Part 4

Cabir was waiting for him in the parking right in front of his building in a nice beautiful car. It was different this time. It was a silver color BMW SUV model x7 of the present year 2017.

He opened the passenger side door and hopped in it.
"Where's the Range Rover..." asked Manik as soon he pulled the seat belt.
"Well good morning to you too... what's happening to your manners Manik..." Cabir asked totally ignoring his question.

"Nothing it wasn't a very good morning for me.." Replied Manik thinking of Nandini. But it was a good and a better morning for him of course.

"Why what happened... and by the way when you have these beauty in cars why do you want to drive only one.... I will take as many cars as I want...." said Cabir taking out the car from the parking spot.

Manik thought for a minute. Thinking whether he should tell him about Nandini or not. Cabir knows almost every little detail of Manik's life.

"Hey, where are you lost man...what's goin' on... you look tense..." Cabir observed him.

"It's not anything serious, there's this girl...,"
"Girl...."Cabir screamed...
"There's a girl in your life and you didn't tell me...." Cabir's mouth opens with a surprise making the situation more serious.

"Oh ho Cabir... listen to me first...." and Manik narrated to him about how Nandini got hired till she came to cook for him today in the morning excluding the kiss part of course.

"But how did she land up in your house as your cook..." Cabir asked.

"Maybe it's one of Kathy's blunder, sending a fresher for new jobs..." Manik thought of something and said
"I don't know what Kathy was thinking when she send her here..."

"So from tomorrow you won't let this new girl come to cook..." Cabir tried to read his mind.

"No it's not like that..." Manik blurts out than he covered his mistake by saying...
"What's so harm in eating good food anyways.... she's a good cook and I was thinking otherwise..."

"Caught ya.." Cabir banged his hand on the steering wheel.
"I was just thinking that Manik Malhotra is taking interest in a girl... that's something new... so this girl IS someone special... I gotta meet her.... who made THE MANIK MALHOTRA  confused...." Cabir gave a wide smile.

"Cabir it's nothing like that... don't jump on to conclusions..." Manik tried to clarify. But Cabir is not in a mood to hear.

"Ya ya...I know... anyways.... you go ahead upstairs I'm coming in a few...." Cabir said as he stopped the car in front of the building.

"I'll see you then..." said Manik stepping out of the car.

........

Manik came out of the elevator and walked towards Kathy's desk.
Nandini was behind Kathy's desk. She can see Manik but he couldn't see her because Kathy was blocking his view.

This is the first time Nandini was taking a good look at him.

His solid presence stirred the whole lot of something inside her.

While he talks to Kathy about the morning cooking thing....Nandini is busy looking at a complete model material.

A sculpted body covered in a three piece elegantly tailored stitched Armani suit, with a height of a little above six feet.

The most important thing is his features which is to die for. A pure manly face with a sharp jawline that could make girls go Gaga over him.... those chocolate orbs like eyes where you can drown yourself and didn't want to get yourself rescued.... his pointy nose where he settled his anger to burst out anytime.

And last but not the least is the thin line of his sexy lips which makes her itch to taste it again.

'Nandini stop drooling over him, he is your boss for pete's sake... concentrate on your work...' the hot thoughts are making her all think about wrong things.

"Where is she anyways..." Nandini heard him.

"She is right here sir..." Kathy moved away to show her presence.

As soon as he saw her his aggressive tone became soft. He loooked at her and found her staring at him. He coughed to gain her attention.

Nandini stands up from her chair getting panicked and in that panicky state she dropped her pencil that she was holding in her hand.

She bend down to picked it up and heard Manik again.

"Kathy I need my coffee on my desk in 2..." and he walked away from them.

"You heard him ms Nandini... I don't think you want to make him upset..." Kathy turned to Nandini and said.

"But he asked...." Nandini wanted to tell her 'he asked you' but kept quiet.

"Yes what were you saying.." Kathy raised one of her eyebrow and gave a look.

"Nothing..." replied Nandini and went into the cafeteria to make his special coffee warm in his designated coffee cup.

.....

In his cabin, it took him at least a couple of minutes to calm himself down. After seeing her again he was very much ready to go closer to her and took her in his arms.

Damn, he liked to see good girls and admire them too.... but Nandini is soo exceptional that he couldn't think otherwise.
All kinds of different thoughts are capturing his mind and heart. He couldn't have control on them. This never happen with him before.

She walked in his office taking his coffee not waiting for him to answer. He was looking at his files and didn't lift his face up.

