Chapter 399 - I'm sorry for disturbing your life(2)

Sam's lips turned up because getting his compliments was harder than winning a prestigious award. "I'm flattered."

Arlo stayed with them until they left to Harley mansion and returned to Smith mansion.

--

The next day he met Sky, Sam, Ethan directly at the police station.

Ethan outer look returned back to normal other than crestfallen expression all the time. Liam reached on right time and they started their work.

"I want to meet Milan Bing." Sky asked the Deputy chief.

The latter took her to him and waited outside as per Sky's instruction. Milan hands her cuffed to the table, he glared at her.

"Why? Don't you want to play with your Darling?" Sky smirked.

"Is Ethan keeping you?" Milan asked. He always doubted that as Ethan always brushed the topics about her and would answer about other girls if asked.

"Foul mouth! Don't you have common sense and manners? Don't worry, you will have lots of time to learn about it in prison."

Sky stood up to leave but paused, "Oh! I forgot to tell you why I came here. You must have heard about Liam Jacob right? He will fight against you, so don't waste too much of your money on advocate as it will be a waste."

Milan's face turned pale.

Sky's lips turned into a cold smirk, "One more thing...  Does this Top Businessman know with whom I came to Optimum?"

Seeing his change in his expression, Sky continued, "Do you know his daughter's name?"

"You... You..." Milan pointed at Sky from his cuffed hand and stuttered in horror. Bling entertainment was a small entertainment company compared to Harley so his reaction was considered fine.

"Right! Sky Harley! President and CEO of Harley corporation. You have all the time to digest this."

Sky left and saw all work was done, "Thank you Mr.Jacob"

"Happy serving you." Liam responded and left soon.

Sky brought Ethan out, "Cheer up! I will meet you some other day. Okay?"

Ethan just nodded looking dejected but Sky had to rush to Harley for shareholder's meeting.

"Ethan, do you want to come with me?" Sky asked earnestly but Ethan shook his head.

"Go and rest today. You can go to the office from tomorrow or next week. I will talk to uncle."

Ethan nodded looking down.

Sky's head started throbbing. After checking the time, She sent him off in his car which was driving by a driver and the trio set off to Harley.

At ten o'clock the meeting started and Sky wore her headsets sitting on the back seat of Maybach and watched Andy, VP, and David starting the meeting.

She noted who and all were creating nuisance about her absence then the meeting set off about the yearly reports. Knowing who was paying attention and who wasn't. She went through the data of those shareholders.

Due to heavy traffic, Sky reached an hour late to a meeting. Arlo followed her inside by wearing big reading glasses and hiding the mole above his lips.

"I'm sorry for late." Sky said and sat down next to David.

Andy was continuing the presentation a shareholder spoke, "President Harley, don't you..."

Sky raised her hand to stop him and pointed at the presentation, "Please have some common sense. Andy, you can continue."

David pursed his lips and sat quietly. Arlo wanted to applaud for her for saying please with an insult.

The shareholder turned a shade of red and didn't speak. When Andy finished his presentation, Sky sent everyone to lunch and went to her office.

Arlo followed her, "Arlo! please cook something light. I don't have an appetite."

Arlo closed the file in her hand and pulled her off the chair in a swift motion.

"Arlo!" Sky grunted. Even though she lets him have his way outside, she never allowed in the office.

"You are stressed. You are planning to take over the presentation after lunch. So you need a diversion." Arlo said without leaving her hand.

Sky reached the kitchen and sat on the chair near the table. She remained silent until he gave her an appetizer drink, "Where is your mole?" Since he had removed his glasses, she didn't ask about it.

"I am trying to know how I will look with and without the mole." He gave a random excuse and went back near the chopping board.

"Oh!" Sky said and again went to silence mode.

After contemplating for a while Arlo asked in hesitation, "Which is good? with mole or without?"

"With mole" Sky replied nonchalantly.

Arlo was surprised. He thought she would say 'I don't know' or she may ignore it or beat around the bush.

"Ms.Sky!" Arlo called. Sky hummed and looked at him.

"Do you remember... ... touching my mole?"

Sky widened her eyes and spoke in shock, "So that wasn't a dream! I was in the hospital, right? with those wired clips on my hand."

Arlo froze, He didn't know what to say. She accepted so casually but he had thought so many times to ask about it but he asked finally.

"I'm sorry, I was half asleep and woke up after such a long time." Sky said and continued to drink.

...

Soon the meeting resumed and Sky took over the second part of the presentation. She demonstrated how they would be taking Harley fashion to e-commerce which was a simple improvement in the existing venture.

Then she completely explained the Carlton Lake project.

"... So there will be a total of twenty vacation abodes. six weaving nest model, seven of each cylindrical and modern models. This is the aerial view after the project...." Sky pointed a laser at the projector screen as she explained.

"...This part, there will be a restaurant that will also serve as a highway restaurant. Restaurant visitor parking will be in the front and backside parking is for resort guests. The opening of this resort is planned at the year-end. Any questions?"

Sky finished and walked towards her chair without any expression.

Few of the shareholders praised the unique design and location which Sky brushed it off with a faint smile without really caring about the praises.
