They were taken in straightaway to his temporary cabin that was set up for him for this short time.
"ASR, your first meeting will take place in half an hour. The other one will follow soon. Till then I've adjusted all the needed project files. You can go trough them and check everything." Rocky informed him about his meetings schedule and what was important for him.
"Ok. In the meanwhile, you arrange the sales and figures files I asked you to." Arnav put in order but Mr. Stone was an exemplary employee. He wasn't the executive director for nothing.
"Already on work!" He proudly announced in front of his boss.
Arnav nodded and took a file to go through it. Khushi had taken seat on the couch and was getting bored already. She just watched him with pouted that was being noticed by Rocky before going out.
"Erm...Mrs. Raizada..." He asked all lovely with a smile to get attention from both Raizadas in that cabin.
"If you want, I can show you our office while ASR is busy." He asked looking at her.
Arnav was about to deny but Khushi stood up and spoke before him.
"Arnavji, I'm really getting bored. So I think I'll go with him." She wasn't sure if she was telling or asking him and stood there till he then nodded with a blink. She was wearing a dress and legs were exposed so he didn't want her to roam around in the office without him but agreed for her.
She moved outside and Rocky started telling her about the building. About the architecture, its design and color choice, etc. But he didn't miss to notice that this even wasn't that exciting for her. She was just nodding and following him around.
"Mrs. Raizada, what happened? Is my speech boring?" He chuckled in order to make her laugh a bit but in vain. She only faked a smile and shook her head in denial.
"Hmm, seems like you're missing your husbands company." Again an attempt that went in vain. She only pouted and didn't utter a word.
He shrugged his shoulders and turned to continue his little tour that was not less boring for Mrs. ASR.
"I should've stayed in that hotel. There I could've eaten anything and slept. It would've been better than getting bored here." She muttered to herself in her Hindi not knowing someone could understand her.
"So you're hungry. But then just tell me." He answered in English but Khushi stared him wondering.
"You understood me?" She asked in Hindi to confirm he got that.
"Yes, I can understand and speak Hindi. My mother is an Indian." He said with a smile. That echoed like a melodious song in her ears.
"That's very good." She patted him in mind for that. Did she need anything else? Now she could speak without any hesitance.
"If you're hungry then there's a restaurant here. Shall we?" He asked politely in Hindi and she smiled in excitement.
"Of course. Finally, I've got what I needed. You can speak Hindi and I'll have something to eat." She laughed at her own statement and joined in.
"By the way, Rockyji, is there any Indian restaurant here? I'm missing that spicy food and sweet desserts." He looked at her while she folded her hands together dreaming of her Jalebis. He found her already beautiful and attractive at the first time. ASR was really lucky he thought.
"Of course! There is one, some streets away. So shall we?"
She nodded and followed him still having those sweets in front of her eyes.
"Here are your Samoses with Chanas and Lassi. And these are your Pakores and Rooh Afza. I'll bring the Jalebis and Laddoos soon." The waiter brought the meal and left with a grin.
"Hmm, yummy!" She moaned seeing that tasty food curving a 1000 Watt leer.
"Such a pity, Arnavji has to work." She pouted wanting him with her. It would've been fun.
"He is the owner of AR empire, so it was to foresee. You should've thought about that before marrying him." He joked causing her to remember all those sweet encounters before their marriage.
"But then he always found time to remind me of my status and challenge me there and then." She muttered under her breath laughing silently.
"Sorry, what did you say?" He asked as he heard her whisper but didn't understand it.
"He always spends time with me. Well, mostly. It's not that he can always just divert himself to me and neglect his work." She spoke in her husbands favor to make Rocky fake a smile and lower his head.
"But I have to say, ASR's really enviable. He has an fashion empire in such a young age already and to top it, a very beautiful and sexy wife." He huskily complimented her whereas her smile faded away as she looked here and there uncomfortably and brought her open hairs in the front to cover herself.
Then was it, that she noticed some men watching her shamelessly. She lowered her eyes feeling insecure.
Arnav attended his first meeting and it didn't last that much time as expected and they were finished with that. As the clients left the meeting room he was sitting there going through his laptop.
"Get Mr. Stone here. Tell him to bring-" He ordered to the employees present there and was about to order for more when a girl said in between.
"ASR, he's not here. He's out with Mrs. Raizada."
"What? Khushi?" He looked up and asked in order to confirm what he heard.
"He's out with Khushi?" He again inquired as she nodded with a hidden smirk.
That Rocky Stone was out with his Khushi? How dare he? He felt like tore that swine apart then and there. And how could she go out with him. Why didn't she deny? Well, he must've convinced her somehow. She is really innocent and naive. And moreover, she's always ready to go out and roam around.
He closed his laptop and stood up to rush out and look for his Khushi.
"We should leave now. Arnavji must be wondering where I am." She requested feeling restless.
"But he must be in the meeting at this time. So he's anyway busy, you will get bored again only." He checked the time on his wrist watch and declared.
"It's ok. I'll wait for him there. But please, let's go." She replied calmly yet trying to keep the smile on her face.
"Are you scared?" But there even her fake smile dropped at his question and she looked at him bewildred.
"Are you scared of him? I mean that he might be angry cause you're out with me?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, I'm not asking to go back because of that but-" She tried to clear it but was interrupted.
"Don't let him rule you. It's not love when you're scared of him. Don't let him dominate you." He advised smiling and put his hand on hers or better say tried to. She noticed his act and immediately put her hand away.
"Excuse me? I'm nice to you that doesn't mean you can say and do anything. Arnavji and I love each other a lot and-" She stood up and was to set it clear but was again cut off by him.
"Oh really? If you love him so much then what are you doing here with me?" He asked sarcastically with a smirk.
She narrowed her eyes looking at him in disgust.
"Look, you're taking me completely wrong. I just came with you as I thought you're a nice person." She said eying him in madness and he dropped his smirk and gulped.
"Erm...ok Mrs. Raizada. I understand." He hesitantly shook his head in approval and stood up.
She was confused at sudden and then followed his eyes. She turned and saw Arnav standing there. Her face leered and she run to him and threw her arms around him hugging him tight.
"Arnavji, thank God you came." She declared in joy.
"What happened Khushi?" He pulled back and cupped her face in worry.
"Did he do anything?" He asked with gritted teeth looking at him in rage.
She turned and looked at him. He eyed her pleading and lightly shook his head. She glared at him warning him and then looked back to Arnav.
"No Arnavji. I was just missing you." She smiled getting pink while he just frowned his brows and shook his head.
"Let's go." He turned holding her waste possessively and glared at Rocky once before going out.
"Who told you to go out with him ha?" He almost shouted at her after coming back in his cabin.
"I'm sorry Arnavji. You were having two meetings and were busy so I thought why not. He can speak Hindi and is half Indian so-" She apologized and tried to explain.
"Khushi, not every Indian or half Indian is like you. What if he had done anything?" He cut her off and declared to clear her view of this lovey dovey world.
"You're here na. You're always there to protect me from every evil eye." She stepped closer blushing and winked wrapping his back with her arms. He responded to her hug and placed a soft kiss on her hairs.
"Always! But don't you dare do that again ok. You don't know how much scared I was and searched here and there for you. And found you in that Indian restaurant. So obviously!" He warned her trying to sound tough but then chuckled at his last line.
"I promise! I won't do it again." She giggled and gave her word seeking peace and solace in his embrace.