"Your coffee.." to her sweet voice his insides melt. He looked up when she was placing his coffee on his table.

"There's a thing called manners... you should knock before you enter anyone's office..." he said in a serious tone.

"I knocked twice... you didn't answer... I got it as my cue and came in..." she answered back looking at the desk in front of him.

Nandini is trying all her best not to look at him.

How can he hear the knock when he is lost deep in her thoughts. But he like the way she don't take any attitude from him.

He knew that the way they both kissed has changed the equation between an employer and an employee.

To Change the atmosphere he took the coffee cup and said.

"You didn't meet with all the staff yet. I want to introduce you to everyone here so that it will be easier to interact..." he said in a firm tone avoiding the strong pull that he is getting from her.

Tasting the coffee he pressed his lips together.

"How did you know what coffee I drink..." he asked taking a glance at her.

"I'm a quick learner... I learned fast..." she answered twistingly without looking.

"Ok you ready to go meet the other members of the company.." he asked.

"Yes sir..." she said but thought

'What will you tell them... that I'm your cook or your secretary or what... coz you won't be introducing me as your assistant designer...' she was blabbing under her tone that's very unclear to him..

"Did you say something..." he gave a confusing look to her.

"No..." she said.

"You go ahead with Kathy and walked to the department of designing... I'll join you... tell Kathy to lead you to the floor..." he said.

"Yes sir..." she answered and without even glancing at him she marched out of his office.
After closing the door behind her she took a deep breath that's stuck in her throat...

'Oh my sweet lord... how can I work under him... when I can't even look at him eye to eye properly... whenever I look at him. It reminds me of the encounters happened with us... and that kiss...,' as soon as she thought about it her heart started racing like crazy.

'Help me lord please...'

In his office Manik was thinking the same thing....

"Oh gawd... what am I gonna do with Myself... why is it getting so difficult for me to keep the distance from her... what if I loose control and hug her or kiss her again..." he pushed his hair back with his palms and closed his eyes.

........

Melanie was sketching something on her sketch pad when she heard someone greeting her.

"Good morning Mel darling... how are you... missed me..."

Melanie turned and have a fake smile to the person who greeted her.

"Soha... what are you doing here... I thought I told you not to come till the venture is ready and till your works starts...." Soha is one of the least favorite person of Melanie.

Melanie only tolerates Soha because of Manik.

Ignoring Mel's sarcasm Soha gave a forceful hug to Mel and said.
"Manik asked me to come to the office..." she waved her hand in front of her showing off her new dress.

"Where did you meet him..." Melanie didn't wanted to know but she asked.

"You know Mel.... how Manik and mine relationship is very special... we are more than friends... he takes special care for me..." she was exaggerating the conversation.

"Hey Mel.... how's it going sweetheart..." Soha's conversation was disturbed by Dhruv's voice.

He came and gave a hug to Mel..
"You saved me honey..," Melanie whispered in Dhruv's ears..

Dhruv smiled and turned to look at Soha...
"Soha you are here.... so early..." he too gave a not so inviting look to her.

But nothing effects Soha.
"You were there Saturday night when Manik invited me here.... right Dhruv..." she was just insisting on Manik's calling her to the company.

"Maybe he was not thinking properly that night...." Dhruv said softly but still she heard her. Melanie giggled on Dhruv's comment.

"What do you mean..." Soha makes a face.
"Means...  Manik takes a very good care of his staff... and you are our head model and show stopper... of course he will make you feel special... that's how he is... doesn't mean that you and him have something... clear it from your head honey.... and come out of your dreamland...," Melanie tried to explain her but she don't want to understand.

"Good morning everyone... so all are here.... that's good..." they all turned towards Manik's voice when he came to them with Nandini and Kathy.

"Manik... so good to see you..." before anyone can say anything, Soha gave him an unwanted hug in front of everyone smashing herself on to Manik and framing her long arms around his neck.

Manik's gaze lifted to Nandini first to see her expressions. By the look of it Nandini didn't like the way she clinged to him. So she turned her face away from him.

Manik removed Soha's arms from him and pushed her politely away from him.

"Good morning to you too Soha.... yes good to see you too... but this is office... so can you please stay in your limits..." he asked her politely.

"Oh ho..." Soha acted as if she was shying. "I couldn't control myself seeing you..." she saw Nandini and made another attempt to show people that she is really a special person to Manik.

