Chapter twelve: Permission granted.

It had been a week and three days.

Not that Yashraj was counting but it had indeed been a week and three days and Rashi still hadn't agreed to go out with him.

Maybe that's the reason he was grumpy.

Also, having Arjun around didn't really cheer him up.

Though Arjun had back off but he was still hanging around Mahaya.

And the fact that he liked her didn't make it any better for Yashraj.

Honesty? He had a bad week.

He was silent on the way to the office and Mahaya didn't even ask him about it.

Maybe another reason why he was in a bad mood.

They got stuck in traffic, as usual.

"So, you want to talk about it?" Mahaya asked, once she brought the car to a halt.

Seeing this traffic, they weren't going to move any time soon.

"Talk about what?" Yashraj asked nonchantaly.

Internally, he was smiling.

So she did notice.

"Why are you in a bad mood? You didn't even have your daily dose of chocolate." She teased.

That's right. Everyday before leaving, Yashraj would have a chocolate. One day it would be a 5-Star, one day it'd be a Dairy Milk.

"Like it matters to you." He grumbled.

"Of course it matters to me." She said, placing her hand over his.

Yashraj gripped onto it.

"It looks like you spend all of your time with Arjun now."

"That's not true. I spend it with you guys too." She argued.

"No. It's always Arjun. Arjun this, Arjun that. Oh, he's so funny."

"Well, he is."

Yashraj let go of her hand.

"What I am saying is, he's new and he doesn't know many people. I'm just trying to make him welcomed." Mahaya shrugged, trying to make amends.

"I don't like him. Stay away from him." Yashraj insisted like a stubborn child.

"I don't like Rashi. That didn't stop you, did it?" Mahaya challenged.

Sometimes Yashraj forgot how good a lawyer she is.

"So is this what it is? I went for Rashi so you go for Arjun?"

"No! What makes you think that?!" Mahaya asked, shocked that he would even think that.

She was repulsed by Rashi, yes, but she didn't do this for vengeance. She genuinely liked Arjun.

"So you will date him?" Yashraj asked, raising his eyebrow.

The traffic had started moving now and Mahaya revived the engine.

"If he asks me out, then yes."

Well, then I'll have to make sure he doesn't ask you.

Yashraj thought to himself.

Both of them got out of the car and to their offices without speaking a word to each other.
