Rihaan walked into Ekansh's office with his expression questioning.
"What's this proof you wanted to show me?" Rihaan asked.
Ekansh gestured to the laptop screen.
A grainy video played, showing Samyuktika and Ekansh's father in a cozy conversation. They sat in a luxurious living room, smiling and laughing together.
Rihaan's brow furrowed. "What's going on?"
Ekansh's voice was laced with bitterness. "No audio, but look at their body language."
Rihaan scrutinized the video. Samyuktika's hands gestured animatedly, and Ekansh's father leaned in, his eyes locked on hers.
"This could be innocent," Rihaan suggested.
Ekansh shook his head. "You don't know my father. He's calculating, always. And Samyuktika... she's a master manipulator."
Rihaan's expression turned thoughtful. "Maybe we should investigate further."
Ekansh nodded. "Already on it."
Samyuktika wandered through the grand halls, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor. The mansion's opulence dazzled her, but her mind lingered on Ekansh's harsh actions.
That plate could have hit me, she thought, a shiver running down her spine.
As she turned a corner, a stunning chandelier caught her attention. Crystal droplets refracted light, casting rainbow hues across the walls.
"Wow," she breathed.
A soft voice interrupted her reverie.
"Welcome, Ms. Rai. I'm Tulip, the housekeeper."
Samyuktika turned to face a warm-smiling woman.
"Tulip, nice to meet you," she said, forcing a smile.
Tulip's eyes sparkled. "Of course, ma'am. Would you like a tour?"
Samyuktika nodded, eager to distract herself from Ekansh's behavior.
As Tulip led her through the mansion, Samyuktika's thoughts drifted back to Ekansh.
Why did he react so harshly? What did I do?
Tulip pointed out a majestic library, and Samyuktika's eyes widened.
"This is incredible."
Tulip smiled. "Mr. Ekansh's favorite room."
Samyuktika's heart skipped a beat.
Samyuktika's hand hovered over the door handle, eager to explore the majestic library. But just as she was about to enter, Tulip's gentle touch on her arm halted her.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Rai," Tulip said, her voice firm but polite. "This is the personal room of Ekansh sir. No one is allowed to enter."
Samyuktika's curiosity piqued. "What's inside?"
Tulip's expression turned guarded. "I'm not at liberty to disclose that information, ma'am."
Samyuktika's eyes narrowed. "Is this where Ekansh keeps his secrets?"
Tulip's face remained neutral, but a flicker in her eyes betrayed her unease.
"I only follow Mr. Ekansh's instructions, ma'am," Tulip replied.
Samyuktika's mind raced. What could Ekansh be hiding?
Suddenly, a voice echoed from down the hallway.
"Tulip, is everything alright?"
Ekansh's appearance made Samyuktika's heart skip a beat.
Tulip curtsied. "Yes, sir. Ms. Rai was just about to continue the tour."