"When you asked me to come and meet me in the office Saturday night... remember when we met in the night club..." she insisted on the night club part. "I was so excited that I couldn't sleep properly since then..." she said.

"Yes I remember... and we will talk about it later... but first let me introduce you to ms Nandini Mathur, our new assistant designer... she is on probation for few weeks... then she will join you Mel as your assistant..." said Manik reading Nandini's face.

"Are you sure Manik.... is she really a designer... I thought she came here to work as a model...." Melanie came forward and go around her to take a good look at her.

"She is such a doll... her skin is like  porcelain spotless and bright..." Mel continued and raised her hand to Nandini.
"Welcome abroad darling... " Mel said. "I'm Melanie Singh.... you can call me Mel or MS.... these two hotshots calls me Mel or MS sometimes...." she pointed to Manik and Dhruv and said.

"But The only people who I like calls me that... and... " she looked at her with a cheerful face and said.
"I think I already started liking you..."

"Oh thank you so much ms Melanie... I mean Mel... I really appreciate the warm welcome... I will try to do my job up to the mark..." Nandini shook her hand with excitement.

"Mel dear... that's enough of the introduction..." Manik said with an attitude in his tone.

Nandini went to meet Dhruv... and Melanie walked by his side and leaning on his shoulders she said.
"Ohh so this was the reason your aura was shining more the other day.... I can smell love blooming around...."

He coughed all of a sudden....and clearing his throat he said.
"What.... noo... there's no such thing like that....and she is just an employee..."

"Umm hmm... sweetheart... are you clearing it to me or to yourself..." Melanie can study Manik like an open book. She can read his facial expressions very clearly. She loves him and Dhruv so much that she can do anything for their happiness.

Dhruv walked closer to Nandini and gives her a hand.
"So you are uncle Mathur's daughter.. umm gorgeous..." he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

She tried pulling her hand away but Dhruv was holding it tight which was not gone unnoticed by Manik.

Dhruv saw the glare in his brothers eyes and ignored it.
"Well she is not here for modeling... but she is here for working as an assistant designer...."

"But bhai...she is so beautiful that she can be a model...." Dhruv exaggerated more...

"I told you already Dhruv... she is not here for modeling..."Manik  cut him off abruptly.

Nandini noticed that Manik came close to her and stand by her.
She pulled her hand away again and this time Dhruv didn't insisted.

Manik moved more closer to her purposefully so that she can move away from Dhruv.

Melanie is watching each and every move of Manik.

Nandini didn't understand why Manik is being so possessive and protective of her.

"You can go ahead and take a look at the whole department with Mel... I mean Melanie... so that you can familiarize yourself with the kind of work we do...." Manik said signaling Melanie to show her the things.

"Mel honey can you show her around... so that I can have a word with my little brother..."Manik said holding Dhruv's arm.

"I can be a big help too bhai... I can explain her more too..," Dhruv wanted to go after them but Manik stopped him by pulling his arm.

"Why not Manik... it will be my pleasure...." Melanie gave a look to Manik to let him know that 'told you so' before she walked away.

"Soha you can go with them too... you can both know each other well at the same time..." Manik said.

Soha nodded her head and gone with them. 

Nandini looked over her shoulder to see that Manik was saying something to Dhruv very softly but he seems a bit annoying by Dhruv's behavior.

Manik glowered on his brother while Dhruv laughed on his big brother's insecurities. Manik pulled him on the side and held him by his neck.

Dhruv was still laughing and dodging his punches moving away from Manik.

When Nandini and Melanie returns with Kathy and Soha,  Manik's expressions was still stiff and Dhruv has a wide grin on his face.

"If we are done here then you can come to my office... I have other work lined up for you...." Manik said in a stiff tone glaring at her.

"And Mel I have to discuss the new project with you about the designs and the color combinations.... whenever you are free can you please come to my office..." he said not moving his strong glare away from Nandini.

Melanie nodded her head very surprised by his behavior towards Nandini.

Manik turned and was leaving when he heard Dhruv's voice again.

"It's very nice to meet you gorgeous... think about my proposal of trying your hand on modeling...." before Nandini leaves Dhruv came beside her and flirts with her.

Nandini was also playing along with him. She didn't know what was the deal between these two brothers but she found Dhruv friendly and jovial. At least not as arrogant and hard hearted as his older brother Mr. Manik Malhotra.

"Dhruv we have work to do... unlike you who do not take anything serious..." Manik gritted his teeth not liking the way Nandini and Dhruv being understanding towards each other.

