Chapter 445 - Cajoling

Elina rubbed her temples listening to their chattering. Peter had sternly warned her to keep everything secret about Sky's identity.

"He is her secretary. Get in." Elina tried to pull them in but they laughed at her.

"How can he be a secretary? Are you kidding us? He can be a model or actor with lots of female fans."

"She is dainty, He is ravishing. He is the CEO and she is a secretary. I got my new comic idea."

"Am I only one who wants to see him shirtless? He is soo hot."

"His mole is so appealing."

.

.

Their comments turned towards another side. Arlo noticed them and led Sky.

"Ms.Paxton, I'm dropping Ms.Sky. If there is  nothing, I will take her back now." Arlo saw only at Elina and spoke ignoring other admiring gazes on him.

Before Elina could reply, a woman asked, "Handsome! Are you really Sky's secretary?"

Arlo hummed vaguely and waited for Elina to respond. Another voice rang, "She doesn't even talk, Aren't you bored with her?"

Sky's lips twitched uncontrollably. 'Don't I talk?'

Arlo glared at the woman who said it. She didn't dare to look him in the eye after two seconds.

"Handsome! My husband knows a few managers in the entertainment industry, do you want to try?"

Sky pursed her lips and looked at Arlo who face was dark as coal. 'Will he strangle these women?'

Sky laughed awkwardly realizing what she thought. "He will be my secretary. He isn't interested in entertainment... Elina, I will see you on Friday evening."

Sky pushed Arlo and said in low voice, "Stop scaring them."

Elina left her friends and came to Sky, "Ms.Sky! I'm sorry. They are a little gossipy. You didn't eat properly, Shall I order take away?."

Sky gave a faint smile, "No problem! Enjoy your bridal shower. Go on."

Elina nodded and left.

Arlo held her shoulders and took her to their room. Luckily Ryan had seen them and put on his beard.

Sky shook her head resignedly and sat next to Olivia. "Your grandson is a Demon. Few were even scared to look at his face."

Ryan who heard her burst into laughter and raised his hand to high five, Sky didn't want to let down his spirit hence she high fived, "We share the same views."

'No!' Sky thought to herself.

Arlo had asked the manager to serve them a set of cutleries. Talking with Olivia, Sky ate a little.

Arlo and Ryan looked at Olivia who hardly talks when they have food at home but here she excitedly spoke to Sky.

Sensing those two were looking at her, Olivia spoke, "Why are you two looking at me?"

Arlo diverted his gaze and ate. Ryan smiled, "Grandmother! You don't talk in-home while eating. Why are you talking so much with Ms.Sky?"

Sky heard and looked at Olivia to apologize for engaging in conversation but Olivia rebutted, "What do you expect me to talk with you two? It's very rare I get Sky to talk."

Sky looked at the abandoned grandson's expression and pursed her lips to control her laughter. After composing She told to Olivia, "Grandmother, If you prefer to have silent dinner, don't bother about me. Have dinner."

"Don't mind him! My grandmother loves to have a conversation with you." Arlo said straightforwardly.

Sky nodded and finished her dinner. Olivia then asked what she wanted to ask in the beginning. "Child! Why didn't you eat in the bridal shower?"

"I didn't have an appetite." Sky replied.

Arlo completed, "They were an annoying bunch of women with a foul mouth."

Sky didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and looked at Olivia, "Why does he hate women? Of course except you."

"Except you too." Ryan said it and bit his tongue.

"Oh!" Sky knew he doesn't avoid her like how he avoids others. Ryan didn't speak, Arlo glared at him.

Olivia sensed awkwardness around and spoke, "He doesn't like it when women swoon around for his looks."

"Oh! So if I praise him for his looks, he will hate me!" Sky asked as she finished her dessert.

'If you praise the handsome demon, he will eat you up.' Ryan thought to himself looking at Arlo.

Olivia chuckled, "You can try." Sky just smiled and remained silent about it. They spoke for some time before leaving the room.

Olivia sat in Ryan's car and wounded the window down. Sky bent a little to face her.

"Child, I heard your resort is unique and refreshing. All the best for opening."

Sky smiled amiably, "Thank you, Grandmother."

When Sky was talking with Olivia, Arlo's eyes brushed on her back and frowned. He removed his jacket and hung on her shoulders.

Her fair skin was peeking between the hallow designed lace around her waist.

'This girl! Can't she wear a proper dress?... When did I start caring about dresses?' Arlo thought to himself thinking about how much he had changed.

Sky saw the jacket on her shoulders and sighed resignedly, "Okay Grandmother! Rest early."

"Take care!" Olivia said before their car left.

Sky straightened her back and turned to Arlo. She didn't see two cars of guards following Ryan's car for their safety.

"Where is your car?" Sky held his jacket towards him and asked.

Aro turned aside and went towards low profile BMW car which he had asked to bring. He opened the door and waited for her to sit before closing.

Both remained silent for some time and Arlo broke the silence, "Why are you coming late to the office tomorrow?"

Sky turned towards him raising her brows, "Are you the president?"

Arlo's brows twitched. What she meant was she was the president and he was the secretary. He glanced at her and thought to remain silent.

She spoke, "Death anniversary of my... mother."

He looked at her. She was expressionless. He didn't get any information about Amie Harley. After knowing about Milton, he got to know, Amie Harley was Amie Milton. He got to know everything about her until she gave birth to Sky. Then it was blank.

He knew she was dead but they had numerous questions to be answered but there was no way to get it other than asking David.

"Do you miss your mother?" Arlo asked carefully.

She reacted by fluttering her lashes and looked out of the window. A fazed voice heard in the car "I don't know her."

When Sky never met Amie, she never saw her and knew nothing about her, how can she miss her? She didn't even know how to react whenever Amie's topic raised.

Realizing he shouldn't have asked it, he changed the topic, "Hey, What your brother's gift you?"

Sky wasn't dumb for not to know why he changed the topic. "Arlo!"

Arlo glanced her who was pursing her lips looking at him, "Huh?"

"You are probably good at everything except cajoling a girl due to lack of interaction with them."

'Your wife will die from annoyance... Oops, how can you get a wife when you like a guy!' Sky smiled to herself and shook her head.
