I was engrossed with the meeting when someone barged into my cabin and I didn't even bother to look up as I know only a few people in this world have such balls to do this stunt.
1} my family.
2} my two best friends one is finally coming back to India and the other one is standing in my office muttering about his doctor. Soon he will direct that anger towards me as he can't tell his doctor to fuck off as his mother will have him on her plate as breakfast if he tried to fire this present orthopedic surgeon.
So let's start the countdown when he will begin speaking properly instead of muttering.
5,4,3,2...

"Do you know what the time is? "Advik says with a frown on his face.

He didn't even allow me to complete my mental timers.
I finally looked up and I was right.
Behind him, I heard Gabriel my secretary saying sorry for not stopping my stupid friend and I know quite well that no one can stop him when he is like this.

"It's fine Gabriel can go, it's not our fault that someone has forgotten their manners, "I say with a raise of my eyebrows.

"I have manners and a good sense of time, "Advik says sitting on the chair before my desk.

"What she did do now you are acting like someone has put your ball in another basket, "I say turning back to my computer.

"Why do you think she has done something, let her try, and then I will show her what can I do," He said while clenching his jaw.

"Yeah, u fire and she what Aunty will do if I remember correctly she is the only surgeon in India who was capable of performing ur surgery and which is still in caste, so u still need to listen to her if u don't want to, "I say gesturing towards his shoulders which is still in caste due to his surgery.

"When Noah is landing," He asked me checking his phone.

"Same time as ours, "I say while turning off my computer.

"Will he visit her too? "He asks me.

"Don't know he hasn't said anything about seeing her but he is going to meet Uncle and Aunty as she is turning 19 soon"I say.

"Market is going to be a great message after Shergill comes back, "He said.

"Not a message but a nightmare for some, "I say buttoning my suit jacket.

"Goyal's are going to have a heart attack after seeing Shergill princess, I really can't wait to meet her, "He says with a genuine smile.

"Neither can't I wait to see her and the satisfaction would be sweet to destroy the Goyal's, "I said moving out of my cabin.

"Everything is ready sir, the jet is waiting for u both on the helipad, "Gabriel says to both of us.

"Gab, just confirm everything for the last time and update me before we leave for Meerut and also check on Noah's assistant too, " Advik says to Gabriel.

"Everything will be on time and I have informed the manager of the CEO of our arrival there but I will confirm everything again and update u," Gabriel says to both of us.

****

After the 3 hours of fight, we both landed in Delhi. We both were waiting outside the airport terminal, scanning the crowd for Noah's arrival. Advik was tapping his foot impatiently while I checked my emails. Advik notices Noah first.

"Here he is, finally, "Advik says with an expression which I didn't understand I shook my head and noticed Noah making his way towards us.

"Finally back man, "I say hugging him

"We both missed you asshole, "Advik says while making a puppy face he is acting like a drama queen lately.

"Shut up dipshit I know u both very well and u were just missing the stunts when we were together so stop acting like a drama queen not even Siya is like you, "Noah says 

"Fuck off asshole you don't like attention what I can do, "Advik says with a shrug of his shoulder.

" But nowadays you like to have a specific doctor's attention on urself, "I say with a smirk

"Ooo, that a news to me"Noah also says with a smirk.

"We should leave for Meerut, we can't have Agnihotri waiting, "Advik says impressed 

"I have heard that Agnihotri is getting married to Mira," Noah says moving towards the car.

"Yeah, he got engaged last week," I said with a shrug.

"She didn't tell me that was the reason she was coming back to India, "Noah said widening his eyes.

"She didn't tell you what this means Noah "Advik asked him.

" Mira is one of the lawyers who work for the Shergill empire as we all know her from high school due to Nevan we all know each other as friends too, that's what I mean"Noah replied to him.

"Does Nevan know about your connection with Mira" Advik asks him raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, she is the one who asked Nevan about this meeting" He replied moving towards the car.

"If you are done with your introgression can we move" I say to both of them.

