The elevator arrives on the first floor,and I scramble out as soon as the door slide open, as I step out of the building, I welcome the cool refreshing rain. I close my eyes and take a deep, purifying breath.

No man has ever affected me the way Shravan malhotra has, and I cannot understand why

No man has ever affected me the way Shravan malhotra has, and I cannot understand why.

"sumo! You are back " Preeti sits in our living room, looking at her laptop.

Suman : um, before you say anything....

Preeti: you're a goddess, this is perfect.

Suman : what?

Preeti: I just got his email, he answered every question. So? what was he like?

I struggle to answer her question.

Suman : uh, he was fine.

Preeti : fine? Just fine?

Suman : Um, he was really polite, he was courteous , and very formal and clean.

Preeti : clean?

Suman: I mean, he was very, you know, smart and intense. It was kind of intimidating. I can understand the fascination.

Preeti : uh-huh !

She arches a perfect eyebrows at me.

Suman : why are you looking at me like that?

Preeti : Like what ?

Suman : okay. I'm going to make sandwich, do you want one?

Preeti : No, thanks.

I start gathering the making of sandwich so she can't see my face.

Preeti : you have to admit, he ridiculously hot.

Suman : why do you want to know that if he was gay?

Preeti : Because whenever he's in a society pages, he never been photographed with a woman. So naturally.....

Suman : well maybe he just wants to keep his private life private, Preeti

Preeti : And now you're defending him.

Suman : okay. I'm terminating this conversation.

Preeti : Too bad we don't have original photograph of your hot, clean, twenty-seven billionaire.

Preeti : okay, I wasn't hungry, but now I am. Thank you. Love you.

We talk no more of Shravan malhotra that evening, much to my relief. Once we have eaten. I'm able to sit at a dining table with Preeti, and while she works on her articles , I work on my essay.

For the rest of the week, I throw myself into my studies and my job Clayton's. Preeti is busy too, compiling her last edition of her student magazine.
