My One And Only - Chapter 28 What Do You See In Her?
Fed up of all this, Arnav had finally called a meeting. But hearing nothing new from their side after an hour of non stop discussion, his patience had finally died out. Unfortunately, he couldn’t fire an entire department to begin with.
Seeing the faces in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel his temper rise. They really incompetent. Saying nothing, he got up and made his way out of the conference room.
Reaching his cabin, he slumped on to his seat. Thinking hard, he buzzed the call button. George came in immediately.
” Get in Murat ” he said, without looking up at him.
” Yes boss. ”
If there was really a person who could help him do this, it was Murat. He was sure he wouldn’t refuse. After all they were kind of like brothers. Gazing in the space, he thought about their old times, smiling a little.
Almost an hour had passed when the office door opened again. Expecting it to be George, he looked up. The visitor gave him a shock, it was Nina. Coming in, she sat on the seat directly in front of him, looking at him.
Arnav said nothing, waiting for her to speak. After a few minutes, when he didn’t say anything, Nina broached the topic.
” What do you see in her? ”
Arnav sighed. As he had expected, she just wouldn’t let it go.
” That’s not your concern. ” he replied coldly, averting his eyes from her gaze.
” It is ” Nina replied forcefully, her voice rising. Arnav raised his eyes at her tone. The day was just turning out to be horrible. Firstly, no progress in company projects because of which he was highly frustrated and now this. He really didn’t have time to listen to her rant about Sofya all day.
Getting up, she walked towards him. Arnav turned around in his seat following her moves. Nearing him, she removed her trench coat.
Arnav’s eyes widened. Inside she was wearing nothing but a skimpy dress so that she looked nothing less than a seductress. Daringly, she went and sat on Arnav’s lap, gazing at him.
Immediately, he tightened his arm around her waist. Taking that as a yes sign, she began caressing his face with a single finger, grabbing his chin. Never in her dreams she would have thought this would be so easy.
The office door opened again. This time it was Sofya and Murat who waltzed in, laughing.
Seeing the sight in front of them, Murat and Sofya both stopped in their tracks.
As soon as the door opened, Nina stood up, smiling slyly at Sofya. Arnav was shocked. He didn’t think Sofya would come today and that too in his office.
Sofya’s face was as rigid as a stone. Her black oval eyes were burning as it darted between Nina and Arnav. Murat was staring at Arnav as if he couldn’t believe him. He had vouched for him to Sofya, and now this.
Arnav started forward. ” I can explain. ” he said hastily, his eyes glued to Sofya’s face.
But before he had gone more than two steps, Nina clung on to his arm from behind.
” Honey, don’t leave me. ” Nina said in her sugar coated voice. Arnav cringed. Shaking his arm out of her grip, he walked towards Sofya, hoping to explain the situation to her.
However, when he reached her, she was glaring at him, distrust clearly written on her face.
” Sofya, I — ”
Walking past him towards Nina, Sofya clenched her fist. If she really was so shameless, there was no harm in teaching her a little lesson, was there? As she stood in front of her, Nina continued smiling sickly at her.
It angered her more by the second. Sofya’s patience was running out and her temper was flaring. The scene which she had walked on in before, barely gave her a chance to think about her actions.