"Oooo someone is fuming with jealousy... you should go before this company gets on fire...." Dhruv whispers... but loudly so that everyone can hear.

Nandini giggled on his comment and followed Manik. But she was late because the elevator doors closed and he was gone.

"Khadoos.., that's what Navya calls all the men when they act like this..... fits perfectly on him..." Nandini blabbers and took stairs for her destination.

.........

He slams the door of his office and paced the room with anger... jealousy.... frustration.... and also restlessness...

"How can she act so immature with Dhruv.... didn't she see that he was flirting with her... or maybe I'm just overreacting..." he was mumbling to himself.
"Damn... I'm letting her effects me so much... I shouldn't do that....I have to concentrate on my work..." his thoughts and mumbling was disturbed by a knock on the door...

"Yes come in..." he said in a blank tone.
She came in and stands in front of his desk opposite to him bending her head down.
"Yes sir..." she asked like an obedient person.

"Do you always gets free with everyone so easily..." he asked randomly.

"Excuse me... what do you mean by that..." she was surprised by his question. She was still looking down.

'What am I saying..' he thought.
"I mean to say is do you always gets comfortable with anyone in the first meeting..." he asked again.

'Why is he being so crappy...' she thought.
"Well if the opposite person welcomes you with a warm smile and makes you comfortable in a new place than of course it's the humble courtesy to be nice with them...." She answered.
"Unlike some people who just knows how to be rude and bossy all the time..." she flared her nose and gave the answer again.

"If your point is towards me than let me tell you... I am your boss... and I'm here to work and I want all my staff to work sincerely..." he said straight forwardly.

"I'm here to work too... but people can be nice and humble too when they are working..." she was also giving the answers sarcastically exactly like him.

"And I didn't say anything to you... I was just talking generally..." their bickering was not coming to an end.

"You can't waste time talking and having fun here other than work..." he said.

"What do you mean..." she was loosing her control by his constant torturing words.

'What's up with him today. Is he always like this...' she thinks.

"You were letting others effect you so much that you forgot where you were..." he walked around the table and came in front of her.

"No I was not... I was just answering Mr. Dhruv and just exchanging the conversation..." she is getting very annoyed and frustrated by his taunts.

"Really... that's how you talk... smiling and holding hands.." he is crossing the limits now.

"Huh... what are you trying to say Mr. Malhotra... that I was flirting with him..." she was almost at the verge of crying.

"You are saying yourself... I didn't say anything..." he mocked her with a smirk and regrets what he just said.

'Why am I being such a dumb head, what am I doing..' he thought.

"I really pity that girl who will be your girlfriend or wife... how will she even tolerate you..." she said blinking off her tears that was ready to fall.

"So you were saying that whoever is the lucky girl who will fall in love with me will regret... that she falls for me..."

Where's the conversation going.

"Yes.... that's exactly what I am saying....coz it will be the last day of my life if I fall for you....I will not let me fall for you. If you are thinking this then you are wrong.." she straightened herself and was about to turn to leave the office. The conversation was going way out of line.

"Really now..." he grabbed her wrist in a flash and hauled her closer with pinning her hand at her own back.

"then maybe this will remind you something..."he pulled her with a jerk until their bodies pressed against each other and his head lowered sealing her lips with his.

His kiss was thrilling and dangerously passionate.
With the building desires inside both of their bodies, a moan escapes her mouth under his.
That gave way to him to lean in more towards her that she was pressed sandwiched between the door and him.

The bickering and arguing came to a halt by the closeness they felt with each other's body heat.

She stopped resisting to the heat and strength of him and catches herself to opens her mouth to his demanding kisses. She lossens her hands from his grip  lifted up to roam over his sculpted muscles of his torso. His tongue slips inside and they both started dueling to dominate each other.

His hand travels slipping  beaneath her top and his manly fingers glided over her skin feeling and caressing her soft and silky skin.

Before his fingers travels more upwards to grab the piece of the thing he desires to hold, they were disturbed by a knock on the door.

They pulled away from each other with a jerk. And looked here and there.

The knock came again. He straightens himself and opened the door. Cabir barge in.

"Since when did you started locking the door Manik.... you are acting differently...." his speech halted in the middle as soon as he saw Nandini's bending down figure...

"Cabir .... this is ms Nandini... the girl was talking about..." Manik introduced her to him avoiding all the confusion that's rising in Cabir's eyes.

