"Orphan!" Roy exclaimed. He never thought that this jolly girl would be an orphan.
Serene nodded her in agreement "Yes orphan. I lived in an orphanage from 2 till 14."
"Oh my god! What! Wait a minute. But then Henry is 7 year younger than you!" If she lived in an orphanage since 2 then how could she have a 7 year younger brother than her.
Serene mysteriously smiled "Henry and Harry are not my biological brothers. They both are biological brothers themselves and I consider them as my brother's and they too." Well no one can detect that.
Now that's again a big blow "God! If you hadn't told me, I would have never known. The way you guys live is more lovingly than the real siblings." He heard them talking to each other all the time. No one can identify the real deal with them.
Serene understandably nods. "I know. We three are the only family we have. That's why we care a lot for each other. But that doesn't mean we don't fight. We fight a lot. Actually I fight a lot."
She fights a lot with Harry the most. Henry still let her do some stuff but Harry, never he bounded her with her wafer diet the most. Then he didn't allow her to use her phone more than 5 hour a day when she was in high school.
Both Serene and Roy went out of the canteen to go back for classes when Roy again asked her a question
"So how did you get out of orphanage? Especially all this money!" Then suddenly he realised that he crossed the line "I'm sorry, I am being busybody." He was truly curious about this stuff.
Serene also understood his curiosity and said "It's okay. Anyway it's a long story about how we get out of there. And money that, my brother is one of the famous IT geniuses and I have a business sector in my hands. So money problems we don't have. Now, let's go for class."

"Say" Serene went towards the college emergency exit stairs to pick a call.
"Mam our shares in Orion pvt company are facing loss day by day. The documents I send to you by the manager are confidential about our shares and have all the data from one month. Mam I really think we should back off when we still have time." A voice came out from the receiver with a very evident panic.
Serene didn't mind his panic voice and replied calmly. "I am checking it right now. I will tell you in an hour." She hung up. It doesn't matter how bad Orion is going, she won't back out. She trusts her judgement and she is very sure that this company is nothing but black horse.
When she decided to use stairs instead of lift to go down, all documents fell down from the stairs "Shit! Collect it fastly Serena before someone else sees it." Those were confidential papers which can't be shared with anyone. She was picking up papers from the third floor when someone from the second floor gate came in.
"Hello!"
Serene immediately knew who that person was and got frozen.
"Yeah I am alone!" Soham said.
'No you are not.' Serene shouted inside her head.
Soham felt someone's presence when his manager hurriedly told him about someone who is without budging continuously supporting their project. Soham's interest went towards that shareholder's thought.
"Send me their file. I want a full idea of their business report and their reason to invest.... No it doesn't matter if things are not in place. Just go with the plan. Let them leave, it's their loss." Soham said without concern.
Just then a sheet of paper fell from above stairs to his feet.
Serene eyes widened when she saw the last paper of her document fell downstairs 'Shit! Please stop please'
"These!" When Soham picked up the sheet he was shocked for a second. It's his company project details, but only a middle page. But how it can be here. The moment he tried to read the more content someone snatched it away.
'Snatch' Serene took away her document with a slight smile "You have my things."
Without minding whom he was talking to Soham coldly and threateningly asked "What was that?"
Serene frowned by his cold tone and rolled her eyes with an interested look, "None of your business. I'll go." She tried to go away but Soham blocked her way."How long you have been here."
Well that's something she did wrong. But she couldn't leave before collecting her papers and she couldn't shout to tell him that she was there because her confidential papers were on the floor open for anyone to read. She couldn't take risks and had to hide.
"I... I... I was just coming down from the terrace."
Soham narrowed his eyes with all disbelief on his face "I didn't hear a single footsteps. Don't you dare to lie. I can hear a falling pin voice easily.
Serene knew he wasn't lying, so she decided to run away but after speaking the truth "Since the start. Biee."
"You come back here-" Soham shouted when he saw her running with a guilty mind.
Serene actually turned back to tell him not to talk about that sheet to someone else "By the way about sheet-" But in a hurry her leg slipped and she fell directly on Soham who was too shocked by her falling event that he forgot to step away like he usually does in this kind of situation.
Both fell backward on ground. Serene held Soham shoulder tightly to lessen her injury and Soham's hand unconsciously held her waist to hold something. But what happened next shocked him to the core.
Because of the pressure from falling, her head leaned forward with force and their lips touched.
