It's All Started With A Lie

Chapter- 25 Threatening?

Arnav's POV

The castle which was built on lies will collapse sooner or later, so don't try to build your relationship on lies, Arnav. Payal's words ringing in my ears, making me restless.

If I don't tell her now, then Payal will tell for sure and she will also inform Avi.

I asked her how she knows; she told me that she saw my picture on Avi's phone and Avi told her about me and Ajay and about our friendship.

She also said that she doesn't want us to ruin our friendship with misunderstandings again. That's why she didn't say anything to Avi. She is so nice, just like Avi. They can make a good pair.

I decided to tell Avi first and then I will tell Naina as soon as possible. I asked him to come to my office in the evening after work and he agreed.

It's already 3pm. I only have 3 hours to prepare myself to tell Avi, but how will he react? Oh my God, this brother and sister are making me nervous and tense. I never felt nervous even when I am dealing with millions worth projects but feeling nervous just to tell my friend that I like his sister and more nervous to tell the woman I like that I am rich and I have money to buy you anything you want.

"Sir, the project team is here for the meeting", Peter said, bringing me back to reality.

"Did I have a meeting now?", I asked and he nodded saying "Yes, sir".

"Ok, send them in", I ordered as I don't want to make them wait. Work is first.

They came in and we discussed the project and I told them corrections which need to change. After two hours the meeting was completed, then I was engrossed in work as I can't sit ideally without working.

I looked at the time while working on my computer and it was 6pm, he can be here  any time soon.

While I was thinking, Ajay barged into my office.

"Don't you know how to knock?" I remarked, annoyed. He never knocks before coming.

"No, I don't know. Can you teach me?" he raised his eyebrow as he settled on the couch.

"Why are you so annoying?", I asked as I sat on the single seat couch.

"Because you need some entertainment in your boring life", he replied, mockingly.

"My life is not boring as you who fell for the woman who already has a boyfriend", I said sarcastically. Teasing and making fun of each other was our language from childhood.

"Oh... I forgot how adventures your life is... always trying to hide your identity in front of your woman", he mocked and I fell silent.

"I was just joking. Don't design my murder plan in your head", he yelped when I was not talking anything.

"I was planning to transfer you to Andaman", I remarked lazily, leaning my head on the headrest.

"No, you can't be serious", he muttered.

"I am pretty serious".

"How can you live without me, baby. You know right that I love you", he said, acting dramatic as he tried to sit on my lap.

"Why are you always trying to sit on my lap?" I yelled and pushed him off me.

"I am obsessed with your thick thighs, man... look at that strong body and thick thighs", he remarked flirtingly.

"Don't come near me. I don't trust you with my safety", I said and pushed him on the couch, away from me.

"Baby...", he whined.
