Chapter 293 - ‘I do not have to do it ‘myself’.

And the minute I step out of here… as soon as I can get a phone call. I will end your whole family.

Shreya did not hear anything past that… but that sentence was enough to paralyze her for a second and the next second she flared-up with anger.

At the back of her head, Shreya knew Aleesha a reeling her up… she knew she was doing the same thing she had done to others over the years. She had gotten hold of her weakness and was playing with her emotions like a toy…

But no matter how much Shreya tried to fight it, she was not able to get out of it.

Her whole face scrunched as if she was in immense pain even though nobody laid a finger on her. Her hands fisted and her eyes went red with anguish and anger.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%98i-do-not-have-to-do-it-%E2%80%98myself%E2%80%99._52325329506729773">#%E2%80%98i-do-not-have-to-do-it-%E2%80%98myself%E2%80%99._52325329506729773</a> for visiting.

It took everything in her to not go up to Alisha and not pull a trigger to her head.

"You know… You want someone to beat the ever-living crap out of her, I can do it for you. You do not have to do everything by yourself. I am itching anyways…" Srinivas said walking beside Shreya. He stood in front of Shreya blocking her line of sight to Alisha.

Do it for you… you do not have to do it yourself.

Shreya blinked confused as her mind suddenly went silly.

"What did you just say?" Shreya asked snapping out of her daze.

"I said I can beat her for you since you look beat!!" Srinivas repeated confused. Shreya's emotions seemed to have snapped in seconds which was hard for him to keep up…

"No… that's not what you said… you said, 'I do not have to do it 'myself'." Shreya repeating her words back…

Srinivas's brows frowned as he agreed confused, "Yes… that is what I said even now… at least, that is what I mean…"

Shreya completely ignored everything around her as her brain worked fast trying to catch up to her own thoughts.

When she came out of it, Srinivas was staring at her weirdly as was Alisha… Shreya grinned excitedly. She smooched on Srinivas's cheeks and smiled at him as she said, "Thank you so much… I know what to do now…" She said and went back to the elevators without really giving Alisha a second glance.

Srinivas followed her while Alisha looked stupid for a second. But before she could come out of it, she was left alone all over again.

"God damn it!!" Alisha exclaimed as she punched into the wall pretty hard. She thought she could at least rile Shreya up today… make her do something stupid and get the hell out of here… but nothing happened. Things didn't go as planned.

"What just happened in there?" Srinivas asked confused as he started the car. From the looks of Shreya and from the taunting nature of Alisha, he was pretty sure they were going to have an epic fight scene there… full-on bloody.

"I just suddenly thought of something… we have work to do," Shreya said vaguely. "I need the call the other…" Shreya continued taking out her phone.

"Shreya…" Srinivas called before she could dial.

"What?" Shreya asked confused.

"It's 4 a.m. in the morning!!" Srinivas reminded.

"And that is relevant because?" Shreya asked back.

"That is relevant because, normal people are going to be sleeping at this hour and if you had forgotten, we had a late meeting yesterday night!!" Srinivas answered rolling his eyes.

He had seen her like this more than once… when Shreya focuses on something, her brain goes silly and she forgets just about everything else.

"Oh!!" Shreya realized and she also came to realize because of her even Srinivas did not get to go home and get some sleep.

"In that case… you just drop me in the office and go home… get some sleep and bring everyone to my office sharp at 8 a.m." Shreya relented.

"Nope… not happening. I am dropping you at your apartment. And you are getting some sleep. I will pick you at 8." Srinivas decided on himself as he drove towards her apartment.

"But I still have some pending work to do…" Shreya whined. She had to complete them before tomorrow noon so that she can go pick Akira up from her parents' place.

"You can do them tomorrow…" He answered not really bothering to heed to her.

That resulted in Shreya sulking and puffing her cheeks all the way to her apartment. As silly as she was, she even stomped and left him in the parking lot without waiting for him to park the car and hand her the keys.

Srinivas was really amazed at how childish she can actually be time and again. It was fascinating how she behaves around the people she likes and how she changes into someone completely unrecognizable in front of other people.

He patiently waited for the elevators and buzzed himself into her apartment. Shreya was lying there on the couch with her tablet in her hands playing some game.

"I did not send you home for you to play games, you know?" He asked patiently walking up to her.

"That is why I asked you to take me to the office… I told you I am not sleepy." She replied stubbornly as always.

Srinivas just shook his head.

"Shreya, please get some sleep… you look beat. I will be here sharp at 8." Srinivas relented to ask softly this time around.

If he knew anything about Shreya by now, that is that she never relents to force… and she was as stubborn a person as it can possibly get. So, the only way to convince her would be to be soft with her… and bow down. Otherwise, you are just going to create a hell of a headache for yourself.

And just as he thought, him softening the voice worked like magic as Shreya stood up from the couch. She was still biting and puffing but she still kept her tablet away.

Srinivas couldn't resist himself from smiling as he ruffled her head and bid her goodbye.
