The Arranged Deal✅ |COMPLETED|

Something inside me did.

"Uh yeah! I probably didn't check the ID. I was expecting someone else." I said slowly.
Calm Eve. You've to ignore him.
"Expecting people late night, now are we? What else can I expect? Snooping around doing illegal stuff, poking nose in other people's business, enjoying with your best friends and spoiling lives. What else can you do?"
To say I was shocked, would be an insult of the word. I was totally bewitched at the coldness in his voice. It was so rude, harsh and mean. And his words?
"What happened? Surprised?" He asked mockingly.
"Stop it miss Stanford. Since the moment you're entered my life, trust me, my life has just gotten worse. Each day , each night and each moment, owe their unpleasant presence to you. My mind has been cluttered just due to your shit. We haven't even talked even but yet. I've been noticing this since so many days that everything in my life is going wrong. And trust me it's all because of one decision that went wrong. It's called bad luck you know. My life has been disrupted. Each new day, you've got a new drama. You overreact so much. You're so mean and act around so good with everyone. I know you well. First you drug yourself and self harm carelessly. Then you get freaking kidnapped. After that you choose to declare that you are a gangster. Aren't you a piece of trouble? And let me tell you, you know how bad my company has been doing recently. Don't insult them.... Respect them my foot. Don't tell me what to do. You've already messed up my life enough. Seriously, as much as I want a shit free life, you try to be keen on creating it one itself. I'm fed up of you and your problems. Why don't you keep them small so that they don't trouble me? Why? Just understand that I can't go on wasting my time thinking about you. Stop it. It's it's so frustrating and irritating to know that you're so careless and you can do anything which can bring a bad name to me and my family. Believe me, since moment you walked into my life, my life *****." He shut his mouth leaving me numb with the force with which his words hit me.

The words didn't sink in. I tried not to let them.
I need to ignore them and for that I need to calm down. Both him and myself.
"I..... I didn't know I c..could be this much a troublemaker. It wasn't intentional to be honest." I muttered softly as I walked into the balcony, shutting the door behind me.
"Sure it wasn't." He retorted.
"What happened about that idiot you were talking of? Did you meet him?" I asked cautiously, hoping silently that it was his outburst due to his meeting and work stress.

"I cancelled the meeting. Let it be. At least, now you're happy. I've incurred quite a loss. 'Love to see people fail' huh?" He said.
"I didn't mean it that way. Don't take everything wrong." I said, staring at the starless sky, gazing back at me blankly.
Talk about irony.

"I take everything wrong? No. You do and say everything wrong."

"Perhaps not everything?" I tried to lighten him up a bit.
"Still joking? Of course you're so happy that you're being unable to control your happiness." He snared.
No actually I'm thinking if you've got a stick shoved up your.... I mean down your throat.

I'm gonna...

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO OR SAY ANYTHING.
Oh okay.

"What happened?"
"Mr Jayce, listen. Now you can't do anything about bad luck. Try to reschedule the meeting. You know, try to be calm with him. Seriously. It will help. Might be the deal works out. Don't be downright rude to him, just try it. The moment he tries to insult you, use your wits and rub it in his face. Next time he does it, kick him out. But at least give it a chance. I'm hundred percent sure it'll help. It's not that you can't do anything to him. You can do anything to him. But what's the need to show it?" I explained it to him in an unusually calm way.
"As if you care. Stop acting. And don't bloody tell me what to do. You're no one to do that. No one. Nothing to me." And this time he hung up.
The beep denoting the end of the call brought me back to reality.
