Hey !! Its Cupid Calling (Completed) 18+

Chapter 19

Ira POV

The thing about being a facilitator to happening events is that you are never sitting idle. You always have something or the other going on around you. With the USA meet coming up there was lots of work on our heads. 

Starting from preparing the visa letters to taking care of flight, hotel bookings and transport bookings, we have to do everything. The stressful part of it all is handling the logistics and the people in our office with higher demands for better seats, better food etc.

I know I am good at the planning, organizing and executing the things but the main concern I have is doing it all being in the front end. You are the face of everything, you are responsible for everything and you are the person who gets yelled at if something goes wrong.

I was sitting in my seat taking sips of my hot tea, multitasking. The travel consultant was on call with me, I was rechecking all the requirements ensuring that all the bookings happened according to the plan. Once that was done I got up from my seat, taking my lunch bag in my hand.

The thing about the recent developments is that, Arjun no longer intimidates me or makes me uncomfortable. Even yesterday when I spent few hours with him, he never made me uncomfortable. Infact, when Meera was being her usual annoying self, he made sure that he communicated that on her face which shut her up. By the end, they ended up patching up because I was scared if they both might pull each other's hair, thank god for that.

I walked to Arjun's place and he was quickly typing off on his laptop. He looked at me before starting to type again. There was no hello or no nod.

Me: Arjun, lunch ?

Arjun: We dont have to hang out together always do we ? You can have your lunch by yourself for one day right ?

I scowled at him and threw decent curses at him in my mind, turning to walk away. Thank god there were less people in the office owing to the lunch time. I got saved from the embarassment. I went to the cafetaria, heated my food and logged into my kindle to read my novel.

From the corner of the eye I saw Arjun walking in. His eyes scanned the sorroundings before finding me in the corner. I thought he might ignore me but he walked straight towards me. He sat down in front of me with his lunch while I royally ignored him.

Arjun: Ira, I am so sorry, I snapped at you. It was very rude of me.

I continued to flip through my pages when my phone was literally snatched away from me. I sat there shocked that he did that. He switched off the screen without looking and kept it on the side.

Arjun: Please talk to me

I sat there, my hands folded in front of me glaring at him. I saw him gulping in fear and I raised my eyebrows at that. The Arjun is scared of me ?

Arjun: I was in middle of something and I did that. From now on, I will never snap at you

I turned my head away from him when I heard him sigh. I thought he might leave and give up. I thought he would let me be

Arjun: You might throw all your anger at me but please have your food. You dint even have your breakfast.

I realized I have not even opened my box until now. I opened my box and started having my food while he had his tasteless salad and soup.

Me: You want me to forgive you?

Arjun: Yeah

Me: Then take a few spoons of my food

He looked at what I had, it was mixed rice with butter and lots of veggies. He was diet consious and never eats buttery, salty, spicy food. I smirked to myself when he slowly took the spoon from my hand.

He took a few morsels of rice and ate it. He took 3 more spoons like that before he stopped

Arjun: I am not having more than that as you have to eat your food too

Me: Arjun, did you seriously do that ?

Arjun: You think you were dreaming ?

Me: Yes

He slowly flipped my nose and freaking smiled at me when I scowled

Arjun: See it is not a dream 

I looked at him shocked while he was smiling before his expression returned to poker face. 

Arjun: I am sorry for being mean. I have to go.

And just like that he left from the table

What is up with him ?

Why is he behaving like that ?

He is the brand ambassdor for the line, he blows hot and cold

I went back to the work space, I thought he would be working but he was standing by the window looking right at me with his hands in his pockets. I walked up to him and he was about to leave.

I did not yell but I whisper yelled

Me: Arjun, get back here and listen to what I have to say or else I will really embarass you

His footsteps stopped and he turned towards me

Me: What is wrong with you. Why are you being all hot and cold ? One minute you are nice and next minute you are mean.

Arjun: Dont you worry about it Ira, we are just collegues remember? I have always been like that, hot and cold, its you who is asking a lot of questions now or getting hurt on small things.

That annoyed me and riled me up

Me: Fine Mr. Collegue have a great day ahead

Saying that I walked away from him
