Kabir stepped out of the elevator to see Paul smiling shyly at her Chahat.

Her Chahat? He was mad for thinking like that but, he couldn't control the anger when he saw the scene. Earlier, when Remi informed Kabir that Chahat has reached inside the office, he whined to Astrid as he had a meeting to attend and how he is the last person to see her.

Suddenly, after all these years, he wanted to see Chahat. He was so damn excited for it. He postponed the meeting as quickly as he could to another one and hurried back to his floor and saw that one girl he was dying to see for so long.

Yet he found Chahat close but still far away with Paul.

Kabir marched there angrily, making the rest of his employees scurry back to their work and dragged Chahat into his office. Just like some dreamy ones, Kabir's office was made up of white marble and glass.

Chahat crashed into a glass table in the process of dragging.

How rude, she huffed internally.

"Are you fucking insane?" Kabir's loud, sexy as hell voice boomed in the dark empty office.

Uh Ohhh.

"As a matter of fact, you asked me to be here." Chahat smirked, even though she knew Kabir couldn't see it.

What a fucking good start!

"I asked for someone who could handle my company and not for a bimbo show." Kabir said, smouldered with anger. Honestly, Kabir didn't want to object to her dress in the first place. He was mad about what happened earlier.

Do you think he would tell her that?

NOPE. A big fat no.

So instead, he blamed it on the silliest thing and regretted the very next second he said that.

"That's what you call it?"

"Anyone would." Kabir said, in his deep velvety voice masking his regret.

And mind you, Chahat was trapped in between Kabir's arms, her back stuck to the wall.

You're enjoying it, chahat, her conscience teased her.

Darn you, brain.

"Well, Mr Melroy, I came here to tell you that I am going out because you weren't picking up your goddamn phone." Chahat barked. Dare I tell you angrily.

How could you, Kabir? Arrogant.

"Do whatever you like but don't dress like this in my office." Kabir said.

"Yes, sir."chahat said sassily and pushed him behind and walk out. Kabir smiled at her, but since it was dark, she couldn't see it. Before Chahat could get out of the door, she was hauled back.

What is this behaviour, Mr Grumpy chicken? Chahat was angry at, Kabir and that was very obvious.

"Where are you going?" He angrily asked.

What? Why the fuck are you angry? Her mind chided.

Chahat narrowed her eyes at him in response, "Why do you care?" She voiced out.

"I have a right to know."

"What right that might be?" She was pissed, okay? First, Kabir storms in angrily. Second, he drags her out angrily and third, he yells at her?

"You, Ms Khanna, are living with me. You are my responsibility." Kabir growled.

What now you are a werewolf?

"Oops." Astrid walked in with a new face who had confusion written all over her face as the light flickered on.

"Astrid." Kabir sighed as he freed Chahat from his trap, and she happily leapt towards the smirking Astrid.

But when Chahat's eyes landed on Kabir's face, her world stopped. Those grey eyes were outstanding and wild. They held storm and peace. Just like that, Chahat was lost in Kabir's dreamy eyes and that perfect beard and perfectly chiselled face.

"Ella, I think we entered at a very inappropriate timing." Astrid turned to the new face.

Hmph ELLA. Chahat didn't like her one bit. Ella was throwing daggers at Chahat by the way she was looking at her.

"I think this is an office and certainly, she is working for you!" Ella called. Let's call Ella a bitchface right now because she is making one. Chahat chuckled lightly at her thought.

"Ella, what do you want?" Kabir might have asked Ella, but he threw sharp piercing glares at Astrid.

Can y'all feel the tension in here or, it is just me?

Chahat could sense his stare on her.

"I just wanted to drop by and say hello." Ella batted her eyelashes at Kabir. Eww, can I undo that part? Chahat thought as she was gagging at her actions.

"Ella, Zayn is out, taking care of a business meeting. You can wait in his office or go home. I don't care." Astrid sighed when Mr Grumpy chicken, said that and as for Ms Bitchface? She went out of the cabin stomping her foot like a baby.

Zayn? Why would Ella wait in his cabin? Is she his girlfriend?

They deserve each other.

Chahat had amusement written all over her face.

"Chahat, let's catch up." Astrid dragged Chahat away.

She mentally thanked Astrid.

Chahat didn't know Cali Tech welcomes people like this.

"Thanks babe, you saved me." Chahat grinned at Astrid, bumping her shoulders with Astrid

"Why are you so happy?" Astrid questioned her with an unknown look and a smirk.

"Wait, what?? What happy?"

"You have a smile on your face." Astrid wiggled her eyebrows like she always did back in high school.

Chahat didn't realise she had a smile on her face until Astrid said that loud and clear. But, the question was, why was Chahat so happy?

Probably because Ella went out stomping her foot like a kid?

"By the way, who is she?" Chahat asked Astrid curiously about Ms Bitchface.

"She is Zayn's girlfriend." Astrid sighed.

Wow, that's what he settled for? Lovely.

"If she is with Zayn, then, why on earth, was she batting her eyelashes like a teenager on Mr Grumpy chicken?" Now they had reached the Cafeteria of the office. Chahat looked around and realised people were definitely staring at her left, right and, centre.

She understood why Kabir had said bimbo show.

But hey, she thought that it was uncalled for. Kabir could have said it nicely. Really.

Back the fuck up, Chahat.

Sorry, Mumma Papa, I cuss sometimes. She silently confessed to her parents.

"Hello?" Astrid waved her hand frantically in front of Chahat's face.

"Yeah?"

"Dreaming about him already?" Astrid smirked, looking at Chahat's state.

Chahat didn't even have to ask who is he that she is talking about. I mean, literally, Kabir Melroy isn't that important.

But, he is HOOOOOOOOOT, her inner voice, chided.

Shushhh.

Basically, Chahat would hate to admit that, but yes, he is hot.

"You wish!" Chahat fake gagged, but deep down, she knew that it was true.

"Whatever floats your boat tonight." Astrid snickered.

Bitch.

"Alright, fine, I will stop. Where were you going?" Astrid asked Chahat, sipping her latte.

"Um, I didn't decide, but I want to visit my home and my parents." Chahat smiled fondly, remembering her parents.

"Need a friend?" Astrid asked, propping her chin in her palms as her elbow rested on the table.

"Of course, baby."

Once Chahat finished her coffee, they walked out of the cafeteria and office but not before crossing paths with the grumpy pants.

Chahat was sure that Kabir had a split personality, he is smiling one moment, and the other moment, he fumes as he sees her.

Grumpy chicken for sure.

Chahat shrugged off his scowl and walked away as Astrid tugged her.

Kabir's office was magnificent and sumptuous. Legit looked like one has entered a tech world made on earth.

Astrid drove them both in her car, as Chahat had none. And now, Chahat wanted a car for herself, so she decided to talk to Vivaan about it.

C: Hey

Viv: Sup, Kiddo?

C: Imma needing my car.

Viv: NO, MISS YOU? 😭😭😞

C: Dramaqueen. I miss you and mom, dad.

I hate it without y'all. How is everything there?

Viv: We miss you too. Everyone is fine, the office is boring.

C: I need a car.

Viv: I will tell Kabir to arrange that.

C: Well, no thanks. I hate grumpy pants.

Viv: 🤣🤣 Sure, tell me if your decision changes about it. See ya, sis, on video call.

C: I am visiting Mom dad.

Viv: Give my love and say to them, I miss them. I love you, kiddo and stay strong.

C: I love you too.
