The door of her room clicked shut behind us as Aridhi set the files down on the console, her heels making that sharp clicking sound against the marble floor.
We had barely exchanged a word on the drive back as both of us were still processing Ishir's yes to the deal.
And then, "RUVIT!"
Before I could even register the voice, a six-foot hurricane crashed into me, nearly dislocating my left shoulder.
As if the bandage on my arm ain't enough.
"Dhruv, fucker, watch it." I hissed, half-laughing, half-dying as his arms locked around me in a rib-crushing hug.
"Oops, sorry." He shot back, pulling away just enough to glare at me. "But not so sorry. Because are you fucking kidding me? You got shot, and didn't call your best friend."
I rolled my eyes when he dramatically placed his hand on his chest. "Were you expecting me to find out from Delhi breaking news? What kind of bromance betrayal is this?"
I stifled a huff. "Sorry, I was too busy bleeding out to text you."
Aridhi, who had been standing with her arms crossed, chuckled softly. "Dhruv has a point though. You didn't even let me inform him, Ruvit."
"See? She gets it." Dhruv jabbed a finger at me before turning to Aridhi like she was the judge.
"How do you even handle this idiot? Man can run billion-dollar empires but can't keep his body in check?"
Aridhi's lips curved faintly. "He was your man before being mine. So yeah, you know better."
Nandini, who had been standing quietly behind him with a patient smile, finally chimed in. "Almost married couple propaganda."
That earned a loud snicker from Dhruv, before the ladies hugged each other.
"These two look more like a couple than they will look beside us. Don't you agree, Aridhi?" Nandini asked, smiling as she just imposed gay allegations on me and Dhruv.
Before Aridhi could respond to anything, I smirked and slung my good arm around Aridhi's waist. "But I only want my Ardhangini to be beside me."
Dhruv rolled his eyes so hard it was a miracle they didn't get stuck. "God, spare me your PDA."
"Oh, shut up. You're just jealous." I shot back, pressing a kiss on Aridhi's cheek.
"Jealous?" He gasped dramatically. "Bro, the universe itself sent me Nandini. I don't need to be jealous of you here."
Dhruv pulled Nandini closer, holding her shoulder and pointing at Aridhi. "But yes, I am jealous that this boardroom queen is standing beside my man."
Aridhi's brows arched at that, but instead of commenting, she just tilted her head with an amused laugh, watching our ridiculous exchange.
While Nandini elbowed Dhruv. "That's basically cheating, right in front of me, but I support it."
