Chapter 310 - Atta girl…

Shreya stumbled out of her bed when she heard someone call out to her… She was still in her office. She did not go home from when she got back from T country. And of course, she did not get to meet Akira nor Charan given her face looked as if she had been run over by a car.

But as soon as she came out of her lounge she was met by the very same person she had been avoiding for two days.

Charan was standing beside the shelf of books still not facing her. But as soon as he heard the rustling noise of doors closing, he turned to ask simultaneously, "I heard you came back… why didn't you call? Akira was…" He never got to finish the sentence… whatever he was about to say left his head as his eyes landed on her face…

She was an aghast sight especially given all the bruises are starting to heal making them look more profound. She was wearing a crop top which showed her purplish midriff… she wore it because it was easier to ice her ribs in this tee… but she never thought she would be caught red-handed like this by Charan.

"What the hell happened to you??" For once, Charan actually raised his voice at her…

Shreya did not know how to answer, so she stood there biting on her lips.

"I asked you a question, Shreya!" Charan repeated moving closer to her. The more close he got the angrier he got.

Shreya was caught by a reporter at the airport when she landed… so, it was public news that she got back home. But it had been 2 days since that news… and there was no report of any injuries. So, he was confused as to why she never contacted him as soon as she came back… but looking at her now, he could easily guess she was hiding from them.

"I-I got into a fight!!" Shreya mumbled. By then Charan had already reached her.

"And then you decided to hide it from me!!?" Charan asked arching his brows. He kept a two-inch distance between them… He did not reach for her. Mainly because he was afraid he would touch one of her wounds accidentally.

Shreya frantically shook her head at first but then her head paused at Charan giving her a stern look. So, slowly she bit on her lips and nodded her head. Her enthusiasm was so much lesser than when she first shook her head…

Looking at the clear guilty eyes staring back at him, Charan really couldn't stay mad at her. He gently ran his fingers over her swollen cheeks and asked, "Did you apply something on it?"

Knowing Shreya, he doubted she would have treated them on her own… but the wounds did look clean.

"Uncle patched it up… he put something on before he left home…" Shreya answered very obediently like a good kid.

"Who did you fight with?" Charan asked once again.

"Aleesha…"

"Are you okay now?" He asked next. He could already see her eyes darken with just mentioning Aleesha's name…

Shreya nodded her head.

Charan did not say anything else… he simply pulled her in for a hug…

Shreya instantly snuggled in readily as she mumbled, "Sorry, I did not call you when I came back… I was busy at first and then this happened… I couldn't really do much."

Charan just held her by her head on one hand while the other tentatively hovered over the wound on her stomach as he asked, "How is it now?"

Shreya just shrugged.

"Did you win??" Charan asked. His mood was not exactly good but he still controlled his emotions for Shreya's sake… he did not want her to relive things she did not want to…

As far as he knew Shreya, she was not one to get into a fight just like that… and given how she looks, he could already guess that the fight was intense even though Shreya was trying to play it light.

And when he knew it was with Aleesha, he could already guess Shreya's mindset wouldn't have been pretty.

"She is still in the hospital!!" Shreya gave him a proud smile while her eyes were looking for praise. She looked as if a kid would after winning a race and saying it to his dad…

Charan helplessly ruffled her hair and said, "Atta girl…"

Warmth spread instantly as she looked at Charan's proud eyes. She couldn't really help but bury her face against his chests as she held him tightly and said, "I missed you… sooo much. I wanted to come to you, but I did not want to scare Akira with the whole face… What if she thought I was bad and started being scared of me!!"

"So, it's okay if I saw you like this ah? What if I got scared of you? What would you do then?" Charan asked teasingly.

Shreya just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "I can always just scare you some more and keep you with me!! And if you knew what is good for you, you will stay! Anyways, only an idiot is going to try to run from me!!"

"And why is that?" Charan asked… his lips automatically twitched anticipating her answer.

"Well, I am the Shreya Srivastav… Duh!! You won't even have a chance to take a step out of this city without me knowing… so, how are you going to run!!" Shreya sassed.

Charan couldn't really help but let out a chuckle. Even when he knew she was actually being serious… he did not know how to be scared of her.

"Then it is a good thing I am not stupid!!" He mumbled as he buried his face against her neck. Her sweet musky scent instantly flooded his senses making his mind fall straight into the gutter.

"You smell so good…" He mumbled unconsciously while Shreya shivered as his lips touched on her sensitive skin.
