Chapter 56 - Anti-ignorance potion?

"Ms Kriti, ask John to send Ankit, Abhilasha and Surbhi to Delhi, they will be working with us. Also, ask them to recruit new ones as soon as possible" sitting on her chair in her office which, was same as Vihaan's but smaller in size, Shanaya informed Kriti.

She was wearing Teal ankle-length pants and white shirt inside the teal blazer. Her hair was tied up in a high pony, her favourite Hermes watch on her right hand and white sneaker finishing the look.

And, her fingers were happy wearing the diamond ring she always wears, her favourite ring and three other rings.

Shanaya might not be fond of things a 'girl' wants, but, she was always fond of rings, earrings, watches and shoes. She had never buy any branded bag or something, but she had always buy branded watches.

Yes, she was a complicated person.

The diamond ring she adores, the one on her index finger, she had bought it when she, had received her first salary pay while working for some firm in UK. when she had .

Her office was adjacent to Vihaan's and both of them could see into each other offices by the small glass window that was common to both, but, as usual, they both kept it closed with curtains.

None of them could take the risk of distracting themselves by looking at each other, although none of them knew about each other feelings.

Her office was simple, nothing fancy in it but a single landscape painting behind her chair, a big flower vase at the corner, a five-seater sofa along with two sofa chairs and a wooden table.

A week has passed since the press conference and, Shanaya had started working properly with the help of Kriti. They have not recruit anyone else but, considering the deal, they knew they have to do it as soon as possible.

They were not in the mood of ruining their business with 'The Rathore's.'

Shanaya had not met Singhania yet, but, within a week Vihaan was supposed to have a meeting with him. And being his partner for Singhania's deal, Shanaya was asked by Vihaan's PA Erina to accompany him.

Shanaya was excited to meet Mr Singhania, for she had heard a lot about him and knew he was not just some name, he was a 'trust', trust they too needed from the people.

"I informed John" hanging up the phone and telling Shanaya Ms kriti looked at Shanaya to see her getting her blazer from the stand and enquired "Are you going somewhere?"

Wearing the blazer, adjusting her hair, Shanaya grabbed her phone from the table and looking at Kriti, answered: " Yes, Kriti, Avni dee is coming home."

"Should I order dinner for you?"

"Nopes Kriti, it's almost six in the evening. I will be late after meeting dee."

"Hey! What a surprise!" surprised, she took a minute looking at him and later moved forward to hug him. Hugging him for a minute, she broke the hug and smiled.

"It's good to see you too, babes" replying sarcastically with a smirk, Saaransh walked inside Shanaya's office and gave a look at it.

"I am just surprised to see you and no doubt happyyy" moving toward him, Shanaya gestured him to sit down on the sofa and sat down to his right on the sofa chair and asked " Anything for you? Water, coffee?"

She laughed when she heard him replying"Maybe some anti ignorance potion" and spoke " What's wrong with you? In a bad mood?"

The Person sitting in front of her was not the Saaransh she knew.

"Something is wrong with me? Really baby! I have not received a single text or call from you for the last fifteen days and, you are saying, something is wrong with me!" looking at her with hurtful expressions, Saaransh took a sip from the water Kriti gave to him.

Closing her eyes in a pang of guilt, Shanaya signalled Kriti to leave and spoke when they were alone" I am really really sorry Saaransh, I was just damn busy with the new things in my life and I hardly got time for myself, so I just forgot to call you."

She continued when she saw the dissatisfied expression on Saaransh" I know these are excuses but trust me, I actually was busy. You know you are, important to me, Saaransh and, I would hardly do anything to hurt you."

"Relax, Shana, I was kidding" chuckling, Saaransh passed a dashing smile at her and continued" By the way, it felt good to hear I am an important person for you."

Punching him hard at his arms, Shana narrowed his eyes at him and stood up to move back to her chair. Sitting down on it, she spoke:" Are you done, Mr Saaransh Bharadhwaj?"

He was about to reply when they both heard a knock and a second later Vihaan emerged from the door.

Shanaya breath hitched looking at him and, immediately she averts her eyes before they would reveal anything. "Damn it! Why he is so beautiful!" speaking to herself, she did not look at him or Saaransh and pretended to be busy with her phone.

That was the first time he had come inside her office and, she felt her office shrinking in his presence. Her chair was biting her for sitting on it and ignoring the aura of the handsome man. However, she remains seated on it but, her ears alerted for his voice and, her body rejoiced in joy when she heard Vihaan speaking" I heard from Erina you came, Saar."

The moment she heard him saying 'Saar', she wanted to interrupt him to say "He is not Saar" but, she did not.

She damn very well knew he called him 'Saar' on purpose and her body urged her to kick him down there for picking up on her, but she knew very well she could not do anything.

She took a long breath and lift her eyes to focus on Saaransh, trying to ignore the blurred image of Vihaan which, she was seeing from the side of her left eye.
