'Are you like checking me out?', Anika asked him in quite a sexy manner.

Shivaay forgot to blink at the moment. Anika's words didn't enter his ears. All he knows that Anika is saying something but what she's saying is incomprehensible.

'Huh?', Shivaay asked while still being lost at her beauty.

'I asked whether you're checking me out?', Anika repeated.

'Hmmm!', he nodded in agreement mindlessly still not being able to register her question.

'Oh! So now you agree that I'm hot and bold right Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi?', she asked him again.

Shivaay hummed again making Anika go all delighted.

'Yesssss!!!', she screamed out excitedly. 'You loose! You loose!!!', she started celebrating her victory.

Shivaay finally snapped out of his thoughts and wondered what's going on around him.

'Wait! What? What's going on here?', Shivaay asked her not being able to comprehend the situation.

Anika gave him the side sarcastic look and coldly answered him ,'You just agreed that I look hot and bold', she added her victorious smile.

'I??? Agreed that you're hot and bold? No way!!!', Shivaay replied with a smirk.

'What no way? You just agreed a few minutes ago when I asked you... you even agreed that you were checking me out! Such a liar you are!', she rebuked.

'I never agreed to your fantasy that you're hot and bold. And for your kind information, I would never check you out!', he lied again.

'You're lying again!!! You were so lost in me just a few minutes ago! You were checking me out! Agree to it!', she stood firm.

'Oh! Okay! So you what me to agree that I checked you out?', he asked her with a mischevious smile.

'Yes!', she replied hastily in anger and realized what she had just spilled a while later. 'No! I didn't mean it the way you think. What I meant was to just simply accept the fact! That's it!', she explained.

'How do you know in what way I'm thinking, huh?', he asked her while approaching her. Anika took steps backwards as Shivaay took steps forward. Anika's back hit the wall and Shivaay placed his right hand on the wall, half-pinning her to it. Anika began to feel nervous. Butterflies came alive in her tummy. She couldn't think of anything at that time.

'I... I... errr... urrrm... I don't know what you're talking about! These are the paperworks for the meeting in a while with AR industries. I'm leaving!', she said, hand over a few files to him and was about to go when he held her back by her right wrist.

Anika was super-shocked by this. She didn't turn around. Her breathing has gone irregular and shivers run through her spine. Shivaay approached her. He stopped at the distance when he's close enough to back hug her.

'You're hot and bold! I was just messing around with you yesterday. Now stop messing around with me!', he whispered near her ears. Anika closed her eyes as his warm breath simply gave chills by her ear.

Shivaay smirked realizing the effect his proximity creates on her. He then let's her go. She opened her eyes and turn to find a smiling Shivaay. She smiled back at him and left his cabin.

(P.S. I know I've used this picture before as well... I love this so much that I keep on using it... you may find it in the upcoming chapters as well)

Anika came out of his cabin smilingly. Om and Gauri saw this from their hiding spot.

'She's smiling... more like blushing I think!', Om said.

'I can say for sure it's blushing!', Gauri confirms.

'How can you be so sure?', Om asked her.

'Because I'm a girl and I'm Gauri Kumari Sharma! I know everything!', Gauri replied.

'Yes, you do know everything except for what I feel for you!', he muttered under his breath.

'Huh? What did you say?', she asked him.

'Nothing!', he shooked his head. 'So, now what?', he asked.

'Now? Now is Mallika's turn. We need to focus on our job as well right Om Sir?', she replied.

'Yeap! Just update the current status in the group. Let the others know the latest update!', he instructed her. Then they both left to their workplace.

A few hours later, Anika and Shivaay were in the conference room waiting for the representative from AR industries. While waiting, Shivaay stole glances from Anika who was checking the legal documents for one last time. Just then, they heard a knock on the door. Shivaay stood up and said come in.

A guy, with a good height, nearly 6 feet tall, muscular body with a definite 6-packs, quite long but neat hair with a finely managed beard and moustache entered with a huge smile on his face.

(SURPRISE AMYRA!!!)

Shivaay was quite astonished to look at him. And how his appearance were strikingly mirroring Anika's Mr.Perfect.

'Hi! My name is Advay Singh Raizada. I'm the representative from AR industries. And you must be Shivaay Singh Oberoi right?', he asked. Shivaay nodded and pulled his hand out for a handshake but Advay just went on to hug him. He then broke the hug and saw a smiling Anika next to Shivaay.

'And... may I know your name Senyorita?', he asked while taking her right hand in his.

'Anika!', she uttered while smiling.

'Unique name! Just like you I must say!', he then went ahead and kissed her hand. Anika was shocked but it was a pleasant shock. She smiled back for a reaction with a little blush as well.

One soul was burning in jealousy to be watching this. Yes, it's our jalkukda Shivaay. He got shocked to find her reacting like that to him. He was extremely furious. But, he couldn't potray any of the emotions hence, he just concealed all of them within.

PRECAP: 'Goa it is then!', Team Shivika gets excited.
