She reached early purposefully.

When Arlo went to his desk, he saw ketchup on his chair and note near keyboard '(tongue out emoji) Get used to me.'

During work time, Sky didn't pull any prank on him. Due to a meeting, Sky went to the kitchen late and they started to eat. Arlo was trying to be cautious as much as possible even careful when talking...

"Arlo! I want water." Sky asked.

Arlo nodded and went to get it. Sky quickly poured salt to his juice and pasta.

Sky smiled amiably and drank water. "Thank you!"

Arlo nodded and took a bite of pasta. He spat out and glared at Sky before drinking the juice. He spat out quickly.

Sky burst into laughter seeing his darkening face. He drowned her glass of juice to remove saltiness from his mouth. Thanks to powdered salt, it worked well as Sky wanted.

"Oops! Get used to me." Sky said as she pitied pasta on his plate.

"Sky! When are you going to stop playing these tricks?" Arlo asked as he saw her eating nonchalantly.

"When you learn about your mistake!" Sky replied and continued to eat.

He pulled her cheeks hard until it turned red, "Arlo!" She hit his hand and rubbed her cheeks. 'Idiot!'

"Do you think anyone could believe that aloof CEO who screws everyone in the meetings also pulls pranks like children?"

Sky rolled her eyes and continued to eat. She never cared about it.

"I'm sorry. I will not take advantage like yesterday." Arlo apologized and looked at her.

Sky nodded slowly and replied, "Better! hmmm... Eat now." She pushed her plate to the center. He was okay without eating since she offered he ate with her.

They almost finished when Sky got a call and she furrowed her brows but she received it.

"Sky?" A pleasant voice heard on the other end.

Sky was cold and distant, "Yes!"

Arlo raised his brows to ask, Sky put on speaker and kept mobile on the table when a voice heard. "Harry here! I'm in the Harley corporation waiting area. May we meet for a few minutes?"

Arlo saw Harrison Williams in the notification bar and private number near the string of numbers. Sky knew about Harry, even if it was brief, he wasn't someone to meet somebody for timepass without reason.

And Vice-president of Construere in Harley Corporation reception couldn't leak out as both were in the construction field. Else there would be headlines like 'King of construction changing company'

"Sure. I will be there in five minutes." Sky replied and hung up.

Arlo shook his head.

"Do you trust me?" Sky asked directly as his expression was hard to read.

And she was about to continue, "If not..." Arlo cut in. "I trust you. But I don't trust other men."

Sky didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If you trust me, stop giving me that look and don't expect me to ask your permission in what I do. I will decide which I should ask before doing it. Any problem?"

Hearing her serious statement, he didn't want her mood to be awful with him. "I have no problem! But If you give me a serious look any longer, I will kiss you."

"Holycr*p!" Sky got down from the barstool and ran out. He chuckled looking at her departing figure.

He never wanted to restrict Sky. But the information about Harry he got made him think twice.

'Why will Vice-president of Construere request for changing his award presenter position to Sky Barton?' But Sky has to handle it herself.

Sky went down after grabbing the jacket from her office. When she exited, most of the employees greeted her.

"Ms.Barton!"

"Ms.Barton!"

.

After Sky won the award, it was also announced on the Harley employee's website and everyone knew her as Sky Barton and they respected her for her achievements in her front.

Sky only nodded as a response but she didn't care who was greeting her. As it was known in the complete corporation that Sky Barton was close to Chairman Harley, President Harley, Assistant Gill, and Secretary Arlo.

Harry saw Sky and stood up. She was in a formal above knee length red and navy blue dress. Her hair was slightly curled which fell on her nude-colored jacket gave a mature look to her. With the navy blue pumps, she looked taller than most of the females around her.

Harry saw many greeting her and she responded coldly with a nod. He didn't expect so many to greet her.

As per his news, she was working in the HR department but she studied Arts. She got two awards as an architect and she led the Harley resort project which there were no bookings available till the last date available.

Nothing matched her qualification. But she was still as confident as ever in whatever she did.

"Senior!" Sky greeted as he didn't speak even after she faced him.

Sky swept a cold glance at hubbub around her when she stood in front of Harry. The slow-moving pace changed to fast-moving and they dispersed but a rumor started

'Sky Barton will be hired by Construere.'

"Shall we talk in the cafe across the road?" Harry asked with a smile on his face.

Sky nodded and went out when four guards covered them as her fingers danced on her mobile keyboard. Harry knew the guards were for Sky, "Are they your bodyguards?"

It was ordered by David which all employees knew. When the award was announced, he listed many reasons and said he would be providing security for Sky Barton so none of the employees were surprised.

"Kind of." Sky replied.

Both reached the cafe. Harry ordered coffee for himself and Sky just took a small mineral water bottle.
