Chapter 235 - Hiding
Dylan and Leon went out after the latter ruined President Hays's office room to some extent. They sped towards Park Avenue in no time.
By that time, a team went to the seventh floor and the rest quickly closed down the entry and exit of the building. They also made sure there wasn't any escape route to other buildings from there.
Leon and Dylan got out of the car when their car entered Park Avenue without letting the public see them and spread rumors.
Leon stood like a grim reaper between entry and exit. His lips were twitching in self-glorification for the early success while his eyes were filled with fury for annoying him for so many days.
He hadn't got a chance to come back to the scandals about him because he didn't know about the person who was behind it and what cards that person was holding against him. If he creates a lie to end the scandal and if that person proves it wrong, then his scandal would blow up and worsen the situation more and more so he endured for so long.
Now, he was soon going to end the play of cat and mouse assuming he was a cat. He was preparing to clean up effectively and see her kneel at his feet in defeat.
However, Dylan who had studied Ava Kelly's style to play Leon Harmon was sure she wouldn't get caught so easily. They weren't chasing her but she was bringing them out. She was just making Leon waste time thinking about her, her plans, and making him ignore the rest. So that her next attack goes unnoticed until it strikes hard on Leon.
Dylan was actually curious to know about her next move, if she suffered the four officers so much, how was she going to play the rest?
He smirked thinking Harmon and Dawson will lose their investment in the Chemical manufacturing plant, but how? Will she support Rivas Industries? He shook his head in declination of his question assuming President Rivas aka Aaron Rivas doesn't care to listen to the third person, much less a girl whose identity is complex.
Then a thought arose. 'If everything is happening as she planned, why did she appear in front of me? Does she know I was the one who returned her mobile? Is she luring me to use against Leon? Or trying to destroy me using Leon?...'
He had many speculations and felt each one is possible. He let out a soundless sigh, he decided to stay unknown of it and watch how she is planning.
If she wants him to pay for his sins of staying and supporting Leon Harmon, he was ready to accept it but only after Leon Harmon has no chance of redemption.
Or he might actually kill Leon if he gets the information he was looking for. And that's the reason he was staying by his side too.
While Leon and Dylan were in their thoughts, victories, failures, and dilemmas, the Shadow team wasn't doing any good.
Aarvi had clearly mentioned not to follow her, they knew how intricately she designs and an external plan will cause damage rather than doing any good.
Standing here and there, Shadow team members were very anxious about how Aarvi could exit the building as they watched Leon's men completely cover the building.
The Shadow team can't enter the building smoothly but forcefully. If they try to enter with force, then it will create havoc between the two groups. And it's definitely not appreciable and safe for Aarvi or them.
Thus how could they make sure about the safety of Aarvi? They weren't only panicked about the harmlessness of Aarvi but also Shawn.
They didn't even know if they should blame themselves for listening to Aarvi's orders by standing helpless or blame themselves as incompetent to lacking in understanding Aarvi's plan.
They had no choice but to wait for ten minutes which Aarvi asked before they took everything under control in their method.
...
Absolutely aware of the things happening, Aarvi held Shawn's hand running towards the end of the building.
Shawn followed her as he asked, "Little Heart, why don't you tell us the plan prior?" They reached the end of the floor.
"You won't enjoy it if I had narrated the plan, now you are curious, thrilled, and in high anticipation of how we are going to escape when Leon's more men are coming this way."
She explained as she removed her high heels. It wasn't the complete truth, she doesn't speak about her plans because they were all backup plans. They might not have used any if Leon ignored them and went to his company.
Shawn was nodding when he noticed a wooden plank placed between two buildings. It was wide enough for walking on it but it wasn't sufficient for two to walk together as there was too wide a gap between the two buildings.
Aarvi nudged him as she was in a bodycon dress. Shawn lifted her to climb on the plank and she ran over to the next building with any fear of depth or fall. Shawn followed the same in ease right after she jumped down.
Next Aarvi ran towards the stairs grabbing his hand, Shawn remembered the wooden plank, they should remove it else Leon's men will cross and easily trace their escape route.
He paused and looked behind thinking to pull it to their side but realized the wooden plank vanished. He just had to take long strides to match her speed as he asked "Little Heart, am I in any kind of fantasy world? Why are things disappearing?"
Aarvi chuckled hearing him but didn't respond, she removed her jacket and threw it at a bin confusing Shawn as they turned to stairs and continued to alight them.historical
Shawn again paused and looked back, 'The bin vanished?' His jaws dropped.
He was late to alight and Aarvi waited for him on the next floor after wearing white running shoes.
Shawn almost tripped looking at her standing in a bodycon dress and casual shoes. "Little Heart, what the hell is going on?" He was so damn confused and there were no clues how things were being changed.
Aarvi lied saying in a mystic tone, "Magic." And flicked her fingers purposefully before opening her palm by extending her hand.
A men's jacket appeared on her hand.
But this time, Shawn saw it didn't appear but someone threw on her hand. He was about to ask, a young man came out of the door and peeked with a mischievous grin at Shawn.
Shawn slapped his head understanding somebody was taking away so soon as she was placing things in the preplanned places. He understood Leon's men had seen them from far and she was tricking them with different clothes.
The young man actioned something to Aarvi so Shawn realized he can't speak, Aarvi nodded at him with a faint smile, "Shawn quick, they will catch up with us."
Shawn handed his jacket to the young man. He wore the new jacket as he followed Aarvi to a condo at the dead-end of the corridor. "Are we hiding here?" He sounded hesitant because it wasn't safe.
Before Aarvi could respond, they heard a loud voice, "She is there with a man."
Shawn instinctively pulled Aarvi behind him, 'Hiding is never a solution.' He thought.
