Shanaya's POV:

I am here in my room waiting for that stupid Manav..!! God I still can't believe I am actually going to take his help.!!!!! I got a video call from Priya and I answered it and put it on my dresser..!!!

Priya: Hello beautiful..!!!!

Shanaya: SHUT. UP.!!! I am not.!! I so hate you Priya.!!  I will get back to you for what you are making me do.!!!

Priya: Oh Really.!! Girl are you telling me that you actually have a "Genius " plan right under your sleeve to be around Aditya and not being doubted as his bodyguard.!!!!

(Aaargh.! I hate it when she is right.!!!!)

Shanaya: Shut up you bitch.!!!

Priya: Love you too sweetheart.!! But where is your crime partner for this job.!!? Manav..!!!

Shanaya: Must be coming.! He has to deal with Aditya and Sr. Oberoi.!!

Priya: Girl it's already 11 pm.!! When do you think you guys will start your plan and the preparation for that plan.!!

Shanaya: I don't know.!! I don't even know why am doing this.! Priya I don't think I will be able to pull this off yaar.!!

Priya : C'mon girl.!! You are The Shanaya Shekhawat.!!! You can do anything.!! You have gone undercover so many times in your missions.!!!

Shanaya: I know..! But this was never my character.! Dude I don't do so well with this area.! You know that..!!

Priya: Sorry Shanaya but I don't agree.! All you have to do is let your REAL self come into action.! Well not completely but some part of it.! As we still need hints of your sassy side.!!!!

(While we were discussing all these I heard footsteps approaching and heard knock.!!! These many footsteps!?? Why..! I opened the door and before I could say anything Manav came into my room with few people who had some dresses and others had some fancy looking boxes.!! Okay.!! What's going on.!?? I closed the door and went towards Manav with confused look.! Well according to the way I look at them.! 3 girls are beauticians and 2 hairdressers and 1 Designer who has way too many dresses on his trolley.!! What the hell are these many people doing in my room.!!)

Shanaya: Manav.!!! What the fuck is going on.? Why are these people here.?

Manav: For you.!!! (He said smiling showing all his teeth.! Oh I so want to break them.!!)

Shanaya: Wait!!! What now. ??? For me.??  What for.???

Manav: Ladies.... She is all yours.!!!!! I will see you in the morning sweetheart!!

Shanaya: Wait... Manav..!! What the...... Okay now..! Wait... Time please..!  What....... ??

(Before I could say anything or do anything.... they started to do all different kinds of stuff with my hair, nails, face and that designer is taking my measurements.!!! What the actual hell.!?  I could hear Priya looking at my situation and laughing ..!! She has already added Manav in the call.!!! Oh I so hate her.!! Now Manav is laughing too.!!! I have made a mental note of killing them after all this role play is done.!!! So after all the skin care routine as they say so..!!! Hair dresser started chopping off my hair..!!!! WHAT THE HELL.!!!!!)

Shanaya: Girl.!!! What do you think you are doing????

Hair Dresser: Ma'am we have to transform you.! Your rough and tough look won't work.!!!

Priya: Shush Shanaya.!!! Let them do their work.!!!

(AAAAAARRRRRRGGHHHHHH.!!!!! Okay.... Okay..!!! Calm down..!!!! I have to let them do their work and for that I need to distract myself..!! I need to talk to Manav anyways.!.!)

Shanaya: Manav.! Listen you idiot.! On my way here I left a package in your room.! Did you open it.??

Manav: Package.!! What package.???

Shanaya: It says M on it and a package that looks like it was delivered from Amazon.!

Manav: Oh! That's the package you kept for me.!!! I thought I got another delivery of one of my random online purchases.!!

Shanaya: Just shut up and open that goddamn package.!!

(Finally he got the package and opened the package.! )

Manav: Oh.!!! Wowzah.!!! An IPhone 12..!!! A WIERD looking ear piece and this Apple Watch.!!!!! What's up Shanaya.!! Fell in love with me.!!! So many gifts already.!!!!

Shanaya: Not. Even. In. Your. Dreams.!!!! Once you unlock them they will be connected to each other and each device is connected to mine.! You will have all these 3 devices 24*7 with you.! Any updates about slightest change we have to coordinate with each other.! Got it.!

Manav: Got it.! Btw you will not be coming with Aditya tomorrow in his car.! Right.?

(He said with a smirk.! Oooooo I so want to wipe that stupid smirk from his stupid face.!!!)

Shanaya: Yes! I won't be coming.! That's why you will keep me updated.!! About when will I have to come.!!

Manav: Well that I have taken care of..!!
I will call you exactly 30 minutes before you will come at the brand shoot.! That means may be around 11:30 Am.! As the shoot has to start by 11 am and everyone is supposed to be there by 10:30 am.! Your arrival depends on the panic created over there.!!!

