"You agreed?" Lai holds my shoulder."Yes. This is a chance I can't miss. For at least a day,he is giving me the power." I say. But my statement sounds awkward. Does it infer that I have to depend on him giving me power? "I know that you will understand my point. Go and enjoy your date." Lai smiles. "Are you insane? Go on a romantic date with Dhruv Saxena? No way! This is a game,Lai. And we're each other's opponents here." I say, looking ahead the window. The sky looks clear. "How can you say that? What if he has real emotions for you? If he learns that you are just playing a game with him,it will break his heart." I smirk. "You are too naive,Lai. There's no such thing as real. Not for this man. And I haven't entered the arena by my own choice. I was dragged into this shit. So I better play with my rules." I hear Lai si

 The sun sets on the horizon, bidding it's goodbye to the evening sky. The sky changes its colours. From blue to a mix of orange and yellow. The lake acts as a mirror, reflecting the beauty of the sky.  I inhale the evening breeze and close my eyes to feel the serenity of the environment.  "Can I get you something?" I hear a voice beside me.  "Yes. Your head on a silver platter." I open my eyes. Fuck this dick for destroying my moment of serenity. I was feeling so poetic a few minutes ago. He doesn't answer back and moves away from the seat. Good. Finally, I can be at peace.  Straight half-an-hour. For half-an-hour,I sat with this dick on my side, sometimes staring at the lake and sometimes staring at me. I can't understand why he is accompanying me! Like, I already made my intentions clear to him. And he did look angry in the beginning. But then

 "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

"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

 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
