*Raj Pov*

I sighed standing at the drinks feeling bored and also disappointed that I can't spend this valentine's day with my wife.

I planned so much to surprise her at the company party but had to cancel everything because the party got Preponed.

I know this is not Usha's mistake but I had to scold her as already a few board members who want to fight for the power in the company is trying to hint at every meeting on how it is not good to have the wife of the rival company's CEO as my secretary.

What do they know about how efficient she is? And that compliment is not just because she is my friend.

I started talking to the guests as this is not just a casual party but this is to show the progress of my company and I found Usha running here and there in a hurry.

Why is she hurrying like that? Everything is going fine and even if something goes wrong, then it can be corrected and everything need not be perfect to not leave a chance for a single error.

She already tired herself to prepone this and now I am worried she will fall sick and Abhay will kill me.

Then I found her suddenly walking out of the hall and before I could call her, another guest called me over.

After some time when I was about to take a glass from the table, someone passed it to me saying, "I have been staring at you all night. Want to take this party somewhere else?"

I smiled hearing those words and turned to see my wife smiling at me. I asked her how it was possible to come here and she said it is because of Usha.

I looked around saying, "Let me thank her."

"Wait! I am finally here and instead of spending time with me, you want to search for your secretary?" She asked frowning and I stared at her in silence.

Does she really think I don't know her at all? This kind of behavior is definitely when she is hiding something from me.

And as I suddenly couldn't find the person who was running here and there, I realized they both are involved in this.

I nodded before staying with her deciding to let it be for now. I will have a word with her tomorrow for sure.

When I was looking around to call for a waiter as her glass needs to be filled, I found a man looking around frantically as if searching for someone.

I continued to stare at him frowning and he found me staring at him which caused him to pause.

He tried to act casual but I already realized who is it and walked towards him with my wife following me.

"Abhay? What are you doing here?" I asked and he sighed removing his mask.

"I want to meet Usha. Where is she?" He asked and I found it funny that she went there while he came here.

I didn't say anything and my dear wife immediately replied to his question in a hurry to confirm my suspicion.

"She must be busy with some work. Go and search for her." She replied in an assured tone.

"She really didn't leave the party? Why is her phone switched off?" Abha asked frowning at her and I stayed silent to enjoy her flustered face.

"Why would I lie? Have you ever seen me lying? And why are you so concerned? She made all the arrangements and even helped me when I asked her to book tickets for me somehow as I couldn't find any vacant ones. How can you be mad at her? Let her enjoy the party." She scolded Abhay and asked me to fill her glass as I didn't get to call the waiter.
