The Billionaire's Hero

Prank

Chapter 6 - Prank

MONISHA SINGH

Mon reached the office on time. She waved at the Director who motioned her to follow him. She did just that and into his office.The frown lines that marred his forehead put her on alert mode instantly. Especially with a sorry look on his face as he told her to take a seat opposite to him.

"What is it?" She asked the moment she parked her ass down on the chair.

"This came for you" he murmured and handed her a paper that she now noticed was sitting on the table. There was a bit of shock on his face and a bit of guilt.

She didn't have to open the piece of paper that he had handed her.She knew that it would be another threat and now she was not only angry at her brothers but also the director who seemed to have been threatened by this.

"Do you have something to say to me?" She asked. She swallowed the rage that was bubbling in her chest. "These things are an everyday occurence. Someone or the other either sends a threat or a love letter. You aren't new to this Kevin"

"I can't do this-"

"You know that I'm the best there is. You're replacing me because of a threat."

"If the word gets out..."

"You've used worst of the worst cases to get good ratings for the movie. Don't you think that this will infact get you some big publicity."

"If you get killed..."

She grit her teeth, "Nobody's getting killed. You're making a big deal out of a simple letter that might as well be a prank "

She hadn't even noticed that she had pushed the chair back and was now leaning across the desk with her fists closed tightly balancing on the table. She was so close to strangling him when a knock resounded in the room and she heard Cal's familiar voice ask"Is there a problem, Mon?"

Monisha just raised an eyebrow at the director who frowned at Cal.

"Who are you? And who the hell let you in?"

She didn't even turn to look if Cal had left or had entered inside until he tried to pluck the now crumpled piece of paper from her fist

"Where did you find this?" Cal spoke up. His voice had gone deep seeing that he was all business but she felt a delicious shiver down her spine and she calmed a little.

"It was on my chair with her name written on it."

A frown marred his eyebrows as his eyes scanned the letter. He folded it back and stuffed it in the back pocket of his jeans.

"This is just a prank." Cal said, his hand waving as if dismissing the mere thought that there could be a threat to her life

"It is?" Mon asked and he nodded 

"Who the hell-"the director now seemed to have been just as angry as she was a few minutes ago.

"I'm her boyfriend"

"And an overprotective one at that." Mon nodded just going along with it.

"You can't just barge in here." He yelled.

"I can if I hear my girlfriend's in distress and I'm pretty sure she was seconds away from strangling you."

Monisha gave him an amused glance and she stood up. "He's kidding. He'll wait for me outside while we talk this out. Right sweetheart?"

She put an extra emphasis on sweetheart as she tried to push him out the door. It was useless. She might as well be trying to move a boulder.

He glared at the man behind her and then with a nod left the room.Monisha settled back in her seat with a deep breath.
