Chapter 8A



Khushi’s POV


I paced left right in my cabin, thinking of every possibility, every excuse I can give to Ayush Singh Raizada so that he doesn’t push me to Abu Dhabi with his son who is going there to meet his mother and they both would be attending a wedding where I am uninvited.


“Ma’am, you are hurting your legs.”


This is the second time Aman has reminded me in the past one hour. I haven’t been able to sit in peace since last night when Ayush Sir gave suggested this.


“I need an excuse Aman, not your sympathy.”

Aman holds his laughter which he always does when I say something like this, as if I am cracking a joke and not giving him orders.


“Why don’t you just deny Ayush Sir and tell him you will meet ASR directly at the conference in Oman?”

“I had thought that but we will get the project file ready not before ASR flies to Abu Dhabi and since I am supposed to shadow him all the deals that happening in AR group, we need to make sure we both are on the same page in terms of the Project report. So, these two days of us in Abu Dhabi is the only time we can do that. Discuss the report and make plans to sign off the deals in Oman.”


Aman sighs on my response.

“Then I suggest, you should fly to Abu Dhabi, and stick to this schedule. Though I wish we had, but we don’t have any other option yet to escape that Ma’am.”


He is right. if we had an option, I would be the first one to utilize it. Whatever! I might fly to Abu Dhabi but that doesn’t mean I will attend the wedding. I can stay and rest in the hotel and when Arnav returns from the wedding, we can discuss the project report.


“Fine. Book my tickets then.” I command.

“Uhh.. ASR is flying in his Private Jet which means you are flying in that too, Ma’am.”



Private Jet? I roll my eyes. I have heard from his father that he is very fond of his private jet. That man surely loves his extravagant life and is entirely different from his father Ayush Singh Raizada who still prefers to travel in commercial flights booking first class tickets.


“Fine. Then let him know I am flying with him next week.”

“Sure”

Arnav’s POV


One-week flies like one day and here I am at the Private airport, waiting for Miss Gupta to arrive. We are flying together in my private jet and I can’t believe she is still not here when we have to take off in 45 minutes. I am about to dial Aman and check when I finally see her car. Thank Goodness!! Khushi gets down the car in a black jeans and a denim shirt. She slides a blue branded purse in her arm while her driver hands over her luggage to my flight attendant who starts loading it in the jet immediately. I have never seen Miss Gupta in casuals let alone in a denim before. She looks… ummm… super gorgeous!! F***!! What the hell is wrong with me? I don’t want to look at her that way but my body betrays me every time she wears such cool outfits. With her hair tied into a thick silky pony tail and a black aviators hiding her eyes, Khushi strides to me without a smile!!


“You are 30 minutes late.” I divert my thoughts and the best way to do so is by instigating her for a debate.

“You should speak to your father for that. He had some last-minute additions to be done to the deal.”


Really? So typical Dad, He always keeps the best decisions for the last minute. I wonder what is it this time. Khushi takes off her aviators admiring my Jet.


“That’s one heck of a Private Jet Mr. Raizada.”


Though I like her praising my Jet, I still turn to my left and right as if looking for someone.



“What?” she asks confused by my reactions.

“You said Mr. Raizada. I thought Dad is here. You can call me Arnav or ASR, just stop being so damn formal all the time.”


Khushi rolls her eyes at me.


“And I thought you like people respecting you..” she teases. “Anyways, ASR is fine.. I will use that henceforth.”


Why not Arnav? Why did she choose ASR? Will Arnav be too personal? Of course, I don’t ask her that and follow her in my jet. Khushi has called me Arnav before, why not continue it? This woman is always a mystery. She gives a thorough glance to the lavish interiors and takes her seat. I take the one opposite to her. Of course, I could have used the one adjacent to her so that we don’t have to face each other but since we are flying together for three hours, we can do some business too. She doesn’t seem to mind. Fastening our seatbelts, we are ready for takeoff.


******************

Khushi’s POV

It’s been an hour since the plane took off and me and Arnav are still discussing the deal and the last-minute changes his father wanted. Arnav seems happy about it. The cabin attendant treats us with enough coffees to keep our minds working but now when she comes again, she’s ready to serve us meals. We wind up work and begin the three-course meal. I am a poor eater and Arnav notices it.


“That’s it? You won’t eat anything else?” he sounds totally surprised.

“I eat less but sufficient enough to keep me alive ASR.”

“Only staying alive is not a necessity Khushi. You have to stay fit and healthy. I don’t like women who eat less only because they are figure conscious.”


I am taken aback.

“Excuse me? Why should I even be bothered what women you like or don’t like?”


He gives me the same surprised look which I have on my face right now.

“We co-work so I want you to stay fit. Isn’t that enough for you to consider that?”


No!! Definitely no. No one has paid so much attention to my eating habits. Arnav is first!!


“Get her some more parathas.” Arnav says to the attendant who ushers at his request.


I want to deny but I don’t. I really was hungry so maybe one more paratha won’t be that bad right now. By the way did I mention, amidst all this I noticed Arnav Singh Raizada is totally a foodie? He eats like he is feasting all the time. I wonder how much does he workout because this man is still in shape. His abs, toned muscles and that V shaped body surely can’t be maintained with so much calories intake and no gym. Wait! Did I praise his physique? I never did that before to any man. Not even in my head.!!
