PAYBACK TIME

C H A P T E R - 22

At MK Mansion,

''Rhea are you sure you wanna get married?''Priyanka asked out of the blue. They were gathered in Rhea's room to have a girls day.

''Yes, why? What's the matter?''Rhea asked surprised.

''Did you forget about your dream? Modeling. Besides 21 is a pretty early age if you ask me.'' Priyanka said.

''You Don't know how much I have struggled to demolish Prachi's character in front of everyone. But still Ranbir loves her. So anytime they might get back together. The only way for me to have Ranbir for myself is to marry him. Because, then he'll permanently be mine.'' Rhea said with an evil smirk.

''Woah, you're obsessed with him.''Priyanka chuckled.

''About modeling. Yeah I liked it. But Ranbir is more important for me.''Rhea said.

But unaware to both of them. Someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

''Girls I have reserved a table for you in Elite restaurant. Go have fun.''Alia said.

''Thank bujji. I love you''Rhea replied.

At MK Industries,

''Sir there's a new investor who Is willing to invest in our company.'' Shlok informed Abhi and Vikram.

''Our team researched about that company. It's a very huge and famous company in Europe. They've decided to launch an branch here in Delhi.''He further elaborated. Vikram took the file containing information about the company and went through it.

''AD Industries. I'm surprised. They are a big shot. Why would they want to invest in our company.''Vikram wondered aloud.

''Who's the CEO?''Siddarth who was quite all this while asked.

''Mr.Sunny Singh.''Shlok informed and Abhi was surprised.

''I get it.''Abhi said with a smile. His heart filled with warmth thinking that Sunny is here to help him.

''What?''Vikram asked.

''I know Sunny. I think he is helping  because of me.'' Abhi said overjoyed.

''Are you sure?''Vikram asked perplexed.

''Yes I am. Arrange the meeting.''Abhi said.

''But if we go on with this arrangement. Mr.Singh would get hold of 25% of shares which makes him also a partner.''Sid said.

''It is not a problem. Still we'll be having 60% shares. Besides I know him. He is having good intentions.''Abhi said assuring them.

At Arora Musicals,

''So, how much of the shooting work is over?'' Prachi asked the director.

''Ma'am it's almost over. By today it'll be over. Then we'll have editing work.''The director informed.

''You continue with your work.''Prachi said with a polite smile.

''I'm pleased that you have come here to check upon me.''She heard a husky voice behind her. She rolled her eyes and turned to face him.

''Well Mr.Chauhan you think too highly of yourself. You are the last person I would want to meet right now.'' She said.

''Atleast you want to meet me right? Though it is last.'' He said with a chuckle. Well he was sexy when he laughed.

''If you step aside. I'll leave. You are blocking my way.''She said but his eyes were not focused on her. He was looking st something far away, precisely behind her.

''Do you have a boyfriend?''Yuvaan asked.

''Now you are interested in my love life. Well sorry to say. It's none of your business.''She replied.

''If you say yours I'll tell about mine.''He offered.

''I Don't have one.''She said.

''Now who is interested in love life and all?''He asked cockily.

''Get over yourself. I Don't need to know yours.''She muttered.

''Yeah I know you can get info about me in net.''He replied with a smirk.

''Any ex?''He pondered and she raised her eyebrow.

''A guy is staring at us and I'm sure he's not my fan. He is looking like he'll be glad to rip my throat off. So I thought maybe a jealous boyfriend or ex?''Yuvaan disclosed. Prachi immediately turned to look at that person.

''Ignore him. He's just a friend. But Don't you think it was lame. You could have told me that a guy is staring at us. It seemed like you were hitting on me.''Prachi said with a smirk.

''Maybe is it working?'' He asked looking into her eyes. But she felt as if he was looking into her soul. She averted her eyes immediately. Her mother had taught her to never look away when someone's looking into your eyes. It shows that your strong. But Prachi couldn't look into his eyes. It seemed intimate and she felt vulnerable as if he could read her.

''Mr.Chauhan! The director is calling you for the next scene.'' His assistant informed. Yuvaan cast a last glance her way before walking away. Prachi mentally upbraided herself for looking away.

''What do you want Vihaan?'' Prachi asked. Apparently he was the guy who was staring at her and Santosh.

''What's going on?''He asked and Prachi shrugged as if to say nothing.

''It didn't look like nothing.'' He replied.

''I thought we both were not talking.''She said.

''Look. I'm here to apologize. I was a jerk that day. Things have changed. It's been years since we met and a lot has happened. I'm happy that you are back and I Don't want us to fight over trivial things. So let's talk.''Vihaan said.

''I still didn't hear the special word.''Prachi said.

''I'm SORRY'' He apologised.

''Now we're okay right?'' He asked.

''An apology is not satisfying.''She told him.

''I know you. That's why I'm gonna treat you to lunch.'' Vihaan said.

''But my sch-''

''I've checked your schedule with Leilani. You're free till lunch. You're next meeting us at 4 pm and we have 3 more hours for it.'' He said and dragged her along with him.

''But I'm driving.''Prachi said.

''Sure Madam.''He replied.
