Shreya stumbled out of her bed when she heard Charan call for her…
She had been extremely clingy towards both dad-daughter duo from when they got back… and for now, they were patiently going with her whims and staying over. And Shreya still sneaks out at night to work while spending the whole day with them even when she got reprimanded by Charan time and again.
But he had been mindful to let her sleep in since all his scolding seemed to go into deaf ears.
So, she was quite surprised when Charan yelled at her to get out. But her anxiety did not even have time to reach her head as she saw Charan standing in the living room and looking at the security monitors peculiarly.
"What is it?" Shreya asked coming back to stand behind her.
"I don't know… one of your guys just asked me to wake you up and went out…" Charan said. But he could not see anything peculiar in the security monitor… the corridor was empty.
Shreya bunched her unruly hair over the top of her head with a band and walked out saying, "I will go see… it shouldn't be a big deal. This apartment building is mostly housed with our people."
She yawned big as she strolled in her shorts and t-shirt.
She reached the lobby to find the cause of all the trouble.
Two groups of people were having a face-off… two of them she did not know. Shreya instantly recognized Andrew. Even when he was outnumbered, he stood there unrelenting. She knew the confidence probably came from having back up nearby.
And she also knew he probably did not engage and called for her since the opposite party seems to be official.
"Andrew, stand down…" Shreya said as she reached the space between the two groups.
Andrew backed away but he still did not put down his vigilance as he stood close to Shreya.
One of the guys took out an official paper and handed it to Shreya…
"You are summoned by the Prime Minister's office. Please co-operate and come with us!!" The guy said with a detached emotionless voice.
Shreya frowned flipping the papers. Her confused frown did not leave as she extended her hands and asked Andrew, "Phone…"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_52115820985242253">#!_52115820985242253</a> for visiting.
Andrew handed over his phone instantly.
Shreya punched in some numbers and Zack's voice came through after several rings.
"We sent Abishek back in one piece right?" Shreya asked without bothering to greet.
"Yes… I personally saw it. He should be in court right about now for his first hearing…" Zack replied.
"Okay, fine. I will get back to you." Shreya said and hung up.
"Okay… you guys go. I will be there in his office on time…" Shreya said handing back Andrew's phone.
But the guys did not budge…
"We will escort you there…" the guy said stubbornly reaching for Shreya's hands. But it never reached its destination as Andrew held it in his iron grip.
"Guys… can you not make a fuzz here? I just woke up and grumpy! Trust me, you really don't want to make a scene here. People are living here…" Shreya said standing behind Andrew and two other of her guys.
Anyways, she can't just like that follow someone even when they looked official.
The other guy took his phone out and made a call but did not speak. Instead, he gave it to Shreya silently.
Shreya listened to the other end quietly before puffing her cheeks frustrated.
"Okay, fine. I will follow them out. But I am bringing one of my guys with me. Or else, you will not be seeing me today, at all." Shreya replied sternly and handed over the phone back to the guy making it very clear she was not making a request or asking for permissions…
She then turned back to the elevator after instructing Andrew to follow her up and leave someone else in the lobby.
Normally, she might not make such a fuzz about things… but both Charan and Akira were home, so, she was not really going to take any chances here.
Once inside the apartment, she let Andrew wait for her in the living room while she went to the bathroom for a quick shower. When she came out, she saw Akira playing around with Andrew while Charan sat on the living room couch with his laptop.
Charan looked up at her as soon as he heard the doors close behind her.
"Going somewhere…" He asked as he walked up to her.
Shreya checked on her phones and answered him simultaneously, "Yes… I need to go out now. I really don't know what the issue is… so, I am not sure when I will be back. You guys eat your lunch. Don't wait up… I will let you know when I can be back when I get the time. I will leave Andrew here… if you guys want to go out."
She then pecked him on his cheeks and walked towards Akira…
"Baby, come here for a minute." Shreya beckoned. Akira very obediently walked to her. Shreya swatted down and gave her a hug and said, "I am going to go out now… I will be back as soon as I can, okay? You have a good day with your dad…"
Akira nodded her head and pecked on her cheeks before Shreya let go and went to the doors.
Just as she was about to exit, Charan bellowed, "Wait…"
"Car keys…" Charan said dangling her keys and approached her.
"NO, I do not need them. I am going to be 'escorted'." Shreya said waving at him and rolled her eyes sarcastically at her own reference.
Charan frowned but did not ask anything seeing as she seemed to be in a hurry. But he still hugged her and said, "Okay… be safe and get back soon. We will be waiting."
"Don't worry. Srinivas is going to be with me. This shouldn't be an issue either way. Okay, I am getting late. Bye-bye…" Shreya waved at both father-daughter duo and went out without really looking back.
