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

Chapter 45

*Prathap Pov*

"Are you both sure they are ready to handle the new restaurant?" I asked them again as I will be informing the new chef and the manager officially regarding their new responsibility.

"Of course! You will be there too. So, I don't think there will be any problem." Bharghav assured me while Deepak continued to stare at his feet.

"Deepak?" I called him frowning and he sighed before glancing up to stare at me.

"I am not worried about her but I am worried about myself. How will I handle everything without your presence here?" he asked frowning.

"You were doing wonderfully until now and I am not shifting to another city." I pointed out but he shook his head.

I already bought the building and the renovations are going on now to make it a proper one to start the restaurant. Within a month, we can even open it but I am worried about being busy again with this work and get less time to spend with Anitha.

She is also busy with her work and if we both are busy then the time we can meet may reduce more and that could affect our relationship but I will try to work hard and I am sure she will do the same.

"Don't worry about him at all. He is just whining and will be fine." Bharghav shook his head while Deepak glared at him.

"Okay! Call everyone to gather and I will announce it." They both nodded before leaving the cabin while I took my phone to check any messages from Anitha as she has no work today and we can have a date after a long time.

I guess she is still at the agency otherwise she would have messaged me like she said she will after finishing her work with Vikranth.

After walking out of the cabin, I stared at them before announcing, "We will be starting our new restaurant soon within a month. The new chef will be Anand and the manager will be Jhansi."

They both stared at me in surprise while others started clapping for them and after that, I calmly continued, "A few of the staff will be shifted to that restaurant and anyone interested can let Deepak know, and then we will choose by matching our choice along with it."

"Any objections?" I asked and no one said anything while Deepak took the responsibility of giving them details regarding the area where the new restaurant will be.

I walked back to the cabin when my phone started ringing and it's Anitha. I smiled picking it up saying, "Are you done? Shall I come to pick you up or meet at our home?"

"Prathap!" she called my name clearing her throat.

"What is it? It will take longer?" I asked while pausing my moments of packing my stuff as I am completely shifting my things to her place today.

I already shifted the major ones like my study on the recipes and everything but just a few files were left in the cabin which I will shift to her place today.

"Anny!" I heard Vikranth's voice and she sighed before calling my name again.

"You know that I love you, right?" she suddenly asked making me frown.

"Of course! Is something wrong, Anitha?" I asked feeling her voice to be down.

"I have some work and will finish by afternoon. Then we will talk properly at home. Just go home and wait for me. And get some sleep or cook something for us." She rushed the words and my confusion just raised.

"What is going on? You can tell me what it is and I will be there with you. You can trust me, Anitha." I mumbled holding my phone tightly.

"I know! I know you will be there for me but for a few hours trust me too. We will have our talk in the afternoon." Saying that she cut the call while I frowned trying to understand her words.
