Ms. Haughty Vs Mr. Thrifty ✅

Chapter 16

Sidharth felt guilty for acting in haste. He kept looking at her but her eyes were somewhere staring blankly at a non-existent object.

Sidharth wanted to walk away. Suddenly he remembered that last time after this conversation she went away from him. What if she does the same again? Last time she was just his boss but this time she was his wife as well.

He decided to stay and talk to her than escape from the situation. He pulled a chair. Kept the lunch box in his hand on the table and opened it. She looked at him in shock.

Shehnaaz: What are you upto now?

Sidharth: Eating my lunch.

Shehnaaz: It's my cabin, you cannot eat here.

Sidharth: Oh! Is it specially made for eating Sandwiches only?

Shehnaaz: Huh? Fine you eat your food here and I am eating my sanndwich outside.

She gets up to go outside but he holds her wrist and make her sit on the seat beside him. She stares at him in silence and he stuffs a piece of roti in her mouth. She eats it. He feeds her the second bite and she eats it. He picks up the third and she opens her mouth but he puts it in his mouth. She frowns.

Sidharth: Wow! It's so tasty! You wanted to eat that sandwich right?

He leaves her wrist. She picks the tiffin box and eats a bite of roti.

Shehnaaz: Why should I? It's my lunch box. You forgot your's right. Here you can have this sandwich.

Sidharth: That's not fair. (Makes a cute puppy face)

Shehnaaz holds back her smile. (Getting a urge to pull his cheeks with both my hands but I can't. He is acting like a small baby)

Shehnaaz: (Forwards the lunch box) We can share if you want.

Sidharth smiles and they both eat their lunch. Both their stomaches were full.

Sidharth: I am surprised, why mom put so much roti for you? Hmm.. now I know why. This was for both of us and we simply fought over it.

Shehnaaz: Hmmm.. but we can't do this daily, people will start doubting on us.

Sidharth: I'll tell mom to put it in two different boxes from tomorrow. Now who eats that Sandwich?

Shehnaaz: I don't know. I can't since I am full.

Sidharth: I am full as well but I'll tell you that no one wastes food in our house.

Shehnaaz: I will give it to peon.

Sidharth: Okay! Bye! (I don't want to go)

Shehnaaz: Hmmm... (Why are you going?)

He walks until the door and opens it.

Shehnaaz: Aa..

He turns back immediately..

Sidharth: Did you call me?

Shehnaaz nods to say no. Sidharth shows her thumbs up and goes out. A subtle smile leaves both their lips.

It was almost about a log-off time when their meeting got over. Sidharth purposely tries to leave last as he wanted to talk to Shehnaaz but Asim stays back as well. There was just Shehnaaz, Sidharth and Asim in the room. Shehnaaz was still seated in the main chair, while Sidharth gathered all the papers on the table. Asim sits on the table in front of Shehnaaz.

Asim: Hey Beautiful! Would you like to go out on a date tonight with me?

Sidharth's freezes for a second and Shehnaaz moves her eyeballs to look at Sidharth without moving her face.
