Chapter 15 jealousy at its peak
Author's pov
Vanya was in a meeting with her client in a restaurant discussing the clause of the deal unknown to the fact that there's someone watching them with raged eyes and fisted palms.
Vanya and her client stood up to end the meeting shaking their hands. At last the man hugged her making her hesitate but patted the man's back lightly and he left the restaurant. She turned to go only to get collided with a hard chest. She looked up to see Aaryaant standing there. Her head hit his hard brawny front.
"Aaryaant you here!" Vanya exclaimed with a little excitement.
She was happy to see him but Aaryaant was busy glaring at the retreating figure of the man that he totally forgot she was standing there with amused expressions but quickly composed herself (back to poker face).
"Hey..where're you lost?" she asked placing her hand on top of his making him look at her.
"Who was he?" he asked calmly yet curiously enough to get her attention. His voice wasn't devoid of sternness.
"Well he was one of my clients." she replied.
"Do you always hug your every client just like how you did it a minute ago?" he asked. Jealousy was dripping his voice. She could sense the irritation from his tone of asking. She chuckled inwardly.
"No aaryaant he hugged me and I hugged him back because he was a friend of mine during graduation." she answered with an assurance.
He tilted his head towards her indicating to continue.
"Then after graduation I went abroad so we lost contact." she narrated.
"So why is he back?" He was unpleased about this new entry.
"For a deal"
"Which deal and what's his profession?"
"He's a businessman but things being what they are, his company is facing impoverishment, so he wants me to buy 50 percent shares of the company and invest for his company" she answers his every question calmly. He understandly nodded.
"What's his name"
"Piyush Kulkarni and he's a Sindhi too." she again answered.
"I know"
"How do you know"
"By the surname" he replied and shrugged.she nodded still not understanding but didn't question further.
"What are you doing here?" she asked after a minute.
"I came to drop Aaru" he answered.
"Oh my boiw is here too!" she lovingly exclaimed.
"Yes and don't get too excited you won't be able to meet him, he's busy with his friends " he replied with a straight face. And again she could sense the jealousy from his tone.
"Oh okay but he won't ignore me, he'll definitely ignore his friends to meet me" she teasing played and shrugged. He made a sulking face but quickly masked his expressions.
"By the way how's my princess?" he asked.
"Well your princess is pretty good and super excited for the fashion show at her college fest" she replied. He hummed gazing at her intently. He got lost in her black locks which she was tucking again and again behind her ears.
"Ohk now I need to leave" she said. He didn't hear her as he was adoring her smile making the corner of her eyes wrinkle up with soft gaze. His rarest gaze.
She hugged him making him stiff and shocked.
"Aren't you going to reciprocate?" she meekly asked not breaking the hug taking him out of his shock and immediately wrap his arms tightly around her petite waist and snuggle in her hairs.
"Ok see you soon" they broke the hug and she left for her workplace. He watched her retreating figure.
"I need every single piece of information about this Piyush Kulkarni!" he commanded on a call from one of his trusted people and disconnected without hearing the other side. And he finally left for his work.
