Does happily ever after really exist?

Priority

Rue's Pov

2 weeks later.

'Maybe People regret not having you in their life.

You'd know if we'll be on our date.'

I know! you have repeated these sentences like 1000 times since last week. Shut up!

" Who are you shutting up?" Shray stood at the door of my office. "No one?" He caught me off guard. I sounded more confused than him. He chucked and sat on the opposite chair.

" What's going on?" He asked directly. " Why do you think there is something going on?" He sighed and ran a hand over his face in annoyance. " Rue... Stop answering my question with another question" Why does he look so pissed? I always answer with another question.

" What's going on between you and Adv," He questioned directly this time. I would have answered him if I knew what's going on exactly. "Were you with Adv at the night of party?" He asked, from the way he is asking. I think he knows the answer to that.

" Maybe?" He gave me a look saying Maybe-my-ass. " Then why are you hiding from him?" He asked in a serious tone. Why is he questioning so much? I don't hide. He looked behind me. Am I disappointing him so much that he cannot even look in my eyes? Wait why is he smirking? People are so weird nowadays.

" I asked you something?" He raised an eyebrow at me. In such times I wish I had invisible cloaks. " See! I am not hiding, it's just that I am not necessarily crossing path with me ." Good job brain baby proud of you. I patted myself mentally. Shray gestured me to look back. He was so adminant about getting an answer but now I am answering he's telling me to turn around, told you people these days are going crazy...

Fiddlestick! Advik? What the hell is he doing here? Oh now I get it Why Shray was smirking, Advik was there all this time. Traitor!

Oh god, brain buckle up, get ready we are going for a war. I need your smartness. You know how Advik.... I mean Boss is!

" Necessarily.... Haan?" Advik bore his eyes into mine. Brain .... Answer? We need comebacks now. Brain? Brain? You couldn't keep your thoughts shut for last week and the one time I need your help, you vanished wow! " Earth to Rue" Advik snapped fingers in front of me.

" so you are not avoiding me"

" Mhmm" I hummed.

" right? Then why did you ditch yesterday's party"

" I don't like parties." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I folded my hands in front of my chest proudly. " Fair enough." He shrugged his shoulder mimicking my hand fold.

" Why did you locked yourself in your room?" He maintained eye contact. Advik is so dominant speaking with him face to face itself is a big task but talking while maintaining eye contact is war.

. " Because I was taking shower" Proud of you baby go on, You'll be making me proud brain.

" For 5 hours? " He said with a blank expression. What is it with him? " Sometimes people needs long showers. And anyways I was in the bathtub I lost track of time" Wow Rue! You should have chosen to lie as your profession.

"Rue.... Your flat doesn't have a bathtub" Oooho maybe next time be a little careful while lying. " I was imagining of bathtub, so I took some time to imagine bathtub and then bath. That's why it took a little more time than required" He shook his head in disappointment. Shray snorted at my excuse. Okay maybe you are not that great Rue in lying, but we'll manage.

" I don't wanna ask this because I know you'll give me some lame ass excuse but still I'll ask. Last time when I came to office you went in a random meeting room. Why?" Has he lost his senses? I work here of course I'll be attending meetings. " You see I work here so, I had a meeting that's why I went into meeting room," I said proudly. He took a deep breath to calm himself.
