Chapter-2 ( Arjun's POV )

Arjun sat on the bar stool, completely haggard with all the work since morning, the bar 'Compel', was his hang out with the man he considers as close to a friend. It was well past eleven at the night and the guy was still way late than usual.

Arjun looked at his watch, he threw down the glass of whisky on the rocks. He shook his head, the effect of it was less, his stressed-out mind did not dim the zooming figures and cost of products.

What the hell is this guy? Arjun muttered a curse under his breath and stood up ready to leave but just then he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Couldn't have waited more, could you?" He heard a familiar annoying voice.

Arjun turned and gave his friend a flat look.

"I would have waited more, but I thought, maybe you were busy with a different woman each hour?" He snickered and sat back down on the bar stool.

Neil loosened his tie and grinned magnanimously at his friend. He sat perched beside him.

"You sound like my pissed-off girlfriend, wanna fill in her space?" He asked, sounding amused thoroughly.

Arjun stared at Neil for about a minute. His friend was a typical arrogant male and a certified Casanova but he sometimes wondered at his pretty sounding to hilarious jokes, which were not funny most of the time, instead they were cynical. Neil Gordon was a cynical man. He was a business tycoon like Arjun, but he was an intelligent millionaire banker and Arjun had not much thorough knowledge or interest in numbers.
Neil was also the financial advisor of AAM Company, so he was pretty much a family to Arjun.

Arjun ordered another round of whisky.

"I sometimes wonder at your s*xuality, Neil. Maybe, you should get checked by a shrink. He or she would help you about with the weird jokes you crack or maybe understand the strange humour behind it." He muttered dryly and smiled an unseeing across his long-time friend.

Neil in turn shook his head still smiling, he sipped his whisky.

"I need my partner in crime when checking up by the shrink. You will be the perfect example of a cured soul. From gay males to straight ones. How is the tagline?" He counterattacked.

Arjun was done having this bizarre conversation. He had more important things in life than dealing with this.

"I don't think I will be comfortable from now on with you in future. Count me out. I'm done hanging with you." He said wryly, looking around at the buzz of the bar, his grey coat was on the back of the chair; he had folded his shirt sleeves a little.

Neil laughed low in his throat, sipping his whisky too.

"Oh, don't be such a sore bear." His sharp lazy gaze went to a group of women who were smiling their way from across the bar, Neil smiled back.