Shanaya: And that depends on you.! Make sure that they do exactly what we want them to do as this 1st step is extremely important for our rest of the mission.!!
Aaargh.! I can't believe I am doing this.!!! Like seriously.!! What if in this process we hurt him.! He is already upset with me.! I have no clue why.! I mean I still don't get it what was he expecting from me.!!!

Manav: I will try my best that he doesn't get hurt that much .!!! But about the earlier.! Girl you really need to let go off your this sassy image and think like a normal girl to understand why is he upset with you.!!!

Priya: Shanaya you really have to work hard on handling both your REAL side and SASSY side for this one.!!! Everything depends on that..!!! Also don't forget you still owe him an apology.!.!

Manav: My words exactly.!!

Shanaya: Fuck off you both !!!
(And I disconnected the call.!!! I looked at my reflection in the mirror.!! Holy shit.!! What have they done to me.!! Well to be honest I look......... )

Hair dresser: SEXY .!!!!!

Make up artists: Okay so we have done basic right now and will see you tomorrow sharp at 10 am.!

Designer: okay sweetheart.! I have left some dresses and clothes that you will be wearing from now on .... in your closet so your actual clothes are in your luggage.! Also all of them are my favorite so they can select any according to the looks they are going for and the dresses will be available.!! Girl you have no idea how sexy you are.!! You will do great.! Just have confidence in yourself.!

(And everyone left.! I was just staring at my reflection in the mirror..! Is this the right thing to do.!!!? I hope I won't hurt anyone in this process..!!!!!!! Wait a minute.!!! What the hell am I thinking.!!! Shit shit shit.!!!! Since when I started to think what others will think or how they feel.!!!!! Goodness I am just investing my emotional self in this assignment and I am not liking it.!!! I just freshen up and dropped on the bed and all this mixed feeling within my mind I fell asleep..!!!

I woke up with my alarm ringing around 7..!! Rise and shine..!! Time to get some exercise.! I freshen up and change into my gym clothes.! Thank goodness she did not change these clothes.! I went to the gym in the house and almost after an hour I was done.! I was leaving when I saw Aditya entering the gym.! I was going to talk to him but he completely ignored me and plugged in his headphones and started his exercise.!! Oh well.! I guess see you at the shoot with a BIG surprise.!!!!
I left went to my room and after taking shower and wearing some simple tracks I went downstairs and started to have my breakfast.!! At same time Sr. Oberoi arrived.! )

SO: Good Morning.! Aren't you going to wait for Aditya and Manav.!

Shanaya: Good Morning Sir.! Well I think your son is still showing his tantrums and it's better I just have my breakfast right now and give him space.! I need to get started with preparation for today as well.!!

SO: Oh ya.! Good luck for that.!! Cannot wait for that.!!!

( He said winking at me.!! God! Please dig a hole and I will crawl into it right now.! Okay.! Act cool!)

Shanaya: Thank you Sir.! Well I am done with my breakfast! I will get going! Have a great day sir!

SO: I guess you will have to stop calling me "Sir"!!!!

(He said with a chuckle..!! God!!! I wanna hide.)

Shanaya: O.. Okay sir.! I will work on it! Excuse me.!

(I left the dining area and went to my room. The girls from yesterday were already there.!.!!! Ooooh dear lord..!!! Here we go..! I started to do as they say ....)

Aditya's POV

(I am right now in my room getting ready after my gym routine.! Well I saw Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat today morning.! I played it cool and ignored her.! I swear it was so hard.! Especially when she just did her workout.!! She oozes out sexiness.!! Damn this hormones.! I am upset with her.! I need to avoid her until she knows that she has to apologize.! Well she will soon do that as she will be stuck with me for the whole day due to the brand shoot and a party to attend after that.!! You are stuck with me Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat.! You have to apologize.! So I can go back to calling you Shanaya.! Man I am not liking to call her by her full name.! Well no one told me either but that shows that I am actually upset with her.! I am done getting ready.! I am going to dining area and I am sure she will be there.!! We have to leave right after breakfast. I don't like being late.!!
I reached the dining area and all I can see is breakfast on the table and Manav and dad waiting for me.! Where is she.??? As if reading my mind dad said...)

SO: Good Morning Adi.! Well the one you are looking for is in her room.!

Aditya: The hell.!!! What is she doing there.? Doesn't she know we have to leave right after breakfast.!!! Where did her punctuality go now.?

(I said getting irritated and sitting down by my chair..! Why am I irritated btw.!!!????)

Manav: Why are you so irritated btw.??

(He had to ask this.! I can see from his face he is enjoying it.! What happened to him.? He hates her.! )

Aditya: What's wrong with you.??? You don't look irritated with her mention.! As far as I know.! You two don't get along.!!!!

