Mr. CEO Wants Me!!! (MANAN)

Chapter 17

Manik looked at Nandini who again in this week cooked for him and now, the equation of their relation is definitely changed. Just not officially but definitely emotionally.

He is enjoying this little race that they both have with each other but it's beautiful when she sets the tables for him, when she sits beside him and serves him. When he doesn't enter to a lonely place but rather a place where he can be happy and known.

He enjoys everything when she is beside him. She is one of the most important persons to him who he cares about.

"Manik, I was planning on leaving for Dubai before you since I'll have to first set everything up there with the other secretaries and your P.A James." Nandini said remembering how much work she has now that she is his proper P.A for every work. There is a head P.A who always stays with boss wherever he goes.

"sure, but you have to call me every 2 hours and also answer whenever I call you. Last time when you went there for one day, you didn't spoke to me the whole day." Manik said pouting at her when she squeezed his cheeks making him widen his eyes and moving back from her like a rustled monkey. Nandini laughed and just said 'sorry' which she didn't even mean as she enjoys doing it when he acts cute.

There's a change in behaviour in both as he smiles a bit more, tries a bit more and controls a bit less; for Nandini, she caved under his need of control and getting what he wants at times but she understands him more, what he says and what he doesn't seem better than before, for she enjoys when they make fun of each other and how they see each other now.

She has started feeling important and doesn't care to ask for other's opinions. In the start of the week, when everyone looked at her with fear, she was horrified by the changes in them. Mrs. Briganza who likes to makes everyone's life hell was one of the person who was helping her with everything but then again being the sister and fiancé—which she hasn't accepted yet at all—of the most important person is something to be proud of.

She has learned new things about Cabir and Manik, for example their foodie behaviour. They are extremely respectable personalities until they are home and she is making food for them.

Cabir who usually tries to help her with cooking was actually a big foodie who just wants to eat more than Manik and show off that she loves her brother more than her boyfriend—not official—making Manik as jealous as she could.

Manik enjoys very much whatever she makes making her feel that all those classes for cooking were great for her and Aryaman.

She now only goes to sleep in her home otherwise she is with Manik all time and they have even slept together on a sofa once when she fell asleep watching movie and Manik who is known to take advantage of everything just couldn't control himself and they both woke up with Manik feeling extremely smug but since then she had problems sleeping alone in her bed, in her room, in her apartment which just oozes of loneliness while Aryaman always seems to make her realize that she should move in with Manik Malhotra—the hot man of his one wet dream—his words completely.

"you bastard‼" Manik shouted making Nandini sigh as again the two foodies will be fighting over food as Manik have an apetite of a pig and Cabir wasn't any less.

They both if went to a competition for food, it will be a wonder if the sponsors will have fod left for even to share or gift.

They are outright pigs.

"you know, I'll be a bastard if I let this food go to your stomach. Already taking my sister and now even food." Cabir sneered at Manik who growled at him.

"keep growling, scare my sister away from you." Manik who was ready to pounce on Cabir suddenly sat straight and looked at me saying how he isn't like that, it's the jerk who makes him angry.

Manik enjoys handmade food a lot and she too enjoys making for him but there's still some differences that he isn't able to change for a good example, Cabir and Manik were fighting over food before also but when Manik growled Nandini got scared causing Manik to keep shut around her.

She felt her heart skip another beat as she noticed his thoughtfulness.

"Manik." She said his name sternly to which he gulped and looked at her.

"take the food back from him or else I'll never make food for you again." Nandini said it extremely sternly.

"I am sorry I won't­—wait what? Take the food?" Manik confused looked at her when she moves closer to him and kisses his cheek causing Cabir to shreak very ladylikely and he stood up to pull her away from him wiping Nandini's lips with tissue saying how his little sister needs to be kept safe from the bastard.

"take the food! Leave my sister!" Manik gasped and pulled Nandini to him and pushed the food away from him looking at her as if she is the one he chose over food.

Manik looked at Cabir and shouted "bastard! Stop filling her ears."

"I am just telling the truth! You love food more than her." Cabir said to which Manik closed Nandini's ears and shouted in anger "I love her more than anything, even food."

Nandini felt her cheeks dye in colour red.

"then let me eat it and don't eat anything from the table." Cabir said and went to sit on his chair with a sway and jump in his steps. He finally got his way here. Fucker.

Manik looking like a deflated balloon sat beside her and didn't ate anything causing her to feel extreme pride for she knows he just can't stand not eating and kept her hand on top of his telling him to eat and when Cabir opened his mouth, Nandini shot him a very expressive glare. He kept shut and Manik ate happily.
