The next morning, Glipy woke up to the sun's rays peeking through the curtains. She covered her eyes with her arms, trying to get rid of the light that was bothering her. She felt an arm wrapped around her body as she slowly opened her eyes. When her vision finally cleared, She found herself on Sundar's arms and he was holding her close to him.
She gulped the scream that wanted to escape from her throat and tired removing his arms from her waist slowly. She moved unknowingly, she was already at the edge of the bed. Thump!! She fell and landed with her butt on the floor.
She rubbed her butt in pain and at the same time Sundar hoarse voice made her jumped up in surprise.
"Did you get hurt?" Sundar came down from the bed and help her rise to her feet.
"I am fine" Glipy said swallowing her pain, forcing a smile.
"Are you good now?" Sundar bent over to check her temperature once more. Glipy panicked and threw her head to the side when he raised his hand towards her. She held her breath when she felt his cold palm touch her forehead.
"Thank goodness. Your fever had gone" Sundar looked at her with attentive eyes. She felt her heart racing in her chest when her eyes landed on Sundar bare chest.
"Ahh! I have the habit of sleeping without shirt" Sundar said. Glipy looked up at him widening her eyes slightly pursing her lips together.
"Why do you look so shocked? This is not the first time you saw me!" Sundar said with a meaningful smile. Sundar was enjoying Glipy expression passing through her face as she looked at him completely drumbstruck.
-----
"Thank you for taking care of me" Glipy said with a smile as she sipped on her hot cup of chocolate.
Sundar flash a quick smile at Glipy with his straight white teeth, "Well, you should reward me!". A faint blush spread over her cheeks hearing his words.
"I will go and wash my cup" Glipy said hurriedly. Just before Glipy could pickup her cup, he tugged her hand hard, making her fall on his lap. Before she could move, he wrapped his arms around her holding her in place.
"You can wash it later" Sundar said with a mischievous smile.
"I have an appointment. So, I need to go" Glipy said with a soft smile on her face.
"But you are not feeling well" Sundar said indifferently.
"I am good now. It's important appointment. My colleague will come and pick me up. So, let go of me". She smacked him hard on his chest.
"Colleague! A man?" Sundar asked while Glipy nod.
"Man!..." Sundar mumbled. Taking the chance, Glipy quickly stood up and she headed to the bathroom.
--------
"What are you doing?" Sundar hardened his gaze.
"Hmm.. Don't you see! I am choosing my clothes to wear" Glipy sighed and shuffle her clothes with deep thoughts.
"Seems like you are really concerned about your dress Ahh~ to impress the man!" Sundar gaze at her silently. Glipy didn't miss the sarcasm in his words. She turned only to see his stoic expression.
Glipy smiled at him, finding him cute. Glipy held Sundar's face with her hand. With her thumb caressing his cheek, "Why I should try to impress someone when I have my sweet boyfriend right infront of me?"
"Don't joke!" Sundar lifted her head to look at him. The two kept looking at each other when Glipy spoke, "I am not joking. Board Director is my father's friend. So, I have to present myself in good outfit".
She then went towards the dressing table and started brushing her hair. "Are you not going back to your apartment?" Glipy muttered as she looked at his reflection in the mirror.
"You want me to go!" Sundar pronounced as he peered at Glipy through the mirror.
"I don't mean it that way!" Glipy replied hastily. "You can stay here anytime!" Glipy added with a shy smile.
