SHIVAY POV

Days were running like crazy. I want to finish most of the work before marriage so I can spend some time with her peacefully and work is never-ending.

It’s already been 15 days and I haven’t seen her. And still, 14 days left for marriage, her absence is making me insane.

I have been shouting at people like a mad man and workload is not helping me either.

I almost every day see her in video calls but right now I want to hold her in my arms. God nothing is helping. I need her right here right now.

A knock on the door broke my thoughts and I said "come in."

My assistant entered and said, "Sir we have lost Vipro’s contract."

Hearing this I raise my eyebrow "How is it possible? We have bid the best price then how come it happened and no one else can give this price, we have all the infrastructure which no one else has in India so how come it happened? And who got the contract?"

He shivered a little and said "Kabra's."

I closed my eyes, this Virendra Kabra has become a pain in the ass.

I opened my eyes and spoke to "find out how they got it."

"Sir, I already did and I think we have mol between us. Because they have quoted 1rs less than our quote."

I nod said, "you may leave."

Now everything is taking a toll on me and I want my peace before I go mad or do something which I regret later.

And only thought came into my mind and I picked up my phone and called.

SHIPRA POV

I got up with so much pain in my back and it’s the first day of my period.

I took a hot shower which calmed my body a little bit and wore black pants, blue satin full sleeve top, and matching black stilettos, applied little mascara and lip-gloss, and got ready for work. I took painkillers and went down.

I saw everyone eating breakfast, I wished everyone "good morning" and sat on a chair and started eating.

Masa spoke "Shipra dear we still have to finalize lots of things when will you be free? You work like crazy. "

I looked at her and said "Masa just 5 more days and then I will be on my leave so please leave me till then, I have lots of pending work and which have to finish before I go on leave. "

Masa huff and asked, "Did you even design your wedding dress or not?"

I smile, "I did for both of us and it will be ready in two days and then I will show you."

Hearing this masa smile and nods in agreement.

I bid goodbye to everyone and started walking but I noticed didi has been very quiet these days. God is so busy that I didn't even have time to talk to her.

Today after work the first thing I will do is this, with that thought I left for the office, with of course my bodyguards.

I started finishing my last moment pending work. I am almost done with that. Today I have my final presentation at four in the evening with my seniors. I just hope everything goes well.

Pehu was a big help these days and she will be taking care of the staff in my absence so she needs to be aware of everything. I have already informed her about everything and we are all set.

It’s almost time to quickly go to the restroom to freshen up and change my sanitary napkin. “God how I hate this period, God why you made me girl" thinking that I made some faces in irritation and went to my cabin for my laptop.

I called pehu and we both left for the conference room.

The presentation was going nicely and I could see happy faces. I was in the middle of the presentation and explaining some key points but some barge inside the conference room and I saw everyone got up.

I looked towards the door and he was standing there with all his glory and looking at me.

Yes, Looking at me.

I again looked towards others and thought why they stood up and then again I realized after all he is the king.

So it’s for respect wow my man is famous hmm. My mind mocked My Man hmmm. And I said shut up.

I again looked at him and he started taking steps towards me and I gulped my saliva. He stood beside me, Oh how much I miss these eyes,

Looking at me said "Shrinivasan Miss Rathor has some important work, so she has to leave, manage her work," saying that he looked towards Sir and he nodded and I could see he was sweating.

But why?

And how did he know my senior’s name?

He held my hand and started dragging me towards the lift, the whole office was looking at us shockingly, and now what is their problem?

I called him "Hukum Hukum" but he did not reply,

I again said "Hukum" but he was walking so fast that I couldn't match his step so finally, I said "Shivay" and he stopped.

I took one step ahead and turn to his side and put my hand on his chest and I could feel his running heartbeats, I look into his eyes and asked "What happened?"

He closes his eyes I know he is controlling his emotions, he opens his eyes and said "I want you"

I know something must have happened I just nod and said "Wait a minute," I look at the other side and my colleague Preeti was standing there and looking at me like she has never seen me before, I rolled my eyes internally and said, "Preeti can u get my bag from my cabin?"

She nods and runs towards my cabin come back in a few seconds. God did she fly or what. I thanked her and looked at Shivay and nodded at him.

He again held my hand and started walking towards the lift.

We came out of the building and bodyguards were following us in different cars.

Meanwhile, I informed Masa I am with Shivay.

We reached the Penthouse and went up. He opened the door and I was behind him, the moment we got in, I closed the door and hugged him as my life depended on him.

I know right now he needs this and I need this too,

This is the first time I hugged him properly and man this feels so good, His hot breath was funning on my neck and I felt ticklish.
