The Royal Deal

and fuck it up

Shekhawat Office,
New Delhi.
8:50 AM

Exactly ten minutes early Shaina Singhania stood tall in her six inch heels beside her twin brother, dominating his height by an extra one inch this morning.

Shaina squared her shoulder but didn't spare a glance at Siddharth, there was still a cold war going on between two of them and matched stubbornness of the twins held them from talking to eachother even though Siddharth's stubbornness was accompanied by guilt this time.

He anyway hated the silence between the two of them. He was dying to yap her ears out.

"A truce for the next two hours. We do this meeting and the next one keeping our differences apart and kill it. Then you can go back to being an asshole." He suggested and Shaina looked down at him from her peripheral vision and reluctantly nodded

"Two hours. Two meetings. Then we go back to normal." She said walked ahead of him and he rolled his eyes

"These two hours will be our normal." He pointed it out for her and Shaina tossed the copy of negotiations at him

"Since we are doing our normal. I'm nervous." She whispered to him as she tangled their arms. If honestly told, even she hated the eerie silence between two of them but this time she wanted him to approach her and apologize. He knew how sensitive she was about Aryahi yet he did that?

"Me too. These people are crazily powerful and you potentially pissed them off yesterday." Siddharth taunted and Shaina scowled at him

"Because you pissed me off, asswipe." She reminded him and he winced
"Truce. We had a truce. Shut up." He grumbled and they reached the tightly secured gates of the huge building for obvious reasons. The almighty Royals are here.

"Ma'am please step aside for the checking." The male guard requested Shaina and she obliged, a lady came forward to do the checking but a man came racing towards them and crashed into Siddharth

Shaina gasped expecting to witness a perfect new ship but Siddharth was quick to get him off himself and Shaina scoffed. She really wanted to ship her twin brother with this man in brown!

"Let them in, Yuvraaj sir's orders." The guard instantly stepped back and Shaina's eyebrows raised in surprise

"How chivalrous." Her mockery was audible to Siddharth as she used a tone so inaudible that he would've missed it if they weren't standing adjacent to each other

Shaina Singhania.

I felt a sharp nudge in my stomach and I glared down at Siddharth, who thought this little truce would put my wildfire like anger at ease with his efforts like a drop of water. I, however, remained quiet and followed that man in brown inside.

He was a muscular man but a few inches shorter than me, I don't know if that's the same without heels. I guess not. What's with these men around this royal family? All of them are taller than me?

This place was majestically huge and beautifully organised, the lobby had sections divided smartly into the waiting area, the reception and three lifts of which one was at a larger distance than the other two.
