Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Sanaya was hella tired. She just followed Mihanna's steps during the photo shoot. She could not even say 'no' as at first she already gave her her words that she would help her.

She went back home and fell asleep as soon as she laid herself on the bed, she was exhausted.

The Next Morning

Sanaya could hear the ringtone she was familiar with. With her half-closed eyes, she started searching for her cell phone. As she got it, she held it near her ear and spoke in a half sleepy tone," hello".

"I am waiting outside of your door. Open the door." Hearing the familiar voice from the opposite side of the call, Sanaya was shocked. She sat on the bed and wiping her eyes she widened them as she looked at the phone screen to see the caller.

Pulling herself together she got up to her bed quickly. Without looking at the mirror and checking whether she was looking presentable or not she ran towards the door.

She grabbed her phone in one hand and opened the door in a hurry. Then she was shocked, she saw Nick standing in front of her, just outside the door.

Nick was standing in person in front of her. She could not believe this, as she pinched herself she understood that it was not a dream but he was a real one. When she was trying to clear her mind, she heard him asking, "what are you doing?" Sanaya moved away and said, "You! what are you doing here in this early morning?"

Nick looked at her head to toe for a moment and he cleared his throat. "What?" Saying so as Sanaya looked at herself she saw she was in her half sleeves t-shirt and silk shorts. She touched her hair which was messy.

"You are looking cute." As he said so looking at her she crossed both of her arms over her chest, coughing.

Nick replied," I am here to pick you up for work."

As he replied she mumbled, "Why Maa Tara(a Hindu goddess)..."

"What?" She looked at him as he questioned and she answered, "Nothing."

"Ohh." Nick walked into her room slowly while having his hands in his pockets.

Seeing him walk inside her room she held his hand and said, "Wait! You can't just walk in my room like this!" Nick raised one of his eyebrows and said, "Why not?"

She replied, "Because this is a girl's room and you are a boy. You can not just get into my room."

"It would not be right if I was just a man. We are going to get married so this is absolutely fine for me to enter your room." He was about to sit on her bed when she pulled him by the corner of his blazer.

She dragged him towards the door. Pushing him out of her room she announced, "I told you, we are not getting married because I don't want to marry you and that's all. Please, stop doing it. I don't really like you acting this way." And then she closed the door, leaving Nick standing outside of her room.

"This is so frustrating. I cannot understand what's wrong with this man. He seems totally fine but acts as if he is somewhat crazy as if he has some problem." Sanaya thought.

Getting ready for work as Sanaya walked out of her room she was surprised. She saw Nick stand just a bit away from her, pretending as if she did not see him she just walked past him when he followed her from behind.

As Sanaya saw Clara, she asked her, "why did you let this stalker get in our house?"

"How could I just tell him not to get in and tell him to leave?" Clara answered, looking at Sanaya while holding a plate of food.

Sanaya was about to sit on the chair for breakfast but as she saw Nick she looked at him with anger in her eyes. "I will ask again why are you here this early in the morning? It doesn't make sense."

Giving her no response Nick sat on a chair just to the left of Sanaya. He said," I have told you already. Miss Clara, Can I have breakfast with you guys?"

Sanaya looked at Clara to tell her in a gesture that she must not agree, she should tell him to leave right now but Clara nodded her head with a wide smile at him and said, "Sure. It would be my pleasure if you would eat here in my house with us."

Sanaya rolled her eyes, a man just took her best friend away from her. Giving Sanaya no importance both Clara and Nick started eating their food on their plates.

Sanaya could not take it, she was not going to tolerate this. Turning around when she was about to leave he grabbed her hand and pulled her all of a sudden. Before she could react she was already sitting on the lap of Nicolas. Oh my goodness! Sanaya rolled her eyes and looked at him.

Sanaya tried getting up when he kept one of his hands on her thighs and grabbed food with his left hand then he said, "Let's go together ok?"

She was already angry and he did not even care. He focused on his plate.

Looking at him angrily, she said, "You can go alone. Thank you."

