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

Chapter 29

*Kanika Pov*

"Kani! I made it!" I sat straight when I heard Anitha's tone as it seems she is crying.

I called her to congratulate her after hearing the news that she signed three commercials from the articles published about her.

"Why are you crying?" I asked in a serious tone and shifted to get down from the bed to ask Vikranth as he must know what happened.

"I am just happy, Kani! I... I was scared that even after getting a chance in this series, I will not be able to prove myself. So, I tried to give more than my best thinking this is the last chance but... but I made it and when I heard your voice, I couldn't control my emotions anymore." I sighed in relief and sat back on the bed with a smile on my face.

"I knew that you will definitely succeed. No one works as hard as you." I whispered and she took a few minutes to calm down.

"Congratulations!" I mumbled and she chuckled thanking me.

"You shouldn't have doubted yourself like this. Vikranth picked you up as his artist and not just anyone else." I pointed out sighing.

"Ooo... is that coming from Vikranth's wife or my friend?" she teased and I rolled my eyes while she laughed at my silence.

"I know he is good at what he does but he never did business relating to agency or even entertainment related. So, he could have gone wrong too." She pointed out.

"Maybe others but not him. He must have thought about this business plan for many months and even planned everything while thinking of every wrong thing that could happen before getting into this." I explained and she didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"Hello?" I frowned thinking the call got cut but it isn't.

"I was just teasing you earlier but now I don't know what to say after listening to such praises about my boss from you." She mumbled when I called her name.

"Those are not praises but just the truth." I pointed out.

"Again! Wow! I never thought my friend would think highly of someone other than me. I am suddenly jealous of my own boss." I chuckled hearing her words.

"Should I cut the call?" I warned her and she laughed hearing that.

"Even I agree with you on his business capability but I feel he is weird in a way. Like his EQ is not normal at all." She mumbled after a few seconds.

"Do you think I am also not normal?" I asked and she immediately rejected those words.

"But I know that I don't seem normal to many. However, because you know me and my past, you understand me. We could say the same for him. Everyone has a story and he must have one too." I pointed out.

Must? No! He definitely has a story but the point is, I need not be concerned to know about it and I am not keen on knowing about it also.

If I find out then I am not sure whether I will let it affect the way I react to his behavior which would make him go mad and then cut my money. I shook my head deciding to not even think about his past.

"Fine! I understand your instinct of protecting your husband. So, how is your course going on or are you completely lost in your marriage that you are ignoring your goal?" She teased while I stayed silent hearing those words.

"Okay!" I mumbled not knowing how to tell her but I want to talk to her about the new plans.

"What happened to you? You seem to be lost. Did something happen?" I closed my eyes hearing those words.
