new life

(new life) part 9

The  swing of opening door caught her attention. 

Picking up a stash of paper bundles,Khushi averted her glance at door.

Already  half past to nine, Malik corporates headquarters almost deserted, there's technical team and high end security teams residing twenty four into seven. And they probably won't disturb her. And she's not expecting any visitors either.

Khushi lifted her eyes. A very unexpected guest. An intruder.

Arnav Singh Raizada.

Inwardly putting  file on table, she gawked. He was  calmly  striding towards her.

" what's wrong...?"

Leaning on easy chair she dived back to  table,this is her personal office,here nobody bother her,not even her secretary. 

  closing her netbook Khushi shoot him a confusedlook, Arnav  is not a regular visitor. He made no fuss,pulling a chair   opposite to her he sat comfortable.

" hi.."

Rolling his eyes, Arnav  sarcastically introduced himself. With a matching gesture Khushi glared him.

" I'm buying you dinner..I already texted you..."

He said while gazing at his watch. He wanted to talk her.  About many topics especially about Aman and Lavanya.

" I thought it was  some promotion ad.."

Zipping her office bag, she went to old files rack, Rummaging through it,she found many of them are useless to her. It's been two months, she's working like donkey in this small office room. Malik corporates is a giant MNC,it has complicated working system.

" you can play dumb but you're still bound by us."

Folding his shirt sleeves upto forearms Arnav reminded. He's straight from AR,he does have special privilege  to enter this building.

" I don't understand..what's your problem Arnav..?"

Irritated, Khushi stared him hot. Arnav is acting weird. After Akash and Payals engagement he's out of order. She skipped engagement ceremony because she was flying to Oslo to meet her father.  He was honoured with some high level award,and he asked her to be on his side. It was her call to leave.

But certain raizada Irritated with her actions as if she had  damaged their honour.

" my problem is you...don't you get that.."

  massaging her neck,Khushi  went to fetch another photocopy She's damn tired,and this work load is killing ,and here another problem called Arnav Singh Raizada.

" don't be...we ended everything when I left Delhi for God's sake.."

Arnav loosened his shirt tie. Khushi looks beautiful even with tiredness.  Her hair set on top-knot,usual sporty style dress code and  above all infamous stubborn attitude .

Ankle length jeans, black  top and sleeveless jacket. A leather boots which complete her rebellious streak.

Khushi Gupta still lives in her  photographers life.

In all conversation they'd had since she comes back from her exile made them edgy with frustration. It was either disappoimenting or simply argumentative.

" I never said it ended...you choose to trust nk..you could have comes to me..."

Angry growl roughned his posture. Arnav was focusing on her.  blatantly avoiding his presence she's busy with photocopy.
