Arjun's Pov

My eyes were burning, I rubbed them, huh... again Shanta Didi left my curtains open, why on earth she can't wake me up, rather she always does something that makes me wake up on my own. From closing the fan to opening the curtains. I lifted myself from bed, wearing just my loose joggers, I seriously don't remember when was the last time I slept fully dressed in my PJs, always something was missing. Well, I have a huge respect for my teenage self for working on building this body with six-pack abs, and my tattoos, I don't regret any one of them being etched on my body.

But what I regret was last night, I was not alone in my bed, I moved my eyes to the glass table, huh...a bottle of the old monk, half-full, again, drinking and sleeping. There is nothing wrong in drinking and sleeping, but... ah... having a one-night stand, sure was. Now, this has happened many times, and no matter how hard I try I can't remember the name of the woman I have slept with.

What was it? Uhmm... Carla, I guess. Fuck it... I will simply go with Sunshine or Darling, what about Sweetheart, but what if this time it's a bitch. Well, most of the women I sleep with are just interested in my status of being a playback singer, a rockstar, who doesn't want to be called a girlfriend of mine, Arjun Kukreja. Half of my fandom consists of fan girls and each one of them has a similar dream and that is to be with me. But has anyone asked me if I wanted to be with them? Never...

I was just hovering over my thoughts when she woke up, damn she is hot, but I would prefer to be with someone who is pretty and smart, not hot and dumb. "Good Morning", she mumbled. Now, seriously I have to get her out before Keshav finds out.

Keshav, my best friend, has told me multiple times to stop drinking, as I tend to do regretful things after that. Sure, he would scold me again if he found out. He says that if I wanted to settle with a good girl then I have to give up on my wicked ways. I agree with him, but whenever I am depressed I tend to drink and then call a random person to clear my mind. I just wanted to share my feelings with them, instead, they end up sharing my bed.

"Hey! Uhh... Good morning, umm... I had an early morning house tour." I gently lifted her by her hands. "As you know we are not that forward in our relationship". She wrapped her arms around my neck. I tried to untangle myself, "I don't want to... reveal my... feelings for you too soon in the media. I hope you get what I am saying. I think it's time for you to go now."

She shushed me, "Yeah, but I am not leaving without a kiss."

Huh... why, why on earth is that the first thing you wanna do in the morning, "Oh! But my breath smells awful in the morning", yeah of course an excuse and a slight insult would work, "I think you should leave.....Uhmm.... I wanna say Carla, but I don't think that's your name or is it?"

"It's KAARNA, how could you forget my name, we had such grand sex last night. I am leaving", putting on her coat and picking up her heels, "Don't you dare to call me."

I took a deep sigh, "That got to do it."

Sakshi's Pov

My eyes were burning. It has been so long since I have been working in front of the screen, I should get my blue lens glasses. The last pair broke and now I have no shield, I am like Captain America from Endgame. I heard a knock on my door. It's Karan, my bad news colleague. I don't understand why but every time he informs me something, it's bad news, he is known as Panoti of the office. Other than that he is a nice guy and hardworking.

"Sakshi, Bandhopadhyay sir is calling you in his office", Karan informed.

Huh, Bandopadhyay sir.... It's better if I don't make any comments regarding him. I was about to ask him what the context was but he left. How rude... I got up from my chair and walked straight to his cabin, I took a deep breath and knocked on the glass door, sticking my head in, "Sir you called for me."

"Yes, Sakshi", he spoke working behind the desktop, "I have got a new project for you, you will be interviewing Arjun Kukreja."

"Arjun Kukreja", my face fell, "That playboy rockstar", I bit my tongue, this was a professional space I couldn't just make any comment I liked.

"You seem to have any problem, Sakshi?"

"No, I was just confirming. Sir, one last question, his interview was at his place right?"

"Yes, the company car will be dropping you and you know very well why I am putting you on this project, I want a realistic publishable article this time."

"Sure sir, won't disappoint you."

I gently closed his cabin door, and took a deep sigh, why he looked so strict on that seat and on top of that an interview of Arjun Kukreja. Oh! I hate that guy so much... He was known to have slept with every single interviewer. I wasn't afraid of him making a move on me rather I was just disgusted.

First, that guy never gives interviews in a professional space, he prefers it at his home. Second, he doesn't come much in front of the cameras, but if it's for modelling, or taking pics with his fans, or paparazzi, he doesn't mind posing for them. Third, every time whenever it's asked who wants to take his interviews, all the girls flood in to get a chance to interview him, basically to sleep with him. With the words of Bab...Bandopadhyay sir, wants a "Realistic Publishable Article". I feel honoured that he knows whom to come to when it's about working professionally.
