His Arranged Wife

Leads

Shridha's pov...

" Hey hello!" I said while reaching out to the reception desk of SHARP EYE and she smiled at me beaming ear to ear.

" Hello ma'am, how can I help you?" She greeted warmly being a good receptionist.
" Is Mrs. Kriplani in the office?" I asked and she narrowed her eyes while checking me out. I was wearing a plain red kurti and leggings, hair tied into a low pony leaving few strands of my hair in the front.
I look normal because I am normal.
" Yes ma'am." She said but her facial expressions stated that she wasn't very satisfied with my look.
" Okay thank you." I said and started heading towards the elevator when she stopped me.
" Sorry ma'am but do you have an appointment?" I raised my brows at her reading the nameplate at left side of shirt.
" Ms. Verma, are you new here?" I asked and ticked a strand of hair before her ear.
" I am not that new. It's been a couple of months since I joined here." She said proudly and I smiled at her inwardly.
" Well, you see Ms. Verma, I don't have an appointment." I admitted and she made the face like " I knew it!" .
" I am sorry ma'am but I cannot let you go upstairs." She said while fulfilling her duty and that made me grin at her.
" Okay. As you say Ms. Receptionist." I said while taking out my phone and heading towards the couch.

I sat on the couch and took out the file I was working on. I was trying to analyse few shortcomings when I saw Keerthi entering the office with a coffee in her hand. She head to the reception and had a little chat when I heard something which made me smile.

" Keerthi, that girl doesn't have an appointment and she wants to see Mrs. Kriplani." The receptionist Ms. Riya Verma informed and that made Keerthi look up from her phone to the face of Ms. Receptionist.
" Which girl?"
" The girl over there. She is not even leaving. Does she think that Ms. Kriplani herself will come to pick her up?" She said and scoffed that made Keerthi look at me and her eyes met mine.
" Do...do you mean h...her?" She pointed her finger at me and Ms. Verma nodded her head.
" Are you out of your mind?" She glared at her and rushed towards me.
" I am so sorry Ms. Saxena. Please forgive her, she is new here. " She came while coming towards me while Ms. Verma had a question mark on her face.
" That's okay, Keerthi." I said while closing the files.
" Please come with me. Why didn't you call me ? I am so sorry to make you wait?" She was continuously apologising and that made me smile at her.
" That's okay. I am impressed by Ms. Verma by the way. Don't scold her after I am gone. She was just doing her job." I said while patting Keerthi's shoulder and she was standing there pressing her lips into a thin line.
" Thank you Ms. Verma for allowing me without an appointment." I said while grinning at her and she too have me a fake smile confused.

Author's pov...

When Shridha headed towards the elevator, Keerthi came to Riya and patted her head.
" What do you think were you doing?" She asked and Riya blinked her eyes a couple of times.
" What did I do wrong? You are reacting as if she is the daughter of Mrs. Kriplani." Riya said while rolling her eyes and that made Keerthi shake her head.
" Much more than that. Listen here. You can stop any person but her. " She warned Riya making her more curious.
" Who is she?"
" She is Shridha Saxena, Mrs. Kriplani's most trusted person and disciple."

Rudra's pov...

"Boss, here are the information you needed." Vikram said while passing me a file and I nodded my head.
" About?"
" Shridha Saxena."
" Okay. " I said and opened the file to find her education and alma mater.
" You were right. She is the person you met fifteen years ago at the resort." I smiled at this. Since the moment I have seen her childhood photo at the shelf, I have been thinking about it.
" I couldn't find many stories about her but ..."
" But..?" I asked and he pressed his lips and rubbed his hands before answering.
" She is the closest person of Ms. Jaya Kriplani, the financial advisor every company wants." He said and my eyes widened. This name is one the most famous name in the financial industry.
" You mean the founder of SHARP EYE?" I asked and he nodded his head.
" She also has something to do with the tragedy happened two years back." He informed me and I hit my lower lip.

This is why she wanted me to know everything about her.
