Khushi stepped into ASR's office, half hiding behind Lavanya.


"Chamkili kya kar rahi ho? Stop this childishness." And against Khushi's protests, pushed her forward. [Chamkili what are you doing?]


ASR looked up at her glaring, remembering Payal's words from yesterday, the taunt echoing in his ears.


"Where are we on the look test?" 


Lavanya placed a file before him. "The clients loved it and have given us the green signal. The alterations are midway and it will be ready well before the deadline."


"Aur tum!" [And you!]


Khushi jerked as he addressed her. "Take this bundle of newspaper to the storeroom." He barked out an order, pointing at a bundle next to his table."


Khushi nodded, rushing forward to get the work done. She tried pulling the bundle, almost falling under the weight.

Arnav cleared his throat when Lavanya tried to help her. "Dekh kya rahi ho? Phata phat yeh kaam niptao aur aaj ke photoshoot ke liye tayariyan karo." He dismissed her and Lavanya with a wave of his hand. [What are you staring at? Quickly get the work done and prep for the photoshoot!]


Anger boiled under Khushi's skin as she picked up the bundle. She was used to lifting around heavy cylinders in her Babuji's shop back in Lucknow, these papers are nothing.


She carried them and hurried down the stairs, grumbling to herself. "Samajh teh kya hain woh apne aap ko? Laad Governor kahi ke! Hum unke yaha naukri karte hain, koi gulaam nahi hai ki hum par hukum chalte rahe. Devi Maiyya ki kasam uss ASR ko toh--" [What does he think of himself? Such a demon! I am an employee here, not a slave that he can order me around. I swear on Devi Maiyya, that ASR is going to --]


"ASR ko kya?" [ASR what?]


Khushi jumped, the papers flying out of her hands as she heard the voice. Arnav stood in front of her, crossed arms and glaring at her.


"Aap, yahan? Kaise itni jaldi--" She looked back at where his office was and back at him, near the storage room. [How are you here? So quick?]


Arnav smirked. "You're too slow. Now quickly gather these and bring the fabrics from inside for the set decor."


Khushi grit her teeth and started collecting the papers that had spread out on the floor, when suddenly an idea struck her.


"Laad---Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada!" She called out, stopping ASR in his tracks.


"What?"


"Which fabrics do you want from the store room?" She asked from inside the storeroom, yelling so he could hear her.


"The new organza ones." ASR replied, his voice fainlty.
