His Arranged Wife

In his scent

Shridha's pov...

We both were shocked when Shiv asked about me but then Rudra smirked and I knew something very mischievous was running inside his brain. I just hope he won't say something which will make me die in embarrassment.

" Yes, we are discussing our wedding." He answered all of a sudden , making me glare at him and he winked at me. Shiv too joined as he said.

" Interesting. Then I should just go down and let Saxena family know that you guys have already met and discussed everything." 

" Don't you dare, Shiv. I will stop sending you the gifts if you tell them anything." I said while leaning towards the phone to get heard and saw Rudra smiling. 

" Wow! Till now only Bhai was giving me the warnings but now you also have joined his team."

" We were always a team, stupid. Are you jealous, little brother?" Rudra asked . 

" Here my dad wants me to join the company not to get a girlfriend. Do something, bhai. " He pleaded and I looked at Rudra who nodded his head.

" Okay, I will have a chat with dad later." He said before hanging up and he held my hand.

" Come, let me have a look at your hand." He brought me inside and the warmth of the Air conditioner greeted me making me realize it was freezing outside. 

He made me sit on the couch while headed inside the bedroom and came back with the first aid kit. He sat on the table while taking my hands in his. His eyes were fixated at the black throne which pricked my skin while I was looking at him. His hair was sleek black and messy unlike the time he had met me. I bit my lips as my gaze traveled to his nose and then the lips which were busy blowing on my hand. 

Pricking doesn't hurt or maybe I am already so used to it that it doesn't affect me but looking at him, taking care of me makes me yearn for more. The last time when he scolded me for spraining my ankle and then this time for pricking my palm, instead of getting mad at him , I feel so blessed and happy. 

" I am scolding you, Shri. Why are you smiling?" His words broke my reverie and I looked at him in his eyes and suddenly felt embarrassed. He caught me off guard as a smirk made its way to his lips.

" Rudy, will you always take care of me like this?" I didn't know how I asked but I did.

" Do you like being taken care of?" 

" I do."

" Then I will. Forever." He promised and I tried to hold back my smile.

His phone started ringing and he rose up from the table and answered the call.

" I knew it. " He said and he seemed worried. I leaned to have a look at his facial expressions and he turned towards me and my eyes widened.

" Can you analyze the statements?" His question made me stare at him as I didn't know whether he was asking me or talking over the phone yet I nodded my head and he nodded in return before turning back.

" Bring the files over. " He said before hanging up and I was waiting for an explanation.

" Shridha, there have been some issues with the company lately. The procurement of the fund is successful but the allocation seems off. The financial analyst checked it thrice but he couldn't find any problem with it but I feel there is mismanagement regarding this. I will need your help to verify the statements." He said while sitting beside me and I just stared at him with concern filled in my eyes.

" Aren't you afraid that I may leak the confidential data of your company?" I asked and he smiled.

" I trust you and however the statements are released publicly every year. Yes, there is confidential information but as I told you earlier. I trust you."

I don't know how long we both sat in the living room. I was sitting on the couch with my laptop on the table and the files spread over . Rudra was sitting on the floor with his laptop and a few files he needed to cross check. I helped him check the records and also find the missing ones. There were many adjustments made but there were no vouchers available to support the entries. 

" It's impossible that your analyst couldn't find the mistakes." I said while  turning my laptop towards him and he looked up at me. 

" Do you trust your financial analyst?" And this question made him shake his head.

" It is not about trust, it's about responsibility. I don't trust those employees who can do anything for some money." He said while taking a brief look on the computer screen and I sighed.

" If you don't trust them, how are you going to work with them?" 

" Shridha, business is not being friendly. Business is all about making money and profits. If you care about the sentiments, it won't work. " He said and I nodded my head. Although I disagree with his statement, I think it's not the proper time to keep my point as we worked for some more hours and I yawned.

" Let's go out to have dinner." He said while shutting his laptop and I checked the time. 9 p.m.

" Let me prepare something here."

" Let's go out, Shri. " He said while shutting my laptop and holding my wrist making me stand up.

" I am trying to save money for you. It's a tough time." I said and he chuckled deeply, making me smile at him.

" Don't worry. Your fiance can afford having a meal with you." He said while pushing me towards the bedroom to get changed.

I picked up a knitted sweater and paired it up with jeans then grabbed the boots, combed my hair and after grabbing the overcoat, I came out. He was not yet ready so I came to the guest room to check on him to find him combing his hair. I leaned against the frame of the door and stared at him. He sprayed the perfume and then looked at me while wearing his Rolex limited watch. 

He definitely can't afford my lifetime meals but that doesn't mean that I am going to let him spend thoughtlessly. 

" Come here." He called and I walked inside while keeping my phone in the pocket of my coat. He made me stand in front of him and I looked at our reflection. We were standing in front of the mirror and it felt like observing ourselves in the photo frame. Although my boots added up to my height, I was shorter than him. My head reached his chest and he smiled at me through the mirror. 

" What's in your mind, mister?" I asked and he just shook his head with a smirk on his lips. He took out the perfume bottle and sprayed it at the side of my neck just below my ear.

" What are you doing? I was already wearing perfume. " I said while turning towards him and he caged me between the mirror and his hard body. 

" I want you to get drenched in my scent."
