Chapter 294 - She told you!

Shreya walked through the corridors of Charan's office. She looked around curiously taking in the new building.

She had not come here since they shifted… there were many new faces too. She only recognized few people.

The first person to notice her was actually Kabir who was coming out of what looked like a conference room. His eyes instantly light up as he approached her eagerly.

Shreya of course showed all her teeth as she opened her arms wide to give him a hug… but someone dashed over chasing him and gave her a bear hug… and of course, it was Ajay.

"I missed you too, bud…" Shreya giggled and said looking at Kabir shooting daggers at Ajay. He was giving him a stinky eye…

"Me too…" Ajay said oblivious to his friend trying to kill him with his eyes.

"And you… you don't break up with Charan again, okay? When you are not around… he goes back to being all gloomy and doomy… and he brings that to work. He becomes an ass… it was really hard to put up with him…" Ajay's motor mouth started ill.u.s.trating everything she could possibly be missed in the past months she hadn't been around.

But his banter was interrupted when Kabir pulled him away from Shreya and broke her free from his bear hug.

"You are smothering her, buddy…" Kabir said when Ajay gave him an oblivious look.

"Oh!!" Ajay came to realization and stepped away as Kabir gave her a hug.

"How have you been?" Kabir asked once he pulled away. He couldn't mask the concern in them.

After all, he is not exactly as oblivious as Ajay was.

From news and papers, he could already guess somethings are not exactly right with Shreya's circ.u.mstances. Even though he did not know what it was, he could clearly guess a storm brewing around the corner even if it hadn't hit her yet. And that the reason they hadn't met for so long shouldn't be simple either… after all, Charan and Shreya were not exactly what you would call a 'quarreling couple'.

Even if they were having a fight, there was no way Shreya could have stayed away from Akira for so long without a really good reason.

And Shreya wasn't exactly the kind to attend a banquet and pick a fight with not one but three men at that… that too for no good reason. She was really not someone that jobless.

And of course, there was the fact that Charan along with his whole family, just up and absconded for two weeks and returned without notice 2 weeks earlier than the original schedule.

Nothing added up.

Only a person as naïve as Ajay wouldn't notice that something was up…

"I am good… don't worry about it," Shreya answered beaming at him brightly.

Before Kabir could ask more, Ajay straight up dragged her to his office while his mouth talked non-stop. For once Kabir actually followed and did not stop him…

"You scared me, you know that!! Suddenly not showing up and breaking up with Charan all of a sudden. I thought you guys were done… like 'done' done. And Charan wouldn't talk about it… he wouldn't say anything. He would just sit in his office and brood and work- occasionally."

Ajay blabbered all the way to his office through the corridor not bothering to heed the comments flying around.

Now, Shreya was a well-known face now. Especially after the grand entrance, she had made in Naren's birthday banquet. Even though she hadn't shown herself to the public after that and the new papers are too scared to dig up scoops on her… that one entrance was memorable. It made an impression on a lot of people.

So, almost all the people recognized her instantly. And no. of staffs had almost tripled in size from when he had last come here and most of the people she had met had become senior members in the firm and had an office room.

So, most of the people in the staff were curious and shocked and perplexed all at the same time seeing The Shreya Srivastav be so chill with their bosses…

But the three protagonists of the gossip were completely oblivious to the effect and were catching up leisurely in Ajay's office.

Ajay kept talking and talking until his own mouth went dry.

But he was interrupted by someone knocking on the door. One of the staff members peeked in nervously and said, "Sir, you guys are late for a meeting!!"

Both Ajay and Kabir came back to their senses while Shreya got up before them.

"You guys work. We will meet next time… anyways, I need to meet up with Charan!!"

She walked out before they could object.

Shreya on the other hand strolled around the corridor until she was a door with Charan's name on it. She peeked in to make sure he was alone.

Charan was facing away from her on the phone. A mischievous grin formed on her but then someone came from behind her putting a stop to her plan.

A lady stood there in her formal suits looking bewildered as to what to do. She had some files on her hand.

Shreya took a step back and gave way and said, "you can go in…"

Charan's 'come in' came as soon as she knocked. The lady came back out about a couple of minutes later. And Shreya snuck in behind her but was met with Charan's eyes looking at her.

"She told you!!" Shreya pouted puffing her cheeks.

Charan gestured her to come near and asked, "What are you doing here?" He gave her a once over and could clearly see the tired eyes. And of course the bruises on her knuckles.

He pulled her and sat her on his laps and took her hands in his… his fingers involuntarily traced her bruises…

"It's not what you think… I just trained with Srinivas last night…" She explained snuggling in. "I needed to get off some steam!"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_52406368006622994">#!_52406368006622994</a> for visiting.
