MY HEART WANTS YOU

CHAPTER 1

PRITHVI POV

Running a growing business is not easy. As much as I'm excited about this club getting new patrons every day, I can't exclude the fact that with great business comes big responsibilities.

Shuffling around my desk I try to find the documents I need to dispatch by today itself.

"Fuck man!" I mutter when my pen stand wobbles, knocking over the glass of water and soaking my desk.

I hastily grab my papers and yell for someone.

Jerry barges into the room hurriedly.

"What is it?" He looks around with his gun in his hand.

"This!" I glare at my table.

"You idiot, I thought someone just..." I look at him to find him glaring at me.

I roll my eyes at him and ask him to help me.

"Woah! This isn't my work!" He put up his hands in the air and slowly backed out of the door.

I curse myself while soaking the water with a piece of tablecloth for employing friends who don't even respect me.

When the water somewhat dries, I notice the time and realize it's almost opening time.

I leave my cabin to go to the employees' area at the back of the club.

When I see employees bustling in, I stand aside and let them through.

My roaming gaze lands on her. She's smiling at Zoya. I get so caught up in her smile that I don't realize when she nears me, causing us to bump.

I glance at her and see her smile morph into a frown.

I don't know why I said that but my agitation made me speak, "I would like it if my employees would know how and where to walk,"

When I see her looking down with shame, I feel guilty. But now I can't do anything because she already stepped away from me.

So I do what I intended to do before.

I clap my hands and gain everyone's attention to make an announcement.

I knew when they hear that a celebrity is coming to the club, they would be excited and they were.

I depart from there to the front of the club to talk to my security team.

"You know what to do, but keep in mind that it is going to be crazy. I need men at every nook." I instruct them and after a bit of discussion. I leave to check the private lounge area.

Ascending the stairs I notice her talking to Josh at the bar. She's laughing at something he's saying.

She has a beautiful smile. I have seen her smile here and there but never the one that reaches her eyes.

"Hey, boss man," my attention diverts to the loud woman standing at the edge of the rail looking down at me.

"Zoya!" I nod in greeting.

"So who's the big celebrity?" She asks as I climb the remaining steps.

"You know some Singer," I reply vaguely knowing it will agitate her.

"What singer Duffus?" She grits out.

"I'm your boss!" I grunt looking around to see if anyone just saw us.

"Then don't irritate me!" She huffs.

I roll my eyes at her and she whacks me.

"Woman!" I hiss at her.
