"So, its the matter of a slap!! Okay then, where's Ms. Jiya?" He asked casually, confusing the others.
Director signalled one of his assistant to bring the woman there.
Jiya was standing outside of the room, she entered inside the room after being called by the director.
She walked towards Varun and stood maintaining some distance, "Mr. Deewan, what's the matter?"
Varun didn't looked at her nor answered her question, he turned towards the director directly and held out the new script, "Act these scene before us with her."
The man felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water onto him, he swallowed thickly, "Sorry sir? I... I don't under... stand!"
Varun didn't said anything and just turned towards his bodyguard cum secretary, the guy nod in understanding before explaining properly, "Boss wants you to act the slapping scene with Ms. Jiya. So, stop wasting further time & act it out." He commanded him in a low but thundering voice.
The man turned stiff, while Jiya was lost of words, she opened and closed her mouth not finding any suitable words, director looked at Shanaya then at Varun before losing all his hopes.
If he would've had any idea about this, he didn't have done the deed!
Taking a deep breathe he prepared himself to do it, if that's the only way to save the movie from the man's warth, then he's ready!
Slap!!
A low chuckle left from Varun's throat as he watched the slap, "Kamal, I think he don't know how to slap properly, teach him."
Kamal smirked, his boss is really so ruthless. "Mr. Shekhar, do you want me to show you?"
Shekhar shook his head, he understood the actual motive behind this entire matter.
It was very simple, the humiliation that Jiya planned for Shanaya previously, he wants to return it to her mercilessly!
Shekhar looked at Jiya to see the girl was already looking at him with a threatening look.
He gave her a pitiful look while sneering in his heart, its not that bad, the girl had threw so many tantrums since she entered inside the studio.
This is a good opportunity to take the revenge!
Slap!! Slap!!
Surprising every person to their core he slapped her with his full force, the twin slap impacted onto the girl very much, she fell down on the floor!
Shekhar's fingerprints imprinted on her cheek while it turned bright red.
A faint smile appeared on his face this time!
"Who's the producer?" He inquired.
Chills ran down of his spine as the director gulped nervously, "S.. Sabyasachi Mishra."
"So, he will stop the production, huhh!! How many days he's going to stop the production for?" He asked another question, but these time with a mocking smile.
Sweat beads appeared on the man's face, he felt himself caught in between ice & fire.
"W..We don't know, sir!" He answered hesitantly with a trembling voice.
Varun nod curtly, then turned towards Shanaya, she was still sitting on her chair, but now with a relaxed expression on her face.
He stroked her hair and handed her a water bottle, "I had cancelled my lunch meeting for you, go inside now and get ready, you are going to accompany me for lunch."
Shanaya shoot him a glare, but the man just flicked her forehead, "Don't just sit here and go." He pulled her up and pushed her towards the restroom.
The people present in the room just stared at the two with astonishment, just an week ago internet was filled with the news of their fight.
But just now one incident proved that everything is as good in between them as before, and also rumours are just rumours.
After Shanaya left, the serene smile on his face also left. He looked at the director who was standing there while covered in sweat.
"Tell your producer that Varun Deewan had stopped the production of his movie." He stated his decision firmly, which earned some sharp gasps and low murmurs.
The director felt his heart stopped, he already had predicted something like this in his heart, he fell down on his knees and clutched the man's leg to beg for forgiveness.
"Sir, please forgive us for the inconvenience. I promise nothing like this will ever happen again. Please don't stop the production." He pleaded in his pitiful voice.
But Varun just stood there nonchalantly, after a while he spoke again, "If you really want to start the production again, then find a decent & deserving second female lead, not some whore!"
"Sure sir, we will do everything asper your instructions!" The man quickly nod his head in agreement.
Varun just nod, "Okay, then do it first and I'll think then."
At the moment Shanaya had already returned from the restroom.
She changed her clothes and now was wearing a white midi dress and snickers. She tied her hair into a messy ponytail.
Varun looked at her before giving a satisfied nod, then guide her out from there and left.
The crowd also dispersed after they left, the only person who didn't left was Jiya, she just sat there with her eyes filled with tears.
This much humiliation she had never felt before, the fire that was burning inside her for a long time, this incident just fuelled it up.
Which was going to snatch something from Shanaya, which she holds so dear to her!
...
Shanaya was having her lunch while the man on her opposite was looking at her, "Its been so many years in the entertainment industry, you're an A-listed celebrity actress, but still facing these types of problems!"
"Noww don't tauunt—"
"Stop talking or the food will stuck in your throat. Are you really a socialite? Look at yourself, no elegance!! Who gobbles food like this?" Varun teased the girl.
Shanaya swallowed the mouthful food after chewing them properly, then spoke out coqetishly, "Huhh, why would I have to behave so elegant in front of you? You're my best friend not my boyfriend."
The spoon on Varun's hand froze for a moment, he smiled in a self deprecating way.
What she said was right, he's just her best friend!
Varun!! Varun!!
"Hmm?" He looked at her questionably.
"I'm calling you for the last one minute, what are you thinking so deeply?" Shanaya asked furrowing her brows.
The man just shook his head, "I was thinking about your husband, what a bad luck to get a wife like you."
Shanaya rolled her eyes, "Explain."
"A wife who knows nnothing but eating." He teased again.
"Huuh, its more than enough!" The girl continued to eat not taking his words to heart.
Now it was Varun's turn to roll his eyes, "Still a narcissist!"
They laughed out loudly.
