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

Chapter 8

*Nitish Pov*

I don't know why am I hugging her right now but there was this sense of relief when she said I was forgiven.

Of course, when she didn't hug back which is quite a normal reaction from her, and even tried to push me away, I finally released her smiling.

"What happened to you?" she asked for the second time while staring at me with a confused look.

"Sorry about that! I was scared that you will not talk to me again and gave out that strong reaction." I replied to which she stared at me more confused.

"Leave it! You had breakfast?" I asked checking the time and it's already past ten.

"Yes! I had it at the hotel before leaving." She replied nodding and I nodded before gestured her towards the small restaurant at the entrance of the beach.

"Let's have something to drink." I offered and she nodded before we both started walking towards that place in silence.

She kept on glancing at me while I just continued to smile which could be seen as weird but after the call I received yesterday along with the doctor's final words regarding my Grandma, I can not have one less worry of not losing this special friend.

"So, what happened to you?" she asked the moment we ordered cool drinks.

"Hmm... I lost a bit important part of my business because of a small competitor and kind of got sued by a few employees." I replied and she immediately gave me a worried look.

I don't why GH is targeting my company and they actually managed to take Shalini, one of the top stars of my agency, and influential manager Gaurav from me.

To top of that, a few artists decided to just leave the agency but my friend warned them about the contracts they signed, and in turn, they sued the agency about the way we are harshly treating them.

It is a baseless case and will solve soon without much struggle but we have to let go of those artists because of the way they behaved.

Everything was going so well, and suddenly everything is turning into a mess. My hand moved to contact the management team to understand more about it but just then the doctor called me to his cabin and explained I need to prepare myself soon as her health is deteriorating.

Now, I am scared to get involved with the work for the fear of ignoring her and again miss these last moments with her. I don't know what to do.

"You don't know what's my business is right?" I asked looking at her expression to change the topic.

"It's okay! It may hurt you right now to talk about it. So, it's been nearly six months since you started living here, right?" she asked changing the topic.

"Kind of! Within a few weeks, it will mark half a year. And it will be half a year since we met too." I replied and she nodded smiling as the day after I met her, I shifted to this city.

"So, that's why you are at this time? I remember you saying you will at the beach sometimes during early mornings or at night when there are no many people present." She asked and I slowly nodded.

"That's why you came here at this time as you are sure I will not be here?" I asked and she took a sip before nodding.

"I was angry at you for messing my brain. I still can't believe I came into your words and ended up confessing to my other friend." She replied sighing and I couldn't help but laugh at her words which made her glare at me.
