Aloof CEO's; Charming Secretary

Sky pulled his hand to make him walk slow, "They were telling me about their funny experience during travel..." She told them a few of their things they told her.

"Oh!" Sam said and they reached her room. "If you step out without knowing me, I will never take you out again. So..."

"Stop nagging me. I will not come out until you call me. Happy?" Sky rolled her eyes at him and went in.

In the morning, they started trekking after breakfast.

On the way, they stopped by the waterfalls. They had to cross the river walking on the rocks. Since Sky couldn't play in the water, Arlo stayed with her and all went under the falls.

"You go. I will sit here." Sky told to Arlo who was standing next to her.

"Why? To let them kidnap you?" Arlo said as he pointed a group with his chin.

Sky turned and saw them, they were the same group travelers who she met the previous night. She took a step to meet them, Arlo pulled her back.

"Arlo! They were just kidding." Sky pouted.

Arlo ignored and didn't leave her hand. He asked his own question. "Do you want to go near the falls?"

Sky nodded and shook her head. Arlo chuckled, "What do you mean by that?"

"I want to go but I have to enter the water in that place. It's above my knee-length." Sky always missed the fun which included water.

"Remove your shoes, I will take you." Arlo said and removed his boots.

Sky sat next to him, "You will not throw me into the water, will you?"

Whenever she saw the pool, sea or river, she always asked him that question. He regretted why he lost his patience on Ethan's birthday. "Can you please forget that?"

Sky just smiled for that. She held her shoes in one hand and held his hand in another before entering the water.

"Arlo! Don't leave my hand!" Sky said as her grip tightened.

Arlo's lips tilted up, "Never!"

Sky's complete focus was on the slippery rocks in the water, she didn't notice his tender gaze and mesmerizing smile.

The water level increased as they continued to walk. Her grip on his hand increased gradually.

"I saw white fishes. There, there."

"Ahh, I thought it just knee-length depth. Why is it increasing?"

"Rock is still a few steps ahead."

Sky kept speaking to stop thinking about water but her focus was still on the water. When water almost reached her shorts, she tiptoed but slipped. "Aaarlooo!" She shouted in fear. Her heart was in her throat.

She thought she would fall in the water and get drenched completely by the time Arlo could bring her up. Then everyone would worry about her which would ruin the outing.

Arlo's complete attention was on Sky. So when she slipped, he quickly wrapped his hand on her waist and lifted her up.

Realizing she didn't fall, she fastened her hands around his neck and slightly trembled before calming down.

Knowing she was scared, Arlo took large steps and made her sit on rocks. "Are you okay?" Arlo asked in a worried tone.

Sky had already calmed down hence she smiled vividly, "I almost thought I fell down. Thanks to you."

Arlo's heart skipped a beat looking at her. Sun rays falling on her face, her eyes glittered like diamonds and her flawless soft skin dazzled with a pink glow.

Sky who called him twice shook his arm, "Arlo! What happened? Are you going to stand in the water like this?"

Arlo came out of his daze and climbed on the rock.

The travelers reached them and asked in a concerned voice. "Hey, Sky! Are you okay? We heard you screaming. Are you hurt?"

Sky stood and waved at all who greeted her, "Jane! I was about to fall in the water so it just spilled out."

"Girl! It's just water." A man said.

Sky just gave a faint smile but Jane commented, "Thanks to your strong boyfriend, you are safe and sound."

Sky shook her head and said the matter of fact, "He saved but he isn't my boyfriend. We are colleagues."

Arlo looked at her from the side and maintained his distant mode from others.

"Oh! never mind. We are going near waterfalls. See you!" Jane said and others followed.

Sky went towards Clark's bag to fetch the camera and started taking pictures.

Arlo stood rooted and looked at her with a gentle smile on his face. Sensing somebody behind him, he turned around and saw a man who was from the traveler's group.

"I'm sorry! you two were looking good, so I captured some pictures, Perhaps do you want them? Or shall I delete them." He said as she checked Arlo's expression.

Arlo took his camera and went through the pictures swiftly, "Thank you!" He said and transferred all pictures after connecting his mobile.

"I don't know about Sky, But are you sure you don't love her? You are a completely different person with her. Hmmm anyway... None of my business, carry on." That man took his camera and left after finishing what he wanted to say.

Arlo didn't give any reaction to that man. His expression turned gentle when he looked at his mobile.

A few pictures were him looking at Sky and she was looking down at the water. One was he holding her by the waist and she was hugging his neck but her face wasn't visible. One was his dazed look at her standing in water and she was smiling at him.

'When others can tell, why can't you see it?' Arlo thought to himself looking at pictures.

Sky who was taking pictures turned towards him and took his picture. He was looking at the mobile with a warm smile.

She adjusted some camera settings and focused on him, "Arlo!" When he raised his head, Sky captured the picture. Feeling satisfied with the picture, she went to him.

"See! You are looking so cool." Sky extended her hand to show his picture. He was indeed striking. With those adjustments for background, he was breathtaking in the picture.

Arlo hummed, "Who taught you to use the DSLR camera? You are pretty good."

"Loran!" Sky said and waved at men who were in the water to call them out.

The next trek stretch was difficult than the first. Ethan who got tired and was whining. If path gets tedious, one or the other one would give hand to Sky to help her but most of the places she would manage herself. By the time they reached peak for bungee jumping it was eleven.

"Who is going first?" Sky excitedly asked.
