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

Chapter 25

*Shrishti Pov*

"Shrishti!" I got startled while breaking away from the thoughts roaming in my head.

"What?" I asked staring at the four people who are staring right at me with questioning looks.

"Is something wrong?" Prathap asked frowning and I shook my head smiling.

"You should have brought Nitish with you. We didn't talk to him properly that day and didn't get a chance to meet him properly and have a talk." He added leaning back.

"What talk?" I asked to which he glanced at Anny.

"Nothing! Just to know him a bit..." he cut his words from which Vikranth continued saying, "Also to let him know us a bit."

"He already knows you all as I talked to him too much about our friendship. Also, he is busy right now with work and even we are unable to meet properly these days." Again is what I would I to add at the end of it but I stopped myself.

After deciding to not try to do anything for his Mom's acceptance, everything went well except that he became busy again, and at least this time it is not because of spending time with his friends.

He is trying to get new investors and this time he is rushing towards that more than before but I don't know why he is in such a rush but then he must be anxious to get the company back on track.

"Right! After everything, his company must be in a bad condition. Did he at least fired the people who made that mess?" Prathap asked but I shrugged not knowing how to answer it.

Like Prathap even I want Nitish to somehow punish his friend who caused so much trouble just because of the business rivalry but I don't know how deep is their friendship for him to forgive him just like that.

"I hope they got punished. How can they attack anyone just for the success of the business? But did you guys caught the one who spread the rumors about Anny? That person need to be punished too as it all started from that rumor otherwise Nitish's company people wouldn't have anything to attack Anny." I asked glancing at Vikranth which made him glance at Anny while the others too followed his sight.

"Don't worry about it now." She mumbled nodding at me before glancing at Kanika making me frown in confusion.

"Do you want GH to help him?" Vikranth asked and I immediately glanced at Kanika to see her reaction but she is talking to Anny in whispers and didn't seem to even concentrate on what he is saying.

"Didn't you already? I know you stopped the case to an extent after realizing I got engaged to him." I pointed out but he didn't acknowledge that or rejected it.

"You shouldn't have done it. I mean I am glad that his worries got reduced but still I don't want anyone to do something that they don't do generally because of me again." I added staring at Vikranth with a serious look and he slowly nodded but still gave a worried look.

"Don't worry! Even he wouldn't like to take help like this and he can manage." I assured them and glanced at Kanika once again.

"What is it?" Anny asked after catching me with my stares at Kanika and her continuously.

"How is your work?" I asked Kanika and she calmly explained that it is fine and still working with her mentor.

"Who is your mentor? Is it a famous designer? I know a few because of my work as I recommend them to my clients for their attires." I continued smiling.

"Used to be famous but not right now. I am sorry that I can't say the name as my mentor wishes to keep it secret at least until everything gets established." She explained and I nodded still smiling before glancing at Anny.
