Love and Respect

Chap 5 - Leave

Hetal's POV

As soon as I agreed on it. He took the folder back from my hand and signed it.

I felt relieved to see him signing under his name. I quickly fetched the agreement from his hand, so that he does not change his mind and do something which is not good for both of us.

"I know my capabilities well so I will never hope to ever receive your love" as I completed this statement of mine

An embarrassing silence covered the room. He couldn't help but stare at me.

I guess he looked gloomy and let out a blank expression. As his face was not clear to me

Since I could no longer bear his stare, I said, "Mr. Oberoi, it's late. I think you should go to bed."

I long stressed on the word "go".

I flashed this attitude to Rudra as I didn't want to sleep in the same room with him. Thus, I reminded him to leave.

Once he left the room I quickly took my pajama from my bag and wore it and close the door of the bedroom and sleep overtook me.

Rudra's POV

I was a goner by her face which was pretty elegant. I seemed to be calm and rational. From my face, but I knew she would never know how bad I tried to restrain this expression. I didn't want to lose control in front of her.

But as soon as I heard her saying, "Mr. Oberoi, it's late. I think you should go to bed."

I immediately rushed back to my study after responding with an okay to her.

I barely could resist the impulse to kiss her and hold her. To overcome this thought, I went on to take a half-an-hour's cold shower. There was no other way to relieve my ignited urge. For years I hadn't ever experienced an uncontrollable urge for intimacy.

I kept twisting and turning in my bed till the sleep overtook me.
