"Don't lie. You must have done something to her." He insisted.
When they reached the dining area, Sora and Aryan were sitting in their chairs. Waiters served dinner and everyone started. Sora was quiet so Reyhan whispered, "Do you want to say something?"
She looked at him and shook her head lightly. "I am fine", is what she said.
After dinner when Reyhan insisted that he would drop Sora in his car while Aryan and Krish could go together, Sora refused saying she was tired and wanted to rest as an excuse.
Reyhan had no other way and said, "Alright, Aryan please make sure to get your friend back home safely."
"Of course, Mr. Chairman. If something happens to her, I can't bear to face your wrath," Aryan teased.
Meanwhile, Sora ignored them and left. Aryan followed her silently.
"She acted all tough when we returned but still can't hide the true feelings, hehe. She is so cute and adorable when she is jealous!" Krish commented as he looked at the retreating back of Sora.
"She was born like that but was lost somewhere because of me, as in last year only she came to know she is an heiress and trying to fulfill all the responsibilities for her clan," Reyhan commented.
"She has gone through a lot of pain that we can't even imagine just to protect me. I might not understand her plans but I wish to be by her side," Reyhan added and wished she would be fine soon.
The next day Reyhan and Krish reached the office where Sora had stepped out of the car with Aryan and entered the office building to go towards the elevator. Reyhan and Krish caught up to them as the other two were waiting for the elevator.
Sora didn't look at Reyhan. Same time Reyhan looked at Krish with a meaningful gaze to which he nodded. Just as the elevator arrived, Krish said, "Aryan, I have something to discuss with you." These four when they are alone never follow honorifics.
Aryan nodded and without a question followed Krish.
Sora looked at him, "Where are you going?"
"Sora, there is something important. I'll be back to you soon," Aryan said and left without giving her a chance to stop him.
The elevator arrived and Reyhan gestured for her to step inside. Sora did so and Reyhan followed her. With only two in the private elevator, the door closed.
"Is there something that upsets you?" Reyhan asked.
"Nothing," she replied.
"When you were coming out of the car in the morning, I saw you looking at me angrily for a moment?" he asked.
"You saw it wrong," she denied it straight away. What would she say that she felt angry for a moment after remembering that he ignored her at that party and went to dance with another girl? There was no way she would ever show this jealous side of her to him.
"Fine, then why are you trying to avoid me?" he asked.
"I didn't," she said firmly.
He looked at the stubborn woman standing next to him in that big space of the elevator, "Are you sure?"
She sensed his gaze on her and gulped. She didn't look at him and nodded. He leaned closer and whispered in her ear with a smirk, "Okay Love, As usual, I believe you."
That closeness with him in the elevator was affecting her and she wished to get away from him before embarrassing herself more by giving into him when he touched her. Just then the elevator stopped at their floor and the door opened. Sora got the chance to get away from him. She pushed him aside and stepped out of the elevator in a hurry. Reyhan slowly followed her into the cabin.
"What you are following me Mr. Busy?", Sora asked with frown.
"Please stop fuming like this. I am sorry if my any act caused you to behave like this," Reyhan was still thinking to end this once and for all.
Sora only looked at him feeling speechless and sudden silence surrounded them which was broken by the sudden knock on the door.
Rubina entered the office with the files, "Sir, the files you asked me yesterday."
Reyhan nodded and Rubina kept them on the table. She sensed the silence in the office room and felt like leaving early but then said, "Sir, you have an appointment with Miss Sandy Mittal regarding the project. Mr. Yash Mittal will also be here shortly."
Reyhan nodded and went to the other side of the work table where Rubina had placed the files. Sora was having a difficult time when she heard a name that rang an alarm. She wants to vent it on someone.
As expected, Aryan entered the office a little late, "Sora…."
"Aryan, I would like you to do something for me," Sora said in a little cold voice.
"Yes, boss?", Aryan immediately learned that coldness.
"Find a better managing director for me," Sora replied.
He knew his mistake but also had to look for her anger to calm down and it was possible for Reyhan to console her so that it would be in place. "Apologies boss," and arranged Sora's work.
Krish who was there smiled at how Aryan turned silent in front of his boss and then looked at Reyhan, 'Thank god my boss is my best friend too. Though he is stubborn, unlike Aryan, I still have the liberty to give him an earful.'
Reyhan ignored everything as it was time for work and said, "Krish, you know the next schedule."
"Yes, I have already prepared for it," he replied.
Reyhan looked at Sora, "We will be in the meeting room. You can join us if you wish to."
Sora nodded and Reyhan left with Krish. Aryan offered a file to her. "This one is what we will be having a meeting about."
Sora went to the file quickly and put it aside, "Got it. Let's go for a meeting."
