Shridha's pov...
" Why the hell were you guys knocking like crazy people?" Anushka complained in an annoyed tone and I just glared at her .
" Do you know what time it is right now?" I asked and she took a deep breath before leaning against the door.
" This is the problem with you, Shridha. You never answer a question but retort it with another question." She said and I rolled my eyes.
" What has gotten into you these days, Anu. You were never like this." Bhavya said while keeping her phone inside her pocket and Anushka smirked.
" You are just her tail. Can you just stop and look at yourself? Do you have a life?" The words from Anushka's mouth were not worth entertaining hence I walked inside without her permission.
" I am here to get the presentation. Mail it to me as soon as possible. " I said while looking for her laptop and she stopped my hand the moment I leaned down to take it from the couch.
" What's the problem, Shridha? Be polite. You cannot just touch someone's things without their permission. " Her words might be right but the time wasn't.
" The program is starting within fifteen minutes. I don't have time to argue. Let's talk after the program, okay?" I said and she rolled her eyes.
" Anushka, please get ready. Let's go. We are already late today too." Bhavya said and Anushka stood silent for sometime.
" What's wrong?" I asked.
" I didn't make the slides." Here she dropped the bomb and my eyes widened. The apologetic look on her face was the evidence that I heard it right.
" What were you doing the whole night?" Bhavya asked.
" I had a headache and I slept." She said and I could see the guilt in her eyes and I inhaled a long breath before exhaling.
" I will manage everything. We are waiting for you at the lobby. You have ten minutes to get ready." I said while grabbing Bhavya's hands and walking out of the room.
" What the hell are you doing?" Bhavya asked when she ran out of patience and I just dragged her towards the elevator.
" I cannot risk everything just because of a fight." I said while punching the buttons and I waited till the elevator door opened. We came to the lobby and I sat on the couch taking my laptop out.
" Call Vibhanshu." I said and Bhavya looked perplexed.
" He has the photographs of yesterday's event. Call him right now." I said while quickly writing the next slide .
Within two minutes, Vibhansh was in the lobby sitting beside me and helping me with the slides.
" You should have checked whether that girl had completed her task or not before going to sleep last night." He said while quickly working on the keys and I kept my mouth shut.
How could I tell him that I trust one of my best friends too blindly? I thought that she would get it done as it was only a matter of a few slides. I slept then woke up with anxiety and again slept in.
Earlier I was right. I don't trust anyone with the task hence I complete it on my own but now I would like to have an one and one conversation with Anushka and want to what and where it went wrong?
" Shridha, your hair is disturbing me." He said and I flinched at his sudden voice but then pulled my hair to a side away from him.
Anushka came to the lobby and we headed towards the venue. The program went well but it was extended due to few last minute arrangements.
