52. Sudden assult.

Sofia's pov:

After our last conversation he left my apartment without saying a single word. His behaviour was weird and strange at that moment. Yeah! I know, I lied about not having a crush on him since college, but that wasn't the real problem. Something else was wrong.

The bastard didn't even hug me before leaving. I am craving  for his touch, his hug, the warmth of his embrace, a desperate need of comfort which I can only get from him.

I want him very badly. I want to tie him to me forever and never let him go.
A sharp knock on the door startled me. It was the peon.

"Bella Ma'am is calling you,"
he said.

I nodded and walked towards her cabin.

Reaching her cabin, I knocked. A voice came from inside,
"Come in."
I entered and saw her by the window, kissing Alexander. He had a tight hold on her waist, and she had cupped his face, lost in a passionate kiss. I didn't bother to disturb them and sat on a chair nearby.

Finally, they broke free from their kiss, and Bella
greeted me,
"Good morning, sweetheart."

I greeted back,
"Good morning"

"I didn't know you were a car racer,"
Bella teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Just say you enjoyed the ride." I replied with a smirk.

"Indeed" Bella replied, a playful glint in her eyes.

"By the way," I asked, "Did you call me?"

"I called you."
Alexander said, tucking his hands in his pockets.

"I'm really sorry.." he began, his voice rough with emotion.

"I know I... I overstepped by forcing a hug on you. I crossed a line but it was to make your husband jealous"

"Your sister-in-law came up with this whole thing."

"And I just did it for my brother"

"Alright, alright," I conceded, a playful glint in my eyes. "I forgive you."

Bella let out a low chuckle, a mischievous spark in her eyes.
"Oh, my poor baby"
she teased

Alexander rubbed the back of his neck, a sheepish grin spreading across his face.

Just then, the peon entered.
"Ma'am," he stammered,
"Mr. Oberoi is here, he wants to meet you."

Butterflies erupted in my stomach the moment I heard his name. Thank God.

Bella said, "Yes, I'm coming."

I stood up, my legs suddenly feeling weak, and rushed out of Bella's cabin. I waited outside the room where he was waiting, my heart pounding against my ribs. I was too nervous to face him alone.

Finally, Bella came from behind, asking,
"Girl, are you okay?"
She asked with concern and amusement.

I nodded. Still nervous to speak after knowing he's here.

She entered, and I followed closely behind her. Ansh was sitting on the couch, deeply engrossed in a file. As we entered, he stood up and greeted us, his voice surprisingly cold,
"Good morning."

We took our seats on another couch, right in front of him.

Then he started discussing the deal he signed with Bella, and the whole conversation was about it. He discussed it as if he was never coming back for the deal again. We exchanged some words in the discussions, but he didn't even look at me once.
