I stare at him for a moment.
Is this guy for real? How can he ask me to ride with him? With him!
"Thank you for the offer,Mr. Saxena. But I have my ride. Thank you once again." I replied with a smile,more like a smirk.
But that jerk smirks back leaving me totally confused.
"That wasn't a question,Miss Adarsh." He walks towards David, tells him something that I can't hear and I see David nodding his head and leaving the place.
What the fuck! How can he do this?
Dhruv buttons up his navy blue suit and walks towards me. He gestures me to sit in the car.
Feeling hopeless, I agree and sit inside the sleek black BMW. I was going for the backseat but that asshole already pulls the door for the passenger seat for me, getting a hidden scowl from me in return. Remember, it's hidden.
I r
I tap my feet on the floor with anticipation of what's coming next.After that jerk left, Eleanor called and told me that he wants us to meet and talk about the sugary deal. I don't know what other word to use.And frankly, I don't want us to be together. Dhruv is a total dick and I have seen enough of his behaviour.I'm sure that my desire to not be with him overcomes his one to have us together. I don't want to be Dhruv Saxena's sugar baby.I can pull it off with other man, but not with this man.My eyes roam around the huge meeting room, observing the chairs lined across the huge table. It looks like a business conference room where all those black and grey suits sit together with files and discuss about shit I don't understand.The door opens, revealing Eleanor walking inside with another old man I don't recognise. He's
I want to bang my head on the table.The agreement is shit!The only freedom I enjoy here is to negotiate with my limits and demands.Dhruv on the other hand looks super pleased. He gets to keep me locked in his place if he wants.Oh my God! Days under the same place with this guy will drive me nuts.I hear the old lawyer guy reading the next section in the agreement."Under Section 8.6, the Sugar Daddy is not allowed to force any kind of sexual or abusive activities against the Sugar Baby's will."Yay! I'll throw a party for this! We're talking about the consent which I am never going to give him.Dhruv's face is stoic, no bit of happy or sadness can be seen in his face. I will take classes from him on making this type of face. So that people never understand what I am feeling.Ok. Maybe I should
"I..." I see everyone staring at me. There's a tension building in the air."I need some time to think."Dhruv looks quite dissapointed but relieved at the same time. It looks like that to me, atleast."Take your time. But you've to set a time. I can't wait forever. It's you or someone else." Dhruv says grimly. He looks pissed.But more than him, I'm pissed!What does he mean by 'its you or someone else?'What am I,a fruit on sell? Though it seems like that only.I don't reply anything except giving a nod as my ultimate reply.Everyone stands up from their seats and walk out of the conference room in silence.I find Eleanor talking with the old lawyer guy whose name I still don't know. Didn't feel like asking."Meera." I hear the infamous jerk with a no-fil
"Oh my god! Are you serious,Meera?" Eleanor sounds ecstatic after hearing what I say."Yes." I hate it. I hate to say it. But I have to do this. The money is necessary and Dhruv's stated amount is more than enough to save Sonia's life.But what about me? How am I going to stay with someone I hate from the core of my heart?"It's amazing news, Meera. Honestly, I was so worried about you rejecting it and disappointing Mr. Saxena. But you made a smart decision,love. I'll say this to Mr. Saxena immediately.""Okay. But Elen, what should I do next?""You've to sign the contract after reading and verifying everything written in it. John will be adding the negotiations you both agreed to in it."Wait. Who's John? Is it the old lawyer guy?"Okay. Let me know when it's coming.""Oh,sure. It won't
"You agreed to the offer?!" Lai exclaims more than the questioning my statement." I told you,Lai. Me repeating it won't change the truth." I retort.Lai sighs and leans on her study desk, folding her arms over her chest."I hate your mom. I can't believe she asked you for money, better to say blackmailed you emotionally putting Sonia's education on stake!" She scoffs and looks outside her window on the west wing of her room."Well,she did. And she's not my mother. She can never be. Sounds cheesy like Cinderella but it's the truth. I don't even know whay father saw in her to replace her with my actual mother." I look down at my chipped nails. There's no nailpolish in them. I don't remember the last time I wore nailpolish."Maybe,she manipulated him.""Possible. But that doesn't matter now. Right now, I need a huge amount of money to st
"Meera!" I hear Laila calling me from behind. I wipe my tears and turn around with a grim face."Hey. Are you okay?" She comes near me and wraps her arms around me in a hug. I hug back."I'm so sorry from my mother's side. You know how she is. Please don't take her words seriously. She doesn't stay in a good mood nowadays. It's a daily drama I face." She rubs my back while her breath fans my hair strands."It's ok,Lai. I don't mind her words. And I don't think harsh words affect me anymore. It's a habit inaugurated by my mother." I press my lips tear, trying to suppress my tears from flowing down.Lai breaks the hug and looks at me with sad eyes."Please don't do that." I say with irritation."Do what?" Lai asks completely confused."Look at me with sympathy. You know that's the last thing I want." I say.&nbs
"Dhruv Saxena!" I say out of shock.God heard me when I said that a lot happened today.Lai on the other hand is jumping on the bed like the overexcited idiot she is."Glad that you recognised me. Since we'll be spending a lot of time together."Creep."Oh." That's all I reply. I don't know what else to say and other than that,Lai is literally leaning on me.I signal her to behave and sit on the bed,but madam is too excited for her own good."I called you to tell you how much happy and suprised I am to hear that you agreed to this. Even though, I don't see any reason for you to reject a guy like me, yet I always keep table for the odds." I can sense his cocky smile over the phone.There's every reason for me to reject him. But only one reason to stick to the deal. Money."Hmm." I reply
