Chapter 22

*Shrishti Pov*

"You seem to be really busy these days. Are there any problems with work?" I asked when he finally picked the call after I tried to call him two times.

We weren't able to meet last week as he had some conference to attend to meet investors and so it's been nearly a month since we meet each other.

"Kind of! What happened?" he asked clearing his throat.

He must be still trying to overcome the problems at work. I thought it will be fine when his Dad stops threatening him with the investment.

He told me that they need to get more investments but it could be a problem. Should I invest some in his company that could reduce the burden?

"Shrishti?" I came back from these thoughts hearing his voice.

"By when will you reach tomorrow?" I leaned back enquiring about it so that I can adjust my work tomorrow to meet him up early.

"Tomorrow?" he asked and I heard a few voices in the background talking about some trip.

"Is something wrong?" I asked frowning and he didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"Shrishti! I forgot about this weekend and my friends already planned a trip." He mumbled and I sighed closing my eyes.

"Then it's fine, Nitish. I got worried thinking the work is too heavy right now for you to take some break. Have fun! Let's meet next weekend." I said feeling relieved.

"You don't mind? Or I could talk to them." I immediately stopped him saying, "Your friend just returned from the states right? Just spend some time with your friends which will get you to relax."

"Okay! Let's talk later." I added cutting the call when my assistant knocked on the cabin door.

She placed the files of the clients we met recently before asking, "Are you fine, Maam?"

"It's just a cold. Don't worry about it but thank you for the cough tablets." I replied smiling but she shook my head.

"Your voice is getting worse, Maam. It is better to take a rest for two days. Anyways, tomorrow is Friday and you will have two days to rest and it is better to rest tomorrow also." I stared at her for a second.

"Is my voice really hoarse?" I asked and she nodded while I frowned for a second.

"Thank you! I will take some rest if I need to." She nodded before leaving the cabin while I stared at the phone in silence.

Why wasn't he able to tell from my voice that I got cold? In the past, he used to even get the hint of any problem with my mood. I guess he is really that busy with work and it is better to not disturb him.

I leaned back again closing my eyes feeling tired and wish to just go somewhere and sleep with someone bringing me food and everything.

But I don't want to stay at the hotel for sure and I really want to stay at home. Well, I have a home, don't I?

After passing the work to my assistant I packed my things and also bought the things I would need if I fall sick and immediately started for Villa.

I greeted the present helpers and they realized I couldn't talk properly which caused the beginning of their actions to give me so many things to soothe my throat.

I just tried a few things before reaching our room and laid down to take some rest while asking them to leave in the evening like every day and need not worry about me.
