A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 5

*Anitha Pov*

He stared at my face before shifting his eyes to look at my hand on his shoulder and again turned to see my face but this time with a frown instead of a surprised look like earlier.

"You can remove this hand before we have that small talk." He commented which I completely ignored while trying to get the words I feel I should clear before starting to hate him and myself for liking him for two years straight.

"Are you a celebrity? Or a huge public figure?" I asked and his expression turned into confusion after hearing that question.

"Oh right! It's me! I am the celebrity here and you can call a small public figure for now. Then, why are you acting as if I am scheming to just be with you and make you forcefully become my boyfriend... No! A fake fiancé?" I asked and that confused expression turned into a glare.

"Don't act like you don't know who I am. Vikranth, Shrishti and I are used to such things from the time we were teenagers. GH is not just in entertainment and it is a huge thing where we three have the highest profits from." He pointed out.

"So? But as far as I remember Vikranth has major profit in this and will continuously have. Why didn't I just trapped him?" I asked and he opened his mouth before closing it.

"Have some confidence in yourself. If someone really wants to be with you then it could be because of you and not because of your Dad or something else." I continued and he just stared at me hearing those words.

"That being said I don't want to be with you no matter what. So, keep that in your mind and stop treating as some readymade gold digger that is entering your life." I stated and finally removed my hand before sitting on the table before him but he didn't move at all.

I stayed silent while he just stared at me and finally looked away feeling ashamed that I am still lost for those eyes.

"I am sorry!" he apologized and this time it feels like he is genuine and I sighed raising the bar for him again and assuring the respect I still have for him while feeling glad to not lose that little respect in my mind.

"You are right! You are a celebrity and it must be harder for you." He mumbled and I sighed.

"Don't take those words to heart. I was being rude as I was pissed off with your words and the way you treated me. I don't have such pride as I have to work hard from now on and have a long way to go." I said but he shook his head.

"I am really sorry for being rude towards you and disrespecting you." He repeated staring at me.

"It's okay! I know you hate this situation but even I hate it. So, let's make it up by being cordial to each other. I will never interfere with your life and you will not. I will be going back within a week and may return after a few weeks to finalize everything. And you just need to follow their instructions which could be a problem for you." I mumbled but he frowned hearing those words.

"Their instructions could be a problem for me? You are the one they are restricting too much, right?" he asked and I realized he didn't read the contract.

"I saw that the conditions they have for you are like two pages while mine is not even half a page." He pointed out and I calmly passed the contract from the table after turning to his instructions page.

"What the hell is this?" he shouted standing up while I kept quiet.

"Because I am an outsider, they made the instructions clearly like not missing any loopholes and that's why there are so many but I felt the conditions they placed for you are worst." I mumbled after he sat down in shock.
