SHIPRA POV

 

I got up and checked the time and curse as I am late so run towards the bathroom and took a quick shower and got ready for the office.

 

I checked myself in the mirror and Jesus Christ I have to hide this god damn mark so I dialed Pehu and she picks up the phone in two rings and said good morning Rani Sahiba ( Queen)

 

Rolling my eyes and said I don’t have time for your stupidity tell me fast how to hide Mmmmm I thought for a minute’ how to tell her so and then I got the idea. 

 

Did I tell you how smart I am? Well if not please note this. 

 

"And I said mosquito bite mark," I said biting my nails.  

 

Which she asked "why do you want to hide mosquito marks? "

 

I rolled my eyes again at her interrogation and said "because it's a wrong place and not looking nice now will you tell me fast am getting late for office."

 

Pehu: "Where is the mark?" Now Sherlock is awake.

Me: "Why you want to know?"

 

Pehu: Tell me’ you know you getting late right.

 

Me: I groaned and said "on my neck.

 

Pehu: Oh!

 

Me: Oh what?

 

Pehu: Nothing Just?

 

Me: Raised my one eyebrow and asked "just what?"

 

Pehu: How big Mosquito was?

 

Me: "Why are going to send a search squad for him and how would I know?"

 

Pehu: Ya I might, and if you don’t know then who will know?

 

Me: Will stop it and tell me what to do before I kill you?

 

Pehu: I asked a simple question how big mosquito was? 6 ft?

 

Me: Hearing here I become cherry tomato. And stared coughing.

 

Pehu: She started laughing like a mad women. And said "oh my munchkin you are too cute. You don’t need to hide anything from me. You could’ve asked me directly how to hide your hickey darling."

Me: I rolled my eyes and said "whatever, now will you?"

 

Pehu: Take the concealer and apply first and then apply foundation sand you are good to go.

 

Me: I did and it was gone like never before. I smile like a kid and said thank you my pehu-pehu you are a lifesaver." 

 

Hearing me she said, "whatever now reach office fast am waiting for each detail about the mosquito so hurry up." 

 

I shake my head and bid goodbye and run downstairs after taking my bag.

 

I reach the dining room and said Masa I am leaving. 

Masa asked me to eat but I denied saying I am getting late which Masa gives me a disapproving look and then I hear didi’s voice saying, "it's ok Masa let her go she will eat something at the office, she is no more a baby." 

 

Hearing this I look at her and saw her frustrated expression but she instantly changes the moment she notices me looking at her and smile. 

 

I felt a little weird but I ignore and rush towards my car and oh, my bodyguard open my car door for me and wish me good morning, and one set on the driver seat, and the other set beside the driver. 

 

And I roll my eyes but well can’t help so huff and ask their name and got to know and Samir and Anand.

 

I look outside and got lost in my thoughts about yesterday’s event ad got a blush on my cheeks and then message him a quick good morning.

 

In 20 mint we reached my office and rush towards the building and Samir Bhai my bodyguard started following me.

 

Seeing this I stopped and asked him "where do you think you are going?" 

 

And reply "behind you Rani Sa. I have been ordered to be with you like a shadow." 

 

Hearing this I could not control my anger and called Shivay. In a two-ring, he picks up and says "missing me already Rani Sa?"

 

His husky voice calms me a little bit but again I remember why I called so again am back to my angry version asked. "Did you asked bodyguards to be with me like a shadow?"

 

Which, he "hmmm." 

 

And that made me angrier. "You know that I am not a queen as yet and this is my office, it's so embarrassing for me." 

 

Hearing me he spoke again "Rani Sa I told you before and again I am saying I am not going to take any chance of your security."

 

I closed my eyes and calm myself a little and explain to him. "Hukum this is my office. I work here like normal people do, and I don’t want to be the talk of the town. I understand your concern, and I am not even arguing about that but please keep them out of my office. I am ok with them everywhere but not in the office please try and understand."

 

He did not say anything for a few seconds I know he is angry but my reason is valid too.

 

Then said "ok he will be outside your office but apart from this, there is no way or no place where he won’t follow you. Ok?"

 

I smile said "absolutely ok, thank you so so so much now bye I am getting late."

 

And again he "hmmm." 

 

I smile internally I know he is angry but will make it up later first I have to reach up as soon as possible so I rush towards the office and the bodyguard was talking to a phone and nodding in agreement and I know who’s call is. 

 

I went into the lift and press the button on my floor and reach there in a few seconds. 

 

I went directly into my cabin and started checking my upcoming designs and hear the knock and I look up and saw Pehu was peeking inside, looking at her I roll my eyes and told her pehu am busy and I will talk to you at lunchtime. 

 

Hearing me she pout and said, "ok I’ll be waiting."

 

I have been working for hours and it's lunchtime already.
