In a hurry, he hadn't given me the directions and I being me, hadn’t even asked for it.

I opened the first door to find a lavish room. It wasn't a bedroom or studio. I walked inside the room admiring its beauty. There in the center of the room resided a mahogany wood table with a comfortable looking leather seat behind it. Two expensive looking chandeliers hung from the ceiling on either side of the room.

Did I just walk into someone's office? I moved forward and looked at the files that were neatly arranged on a side stand. Above the files was an unopened parcel.

Mr. VIAAN RAIVARDHANwas printed on it.

Oh shit! I had walked into the lion's private den!

I immediately rushed out like the room was lit on fire. If Viaan found out about it, he would setmeon fire for sure. I closed the door behind me like it was before I walked inside, and quickly looked around to see if anyone had seen me walking in.

Breathing a sigh of relief upon finding no one, I headed back to the mezzanine where Aaryan had initially brought me.

I thought my little tour went unnoticed, had thought that it wouldn't put me into any problem. The keyword being ‘thought’.Because I was dead wrong. I had signed my very own doom and I didn't even know. A doom named as Viaan Raivardhan.

13. TERAH

Istood there admiring the view from the glass wall waiting for Aaryan to return. I was lost in my thoughts about what I had done and what I should have done instead.

I had let my heart take control of the situation, and acted impulsively rather than rationally. Now, I was jobless!

I sighed in frustration. Will Viaan listen to me ever again? After I called him a jerk before the board of members? Will he let me keep the job as Aaryan had suggested?

Stupid! Stupid Rynah! This is all your big mouth's doing!

I groaned loudly, feeling exhausted from the internal argument.

"You should not trouble your pretty little head there, Craziness," I turned to find Aaryan who was followed by a butler carrying a tray of delicacies and juices. Aaryan motioned the tray to be placed on the teapoy which the butler did and left.

Sitting down like an elegant man, Aaryan motioned me to mirror.

"I think I should get going. I have to get back to the office to retrieve my things. I've left everything back there... And possibly try to talk to Viaan," I explained.

"Don't worry Rynah, I've asked Neel to grab your things on his way back," he picked up a raspberry and put it into his mouth.

"Really? Thank you so much!" I exclaimed gratefully and almost hugged him,‘almost’being the keyword. I wouldn't want to give that charming rascal a reason to tease me. He just replied with a two-finger salute, like the captains.

"I'll head over to meet my cousin for a while and then be back to collect my things later?" I asked hopefully.

"Sure, go ahead. Have a great time! You deserve it," he winked after popping another raspberry into his mouth.

You know what? Chuck it! I was giving him a hug, and a tight one!

Without wasting another second, I took a step towards him and hugged him taking him by surprise. When I withdrew, he still had his eyes wide open, "what was that for?"

I just smirked as I replied, "that was the payback for what you did. Get ready to be worshiped by queen bitches."

I winked at him when he laughed at me for giving him back his words. I headed towards the lift when I turned around and added, "you know what, Aaryan? You are the perfect friend a girl could ever ask for."

He grinned wider when he heard my words.

******

"What!?!" To say I was surprised didn't cover it. I was utterly dumbfounded would be the best way to put it.

I stared at Anjali for a whole two minutes.

"Say something," she spoke desperately. Her eyes pleaded me.
