Chapter 25

"So, he was here again today?" Keerthi asked after passing the new contract for a brand and this will be a major one for me in India.

"How do you know that?" I asked looking away from the contract and she searched on her phone before showing a picture of me waving at Prathap who is getting inside his car in the early morning.

I shook my head before concentrating back as the headline is not a bad one and even encouraging our couple and there is no need to worry about it.

"You both changed the tactic and decided for him to shift here instead of you shifting to his place?" she asked not leaving the topic.

"No! He has his restaurant to look after and is busy more during the weekends. How can he stay here and go there every day?" I asked her frowning but didn't glance at her.

"Then why is he staying here every night for the past week?" I sighed realizing she found out that part too.

We didn't get clocked until today morning and I thought she just know about the first day and today.

"He is not shifting to this room." I said looking up but she gave a disbelief look.

"He is really not shifting to this room." I stressed it again but looks like she is not ready to believe it.

"Whenever he is free, he will come here and that's all. If I have time, then I will go there." I mumbled as it is not a big deal if she knows about it.

"Looks like he is free for a whole week until now even though yesterday was Sunday." She mumbled and it looks like she is teasing.

"We are just getting to know each other." I shrugged and she glanced at the bed where the sheets are still crumbled before smirking.

"God! When did you become so nosy?" I asked while trying to not look shy with the way she is teasing.

"It's my job to be nosy about you." She shrugged and I glared at her before finishing to read the contract and calmly signed it.

It is already checked by Vikranth and even she cross-checked it and I need not worry about it anymore. She left after taking the signed contract to submit it but not before reminding me about the evening's shoot.

I sighed leaning back and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before unlocking my phone to check the article and immediately took a screenshot of the picture before sending it to him.

'We are caught!' I smiled while waiting for his reply and he replied within two minutes saying, 'Did you get in trouble?'

"No! But they are encouraging us.' I replied with a heart symbol and felt giddy to even message with him like this.

I thought I will like him in a normal way and will not feel these butterflies after a certain time but it is not reducing and increasing.

I am not complaining about these flutters but enjoying them and somehow we ended up chatting for an hour before he excused himself saying he needs to check in the kitchen.

I smiled closing my eyes and realized I am lying down on the couch and I don't remember when I changed my posture in the first place.

I checked the time and ordered a light lunch before getting ready so that I will not let Keerthi wait for me.

However, when I reached downstairs I found her arguing with Manoj but went silent when they saw me but I clearly heard her saying he shouldn't say anything right now.
