Chapter 67

Mohit's POV

I took a deep breath once they left and applauded Harry for handling them so efficiently. He was the best assistant I could get. But at the same time, I was the best boss too. He was getting almost double money, he would get anywhere else. But I could rely on him.

It was past lunchtime but as we were busy, we could not eat. I asked Harry to ask someone to serve lunch.

I saw her Playing with the girls. She looked so happy and even more beautiful when she was with the kids.

" Mohit??? "

" Hunh !!! "

" Let's have food I am hungry. " Manu said.

" I have already told them to serve food. " Manu said and called Srusti to come and just then the food was served.

" Great!! " She said

" Wow !! You got everything, I liked. " I was saying when Srusti walked in.

" Yeah !! Just wanted to make something you like after so long. " She said.

" Ma'am, you called me?? "

" Come have food with us. " Manu said.

" That is so kind of you to ask me ma'am, but thanks a lot, I am not very hungry."

" Not hungry?? Why?? " I could not stop myself from asking.

" Just like that... " She still did not look at me.

" Don't be stupid, have food. " I said.

" I am touched with your concern sir, I would eat with others. "

Why others?? What is the problem with me ???

" No, stay here... " Manu insisted

" Ma'am, it would be very awkward, I am just your assistant like Sonia."

" You are like family. Do you want Sahil to be annoyed with me?? " Manu asked and she shook her head slowly.

Now, what was that?? When did she become like a family to them?? Why would Sahil get annoyed with Manu ??

She sat at the far end. I don't know why, but the problem seemed to be more serious than it looked.

" Excuse me, sir?? "

" Yes, Harry?? Sir, are you sure, you don't want to eat the food that was sent by Maya ma'am? "

" Yeah... "

" What is your problem?? " Manu asked.

" Some people think that I am so selfish that I only want them to stay near me because they cook well and I want the delicious food made by them. For their kind information, I don't care about food that much. I can survive without her Awesome food. " I said.

" What?? What is going on?? "

" Nothing, have food, you are hungry. Right?? "

" What do I do sir?? " Harry asked.

" Do whatever you want... "

" Harry, please bring the food here. I would love to try. The snacks were amazing. Srusti and I can enjoy it. " Manu said.

" Ma'am, actually I brought my food."

" No arguments!! You are eating with us. "

" Ok, ma'am... If you insist. "

" I do... " Manu said and I smiled.

" Harry Ji, wait !! "

Harry JI ?? JI ?? How can she call him like that?? I don't know why but I felt a pain in my chest. No !! She can't call him Harry Ji...

I always felt something inside my chest whenever she addressed me as Mohit Ji... A quickening of my heartbeat.

I always felt weird but it was good. Nowadays, she was calling me as sir, master of the house, Mr Paul. It was so formal, I hated it. I was yearning for her to call me Mohit Ji as sweetly as she ever called me. But here she called Harry as Harry Ji ...

" Harry Ji, would you like to eat, what I brought from home. Actually, ma'am is insisting that I eat with them. But I brought my food with me. So If you want you can take my food."

" Oh, how sweet !!! Sure, I would love to eat. Thanks, Srusti !! You are a sweetheart. " She smiled and excused herself to go and give her food to him.

Enough !!!

Harry left after her and Manu served food on my plate. But I didn't feel like eating now. I just wanted to smash everything around me.

Why was I irritated so much?? It was just a small thing. Harry was older than her so she called him like that. But I didn't like it at all.

" Mohit??? "

" Hmmm ?? "

" Why are you zoned out?? "

" Nothing. " She came back within 5 minutes. I ate very little. I just couldn't eat. I didn't know what I was feeling and why??

Manu asked me why was I not eating but I just said that somehow, I was not very hungry.

Both Manu and Srusti left to see the kids.

Srusti's POV

I saw that Mr Malhotra was holding me tightly.

I was feeling very guilty for getting lost in my own world, the child could get hurt but he gave an assuring smile and said, " Don't worry Srusti, it's ok... " Manyata ma'am took the child from my hand and I felt like crying.

" No, l am sorry, I should have been more careful. " I said to both of them.

Sahil Ji hugged me lightly and patted on my back to soothe me as I was on the verge of crying. Just then I heard Mohit greeting him. Sahil Ji greeted him back with a warm embrace.

" Hi, Tailor... How are you?? Happy that Manu is back??" He was smiling like anything.

Tailor?? Were they such good friends?? Does he even know... Mohit l-loves Manyata??

He brought the food for girls, which ma'am forgot at their home. He told her and she smiled at him. They looked at each other with so much love.

Mohit was shocked to see me here. He even refused to eat anything I cooked and Maya di sent.

Of course, why would he want it?? The love of his life was here to cook for him once again. He didn't need me or my cooking now.

Manyata ma'am asked me to come as she wanted to show me around and make me familiar with work and introduce me to the models she works with.

We were about to go out when a helper came with coffee and snacks for us. I excused herself and started going out. But ma'am insisted me to stay and have coffee. I kept denying it but had to stay. Sonia and Harry also joined us.

He was enjoying the snacks made by me. He even appreciated Harry for ordering them and said that he could have them every day. Harry told him that they were sent by Maya di.

That smile on Mohit's face vanished all of a sudden. He guessed that I made them.

He was shocked and looked at me, though I was looking at the kids, I could feel him looking at me.

He got annoyed and Harry apologized.

" Excuse me, I would come back in a minute or two. " I said and left his office. I was upset with all this and I just wanted to be alone.

I asked someone the way to the washroom.

" Wait... " I heard him but I didn't stop so he caught my arm. I told him to leave me alone but he wanted to talk, while I did not want to.

" What are you doing here?? " He asked. But before I could say anything, I heard Manyata ma'am asking him if he knew me. She was standing right behind me.

" Yes, she is m... "

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

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

" Hmmm..." He said still looking at me.

She asked me to come with her, gave me a round of the studio and introduced her to all workers and models.

One of the models, whose name was Kabir, smiled at me and held out his hand to shake with mine. I shook hands hesitantly.

He was trying to be friendly and was flirting lightly. I was getting a bit uncomfortable.

Mohit told him to do his work. He was annoyed as hell. Then the man asked me to have lunch with him. I politely refused

Mohit glared and even shouted at him and went to his cabin. What was his problem???
