I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie, setting my hair, and taking my sweet time-because I knew she was waiting, Sitting on the bed, tapping her foot, looking at her watch every few seconds.

Impatient.

I smirked, pretending not to notice. Wearing my wristwatch, spraying perfume, fixing my cufflinks-every movement slower than necessary.

I finally turned to leave when her voice stopped me.

"Suniye..." (Listen)

I bit back a smile.

"Kahiye," I said, turning around.

She rubbed her neck, touched her nose-nervous. Then, looking up, she met my gaze and opened her fist.

A small silver earring sat in her palm.

The same one I accidentally broke last night.

I blinked, and before I could say anything, she reminded me- "You told me you would buy me the same earring."

I stared at her, caught off guard. This early in the morning?

"I... I'm getting late," I tried, picking up my phone.

Her lips parted, eyes narrowing. "Oh. So now you're getting late?" She crossed her arms. "Last night, you weren't in a hurry to break it, but today, you're suddenly running out of time?"

I exhaled. "It's just an earring-"

Her mouth fell open. "Just an earring?"

"You promised to replace it, Mr. Rajvanshi. And if I don't get my earring today, I swear, I'll-"

"You'll what?" I raised a brow, amused.

Then I'll go and complain to Papa!"

I stopped.

Slowly, I turned back to her, narrowing my eyes. "You wouldn't."

She smirked. "Oh, I would."

I crossed my arms. "You're seriously going to tell Dad that I broke your two-hundred-rupee earring?"

"Yes," she said without hesitation. "And I'll tell him you're refusing to fix it. Do you know what will happen next?"

I clenched my jaw. "What?"
