Chapter 66

Mohit's POV

" What are you doing here?? " I asked her before I could stop myself.

" You know her, Mohit ?? " just then I heard Manu asking me. She was standing right behind me.

I wanted to tell her but not like this. I didn't want to make a scene here. Because Manu would start complaining that I did not tell her.

" Yes, she is m... " I was going to say she was my friend. But I got interrupted by Srusti.

" I am his cook. I told you I cook for someone, it is him. " She replied to Manu.

Cook?? She is still stuck there... What was wrong with her??

" Oh, Wow !!! Small world. " Manu said and smiled.

" Hmmm..." I said still looking at Srusti but she was not looking at me.

Manu took her to show around. I went to my cabin. I needed to talk to Manu to seek her help.

Manu gave her a round of the studio and introduced her to all workers and models.

Kabir, Wasim and Mohnish were there and I knew how flirt they were... they used to lightly flirt with manu as well, despite me giving them a warning.

I knew that they were not going to harm her or I would have thrown him out. But still, their light-hearted flirting was on with her till Sahil came.

I could not let them flirt with Srusti. The boys were looking at her with that flirty look in their eyes. I had to warn them off.

Manu introduced her as her another assistant. Kabir smiled at her and held out his hand to shake with hers.

She was reluctant but shook her hand hesitantly. He smiled at her softly.

" Hi, beautiful !!! Are you sure you are here to be an assistant to Manyata ma'am??"

I was getting annoyed with them. Why do they have to flirt with everyone?? I would beat them if they try anything with my girl.

" Yes, why?? " She looked confused. How simple this girl was??

" No, I was just wondering as you can be a model... You have a perfect figure for that... Curves at the right places. Height is also fine... It would have been better if you were a few inches taller... But that is not a big issue. Right, ma'am?? " He said and Srusti looked a bit uncomfortable.

I was about to lose my mind. How dare he look at her in that... manner?

Who comments like that on someone, especially if she is married to someone else?

You!! You comment like this on girls in front of their husbands too. My soul said.

Shut up !! But she is my wife.

But he does not know...

How can he talk about her like that??

" Well don't waste your talent on her. She doesn't need your expert comment. You try to make your own career better, leave her. That we will see... You go and do your work. " I was annoyed as hell.

" Yes sir... " He nodded at me and started going away but halted again.

" Bye, see you later beautiful. Free at lunchtime?? Care to join me for lunch?? " He asked her. Enough !!! How dare he??

" No, thanks. " She said.

Great !!! I love her.

" Oh, c'mon just a lunch... So that we get to know each other." He insisted.

" No... She is not free. And stop wasting time or you would not get paid for today." I said as I could not contain my anger.

" What?? But why? What am I doing?? I asked her out during lunchtime. Nobody works at that time. "

" Go home actually, there is not much of a work. We would call you in a day or two. "

" But ma'am is here. So we can work. " Wasim said.

" Yeah, but she would start working in a day or two. You may leave now. " I said in a very high tone and went to my cabin after looking at her once. She was still not looking at me.

Manyata and Srusti kept standing there while Kabir followed me.

" Sir??"

" What?? "

" Sir, what happened?? Why are you so angry?? "

" Nothing... No flirting with fellow workers...ok?? I won't tolerate that." I said and he looked at me weirdly.

" But sir, I was just talking... We all always behave like this. We talk to everyone in this friendly way. It keeps the office atmosphere very light. I am sorry to say this sir, but you only used to say this. "

" Yeah... I know. But no flirting. "

" Any specific reason for this change sir?? "

" Do you want me to replace you?? "

" What ?? No sir !! But I am just curious. What happened to you?? "

" Nothing!!! Get lost... Before I throw you out of my studio... " I literally shouted at him. He left.

Manu kept telling her about her work and Srusti seemed to learn quite fast.

It was lunchtime... And manu and Srusti fed the kids and made them take a nap.

I kept looking at her... She was looking so pretty holding the child. I could not help imagining her holding our child. A felt a current running my body at the thought.

Did I just really think that?? Shristi as the mother of my children??

Would she accept me?? I was going insane, thinking about her all the time. I tried to think of something else but she was there on the other side of that one-sided glass.

Both the kids were sleeping now. Srusti started arranging everything. I was still looking at her lost in my world.

" Excuse me, Sir?? " Harry came towards me.

" Yes, Harry? "

" Sir, a couple has come to buy the wedding attire for both groom as well as the bride along with two family members. They are from one of the very influential families of Delhi."

" Handle them, Harry. I am not in the mood. "

" Sir, they want to meet you. Please I insist that you come. "

" Ok !! "

I went out and greeted them. I knew the family, I remember meeting them earlier at some social gathering.

" Hello, Mr Paul !! How are you? " The groom to be said.

" I am good. How are you?? Nice to meet you again."

" We had to meet again... I am getting married and my lovely wife is a great fan of your designs and wants all her dresses to be made only by you. "

" Congratulations!!! Thanks a lot... I am flattered that such a pretty girl wants to wear my design on all her special occasions. That is an honour for us. Thanks a lot, beautiful !! " I said and hold her hand in mine and kissed the back of it. The girl and her fiance gave me a polite social smile.

There was another girl, who accompanied them. She was Mr Roy's sister. one of those girls who were crazy for the limelight and wanted to grab the attention of everyone around.

" Oh, Mohit !!! I am a great fan of yours as well. I saw a few designs of yours got selected in Lakme fashion week and were all over the fashion magazines. "

She was trying to get very close to me. I was just being polite so I just smiled faintly at her. But she was flirting quite openly with me.

She was clinging to me like anything, I was getting annoyed. But I tried to keep myself cool. Mr Roy was from a very good family and they promised a good business. And I was quite used to such girls.

" Excuse me, miss... I need to show a design or two before I go back to my work, I was immersed in my work up to my neck. My assistant would help you. Harry pls help Ms Roy. "

I turned to show a whole new range to the bride and my eyes collided with Srusti.

She looked a bit annoyed and was looking at my hand which was holding the hand of the bride to be.

For how long was she looking at me??

I got a bit conscious and released her hand immediately. Srusti averted her eyes, turned on her heel and left.

I handled them and excused myself politely, saying that I have a meeting in 2 hours and I had to make a presentation before that, for one of the very famous actors couple, who were to be tied in the nuptial knots very soon.

They apologized for appearing without an appointment. I assured them that it was absolutely fine with me and I loved having them here. It was just that I was a bit tied up at the moment. They left with lots and lots of dresses.
