All the girls sat around Nandini away from the building where the construction was taking place. They didn't stopped teasing Nandini whose face was flustered and was praying to God for Manik's arrival.

Her mind wandered off when Manik warned her but she didn't listen to him and now she bear their teasing. She tried glaring them but it seams it didn't have any effect on them like Manik's glare did.

Her trance was broke by a voice that made everyone quiet and her body shuddered. Turning her head she looks at Manik who dressed in office attire with his hands shoved in his pocket and a stern look on his face. She found him really hot in that moment.

The way he walked towards them made him so hot. She couldn't blink her eyes and felt her own burning sensation running down her body. Her eyes met his who smirks in return and she immediately looked away getting caught by him and bites her lips.

He chuckles and smirks when he noticed his not innocent fiancée gawking him without blinking her eyes. His own cheeks starts heats up. He shakes his head and chucking his thoughts way made his way towards them and found the girls teasing Nandini.

Alya : hello Manik. I didn't thought you would make it. I mean it seems your meeting is so important.

Manik rolls his eyes and glaring Alya sat next to Mukti while pecking her head softly. His eyes went to Nandini who smiles at him. He returns the smile.

Manik :diva queen you better think before speaking to me. Never underestimated the power of Manik Malthora. He never backs down from his words.

He smirks staring at Alya who rolls her eyes and cursed him under breath. He chuckles and looks at his sister who leans against on his shoulder resting her head on his head. He smiles and caressed her head softly.

Manik : what happened to my evil sister? I didn't thought she will get tired this easy. You have been sleeping whole day and still sleeping.

Mukti raised her head up and slapping his shoulder moves to Nandini and sits beside her putting her head on Nandini's shoulder and smirks looking at Manik who didn't like the way Nandini giving all her attention to Mukti and sparing glance at him.

He smiles and stood up greeting Ishita and Neyoinka who made their way at him. He hugs Neyoinka and kissed her cheek. Neyoinka smiles at him and ruffles his hair softly making him sulk.

He broke the hug and looks at his mother who looked concerned seeing her son being so drained out from the work. She cups his face and caressed it.

Neyoinka: how did the meeting go? Did you have anything to eat? Why do you tire yourself Manik?

Manik : mom! Please stop scolding me like a child. I'm grown up man now. Meeting went very well. I got the deal like always. And before you start lashing out on me about skipping my meals then I'm sorry beforehand. I didn't feel like eating and I was getting late too. I have another meeting scheduled during 3. I will have something to eat before that.

Neyoinka shook her head at Manik careless and glances at Nandini who looked worried seeing Manik. She smiles seeing Nandini's concern and knew Nandini is only the one who can bring him on right path. She had all the beliefs about them.

Manik didn't wanted to get scolded by his mother about same topic and thought escaping from this. He looks at Nandini who worried staring him. He blinks his eyes at her assuring her then roams his eyes around the place and thought of checking the company progress. He calls Nandini out softly.

Manik : mom! We will go and check on the progress of the project. We will be right back.

Neyoinka nodded her head and looks at them who looks at each other then moves forward to see the building. Their shoulder brushed against each other as they walked slowly through the corridor.
