"So,how was it?" Lai hops on the bed with a cushion, waiting for the great Meera's story time.
"Seriously? Let me freshen up first." I walk into the bathroom.
"I can't. Tell me. What did you two do?"
I turn and gasp finding Lai leaning on the bathroom door frame.
"No! First, let me shower." I close the door on her face.
"Hey! But what did you both talk about?" I hear Lai's voice coming through the door.
This girl is seriously mad!
"We talked about birds and flowers. Happy? Now stop talking and let me shower in peace!"
I turn on the shower and let the cold water sprinkle over me.
"Fine. But you need to tell me everything!" Lai keeps shouting from behind the door.
"Sorry, can't hear you." I say and turn the shower to full speed. <
"So, what party is this exactly?" I look through the books stacked on the office shelf. Just curiosity."It is a success party for Mr. Saxena's company." I hear Elen say."Okay. But why should I go there? It's his company's success party. What job do I have there?" I turn back to Eleanor."There can be several reasons. Maybe,he wants to show you off as his arm candy in front of other personalities there." She replies.The statement kind of hurts,but I can't expect better than this. Dhruv Saxena certainly wants a girl by his side. And he already has one. Who will intentionally destroy his day. I give myself a mischievous smirk."Remember one thing,Meera. Your behaviour might lower your salary at the end. Because Mr. Saxena will be paying you. Being under the contract doesn't change the fact that he is our client and you are the service provider. If we find anything g
"Dhruv Saxena" I say. Why???"Hello sweetheart." He looks at me and smiles.He walks towards me and keeps staring at me. Yeah, I know I look hot. Now get over it!"You...look heavenly." He compliments with his usual smile and I roll my eyes."And you look...hmm... decent." I raise my eyebrows.He smiles and looks down,as if blushing.Surprisingly, I am not very angry at him right now. Everytime,his face makes me dream about punching him. But today I actually can make an exception.Is it because of his behaviour yesterday? Did he buy you with the ice cream too? The thought crosses my mind.No! Not at all! Meera! Don't get soft with this freak!But do watch out. Don't disappoint him so far that he cuts it from your salary. You have worked hard so far
"Yeah. It is." I reply with a fake smile. I have to say that I am getting quite used to this smile. And maybe good too.He sips his drink and looks at me with lust evident in his eyes."Is this seat taken?" He gestures at the seat beside me. Oh, no. I don't want him to sit here."Yes, it is." I turn my attention at the source of the unfamiliar voice.A man, shorter in height compared to that grey eyed creep stands in front of us, smiling. He is certainly good looking and kind looks cute with his broad smile."Okay." The creeps gets his cue to leave, so he does.I let out a light chuckle at the sight, drawing the other man's attention."Hello my lady. Sorry for not introducing myself. But I thought that you needed some rescuing from Samuel, so jumped right into the track." He smiles.This tim
Dhruv's POVBoris drives us to Eleanor's office,to drop Meera off there."Meera?" I call her."Yeah?" She speaks in a light tone. This can be considered as the first success of my plan. She is not having a bad temper anymore after I took her to Ariaza."Thank you for being good at the party. And I apologise for my behavior earlier." I say in a sincere way. But the truth is far bitter."Hmm. Whatever. Good night." She says and steps out of the car."Good night, Meera." I greet her back.I check her back while she walks into the office. She is one beautiful masterpiece. Something even she cannot see."Go." I order Boris.After an hour or so, I walk through the entrance gate of my house.All the workers rush in t
I step out of the car and walk without sparing a glance at Dhruv. Of course, I don't want him to see the smile I have on my face. Duh!I walk to Eleanor's office. I told Dhruv to drop me here as I need to get changed and then go home. Basically, I can't go to Lai's home wearing this fancy sexy black dress. Then,it will be the last day I stay at her house.I enter the building and hear Dhruv's car driving away.Today was amazing! I really loved the location and food of the hotel he took me to. But , that doesn't mean I am into him or interested in him in any way. Nope.I wanted to give him the Illusion that I am. That will make the game much easier.He definitely thinks that I am stupid enough to not see the motive behind his behaviour. It's not very hard to figure out.I enraged his ego. So he wants to take revenge
"Meera!" Eleanor looks at me and gives a smile."Hi." My eyes drop on the little chum sitting on the bed and staring at me with her round green eyes."She is your daughter?" I ask"Yeah." Eleanor turns towards the little chum and smiles at her."What's her name?""Pearl." Eleanor repliesI walk towards the bed and sit close to Pearl.She keeps staring at me with a finger on her mouth."Hello,buddy. You're so pretty. " I say with a smile. She doesn't respond back but just keeps sucking her finger and looks at the bed." I love your cheeks. Can I have them?" I forward my hand to touch her cheeks and press them lightly. She is so cute."Okay,baby. Let's get you to sleep." Eleanor pulls Pearl in her arms and
"How many hours more?" I whisper in Lai's ear."A few minutes more. Mom is finishing." She whispers back with her eyes close and hands joined in prayer.I sigh and close my eyes again and do not dare to move from my praying position.I hear the bell ring. It is definitely aunty ringing the holly bell over the idols of our Hindu Gods.I feel someone poke my right arm,so I open my eyes and find aunty standing in front of me with her hands forwarded towards me. I understand what she means and I fold my palms ,one over the other to review the sweet. It's called 'prashad' in our place.I pour it in my mouth and jerk off the excess,not forgetting to touch the sweet on my forehead before I gulp it in. Well,I was taught all of it in India. Puja was more common there. My dad used to do it regularly. While me and Sonia tried to disturb him. Stran
"What did she say?""Have to go on another date with Dhruv and then I am eligible to ask for the month's salary." I say to Lai."That's good. Don't wait for it. Ask Dhruv whether he is interested to go on a second date." Lai says in excitement."Eleanor told the day of my last date that I was supposed to go on a date this Sunday with him.""Oh. That's the end of this week. " Lai's face drops."I will bargain for another day from Udipi. But the money is important. I need to go on this date." I say."Okay. But today is already Thursday. Shouldn't you be informed about when and where your next date will be?""Not really. Eleanor sometimes informs me about my date quite late. Like the day before the date. But it didn't cause any problem." I reply to Lai's question.Lai loo
