Who is he?" I had a turmoil of thoughts suddenly. Someone grabbed my arms and dragged me out before anything could become clear. The person brought me into a room and pinned me against the wall. "Argh, it hurts! I'm not a fictional character," I protested.
She slowly opened her eyes and immediately widened them upon seeing Ved with his furious dark eyes, piercing her soul.
"What the hell were you doing there?" Ved spoke sternly.
"I-I was looking for the storage room," Rooh replied shakily.
"And you ended up somewhere you shouldn't have.....Dare you go there again," Ved warned her.
"I'm sorry, I won't.....It's hurting, please leave me," Rooh pleaded. Ved realized his grip on her and immediately let go, turning his face away. Tears formed in Rooh's eyes. This wasn't his usual behavior, but this time it seemed even more intense.
"Don't come near that room again, did you get it?" Ved asked, and Rooh nodded quickly.
"But I think I've seen that man somewhere," Rooh continued. Ved turned his gaze immediately to her.
"What do you mean?" He walked closer to her.
"Yeah, I think I have seen that man somewhere. Even when I saw his photo on a poster in the cafe with your grandfather," Rooh replied.
"He is my elder brother, Nishant," Ved rolled his eyes, and Rooh clapped once.
"So he is Nishant," Rooh said excitedly. Ved scoffed.
"You know him?" Ved asked, pulling up another question.
"No, I mean people in the office really appreciate him for his work. I heard he was working as a marketing manager before becoming the CEO. They were even saying Ved Maheshwari planned his murder and took over his position," Rooh narrated the whole story dramatically. Just a moment ago, tears were almost streaming from her eyes.
"Do you believe them?" Ved was hurt somewhere, not because they were true, but because they were coming out of her mouth.
"No, they aren't my fufa ji or taau ji. Even if they are, I won't. Joking with you doesn't mean I disown or disrespect you," Rooh said. Ved chuckled.
"I didn't get it," Ved said, and Rooh took a step closer, causing him to move back.
"I have seen you working late, canceling deals not because they were benefiting you less, but because they were causing problems for your employees. They don't know the backstory, but I do. I've seen it," Rooh assured him, patting him on the shoulder. He glared at her hand, then her face, which was holding a smile. Rooh realized her mistake and immediately jerked her hand back and ran away, stomping the door. Ved let out a small laugh at her clumsiness.
♡ "Do it fast, we have to complete this today itself,"
"Yes, boss," Jorge replied.
"Jorge, well done. Just keep an eye on them, okay?"
