I play with the paper weight set on the table as I stare at nowhere lost with my thoughts. I heard a knock on the door and a face peeping through it.
"May I come in?" Kabir raises a brow and I shake my head.
"Did you ever asked for it?" I chuckle. He smiles and walks in taking the seat right infront of me.
"So what are you here for? Something important or you showed up to laze around?" I question as he rolls his eyes.
"Missed me?" He winks.
"Not a bit." I scrunch my nose. "You totally ruined the peaceful atmosphere I was having here." I tease him.
"Will am gonna ruin your mood as well now." I narrow my eyes as he continues, "Boss asked me to tell you, there will be a dinner meeting today with the team of igneous hub." He air quotes.
"Oh why!" I face-plam, not at all liking the idea.
Our company was in talks with them for a merger for almost a months now and those people are so over their head I say. Inspite of being in a loss, they got so much in their head. I don't know what they think of themselves? And there auditor, Harsh is such a pervet.He never leaves a chance to flirt with me. Which disgusts me to the core.
"As much as we hate them, you have to go along. Boss's order." He shrugs.
"In anyway can I skip this?." I question with pleading eyes.
"You wish. But that's not possible. Anyways, we would be living by 7:00."
"I will also join. If it make you feel any better." He raises and I smile.
"Thank you! It would be atleast a little bearable with you around."
"And again why don't you do something for it?" Crosses his arm
"Because, I did talk with Boss, but all he cares about is his deal with them and he says doing something about it will ruin our chances."
"Such an ass he is."
"I know. He always tells me 'its just little bit of flirting afterall' but I just feel disgusted the moment I see him." I huff.
"Don't worry, we will get out of this soon." He reassures me
"And let's beat the crap out of that Harsh once the deals done." He winks and walks off. Oh! I so wish this deal is done soon.
Let's get ready to deal with a bastard.

"Hello Adhira!" Harsh smiles wide making me feel uncomfortable but all I could do is fake smile back.
We all settle down and after ordering a drink and exchanging pleasantries we begin talking about the business. I could feel a pair of eyes set on me now and then and I definately knew who it was considering how uncomfortable I was starting to feel.
"It's okay! We will handle him once the deals done, by considering the conversation going on it will be soon." Kabir wispers placing his hand on mine, assuring me.
"I just wanna gauge his eyes out." I huff under my breath.
"I will be back in a minute." I say excusing myself to go the restroom.
On my way, my eyes caught on a tall figure , similar to Darshan. I paused for a minute to confirm my instinct, he turns to his left smiling and it's him and opposite to him sat Tara. Oh!
Something falls in the pit of my stomach. I take a deep breath. It shouldn't bother me. But it is bothering me. Before I could walk off, Darshan sees me and I quickly avert my eyes, making my way to the restroom. After doing my business I walk out to be startled by Harsh in the mid way out.
"Sorry, I scared you there." He gives me that same creepy smile. I just shrug and try to walk off when he blocks my way. I try again but he does the same. I look up and glare at him.
"What's the hurry?" He says eyeing from top to bottom and moves his hand to touch my face which I immediately hit it off of me.
"Ohh! I like fiesty!" He says disgusting me to the core.
"Move." I say staring down, trying really hard to not loose my calm.
"Sure!" He says and makes space but the moment I try to pass by , he pushes me to the wall and inches closer.
"Fuck off!" I push him back and slap right across his face. He looks suprised as he clutches his cheek.
"Bitch!" He snarls and before he could do anything I hear someone calling me.
"Adhira!" Kabir walks in. Thank god! I sigh a breath of relief.
"Hello sir!" He greats Harsh before turning back towards me.
"What took you so long baby?" He wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me close. I stare at him with all of his sudden behaviour.
"Baby? You guys are dating?" Harsh questions removing his hand from his cheek. I could see red forming on his cheek.
"Yes, we are." I say after studying his face as he was taken a back and a big regret written on it. Well that will work then.
"Excuse me!" He says and walk off.
Once he leave I turn to Kabir, still close.
"Thank god! You showed up." I say really glad.
"When he got up, I had my suspicions. So I followed up." He smirks.
"Thank you!" I hug him really glad. God knows what would have happened. And I don't think he would say anything about what happened after seeing his reaction on seeing Kabir.
"And girl, you hit really hard." He says making me chuckle. "His cheek has turned so red."
"Well, you better not mess with me. I have moves." He smiles.
"Let's go."
We walk out talking, when I bump into a warm surface.
"Sorry!" I chip and look up to meet Darshan's eyes.
"Adhira...actually I was hear with Tara and..." He begins but I cut him short.
"Darshan, it's okay! You don't need to explain anything to me." I smile as his shoulder slump. I really don't want to know anything. If he wants to be with her it's actually good. He is trying to make things right and there's nothing wrong in that.
"And if you excuse us, we have to get back to our table." I smile and walk off.
