Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 373
The next thing Charan knew as soon as he handed over the gun, he was punched in the gut… pretty hard only to be left to face a very furious-looking Shreya staring down at him as he clenched on his stomach in pain…
“Ouch, Shreya…” Charan exclaimed unconsciously. But he never got to say anything more as Shreya practically squeezed him inside out in the name of a hug.
“You scare me like that one more time, it won’t end with just a punch!” Shreya threatened. Her heart almost stopped when he was facing Delaney… Thankfully, Zack came in time… or else she did not even want to think about the consequences.
Charan simply wrapped his arms around her rubbed her back soothingly. Her whole body was slightly shivering. He could almost hear her heart beating out of her ribs.
“Hey, I am fine… it’s okay. I knew what I was doing… she never put me in her eyes… She never wanted anything to do with me.” Charan said gently as he held her back. His hands rested on the back of her protectively as she tried to calm herself down.
He was not really foolish enough to put his life at stake to play a hero… he knows what’s at stake. But he also saw that from the moment Delaney broke in, her eyes never stayed at him even for a second.
He was in the kitchen getting some water when she broke in… and before he could react, the whole living room was filled with people in a blink of an eye.
He knew Shreya had guys guard the house, but he never thought it was this extensive. He was amazed and at the same time felt complicated. But he saw that even when Delaney was surrounded, her eyes searched for something and that something was not him… she was vigilant toward all the guys around… but not him.
Initially, Charan was also paralyzed to place… after all, training is different from experience. Only when he saw Shreya did he come back to his senses. He could sense Shreya was anxious. Not that he hadn’t seen her anxious before but this time she also seemed lost somehow as to how to deal with the whole situation. Her agitation was pretty obvious when he held her hands even though she had strived to keep her voice as casual as possible.
He also saw a sort of craziness in Delaney’s eyes. Shreya had long told him about Delaney and Darcie… so, he knew the general things about them… So, he knew unless someone was going to step in, the situation was going to get bad real soon.
So, when Shreya started talking to her… Delaney completely focused on her and even her guns were unconsciously converged on Shreya… So, he knew if Delaney felt threatened, the first person she was going to take a shot on was going to be Shreya and he couldn’t let that happen… so, he sneaked in behind the guys.
Even though he was not a short guy, compared to him, Shreya’s guys were practically giants. So, it was easy. So, he was able to reach Delaney under their cover completely concealed until he came into Shreya’s line of sight…
Almost most of his free time was spent with Zack when they were separated… he trained and Zack co-operated given he was going to have to be around Shreya for a long time… even if he did not protect Shreya, Charan needed to be able to protect himself.
And given he had an element of surprise, he was able to tackle on gun out of her… but Delaney’s speed was still unimaginable. So, they once again came to a stalemate. So, he once again did what Shreya was doing… stall for time, and distract her. He kept calm because he knew panicking was going to be of no help.
“I don’t care… you just don’t get to scare me like that again!!” Shreya mumbled back in a weak voice.
“Okay… I promise. I won’t…” Charan answered and simultaneously took her back to their room. She did not look like she was going to be able to stand on her own two feet for very long in the state she was in right now.
He sat her down on the bed and went out a get her some water. But just as he pulled out, Shreya asked alarmed, “Where are you going?”
“I am going to get you some water…” Charan said and left her in the room and went out.
Just as he walked out, he ran into Zack.
“Where is she?” Zack asked.
“Inside… I just sat her down…” Charan replied and went away.
As soon as Shreya heard someone opening the door, she looked up but then got slightly disappointed when she saw Zack instead of Charan.
Zack couldn’t help roll his eyes at that… Shreya was such an open book sometimes that it was not even funny anymore.
“Are you okay?” He asked. Even he was taken aback when he saw the scene.
“Yep… your timing was perfect,” Shreya answered slightly smiling.
Charan came back in and handed Shreya some warm milk… Shreya obediently took it without any protest.
“Are we still waiting?” Zack asked. Even though it might look like he was being cryptic… he actually was not because both of them in the room instantly understood.
“Nope… Call everyone up… I do not want Yash and Naren roaming around anymore… We will meet with them in an hour…” Shreya instructed.
Zack nodded her head and left the room.
“You want to change before going out?” Charan asked. He knew this would happen. After what happened, it was inevitable. So, he did not even bother to ask anything.
“I will change… you should to… don’t think I am going to leave you alone here. You are coming with me!!” Shreya said downing the milk.
“Shreya… I have a client meeting in the morning… I cannot just up and come with you…” Charan whɨnėd.
Shreya just looked straight at him giving him a dry look as she said, “Do I look like I care…? I am not leaving you alone here…”
