headed, jobless, nuisance person' so President Rivas asked him to inform her that Aarvi will be taking her dress. On top of it, Aaron transferred half a million to her for the dress which doesn't cost ten percent of it.

Naomi felt like they were slapping her face hearing Secretary taunting pressing each word stating the person lacked every function of the brain and by checking the credit of half a million in her bank account.

She hadn't foreseen Aarvi to use her dress. At extreme, she thought Aarvi would wear what she was wearing the whole night and day. She was thinking that's it for the day and Aarvi is dumb who will not know anything instead Aarvi might be thankful for her. Naomi is extremely wrong.

She went to persuade Aaron to take his half a million back and started cajoling which Aaron didn't really hear other than checking the health report of a villager.

Aarvi soon reached the health campsite with a gentle smile on her face. She wasn't going to act, she was just going to be herself, or how she usually is with Shawn and Dax.

A middle-aged doctor who noticed her complimented her warmly, "Ms.Evans, you look pretty." Another doctor remarked with a smile at her, "Ms.Evans, you look gorgeous in colors too."

As the compliments or warm smiles poured at Aarvi, she didn't give them a cold shoulder. Instead, she smiled back and also said, "Thank you!" Her voice was gentle and sweet without holding back her real self.

Aaron's ear perked up right after hearing 'Ms. Evans!' and looked towards her. A faint tender smile naturally appeared captivating Naomi but she frowned following his line of sight and her eyes widened as soon as she saw Aarvi.

To start with, Aarvi had a lissom figure and a lovely face. Her black-pearl like orbs were captivating with the faint eye makeup, Her lips were in a punch pink color, her natural blush on her cheeks due to cold added up more beauty to her appearance while the big curls of her hair gave a dreamy look.

Naomi felt like even if Aarvi wears rugged clothes, she could easily stand out in the crowd and make it a style statement. The simplest outfit she had in her luggage was worn by Aarvi yet she didn't fail to get everyone's attention which was pure adoration, unlike lewd stares.

Secretary Wen saw Naomi and Aarvi before smiling to himself. He had seen Ava's pictures before everything was taken down from social media and the internet so he knew the innocent and cute side of Aarvi which she always hides.

Aarvi reached Aaron and Naomi but saw him and asked, "How do I look? It's been long since I wore colors?"

Aaron had thought she wasn't going to talk to him after their morning squabble so he was surprised and with that, she was very amiable and looked happy bringing content in his eyes. "Adorbs!"

Naomi's jaw dropped hearing it from Aaron. Aarvi smiled nodding her head as her vision caught sight of Naomi wonderstruck.

Aaron continued, "You should wear colors more."

Aarvi didn't respond to it. Colors? Until her fear of darkness and her goal to teach some people a good lesson aren't successful, she doubted if she could wear them heartily.

She turned to Naomi and spoke sweeter than before as a person who is grateful for her help, "Doctor Fisher, I am really grateful that you are here, had so many clothes, and allowed me to use them. Thank you so much. It means a lot."

Naomi had mixed feelings and failed to understand her. "It's not at all an issue." Naomi's voice was awkward. She wanted to leave so she excused herself, "Excuse me..."

'So soon?' Aarvi thought to herself and spoke right after her, "Doctor Fisher, I hope you don't mind if I give you some suggestions."

Naomi's lips twitched hearing her but she couldn't possibly reject her in front of Aaron to be a graceful elegant lady, "Yeah, please."

Aarvi looked at Aaron for his attention too and asked him, "Doctor Rivas, Is my body mass index on the mark?"

Aaron didn't know why she asked but he responded as her physician, "Yeah, it's accurate due to your healthy diet plan."

Aarvi nodded and spoke looking at Naomi, "Doctor Fisher, according to your height, you have too much unhealthy fat so you are fluffy. I am sure you know the health issues of UNHEALTHY HABITS. I am taller and my body mass is accurate but still, your all sizes are large for me whereas I expected them to be a size smaller. You should take care."

Naomi's face was red in embarrassment and anger hearing her call her fat in front of Aaron. Her stressed words 'Unhealthy Habits' had an underlying meaning which wasn't only Secretary Wen, the other two also understood. Aaron understood because Aarvi doesn't care about other people's size or shape. He knows she respected women as they are.

Conscious about the body, what Aarvi said hit where it hurts. Naomi didn't have a choice to say skinny to Aarvi because she wasn't and Aaron had just said she was perfect so she swallowed all the curse down to her stomach and forced a smile.

Unfortunately, she chose to provoke Aarvi, "Ms. Evans, I am grateful that you are worried about my health. As a doctor, I have to work so I couldn't get proper time to pamper myself like you. I can't sit at home and worry about my figure."

Aarvi found it humorous how Noami thought of her as a woman living off Aaron. To be accurate, Aaron was the one who was living off Aarvi whether it was in her villa or Avron mansion.

Aarvi innocently pointed to Aaron and sounded naive, "Doctor Rivas is a doctor and President of a conglomerate. He works triple of you. Yet he manages to cook dinner for me and works out in the morning. He is really strong and healthy."

'Schemer' Aaron hid his smile admiring the woman in front of him.

Naomi's expression was ugly as a scarecrow hearing her. She had thought Aarvi would shut her mouth after an insult right in front of Aaron but she didn't expect her to be shameless enough to argue back taking Aaron's name.

Aarvi enjoyed the fakeness on Naomi's face and continued in her concerned voice, "You should learn to manage your time and schedule instead of hanging out with rich father's spoiled daughters who don't know anything other than believing and spreading rumors hearing from a nonsense person."

Aarvi was sure Naomi wasn't an idiot to misinterpret what she directly said. If her stupidity still doesn't stop, Aarvi wouldn't mind teaching her lessons in a harder way.

"You-" Naomi saw Aaron's smirk and drowned her frustration from lashing out. No doubt what Aarvi said was the truth but she didn't want to argue back and get insulted more while Aaron was adoring Aarvi.

She responded through her teeth, "I will work on that, Ms. Evans. Now, I will take my leave." Without waiting for her response, she stormed off to her table.

Aarvi yawned in laziness after talking so much. Aaron who had sent the patient pulled her to him. Secretary Wen scurried away quickly when Aaron pinned her against the desk and pressed his hands on either side of her of the desk to stop her running away.

Seeing his amused gaze, Aarvi wanted to hear whether he was going to talk for Naomi or something else.

"You are cute."

"Anything new?" She is tired of hearing that from Dax and Shawn.

"You are cunning."

"Anything new?" She was glad that he knows she opposed and warned Naomi indirectly.

Aaron saw her sluggish so he thought what could make her unspoken. He stood straight taking his hands off watching her intently, "I love you."

Her heart skipped a beat but she wasn't sure whether it was by looking at him or hearing him. Her eyes didn't stay more than five seconds on him. She glanced right and left then she went out of canopy without uttering a word.

Aaron let out a heartwarming chuckle behind her, 'Doozy.'
