"That beautiful heart of yours needs to be safe........"

As Shaurya stepped more closer to her, automatically Manjiri shifted back uncomfortably trying to put some much needed distance between them. She could sense her breath getting hitched by his actions. Somehow she managed to utter some words hoping that they may help her to escape.

"I need to go...have a lot of work to do."

She said turning to walk away only to be yanked back by his arm. He kept his hand on her arm gently making sure she didn't try to escape again.
