Wrapping up the rest of my work, I quickly brushed and changed into pyjamas before I walked to the guest room.

I leaned closer to the door but didn't hear anything so either she was a sleep or she wasn't in her room because nandini is never quiet. I knocked but there was no reply so I cracked the door open and found her bed empty

Well I shouldn't' say empty because her stupid teddy bear was on the bed laying like he owns this place, whatever. Right as I was about to step in hr room to see if she was in the bathroom, I heard something in the kitchen

Of course it has to be nandini because this girl can't keep still, she is always flopping around like a fish, and I was right.

"I feel like my last name would look good if it was samthaan, nandini parth samthaan, woahh so nice" she giggles

A feeling of rage mixed with something rushes through my body, see this is what I mean, I don't know why I feel this way

"Ringa ring roses pocket full of poses" she sings

When I step into the kitchen, I see her dancing as she sways her hips holding a spatula and a wooden big spoon, it looked bigger than her arm

"Mind telling me why you are dating around in my kitchen?" I ask

My voice startles her because she was about to throw a hand and by hand I mean she was going to throw the spatula

"Ahhh what is wrong with you, Jesus Christ man" she screams

I smirk leaning my back on the kitchen counter as I look at her

"What are you doing?" I ask

"Jeez let a women breath, uff, I was just killing time, I couldn't sleep" she says

"Why not?"

"Not sure, you wanna see something?" She asks

"No"

she pouts walking closer to me, she leans in a little before she giggles

"I want my soft Manik back, monster Manik go away" she repeats over and over again as if that would do anything

The thing that caught my attention was the fact that she referred to me as hers, she said her Manik

"Nandini it's late, we have a flight to catch in the morning, sleep"

"But I am not sleepy" she whispers following me out of the kitchen

"May I know why?"

"New place, and it's huge, I thought your room in the office is big but no, this house is massive"

"It's barely considered huge"

"If you don't think this is huge than what is? Hahahahah never mind that sounds inappropriate and sexual hahah" she laughs like a mad women

"Woah why is your room so dull" she asks

when I don't answer she makes herself comfortable in the middle of my bed playing with her stupid spatula and wooden spoon. I wonder if she is an adult

"Oh manik I need to discuss that thing with you"

'What thing?"

"Arun mentioned the file being super important, have you looked at it?" She asks referring to the file she gave me earlier today

"No I didn't" I mumble grabbing it from on top of the dresser

I sit beside her going through the file and instantly my mood shifts seeing the name on the file. The one name I despise so much is right there in bold so I know this is going to be some kind of shitty thing

"Also that day when a file was placed on your table, it was your favourite soha pakoda" she mumbles

"That's fine, ill deal with it" I utter continuing to read the file

"Is everything okay?" Her soft voice distracts me from staring at this stupid file

"Mhm what?" I look up at her

"Whats in that file?" She asks

"Nothing that requires your attention"

"You know that only makes me curious right?" She asks pouting at me

"Doesn't matter, not your business is what you need to get in your head"

"I already got that but like it must be bad if you are this bothered about it"

"It is, now sleep" i order before I got up walking to the balcony

The file basically states my father's will, I was not aware of anything of this sort because I was 12 when he passed away in an accident. That's not the part that bothers me, its the fact that I do not know why my mother's name is on there that kills me

Her name being on the document is killing me, it just means she has a part in something, and there is no way in hell she is getting any of my dad's hard earned money

This is just the first part of it all, the papers have his lawyer's number and name, apparently I was supposed to reach out to him when I turned 25 but I didn't know because my mother didn't tell me about this and she is the only other person who knew

"Hey Ryan" I utter on the phone when he picks up

"Yeah man?"

"Can you do me a favour"

"ohh I didn't know you'd ask me to leave my husband so soon" he jokes

"It's serous Ryan"

"You are always serious, learn something from your assistant, that chick is cool"

"Ryan"

"what?"

"I need you to figure out nyonika's whereabouts, and also are you able to email me a copy of the security guard rotation form the past month?"

"You want it right now?"

"By tomorrow is fine"

"Okay so I heard you are going on a trip to Bali with nandini" he was trying to tease

"And?" I ask

"Is this the trip you tell her how much you love her?" he asks

"This is the trip where I will end up firing you" I say

"Oh boy you will not, you love me just like your father did but the point is what is it that you feel about her?"

"Nothing, now go harass your boyfriend, not me"

"Oh I already harassed him earlier"

"Disgusting dude" I cringe a little

"Stop being all homophobic, god manik"

"Haha shut up dude"

"Well you enjoy and I will have that information to you soon"

"Bye"

Slipping the phone in my pocket I took a few deep breaths before walking back in the room
