A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 2

*Shrishti Pov*

"This place changed a lot within a year, right?" my team started talking among themselves as we finished our work of arranging the decorations for the hall we got assigned to and we just need to make sure there is no problem otherwise everything is done.

"Yes! Even the expenses raised from last year." I commented checking the receipts.

"But we got paid more than last time too." One of them smiled and I nodded smiling back.

"We are going to the club we went to last time. You didn't join us as you were in a hurry to go home. Will you come with us today?" I glanced at Jenny who is my assistant and also the first person I hired after starting this event management.

Of course! I was in a rush to go back as I was finally planning to confess to Vikranth after missing for the first time I planned.

"Sure! Let's wait until the event is done and we can leave." I replied smiling before walking away to the corner to make sure I can keep an eye on the things I assigned for myself.

"You finally reached your goal?" Vikranth asked while checking the menu.

I can't believe that I reached my goal this soon and that was possible because of receiving too many job works so soon. If not for them then I wouldn't have got the chance of confessing to him this soon.

I don't know why did I even place this condition before confessing to him. Maybe I was just scared and just needed a moment of accomplishment before saying something.

It is weird to be scared of a 27-year-old self but he is my best friend. How can I just confess when he never even talked to us about his feelings regarding the opposite sex?

He is always so involved with the business matters and at the same time successful that it feels the person he will be with must be amazing for sure and mainly the one who stands on her own.

So, I had to cover up my feelings but now even I am successful and I have some value of my own instead of just being my father's daughter.

He cares for me more than he cares for Prathap and we are comfortable with each other. I can't imagine anyone else to have as a life partner and he doesn't interact with anyone except for me this close.

I opened my mouth and closed hearing the door sound and realized Prathap is here. I wish he was a bit late but I can confess to him later.

"We are supposed to meet for dinner, right?" I glanced at Vikranth hearing that question and came out of my shock after seeing a girl standing beside Prathap who is so beautiful.

"He said the appointment is preponed." Hearing that reply I frowned but continued to stare at the girl.

"Shrishti! Congratulations on reaching your goal." I can hear Prathap but right now my focus is on knowing who is this.

"Who is she?" I asked glancing at Vikranth.

"Could be his girlfriend soon!" But the answer from Prathap shocked me to the core and then I found even Vikranth staring at him in surprise.

Somehow Prathap started explaining how Vikranth has been meeting this girl continuously while Vikranth is staring at him as if he has gone mad.

So, she is just an artist Vikranth is going to sign for his new agency and invested money more than in general but Prathap just mistook it. I am sure Prathap mistook it as Vikranth is never the type to just give excuses than what is in reality.
