The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 437 - Run

Dax had been through his own heap of problems, he faced everything strongly and overcame them. Aarvi and Shawn had thought it was the end of Dax's suffering but who knew another one was waiting for him all the while.

Dax wasn't expecting that reaction. His brows raised trying to know what was happening.  Aarvi and Shawn immediately jolted back and were swift enough to erase the worry from their faces.

Aarvi pointed the fork at Dax. She inquired suspiciously, "CEO Grant, if you are planning a public display of affection with your girlfriend, here is my weapon, back out before it's too late." She threatened without knowing if Tia was there or not as Dax had planned to have lunch with Tia in Skylar.

Dax glanced at Shawn who was looking at him doubtfully. He understood they weren't surprised but shocked by his presence. But he assumed they were shocked to see him there instead of enjoying lunch with Tia.

Dax closed the door behind him indicating he was alone. Then he entered inside the private room. Standing between two, he pulled their ears, twisted it enough to give them stinging pain, "How dare you muppets leave me out?" He questioned.

He had got a message from 'Tia' mentioning Aarvi and Shawn were going out for lunch. Since he was with Tia on the previous day, he didn't think twice before canceling their lunch plan to spend time with his muppets.

"Ouch ouch…" Aarvi started exaggerating.

Instead of worrying about himself, Shawn tried to play smart, "You- How dare you to try hurting my sister-in-law?"

Aarvi hummed decisively, "Right, divert all my punishments to my dear brother-in-law. He will energetically accept it."

Bewildered, "Damn you, Little Heart, I was saving you." Shawn expected her to join him and both could tease Dax.

"Exactly. I am saving myself too." She firmly responded and innocently blinked at both.

Dax broke into jovial laughter looking at baffled Shawn. Shawn tried to save Aarvi and the latter joined him to save herself. They couldn't believe she always has her antics to leave them stupefied.

Dax wasn't really angry at them as he knew why they didn't call him. He sat on the other side of Aarvi and ordered some more food.

Shawn quickly put his plan into action as he nudged Dax, "Eat eat, we have to shop for some sexy swimsuits, co-ords, and two pieces for Little Heart. Fast fast…"

Aarvi: "..."

She looked for an escape. She wanted to run up to Aaron quickly and escape her friends who were planning a shopping spree. Her friends will make her try on tons of dresses until she cries.

Dax glanced at Aarvi before understanding what Shawn was up to. "Alright, It's Dum Dum's shopping day." He zealously joined.

"Wait... What?" Aarvi was shocked. "Dax Grant, did you forget about the company?" She couldn't believe both of them were leaving the company on the first weekday, Monday.

This is what happens when the best friends are in charge of the company.

Dax grinned in triumph, "Our stock rates are on the rise, Dum Dum. It's party time." He hadn't got much time to spend with her and Shawn.

Aarvi: "...."

Skylar was doing well in the stock market due to Dax's appearance at the Mirage Banquet and the announcement of the successful acquisition of a company.

She pinched his arm, completely aware he was going to work till late at night.

She had a doubt.

Since Dax prioritized his friends over his girlfriend, does that mean his feelings for Tia aren't deep?

Won't he be affected much after knowing the truth of Tia?

Aarvi had wished Dax and Tia could fall in love with each other. Unfortunately, her wish wasn't the same anymore.

At Rivas Hospital,

After writing down the complaint at the police station, Shea had requested if she could meet Wade Merton for a second. Nikun failed to stop her and she returned punching Wade Merton in the face, presenting him a dark glaring bruise around his eyes.

Then Nikun escorted Shea to the Rivas Hospitals. He was glad Karsen was treating her well and he assured Nikun that Shea will be the Rivas family's responsibility until she plans to leave the city.

Nikun was at ease as Shea too liked Rivas family and was obedient with them.

After making sure Shea was comfortable, Nikun left the city back to Coasta with a big set of proofs and data against Leon which Aarvi had given him to study and sort out to his requirement.

He was surprised when he got to know Aarvi had made notes on each one of them. Nikun's work was to find every loophole and report it to her with possible solutions. It wasn't urgent, and he will also need a long time to study as the case was very sensitive.

A breakthrough doesn't come at the snap of the fingers. Even though he crossed the first stage effortlessly, the coming stages weren't easy and the responsibility was abundant.

At this end, Shea heard Karsen quickly brief out how her internship and assessment would be carried out. She wasn't afraid, she was confident that she could blend and dedicate herself to her profession.

Karsen knew why Shea chose Rivas hospital when she could have easily joined a different hospital. So he didn't forget to tell her about the working style of her idol. Doctor Wells might be a young lady but she was strict than any of the surgeons in the hospital.

He had expected Shea to be afraid but she wasn't. Shea happily added, "If I will be diligent, there won't be a problem." Her way of working was simple.

Karsen chuckled, he was sure Shea would get along with all easily. Her character and behavior were such that one easily gets comfortable around her.

Karsen checked the time, he had a meeting to attend so he quickened the rest of the words, "I will send you important contacts, save them on your mobile. Any problem, you can contact them any time."

Shea checked her mobile and saved the number as she heard about the contact persons. She had also got Shawn's number which she saved silently. She doubted if she was going to meet him again.

She was fine too, she had concluded herself that she was just attracted to Shawn and liked how he had treated her when she was just a stranger to him.

Anyway, she felt like she owed him an apology for oddly behaving with him. Karsen stood up and walked her out of his office as he asked her to meet Doctor Wells at her department.

"She might interview you. Then you can follow her lead. All the best." Karsen wished her and went to the conference room.

Shea asked the way to go to the neurology department and reached there. In contrast to the other departments where nurses, junior doctors were having fun and talk, this department was way too quiet as though there was a curfew.

Her workplace was exactly the opposite of her real, bold, talkative self. Yet there was no crease on her forehead but a smile at the corner of her lips and determination in her eyes to pass the internship period and continue her master's in medicine.

Anyway, before she could step inside further, she felt a tug at her arm. The force was too strong causing her to hiss while she stumbled around by the tremendous pull.

'Pak.' Shea was shocked.

The silent neurology department suddenly buzzed with that slap while Shea stared at the unknown three men in front of her.

She didn't have time to worry about the pain.. Her instincts kicked in. She couldn't fight three so all she could think was, 'Run'