Manav: Well.!! Ya.! We don't.! That's why I am glad that she is not here.! So calm and quiet.!!!

SO: She had her breakfast before you guys came.! She said that she wants to give you some space Adi.!

Aditya: The hell.!! You know what I don't care! Let's eat.! Will talk about it later if she gets late for her duty.!

(After we were done with breakfast we started to leave. I am searching for Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat but can't see her.! And this Manav is continuously on his phone.! I am waiting in my car when the car door open and Manav sat next to me and ordered driver to start the car and leave.! Wait now.! Isn't she coming.????)

Aditya: Dude.! Where is Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat.! Forgot her bodyguard duties.!

Manav: She is not coming.!

(He just said casually and our car took off.!! Are you serious.!!! She is not coming meaning.????)

Aditya: What do you mean.?

Manav: Exactly what I said.!!! She is not coming.!
Relax yaar.! Sahi hai na.! You and me both will get break from her.!

(I don't want break from her.!! Wait.! What did I just thought.!? Shit.! I am loosing sanity.! Is she ignoring me now.! Did I overreacted??? Man.! I wanted her to be with me.!! Of course as my Bodyguard.!!! If she is not coming than what about my security.!)

Aditya: What about my security.?

Manav: She arranged 2 bodyguards from her agencies.!

Aditya: Oh.!!! Okay..... wait..! How do you know all this.!!!

Manav: I am your PA remember.??? She has to convey everything through me.! That's what you said to her.!

(Shit.! Me and my big mouth.! Why don't I think before speaking.?? She took it way too seriously.! Man..!! It sucks.!!
We reached exactly at 10:25 am and everyone was there except the actress who will be opposite me in this brand shoot video.! Well I went to my vanity and got into my brand shoot casual cool attire as it will be a beach shoot.! We are waiting for the lead actress.! I don't even know who is she.! I am looking at my watch and it is WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL.!!! 10:55 am .!!!!! No signs of her.!! I went out of my vanity and the whole set is a chaos.! Everyone is in panic.!!! Director of the shoot is like he will have a heart attack any minute.!!! Manav came running to me panic and worry clearly seen on his face.!!! )

Manav: Dude the actress called in sick.! She is down with high fever.!!!!! And director haven't arranged any back up.!!!
I am getting a call. See you later.!

(He took off and I went to director.... Dude he will pass out any minute....)

World will see my face for the first time.! I left for the location... I have to be there by 11:15 am.! I guess I will make it on time.! As per Manav he has made sure that the Aditya is with director and at place where they can see me coming out of the car and walking towards them.!! Phew.! Okay.! I am here.! I texted Manav..! I could see from the window Aditya is with someone may be director and Manav is walking up to them.! Alright...... i know it's a different one but... c'mon Shanaya..... THE GAME IS ON..!!!! I opened the car door and came out with my back towards them.!!)

Shanaya's POV end

While we were discussing all this a car stopped and a girl stepped out..! Her back is towards us.! I cannot figure out who is she.!!! I was not notified about any one else's arrival..!! Who is she.?? And she turned.! And started to walk towards us with sweetest smile.! It took me couple of minutes to react.!!! HOLY SHIT.!!! It's Shanaya.!!! How.? Why.! She..??? Like..??? I could see director stood up right next to me as well..!!! I don't care...!! Wow.!!!!! SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.!!!! AND SEXY.!! Damn.! It's hot in here all of a sudden..!!!

Shanaya: I so......sorry Adi..!!!

( Shit.!! Sorry..!!! Like this..???? Above all this she called me Adi..?????? What is going on.???? This is too much to take in.!!!! It is already taking a lot from me to act normal right now.!! God help me.!!!)

Director: Miss.... Do I know you..???? Haven't seen you before with Mr. Aditya.!!

(Shit.! What should I say now.!!! Before I can say anything she just hold my one arm with both of her hands as if claiming me.! And said)

Shanaya: Oh.! So sorry not to introduce myself properly.!!! Myself Shan...! Adi's Shan..!! Right Adi..???

(She looked at me with most beautiful eyes and lots of hope on them..!!! And next thing I know is she cupped my face with her one hand stood tip toed and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek.! I have no clue why I closed my eyes.! But ...... but...... it felt magical..!!! Before I could say anything..,..again she spoke..... as if I was saying anything till now.. ! This girl has left me speechless..! )

Shanaya: I am sorry na Adi..!! Ab to maaf kar do...!!!

(And she made puppy eyes and cutest pout..!! Good lord this is too much for me..! It took almost all my efforts to just nod and after I did that she just jumped and squealed and hugged me again..!! Well this time it took me some time but I hugged her back......... what's happening and what's going on...!!! Why is she acting all girly.??? Not that I am complaining.... but it so so so hard to process everything right now.!! It is all happening so quickly.!!!
