BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED WIFE ①

18. Wierd Behavior

The next day, since shehnaaz didn't have to go to college she slept a little extra. She had to go to the fertility clinic at 10:00 a.m. All of a sudden she remembered the message that Sidharth had sent across at night. He had mentioned in the message that,

"I could come to the hostel to pick you up if you want."

'As I was angry at him, I did not reply to his message. But what if he would come to the hostel for real? Oh no... I don't want people to see him around my hostel. Obviously not when I have come to know about his real identity. He is a celebrity and people would recognize him easily if they saw him around the hostel. He should not come here, not at all,' Shehnaaz thought to herself.

Shehnaaz picked up her phone and replied to the message that Sidharth had sent last night.

Mr. Shukla , you don't need to come and pick me up at the hostel. I will be there at the clinic on time."

After she sent the message, Shehnaaz glanced at the screen and noticed the time. It was 7 in the morning. Shehnaaz took it as an opportunity to sleep a little more. She snuggled inside the blanket and closed her eyes to doze off again. After a short while, when she woke up... Her gaze widened when she realized that it was already 9:30 am. She got out of the bed in a hurry and exclaimed, "Oh God... I didn't realize. It's already late. Now I would have to get ready and leave as soon as possible. That rude and arrogant Mr. Shukla would yell at me if I reached the clinic late."

Shehnaaz imitated Sidharth and acted how he would react. "Miss Shehnaaz... I don't like people who get late."

Shehnaaz rushed into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She took a quick shower and got ready in a few minutes.

Shehnaaz's hand still had swelled as she had injured herself the previous day. She applied an ointment onto the affected area. It was quite difficult for Shehnaaz to tie up the crepe bandage. After much struggles and difficulties, Shehnaaz finally succeeded in tying the bandage and left the dorm. She did not have a minute to stop at the cafeteria and take her morning tea.

Shehnaaz took a cab from outside the hostel and went to the clinic. She glanced at her wristwatch and realised that it was 9:55 a.m. She told the driver to drive the car fast as she was getting late. Shehnaaz was on her way when she had the thought,

'Oh God...I am sure. I will be late. I hope that the arrogant Mr. Shukla doesn't make it on time either. God, please make him get stuck in traffic or at some meeting so that he does not get there on time.'

She was still on her way and kept on looking at her watch to see if she would be able to make it to the clinic on time.

Finally, she reached the place at 10:15 am. The first thing that she did, upon reaching the clinic was to check around in the parking lot to see if sidharth had reached. She did not see his car in the parking area. She did not face any problem in locating his
car amid all the cars because Sidharth's Mercedes could be identified from a distance.
She sighed in relief when she did not find his car there.

Shehnaaz walked inside and inquired at the reception. She questioned the receptionist about her reports. The recepti- onist informed her that the medical reports were with Dr. Swati and that Shehnaaz would have to collect the reports from her cabin.

Since shehnaaz had not seen Sidharth's car in the parking area, she concluded that he had not come to the clinic yet. She thought of waiting for him in the waiting area. She thought that they would go to the doctor together and collect the reports.

She had been waiting for the past 15 minutes but did not see Sidharth arrive. She had now begun to lose her temper.

He ordered me to reach the clinic at 10:00 a.m., but he could not make it on time. It's already 10:30 and he is nowhere to be found. " Shehnaaz mumbled to herself.