"Ohh... so this is Nandini... nice to meet you... ms Nandini..." Cabir forwards his hand to her. She was standing with her head down... thankfully her long and silky hair was covering half of her face to block her swollen lips and red face.

"Excuse me..." Nandini could only said that before she ran out of the office saving her dear life.

"What was that..." Cabir asked looking at the door and bringing his gaze back at Manik.

Manik didn't answer him and went to his chair to sit.
"Manik I'm asking something... what's going on here..." Cabir asked again getting irritated.
Again Manik was saved by the knock on the door.
"Can I come in Manik..." it was Melanie.

"You called me to discuss about the the details of the new venture..." Melanie said walking in and setting herself beside Cabir.

Cabir was looking at Manik and then to Melanie.
"Hey Mel... how's it going..," Cabir said leaning to her and gave a kiss on her cheek.

"I'm perfectly alright... how about you sweetheart..." she asked.

"I'm fine... but what happened here... what's going on..." Cabir is still blank about Manik's strange behavior.

"I think I have an idea what's going on here...but I don't want to jump to the conclusions so early..." Melanie watched Nandini ran out of his office and then noticed Manik and waited for his reaction.

"Excuse me guys... I'll be right back... and Mel I will come to your office to have our discussion later this afternoon..." Manik got up and was going to reach the door when Cabir got up too..."

"Manik listen... I'm coming too... I've to talk something very important..." he turned to Mel and said.

"I'll see you later Mel..."

"Bye bye... I guess everyone is in a hurry... no one has time for me..." Melanie said dramatically.

.........

Coming out from Manik's office Nandini went straight to the restroom grabbing her purse from her table without giving any heed to anyone.

Kathy watched her carefully but she couldn't figure anything out.

Closing the door of the restroom and bolting it to lock. She leaned her back to the door and held her hands to her heart.

Her eyes became watery...
"How can he kiss me all the time... and how can I let him kiss me... why am I so much drawn to him... he didn't even know my real identity... this is wrong.... this is so wrong..."
she was talking to herself.

"I can't work here... I'm not going to work here anymore.... I don't know where this is leading... but this has to stop..." she didn't know when her tears started falling on her cheeks.

She wiped it off by her sleeves and went near the sink. She splashed water on her face and wiped it off. She took a look at her face clearly in the mirror.

Her lips were swollen, her face flushed with the closeness of Manik Malhotra. Her hair was a little messy. Her eyes red.

Seeing herself in the mirror the kiss revolves in her head. She opened her purse and took out some makeup things and gave herself a touch up. Applied some lipgloss and straightening herself she came out of the washroom.

She went to Kathy and said.
"Kathy if I don't have any work right now... can I take my lunch break..."

Kathy checked her appointment pad and said
"Mr. Malhotra didn't have any orders yet.... you can go....but be back in an hour..." she answered.

Nandini hurried to the elevator fast and was ready to go out of the building.

.......

Manik came out of the office and asked Kathy.
"Where is ms Nandini..."
"She went for her lunch break..." Kathy answered.

Without saying anything else he too walked to the elevator.

......

Nandini took out her phone and called Navya coming out of the building ....

"Hello Nandu.... how are you honey.." Navya said from the other side.

"Navya I'm coming to pick you up..." Nandini said.
"What's going on are you okay..." Navya asked with worry.
"Yes everything is fine.. I'm hungry... I didn't eat anything since morning and more than half of the day has gone and I still don't have anything in my tummy.... and now don't ask too many questions I'll be there in ten minutes..."

And before hearing Navya's answer she hang up the phone.

........

Both Navya and Nandini where sitting in a restaurant waiting for their food to arrive. It's a very decent Westin restaurant on the Michigan avenue.

"Now speak..." Navya asked casually.
Nandini didn't get surprised by Navya's determination that she is sure something is wrong with her.

"I don't think I can work here anymore..." she gave her decision to Navya.

"Why what happened..." Navya got worried.
"I don't know... I don't think this is right.... first of all they don't know my real identity and then today as I was introduced to the staff by that other girls name.... it doesn't feel right to me...." Nandini has to give some explanation about her weird behavior so she comes up with this one. Which is valid also.

"But Nandu... what will we tell aunty Annie.... can't you just drag for few more days... in the meanwhile you can look for another job..." Navya sounds sensible right now.

