Chapter 11

Isha P.O.V

"Let's make a deal", He said in a cold tone sending shivers to run down my spine.

I gulped down as my palms became sweaty.

" What type of deal?" I asked holding my breath.

"You want everything to be professional. Then it will be professional. But you have to make a deal with me", He said looking at me with his steel grey color eyes.

" I don't understand. What do you want to say?" I asked him while my body was shaking with nervousness.

"I will invest in the company but you have to follow some rules", He said in simple words.

I put my hands on a table with a thud and glared at him with murderous eyes. If looks could kill, he would be six feet under the ground.

" You think you can control me by investing in the company. We don't need your help. I already told you that if we deserve to have a deal, then give us the project. I don't want this project in some form of charity ", I said angrily.

" Woah. You didn't change a bit. You always make false assumptions without thinking twice", He said glaring at me.

"You also didn't change. You always make false assumptions without listening or trusting anyone ", I said with a scoff earning a glare from him.

" Aren't you the one who wants everything between us to be professional? Then why are you bringing up the past", He said looking at me with disappointed eyes.

"I want everything between us to be professional but that doesn't mean I have forgotten the past", I said with an annoyed expression.

" But you have to follow the rules", He said as he was staring at me with an unreadable expression.

"Why you are so desperate to give us the project?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

I am sure that he has some evil motives.

"Because no one deserves this project more than you. I know how much you had worked on it. I know that you worked hard day and night for it. You don't have an idea of how much I am proud of you. I am not doing any charity cases nor I am going to rule on you", He said sincerely holding my right hand making my breath hitch. I look at our entwined hands which make my heart flutter.

His eyes were holding different emotions. I averted my gaze away and pull my hands out from his grip.

" What is the deal?" I asked in a low voice.

"The deal is very simple. I want to invest in the company but I want some assurance. There are three rules you have to follow. That's it", He said in a chilled tone but I felt him scratching the back of his neck in nervousness.

" What are those three rules?" I asked folding my hands on my chest.

"Firstly, I am telling you that you shouldn't be angry. I am stating the rule for both of us betterment", He said looking at me with concerned eyes.

" I will try. But I won't follow the rule if they are not possible for me", I said clearing my point of view.

"Nothing is impossible for you", He cut me off as he looked into my eyes.

" So, the first rule is that you will work under me. I want you to personally handle this project with me", He said raising his eyebrows.

"Well, it's alright with me. Mr. Asad had already told me to handle this project and I was going to do it anyway ", I said waving my hands.

" The second rule is that you will not interact with any male colleague unnecessarily. You will be working under me so it won't be needed", He said pinching the bridge of his nose.
