How will I sleep if I keep on thinking?!Why did he call me Princess?! I mean he has a girlfriendOr maybe hadWas he starting all of this again?Not again! Not this time!!The root cause of this problem was GAUTAM! He's got a death wish for meI decided to call GautamAfter disturbing my sleep how could I let him sleep peacefully after all!Hello!Hello a sleepy voice answeredWhat the hell did you do that day?!!Apparently, we weren't able to discuss this lately since Gautam had been escaping each time I wanted to talk about thisThe thing which you wanted! He answered indefinitelyI agree but not in this way!I didn't want this!Ok then let me go and tell dad about thisWait! Wait! I meant not supposedly in the way you disclosed it, now Kajal and Arjun both are angry with meHmm... So what do you want to do? Gautam askedI don't know, I don't want them upset because of me maybe we should make things rightOh really? Because if that's the case nothing can be done now!What? Why!By that, you'll lose Arjun Gautam saidIt's ok but he should be happy, and I can see he is notWho said he is not? You saw what he did in the canteen today rightYeah... I stretchedThat too in front of his girlfriend and the entire officeYeah, but now we have to make a plan we need to make them happyAny ideas?If you let me sleep peacefully I'll come up with plenty in the morning he said yawningOk fine!I was about to cut the call when he saidDon't think much you'll become a scientist of course of no use he laughedYou!! Meet me tomorrow I said in an irritating toneGoodnight he saidI repeated and we slept peacefully....I went to the office and found Gautam already there, I went to him and wished him a morningHello! Got a few ideas but before that Gupta has asked you to submit these to ArjunWhat?! Me?!Yes, You! Gautam replied busy typingNow go before he fires you! He's already angryOk! I took the files and went off from there scaredAnything was easy to deal rather than an angry Gupta, if he becomes angry then no one can guarantee you a job over hereOnce I remember during a meeting a peon spilled coffee over his coat by mistake and the next thing that happened was enough to scare all of usThe peon was thrown out of the office with utmost careThank God he wasn't the one who interviewed us!!At least not me, he would have thrown me out just by looking at meI was so lost in my thoughts that I swung open the doorand before I realized what I didI saw Kajal and Arjun kissingOMG! They are kissing!! What the heck should I doThat is when my snail brain understoodGive them privacy and close the door!I waited outside the cabin and after a few minutes, Kajal came out with a smile that quickly faded as soon as she saw meKajal.. and before I could continue she left without even looking at meFine I didn't want to waste time I had to submit those damn reportsFine, I'll talk to her later!I went inside the cabinAhm.. ahm... Arjun cleared his throatDon't you know you have to knock on the door before coming in princess? Arjun said standing up from his chairI'm sorry I answered looking downThese reports are sent by Mr. GuptaI handed himOh! I'll look at them later, I have even more important work to deal with he said keeping the files on the tableHe started stepping towards me making me breathlessI stepped back as a reflex to itHis hands were soon on the wall caging me from both sides and his face inches away from mineWait! You have a girlfriend!! You cannot do this I said shutting my eyesYes, exactly! Then why did you lie to my dad about us? He questionedYou know it wasn't me! I said half opening my eyesOh is it! Then who was on the call early in the morning with me??When did I call you?!He was sleeping and I answered the call, poor you couldn't even make out the difference between me and your friendMy wide eyes and an open mouth made him smirkJust when he was about to continue there was a call and I was engagedI took my chance and went out of the cabinBefore I exited the cabin I heard a voice and turned aroundSee you again princess he winked as he spoke on the callMan! He's teasing me, why is he behaving like this?....Gautam!! I went stomping towards himWhat plans were you talking about?!On how to impress our clients that's what we were talking about yesterday right?! he made a puzzled faceOh no! That means what he said is right! I put my hands on my headWhat did he say?? Gautam asked looking toward meHe thinks I'm the one behind all of this I said hitting himWhat happened exactly?! Gautam askedI called you yesterday night and Arjun picked up the calland I told him everythingGosh! He heard everything?! You are in trouble lady! He'll do everything to take revengeAnd how the hell did you not know the difference between me and him?!You both sound almost the same man! And the way he spoke casually anyone would have thought that it was you!Need to change plans ASAP! Gautam saidWhat plans I askedNothing I'll tell you soonIt was almost lunchtime and I was hungry I went to the canteen and sat there alone I was eating a veg sandwich and remembered the times when Gautam, Kajal and I spent even though they weren't much I enjoyed itThat is when I saw KajalKajal! I said stopping her by standing in front of herWait I saidWhat is wrong with you?! I swear I don't have anything to do with this! This was done by...Gautam? Kajal answered rudelyDo I look like a fool Ria?! Gautam isn't a child to do something like that!Forgive me Kajal but I have nothing to do with it!Another one of my useless habits apologizing without any mistakeHow do you think I'm gonna forgive you?! You tried stealing my man you bitch!WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY!?You hung out with me, mingled with me and now you backstabbed me! I'm ashamed to have you as my friend! You liar! Don't you ever show me your face again!Tears were almost there in my eyes, but no I wasn't going to cry, she had the right to talk to me like that because she didn't know the truth, and any woman in her place would have done thatHenloo! That's it for today! Hope you liked it!! Please vote for my story and do comment I love reading them!! ❤️❤️
