Tides of Love

Chapter 14

"Whatever, why does it even matter girl, forget it" I mumble to myself

I grabbed the cheque I had signed a couple hours ago and got up, I was still waddling over like no ones business because I am healing like a turtle, slow as fuck.

I remember the last time I was walking down this hallway I could hear my heels making noise against the floor and now I am barely waddling in sandals, flat sandals.

Getting to his door, I don't knock, instead I turn the handle opening the door, as I walk inside I see him sitting there with someone. His head turns to me and mine turns to the guy sitting there in front of him

"Im sorry I didn't know you had a meeting" I mumble

"Oh no, don't worry about it, we are about done. I will make those changes and get back to you" he says turning to Manik

"perfect, I will look over them and get back to you about the prep as soon as I can" Manik says getting up

They shake hands and I step aside so he could leave. Once he steps out, the door closes behind him and I look at manik, his eyes already on me

Stepping closer I hold onto the edge of the table and place the cheque on his table, he picks it up looking at it for a second. His eyes shot up to mine as anger becomes visible on his face

"What the fuck is this?" He asks

"Money, for the charity you did" I taunt

"Are you fucking kidding me? You are going way too far with this now"

"I'm not"

he takes the cheque and tears it in pieces throwing it in the recycling

"Get out" he says

"It's fine, ill have it directly deposited in your account, thank you for your charity" I mumble turning aorund

"You are taking this and blowing it out of proportion, stop being petty with me"

"Petty? How is this petty? You said it was charity and usually with charity comes good karma. Plus this is for the hospital bills, and other stuff you bought for me" I say turning to him

"You think I need money?" he asks

"It's better I don't keep favours"

"NANDINI YOU ARE FUCKING PISSING ME OFF WITH THIS STUPID SHITT" he yells

My heart races hearing him yell.

when I don't say anything, he walks over to me, his hands grip my arms as he hold me, his eyes seemed a bit red

"I was messing with cabir"

"No, I don't need to hear it. It's best if you and I are just cordial for navya and cabir" I say moving his arm as I walk towards the door

"Put some god damn cream on that foot, it won't heal itself"

"I am not paying you more for this advice"

i did hear hm scoff in anger but fuck that.

I was sitting on navya and Cabir's couch in between them sipping on some coffee cabir made me, we were all talking but my head wasn't here, it was somewhere else.

In my head I was replaying the conversation I had with manik and how he was about to explain what was going on, more like what happened. I had been wondering the whole day if I overreacted but I couldn't figure it out

"Hey where are you lost" navya ask nudging my arm

"Nothing, I was wondering if you think I overreacted" I ask her
