Beautiful Infatuation

Chapter 21

"What...are you doing here?" Sneha asked in complete shock and surprise, as she looked here and there.

"I need to give you something important. So, come out." He said sternly when she clearly didn't obey him.

Sneha would have agreed easily but then, unlike last time, there was no one at her home right now. And, if someone in her locality saw her talking to a random man when no one was home, talks about her character will start bubbling around everywhere. And, she didn't want it.

"What is it?" She asked.

Viraj's grip on his phone tightened when he heard her arguing again. Women were supposed to follow him on the very first go. This was an acknowledged fact for him...no excuses. But, Sneha had the habit of not obeying him...always.

"Didn't I just say it is important? Now, are you coming out or should I come in?" He warned in his strict tone.

It accelerated her heartbeat. If he came in when she was home alone, talks about her character would be more severe.

"No. I am coming out." She said quickly and wore her scarf that hung behind the door.

Coming out of her house, she immediately spotted him outside the main gate, leaning easily on his car with hands inside his pant's pocket.

Viraj waited patiently for her outside. But with each passing moment, his anxiety grew. He hadn't seen her all day. And, the thought of her sight...was making him...excited unknowingly. This is why he didn't ask Gaurav or any of his men to visit her instead of him.

His eyes followed her modest form from the moment she opened the door to the moment she stood in front of him. And, he had to agree that she looked pretty even in that loose top and knee-length skirt with a scarf covering her chest modestly.

'Why didn't he ring the bell as last time?' She wondered as she approached him. He was in his formals which meant he had come here directly from work.

She stood in front of him with narrowed brows and confused eyes. And, he found it cute as always.

"What is it?" She asked, trying to be polite. He noted how she didn't greet him at all. No 'hello' and no 'hi'. He didn't complain though.

He stood to his full length and forwarded two small cards in her direction. She took it in her grip and looked at it.

Business card? She thought when she realized the meaning of it.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" She asked as she turned one around to notice that he had signed it. And not to mention it...it was one hell of an elegant signature. Tomorrow's date was written at the corner.

"Ananya informed me that she has invited four of her friends to the venue tomorrow. The place will be heavily guarded tomorrow. So, to avoid what happened in the restaurant last time, I am giving you my signed business card. If any of my guards attempt to interrogate you, just show them my card and they won't trouble you. One is for you and the other is for your friend...I recall Jyoti was her name." He explained gently.

"Is everyone getting this card?" She asked.

"Yes. Gaurav has gone to her other two friends." He said.

Sneha nodded. So, only Ananya's friends were getting them.

"Tomorrow...No one will harm us, right? If it is so, please let me know...so that... Jyoti and I will stay home." She hesitantly said and for a second, he relaxed. When he said that the place will be heavily guarded, it did generate doubts in her mind.
