"WELCOME TO ME" He roared.

Smriti flinched at her place.

He stood up and unveiled the picture on that wooden tripod. It was a beautiful picture of Aradhana.

She gasped, "What is this?"

He replied, "Reyansh." With a pause he said, "I tried hating her but see what I've created in these two months."

She again tried to contradict him saying, "Didn't she-"

"Miss. Ahuja, you've been with me for a couple of hours by now. And we were pretending to be love birds, still did I let you touch me?" he asked. As a reply, she shook her head.

He completed saying, "Great! Then if you saw Aradhana doing so in that video, there might have been something from my side, and what is it called?"

Smriti was clueless.

He yelled, "CONSENT."

Listening to his high voice, she again flinched.

He tilted his head, coming to her level, matching the heights, and said, "I hope now you know that she neither seduced me nor I hate her." Lifted his brows and whispered dangerously, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

She shook her head vigorously.

"No?" He hissed, definitely being dangerous now.

She again shook her head.

"Then leave," he ordered. As if on cue, Smriti ran out of the basement as fast as she could.

In the cubicle farm, Aradhana, Sunaina and Vikram were sitting near Aradhana's desk discussing their favorite topic, Reyansh.

"I can't believe you can go to the control room to check upon him," Sunaina exclaimed.

Aradhana was trying to dodge this feeling and said, "Even you know that our data is mainly stored in the recording room and he took her there, so I was just keeping a check. It's nothing." in order to resonate her pseudo-feelings.

It's Nothing.

Nothing Serious... Absolutely nothing.

She was convincing herself.

Nothing...Right ?!

Her trance broke when Vikram pointed out, "I think Rey owns this company, so, isn't he more conscious about data in the recording room?", emphasizing on 'think'.

Aradhana started, "'That I know but-

-but, is everything alright?" Vikram cut her off in the middle with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
