Virat stared into her coffee brown eyes, trying to decipher all that she was thinking or feeling.
But, he couldn’t possibly read into her before drowning himself into a round of observation of the little movements of her body.
The blink of her wide eyes. The twitch of her full lower lip. The parting of lips in wonder while observing and taking in, an expression she had going on now while looking around his office.
The great curiosity and wonder while fidgeting her hands nervously. The heavy flow of the thick curtain of her hair while she turned her head to the wall. All these movements were a little naive and young.
He thought that the once princess, rich daddy’s spoilt daughter would come here glaring, fuming, snapping and pissed off at him but now looking at her manner, he was thoroughly and completely bewildered.
The woman standing in front of him had an aura and confidence of her own, not because she was an only heiress to a business mogul. He could see that she was a strong and independent woman, who was furious and angry but hadn’t over ruled her manners and etiquettes.
Virat was thrown off the loop here. Anushka was nothing like what he had thought her to be.
Anushka didn’t flinch or wince at his words. She didn’t run away crying with tears streaming down her face, instead she held her ground staring back at him timidly in silence and serenity.
Usually women would run or dissolve into tears at his silent anger or taunt. But, she wasn’t giving him the reaction he needed as her eyes locked with his now in what seemed to be a staring battle.
Virat was greatly amused. The light in her eyes penetrated deeper into the layers of his gaze disturbingly. She stood her ground in front of him and he loved the challenge, that was brewing in her orbs.
“You surely think very high of yourself.” Anushka remarked and crossed her hands .
“And you speak like you have already figured me out.” Virat smirked.
His assessing eyes went up lazily and he caught a stiff look come across her face and he almost smiled at the uncertain and trapped expression she presented to his stare right now. His eyes strayed to her face and narrowed when she didn’t flinch nor drew back.
Anushka stared back at him blankly. It bewildered Virat.
Her eyebrows were thin and she had a fair complexion. A deep flush rose over her cheeks at his sharp scrutiny and snarky comment. The flush deepened and he followed the trail of it moving down over her jaw and then down to the slender neck.
His eyes strayed down to the blush but he lost the focus of it when it disappeared under the t-shirt starting from her collar bone. His mind circled into annoyance. Confounding clothes.
“Why do you want to marry me ?!!” She asked, resigned and huffed a breath of air. Her shoulders dropped a little and Virat observed how she completely ignored his snarky remark from earlier.
