The Traps of the Black Swan

'Is she happy due to my presence?' Aeon knew the answer to it. He lowered his head towards the paper with lots of dilemmas in his head.

Ruby Jane doubted if he is capable of handling Harmon Industries if she managed to pull his brother down the throne looking at Aeon blankly watching the paper.

She had an afternoon plan to meet someone special from her past so she spoke to bring him to reality, "President Harmon, take your time and sign. You can drop these papers..."

'Beep' Ruby Jane continued to speak as her eyes scanned the screen, "...at the chief secretary. He will hand-"

Ruby Jane stopped speaking after seeing Lisa's name, [Any plans for Lunch?] Ruby Jane knew well he wanted to have lunch with her.

She gave it a quick thought and smiled to herself, [I have plans. Don't skip your lunch.] Then she opened another chat and typed a message, [Take Lisa to Norma's for lunch. Thank you.]

Then she raised her head to see Aeon intently watching her. She didn't bother by it, "I am sorry, it was an important message. Yeah, take your time to go through the clauses, if you want changes, let the chief secretary know. If not, sign it and hand the papers to collect the Demand draft. You don't have to visit Skylar every time, contact the secretary, I will get to know from him."

As soon as she finished, she stood up and mentioned another relevant matter, "I have reserved Skylar's indoor studios for the shoot... I have significant work to attend, I will take my leave. Have a good day."

"You... too..." Before he could finish he saw her march out in a hurry but in elegance and a subtle smile on her face. Just like that in three minutes, his problems solved and another favor from Ruby Jane added on.

'Don't I hate her? Why am I attracted to her?' Aeon thought to himself as her lissome figure moved out of his sight. He understood one thing, never say no to President Evans when she offers anything in business because she wouldn't only gain profit, she would improve the situation of the other one.

Aeon really wished to have someone in his life like Ruby Jane who provides him peace of mind. He frowned deeper by his own thought and shook his head trying to remove Ruby Jane off his mind.

He quickly sent pictures to his advocate and he also read the papers. He didn't find any problem in the paper and his advocate said the same so he signed and collected the demand draft. Asking his assistant to visit the bank, he dealt with company stuff and arranged for the shoot to commence immediately.

What he didn't know was Ruby Jane had arranged an assistant director for him who was an expert at cinematography. She didn't have doubt in Aeon's expertise but a talented assistant would lower his burden helping him to focus better.

Ruby Jane wasn't helping him, she wanted the movie quality to be exceptional, announcing Skylar entering the Media and entertainment through investments.

--- At Norma's ---

Norma's restaurant is between M and Skylar headquarters about two miles so Ruby Jane left early to reach first. She ordered and calmly waited in the private room until Lisa entered talking on his phone instructing somebody about a project.

Lisa had no idea why Secretary Wen drove to Norma's for lunch. He had just hummed when he told him he is driving to that restaurant. Without a single thought, Lisa hung up the call saying, "My secretary will contact you."

Milo Wen: 'President, you have changed so much. I don't want to be a scapegoat.'

In the past, Lisa would have continued to speak looking at Ruby Jane unlike pushing the work on him without thinking he was talking with the CEO of another company.