But after what's happening in between her and Manik she don't want to go near him again. It's not that she do not like him or his closeness or his being intimate with her.... it's just that she don't want to take anything more further with a wrong identity.

"Wow Nandini look..." Navya interrupted her thoughts.
Nandini turned to the direction Navya was showing and opened her mouth wide.

"What the...." she turned back.
"Why do they have to choose the same restaurant..." she mumbles to herself.

"You know them..." Navya asked.
"The tall one is my boss and the other one is Cabir...I don't know who he is..." replied Nandini.

"Nandu they are coming in our direction..." Navya bend her head and said.

"Just ignore them..." Nandini said not turning around.

But to their luck or not they came to a stop near their table.
"I guess you are ms Nandini... we were never introduced properly in the office...." Nandini lift her head to see Manik's eyes bored into her face.

"Tou yeh hai woh ladki jisne Manik ke top portion ko hila ke rakha hua hai..." Cabir mumbles to himself. When he talks to himself he talks on Hindi because Manik do not understand the language clearly.

She turned her face to Cabir and smiled.
"Yes I'm ms Nandini... I'm so sorry about our earlier meeting... I was not feeling well and I was very hungry that's why I went like that..." Nandini clarified and Cabir said.

"That's totally alright with me.... by the way I'm Cabir... Manik's business partner and partly your boss too... and I'm totally a very cool boss if you are wondering..." he forwards his hand to her and Nandini's within any hesitation grabbed it.

"If you don't mind... can we join you beautiful girls... if you mind then it's fine with us..." Cabir asked permission ignoring Manik's uneasiness.

"By all means... we will not mind at all..." Nandini didn't know why she was being so open with Cabir.

Maybe because in this whole day he is the first one who bring a cool breeze of air after the heated confrontation she had with Manik.

They both settled opposite sides of the girls.
"And who might you be..." Cabir asked Navya.

"She is my friend Navya....." Nandini said before they revealed the truth about themselves.
Navya didn't say anything.
"Your face is very familiar... I think I've seen you somewhere..." Cabir said.

Manik smiled at Cabir's old fashioned line which he used on every other girl.

Manik looked for Nandini in the building... when he didn't find her he came out of the building to take fresh air. Cabir was following him so he asked Manik  to accompany him for lunch. That's how they end up in this restaurant which happens to be Cabir's favorite.

Navya didn't answer to Cabir's question.
"Do you talk..." Cabir is getting more curious now.
"I don't talk to strangers..." Navya said with a straight face.

"But we are not are not strangers anymore... I'm your friends boss so In a way... you know me now..." Cabir clarified.

"You are Nandini's boss not mine... I'm not bound to talk to you... and for your information I didn't see you or meet you before.... that old fashioned line of yours.... you can try on someone else..." Navya gave a long speech.

"Wo wo.... dude.... I'm impressed... I'm really impressed..." Cabir said.
"We can be very good friends...." Cabir said again.

" I'm not your dude and I'm not interested in your friendship either..." Navya answers.

The whole time Manik was finding a way to talk to Nandini. The thing that happened in his office was way beyond his expectations. He crossed the line this time.

She too responds back to him but still he wants to clarify that he didn't regretted that he kissed her, but he still wanted to make sure that if she's ok.

Nandin was ignoring him constantly. And avoiding making any eye contact with him. Maybe Cabir can help.

"Nandini I'm going to the restroom... I'll be right back..." Navya got up from her chair and walked away.

"Manik let me check with the manager... he's my friend too... I'll just come..." Cabir got up and walked away too.

Manik thought that he got an opportunity to clarify the things.

"Umm... actually..." when he speaks, Nandini lift her face to see him. His eyes were on her face. She  bend her face down again not able to meet his gaze.

"Actually.... I'm sorry...." he said at last.
"Sorry..." she repeated him.

"Sorry for my harsh behavior earlier.... but I'm not sorry for kissing you..." he clarified.

She turned red with embarrassment. Her heart race like a jet speed.

"I don't know about you but I enjoyed kissing you... and I won't regret it..." his soft voice turned like a groan which gave a shiver to her. Nandini couldn't look at him now with the shyness and the embarrassment together.

"I hope you don't regret whatever happened between us... of course other than the rifts.." he asked with a mischievous grin.

She was happy that at least he didn't regret that he kissed her. Even she was involved with the kiss. But of course she is not gonna tell him openly like him.

"Nandini you didn't answer..." he asked again leaning on the table to get closer to her.

She was about to say something when Cabir came back...
