We looked at the watch and it was already 10:30 AM by the time we were done, we decided to wait in our room till the car arrives to pick us up. We were going towards elevator when we met Laksh and two of the participants from his team.

Laksh smirked on us and we ignored him, just as we were about to enter the elevator he commented.

"Well it must feel great screwing the owner of the company and then keep pretending to survive on your own." Laksh said and I tried to ignore him but Leena couldn't.

"Oh yes, and it must be great not doing anything and still pretend to be very hardworking and then heartbroken when it isn't fruitful." Leena barked at him and his expression changed to a grim one.

Thankfully we reached the ground floor and the elevator door opened. We quickly moved out and met Anuj at the reception who escorted us out to the car which was supposed to take us to Abhishree.

When we reached Abhishree there were a lot of reporters present there already.

Jeet and Shreyas were already seated along with their head of PR. We took our seats beside them.

"Hello and thank you to all of you to come here on such a short notice. We as representatives of Abhishree want to clarify the doubts you all have. Regarding the photographs that are leaked this morning, they were clicked deliberately at a wrong angle to make it look like something is going on in between the people in the photographs. You all are smart reporters and I am sure you know better. We do have few samples from the launch party, the same photographs being clicked at different angle were in news sometime back. We have sent the photographs to you all please take a look and decide before giving people a gossip peace." The head PR said and just then most reporters were checking their phones, whispering and nodding something.

"For all the allegations that have been put on my boss Mr. Abhijeet Khurana and the leading choreographer Miss Trisha Talwar, we have both of them here to answer your questions but I want to request you all to not ask or pass any derogatory questions or comments since we are talking about two very reputed people that too based on some wrong information." The PR heard said and took his seat.

There was an uproar among the reporters after he sat down and the reporters were trying to ask questions altogether.

"Hello everyone, I am Abijeet Khurana and I will be answering all your questions one by one so please be patient and ask whatever you want to ask." Jeet said with a smile.

"Sir What is your relationship with Miss Trisha? Are you two having an affair?" One reported asked. Jeet smiled at her and looked at me for a fraction of a second before replying.

"Well we are childhood friends who got in touch with each other after long time when we met her to talk about the show." He replied.

"Miss Trisha, is your close relationship with Mr. Khurana the reason for your success in the show?" Another reporter asked.

"Well my success in the show has nothing to do with the fact that I and Mr. Khurana are childhood friends. If you have seen the format of the show closely, everything happens live and the voting too happens live. The public votes based on our live performances and it has nothing to do with the crew or judges. We work hard to make sure each of our team's performance is the best effort put in. For that we work couple weeks in advance like we have not only tonight's performances planned but our team has the performances planned for next week too. Even though I am here my team is still practicing." I replied with a smile.

"Just to add to that, if anyone had doubt on the show's voting pattern, you are cordially invited to our shoot tonight to see for yourself how the live voting works." Shreyas said.

"Then what about the photos? You both have been seen together dancing closely and then early in the morning cozying up in a hotel room." Another one asked.

"Well the photo doesn't say it was a hotel room, did it? Has anyone of you seen us in the hotel room together?" Jeet asked domineeringly and the reporter didn't utter a word again.

Leena smiled like an idiot looking at me.

"Trisha Mam what will your team's theme for tonight's show?" someone asked.

"Well for that you have to wait till tonight and please do watch the show and vote for the performances you like." I said politely with a smile.

"I am afraid we are out of time but I hope now all your doubts are cleared." The PR head said and we all got up from our seats to leave.

Jeet and I decided to lay low for next few weeks in order to not create any more headlines.

The next few weeks we both were busy in our work. I was working hard along with Leena and my team since the competition got tougher with each passing week.