"No, we are going together. I told you." Nick was going to hold the spoon before her mouth when she spoke, "I am not eating." He smiled and put the food on the plate.

"I told you I don't want to then please Mr. Nick. Let me go!" said Sanaya, trying to get out of his grip.

Clara was noticing everything. She had to hold onto her laughter, she wanted to laugh louder.

"Ok, since you don't want to have breakfast then you can at least accompany me." As she heard him she got angrier she spoke, "And why should I? You are the one who is eating. I am just starving myself and you…"

Before she could finish Nick had put a spoonful of food in her mouth. She could not say anything anymore with food in her mouth. Nick smiled and continued eating and meanwhile he fed her too. Whenever she opened her mouth to talk she got a spoonful of food in her mouth.

After having breakfast both of them left Clara's house together. On the way, Nick was sitting next to Sanaya in the car. She did not want to get in his car, he just forced her to do so. She could not believe from where did that man was getting his authorization on her. Strange! Sanaya wanted to leave but could not because the car was yet to arrive at the Corporation.

As the car stopped at the parking lot Sanaya thought it was her chance. She was about to get out but suddenly he grabbed her hand and made her look at him. She turned her head towards him, widening her eyes and she asked him, "What are you doing now? We are here, I am going..."

"I told you we are going together." She jerked her hand away and said, "I told you that I am not going with you. Please stop doing this, stop forcing me. Mr. Nick."

When she said Mr. Nick he started losing his patience. He disliked it. He disliked her calling him Mr. Nick. He told her to call him only by his name but it seemed she did not want to listen.

He held her hand forcibly when she started struggling to get away. "What are you…" she felt he was hurting her. For a moment she could not feel that he was any gentle but then he let her hand go and got out of the car. Rubbing her hand she thought he had a kinda hard to understand personality. She opened the car door by her side but then she met him again.

He was standing in front of Sanaya. "No please…" she greeted her teeth and tried to calm her head. At first, she thought she would get out from the other side of the car as he already got out.

He grabbed her hand and took her in his arms then he ordered Kyle, "Get her things on her desk right now."

As he started walking while having her in his arms Sanaya felt helpless; he was much stronger than she thought. There was no way she would punch him and getting hurt he would just put her down. She bit her lips at the thought of it. "If I punch him, maybe my hand will hurt. Oh my goodness!"

Nick was standing in front of the common elevator still having her in his arms. She was so embarrassed as all the employees were looking at her with the same disgusting look they gave her the previous day, it was telling that she was just his employee who just joined the company a week ago and now she was already in their boss's lap, they could not tell what dirty things she did just to get in his lap. Sanaya felt like they were saying so to her.

"Hey! See we are already here. I can go alone. Please put me down.", She said in a soft tone. Nick looked at her, "What am I doing? I am taking you to your desk."

"Look at your employees. They are looking at me."

"So what?" He said. The same as that day, Sanaya clenched her fists. "I can not be rude. Calm down, calm down."

"What do you mean so what? They are looking at me because I am in your arms. Can you understand it? Can you understand my situation or can you please try to understand my situation at least?"

As Nick looked at the employees a bit away from him, they lowered their eyes, acting as if they were looking in another direction.

Thinking that he was going to say the same thing that he said the previous day, Sanaya covered his mouth with both of her hands and said, "No. Don't say anything ok?" "As you say." He got in the common elevator when Kyle was about to get in, Nick gave him a cold gaze.

Kyle stepped back and the elevator door closed. As soon as the elevator door closed everybody started gossiping. Kyle could hear them.

"What is Boss trying to do? Why do I feel like he is not sincere towards her? As if he is just showing off… Will they get married? And if they do then, will she be just a housewife? I don't feel quite good about what he is doing… Boss, is he really into Miss Sanaya? What is going to happen?"

In the elevator, Sanaya pinched Nick so he let her down. When he put her down she took some steps away from him and then she said, "I want to talk to you. I want to make something clear."

"Go ahead," he declared.
