10 You look Pretty

Susan was standing near one of the paintings, chatting to a boy. As Sofya drew closer, she squealed, " Sis, look who's here! It's -- "

She faltered in her speech as her eyes landed on Advay. " What are you doing here? " She snapped, her black eyes burning as if she would devour him once and for all.

Advay stared back at her.

In the corner of the room, Arnav was drinking. His friend, Nina was also there accompanying him. She was eyeing Sofya for a long time, noticing how guys kept gawking at her. Her personal vendetta against Sofya did nothing to lessen her anger.

Nina was the only daughter of Mr. Saltzman, an industrialist who was well reputed in construction business. Saltzman Constructions and Raizada Holdings Corporations had done deals & partnerships for almost two decades, so Arnav and Nina had known each other since childhood.

From Nina's point of view, Arnav was something of a boyfriend to him. Since she was a single child and heir apparent, her father never denied any of her requests, however unreasonable they were. She was sure that when she expressed her true feelings for Arnav, he would readily accept her.

She was wearing a skimpy red coloured dress which barely covered her thighs, had on extra sparkling jewellery worth 1 million and the makeup was just horrible.

She tapped Arnav lightly on the hand.

" Say, Miss Sofya is looking quite pretty tonight. Isn't she? "

Arnav lifted his head and looked at Sofya. She indeed looked pretty without any effort at all.

Unable to control his heart any longer, he stood up and went over.

For some reason, Susan was glaring at Advay, who was shaking his head and Sofya was looking at a complete lost, unable to understand what to say.

" Hello, future wife! " Arnav said huskily, wrapping his hand around her waist and pulling her close into his side. Both Advay & Susan looked in shock.

Sofya stiffened. As soon Arnav's hand made contact with her skin, she could feel electricity surge through her entire body. Before she could react, Arnav who was at least a head taller than her, leant in to whisper in her ear, " You look pretty tonight. "

This sent her into a frenzy. Suddenly she realized her heart was beating faster than usual. Though they were wearing clothes, she could feel his very developed body and muscles. This was a given since he was the ' most eligible bachelor ' of NY.

" But it's not for me, is it? "
