Aapke Pyaar Mein [IPKKND AU] - to be continued

Chapter 25

So far the day did not turn out as terrific as Arnav Singh Raizada had fancied. When he left home in the morning he had a clear visualization of the upcoming day which included him spending quite a good amount of time with his fiancée Khushi Kumari Gupta. It had been his sole motivation behind compelling her to work at AR.

Unfortunately his right hand Aman Mathur had other plans with him. Upon entering the cabin, he was reminded of his busy schedule for the day ahead and held captive with work.

So when it was finally lunch break, never had he ever before been so radiant about it. In fact usually he used to drown himself into work even during breaks, but today he cordially welcomed this one hour for he finally had the opportunity to spend some time with Khushi who was pretty much oblivious to his plans.

'Come up to my cabin.' Came his direct order as she picked up her phone.

Her head shot up. As foreseen her employer was standing right there at the floor to ceiling window of his cabin staring down at her.

'Why?' She asked darting her view back to the tiffin on her desk. If someone catches them phoning with their eyes locked she'll become the top topic for heated gossip throughout the breaks.

'You question too much unnecessarily.' He stated not caring to avert his eyes. Most of the staff were out or sitting in the canteen so he didn't even feel the need to harden his gaze.

'Can't you just simply answer?' She snarled close-mouthed.

'Let's have lunch together.'

'And why?' She asked casually in an attempt to seem disinterested though it was quite the opposite.

'Because I didn't bring any food today, so thought of eating you.' His teasing reply turned her cheeks into a rosy pink inducing a satisfied grin on his face.

She was innocent but not stupid to not fathom the implication.

She halted for a moment consuming his pleasant side of a tease. She had to match him. That's how it has always been between them and that's how it probably will always be. And despite her inexperience in such teasing matters, she overcame her hesitance and attempted a suitable comeback.

'I knew I'd regret falling in love with a non-vegetarian. Once you see meat, you jump on it.'

Pressing her lips together she met his eyes and the sight of his lips breaking into a genuine smile was enough to bring out the radiant simper on her face.

'Wow, I had no idea you can read minds.' He remarked huskily resulting in her utter confusion. 'Ji?'

'Stop jiing and come up.' He let the joking rest for now to continue it later.

'No Arnavji, I can't. Your staff will see and think I'm that type of girl.' She reasoned with an explanation, much to his amusement.

'What type?' He questioned jovially.

He was completely aware of the generalized type she referred to but his curiosity tended to check the way she will provide a definition.

'The type who has an affair with her boss.' She glowered right up at him while answering as accurately as possible completely in knowledge of his deliberate test.

'Technically you do have an affair with your boss.' He shrugged his shoulders maintaining a serious face.

'And technically my boss forced me to work here.' She narrowed her eyes in a matter-of-fact voice.

'Khushi, are you coming or not?' He brushed her off coming back to the original reason of his call lest they start digging already resolved matters.

'I'm sorry. Please don't be angry but I can't.' Regardless of her own want of spending some fun time with her Laad Governor, she couldn't risk becoming news and even being bad mouthed about. 'Please understand.'
