Chapter 421 - Vicious

Sky had finished her ice cream and was thinking about what to order next, Arlo and others joined her.

Arlo gave her hot chocolate, "Who eats ice cream in this weather?" He had seen her enjoying icecream from distance, He wanted to stop her but seeing her savoring it, he didn't do anything.

"Me!" Sky replied in low voice but the other five still heard her and found it cute.

"But who drinks hot chocolate after chocolate icecream?" Sky knew why he bought her hot chocolate but she still felt displeased to drink it.

"You!" Arlo said controlling his smile.

Sky was speechless. His seniors burst into laughter, they never thought in their life to see Arlo being affectionate and funny.

Even though Sky usually be with men, they were all known to her and David specially picked them so she wasn't awkward or uneasy with them. But being around five unknown men, she didn't know whether to give a face to Arlo and talk with them or ignore.

Arlo noticed her foot tapping which means she was either nervous or thinking what to do. "Ms.Sky, They are my college seniors. You can ignore them."

'Seriously? Who says that?' Sky looked at Arlo and swept her eyes on five men who glared at Arlo.

"Savage." Sky whispered to Arlo.

His seniors took a deep breath and introduced themselves to her.

"Hey Sky! I'm Jaxon."

"I'm Dylan."

"Jack here."

"We just met! Freddie here."

"We met in the morning." Thomas said and looked at her expression, "You forgot me? Sh*t! Thomson here."

Sky who nodded to first four as greet, For Thomas she was confused and said "Oh"

Sky moved closer to Arlo, "Senior whom you met in Library, that Thomson?"

Arlo hummed. They casually chitchatted for some time until they make things difficult for Sky.

"Sky! Who do you think handsome in us six?" That was from self-obsessed Thomson.

"Do I have to answer that?" Sky asked back.

"Don't worry nobody will hold grudge against you if you point me?" Thomson said.

Sky glanced at Arlo before replying with a question, "Are you really a professor?"

'Pfft' Dyan spat his coffee and coughed hard.

Others were laughing holding their stomach. That was the question they always asked him.

Jack asked while laughing, "Doesn't he looks more like spoiled rich playboy?"

Sky nodded, "Kind of. I didn't even guess he is the same person who I met in the morning until he said it" then she turned to Arlo, "Isn't he self-obsessed with his looks?"

All were laughing their ass off looking at Thomson whose face was dark as coal.

"Ms.Sky, you don't know who is real narcissistic in here." Thomson snorted looking at Arlo.

All others agreed to Thomson but Sky didn't agree. "From more than seven months, I have never seen him being narcissistic. In fact, I was the one who always admired him."

All were shocked to know Arlo wasn't egomaniac in front of Sky and confused why a CEO admired her secretary?

Jaxon coughed lightly before asking, "Isn't he! your secretary?"

Sky nodded and glanced at Arlo for not understanding their reason for asking.

Thomson spoke without leaving Jaxon to continue, "Who admires their secretary unless the chief loves them?"

Arlo faint smile disappeared and regretted getting them to talk to Sky. He was about to rebuke, Sky spoke without hesitation.

"Mr.Thomson Hathaway! I can pay for your schooling if you are willing to improve." Sky furrowed her brows and diverted her attention to hot chocolate.

When all were surprised how she was like Arlo and controlled their laughter as they looked at Thomson who was fuming.

Arlo explained, "She means Admire and Love aren't the same. You may admire the one who you love but that doesn't mean you have to love the one who you admire."

Thomson rolled his eyes at him but he wanted to puke blood when he heard Sky.

When Sky heard Arlo explain, she looked at Arlo who was looking at Thomson and asked, "Does your college give a fake certificate for money? How did your senior pass if you have to explain such trivial things?"

Arlo chuckled and rubbed her head, "Senior Tom was the topper in his batch."

"Oh!" Sky glanced at everyone once, "So this is a typical Philomaths group. Sorry, Mr.Thomson Hathaway, I can understand why you don't understand such things."

Thomson laughed awkwardly and muttered, "Previous provoke was better than this."

When Sky excused to the restroom, All attacked at Arlo by throwing their questions, doubts, and comments.

"Where did you find your replica? She is pretty but she is also Vicious."

"Are you sure she doesn't know your real identity?"

"How can President be obedient to her secretary?"

"Don't you talk more with her than with others?"

"You even copy her comments."

"Who will be docile if you guys get together?"

.

.

"She said more than seven months, how long are you going to wait?"

"Don't tell us you are waiting for her to propose?"

"You are her secretary, why will she choose you? She will go for some heir or rich businessman."

"When are you planning to propose?"

Sky entered and heard that question but she didn't know who Freddie was asking so she just sat down.

All froze including Arlo.

While Sky returning, she looked around in the cafe and came behind him hence he didn't see her. There was a weird silence between them before talking about their college development.

Due to jet lag, Sky started to yawn even though she tried to control. Arlo noticed it and asked, "Sleepy?"

Sky didn't answer. "Hungry."

Usual dinner time in Country A was half-past six to eight and most of the time they eat around seven. But in Country U, dinner usually starts after half-past seven or eight and people usually eat late.

"Let's go" Arlo said and stood up.

"We will leave. You guys carry on." Arlo said and led Sky outside.

"Bye!" Sky bid them and moved towards the parking near the car.

Arlo drove just a few meters and slammed on the brakes. Sky was puzzled and looked at him.