--------

There was an hour for Nevan to arrive at the club for the meeting. So we decided to relax for the time being in the VIP area which gave us a clear view of the club.

"You did a great job with this place," Noah says to Advik

"Thanks, man but it would be better if I wasn't in this cast" He replied while pointing towards his cast.

As it was Advik's fourth visit to the club since it had been opened he excused himself to check on business which left me and Noah. After the waiter delivered our drinks we both got engrossed in a conversation about everything and still nothing. Suddenly, something caught my eye in my peripheral vision- a glimmer of gold.
Curiosity getting the better of me, I turned my head to see what it was and found a stunning woman standing at the entryway to the dance floor. Her confidence, beauty, and her captivating smile immediately drew me towards her. As she walked the crowd of people on the floor, I couldn't help but notice every person turning their heads to admire her. At that moment, I knew I had to talk to her. Leaving my conversation with Noah, I made my way towards her at the bar, and another guy whispered something in her ear which made me frown.
However, just as I reached there, she bolted out of the club with a look of disappointment on her face. Without a second thought, I followed her outside, determined to find out more about this mysterious woman who had caught my attention.

As I reached out of the club I immediately spotted her taking short steps towards where I don't know as I approached her, I saw a pair of headlights racing towards me and I heard a scream and saw her being frozen there and making herself ready for the impact of the hit but before anything happened to her I pulled her back into my chest an arm around her waist and how beautiful she was from up close. She had her eyes closed and when she opened them I felt like the ground shifted from my feet.

Her eyes were chocolate brown, she was about to say something but they got stuck there as our eyes got connected. I wanted to put my other arm at her waist too, just to hold her close but then I noticed that she was shaking a little as the cold wind blew around us.
I was having my suit jacket in my other arm so I removed that and covered her with it.

Damn, the site was something to her as I looked at her covered in my jacket over her jumpsuit she looked like a boss lady and mine.

'Wait where did come through? First, ask her even if she is fine or not then think of making her YOURS' my mind mocked me.

"Are you okay? That was a close call" I asked her in a gentle tone

"Yeah, it was... Thanks "She replied shaking her head a bit.

"Let's move to the side"I suggested.

We both moved towards the side of the club and my arm was still around her waist.

"Can u get me a bottle of water for the lady?"I asked the bouncer who was there.
"Yes sir"The guys replied and went inside.

" Do you need a ride somewhere? I can call a cab for you." I asked her even though I knew it was time for the meeting and Nevan could show up at any moment but hell I cared.

" No, thank you. I just... I need a moment to clear my head that way I come out " She replied while making eye contact again.

"V, here u are, we both were looking for u, " A guy said coming from the side of the club then I noticed that he was there with her in the club.

'V what is her full name 'I thought to myself 

I removed my hands from her waist and I felt a sudden coldness around myself. She was pretty warm.

"Yeah, I'm," She said looking at me.

I didn't want that eye contact to break but it did.

"Here sir what you asked me for, "the guy said to me passing a water bottle.

I unscrewed the lid of the bottle and passed it to her. As she took a sip, I noticed her friend looking at her with a knowing look and she just rolled her eyes 👀 at him.

"I think now u are in good hands and hope u will not do something like that again," I  said in a bit teasing tone.

"What like that again, V what you did do, "Her friend asked her 

"She was about to get hit by a car" I  replied to him.

"What are u okay" He asked her with a bit of concern

"I'm fine," she replied with some underlined scars I detected in her tone.

I saw him wiggling his eyebrows and sensed that they were talking to each other without speaking out.

I felt a bit jealous so to distract her I cleared my throat and said "Take care of yourself beautiful" moving back towards the club.

Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink and I like that colour on her.

"Thanks mr..."She says frowning as she neither knows my name nor I know hers except her initial 

I nodded in understanding and was about to go inside when I saw something in her eyes that wasn't meant to be there which piqued my interest and I wanted to know more about her. And I will but first I need to get over the meeting we are here.......

SEE u all later ❤️❤️
