It had been an hour since she left with Ajay. Vikrant was getting impatient. He was not able to concentrate in his work.

"Where the hell Ajay took her? Why  hasn't she come back yet? She is here for me or for spending time with Ajay?....." He mumbled getting agitated.

"Sir.... Is this all right?..." Mr. Grover asked.

"Huhhh.... What?" He asked while coming out in reality.

"What happened sir? You seem lost somewhere. I was telling you about appointing the editor... Mr. Kumar.... Is it ok?... He did fabulous job in our previous movie. I think we should appoint him in this movie too....." He explained.

"Ya... Ya...definitely... Call him and tell him to meet me....Ummm.... Is there anything else Grover? Actually I remembered some work..." He asked while once again looking at his watch. It was fifth time in a span of thirty minutes that he was checking the time.

"No sir... That's all..." Mr. Grover replied while standing up and left instantly and as he left Vikrant too stood up and started wandering back and forth while watching time.

He was loosing his patience. His eyes were stuck at the door hoping to see her but still there was no sign of her.

"What is this behavior?...Is my office that massive that she needs a whole day to look around? It's enough now. I have to see.... Where is she?" He said and finally went out of his cabin. He was coming down from the stairs when the sound of laughter penetrated his ears and his feet stopped immediately. He knew it was her. He could recognize her laugh, the sweet melodious sounds which always mesmerized him. It was coming from the conference hall. He instantly went there and slightly opened the door to peek inside.

There she was laughing like crazy while holding her waistline. ... Her laugh....that bright smile, that pure joy in her sound automatically made him to forget what he was doing and he just stood there like a statue and started smiling too when he saw her laughing wholeheartedly. She was looking so adorable. Nowadays it gave him immense pleasure whenever he saw her smile. He opened the door little bit more to see her properly when suddenly his smile vanished as he saw Ajay standing beside her.

"I must say Ajay.... You are really funny....." He heard Avni and his forehead frowned to see them together.

"Whatttt?....really.....Ajay...." Vikrant felt envious to see how informally she called his name.

"Wow! Now she became so comfortable with Ajay in just second meeting that she is calling him by his name as if she knows him since childhood, while it's been month since she is staying with us but never once I heard my name from her pretty mouth. She always addresses me as Mr. Kashyap... Can't she call me Vikrant? Why can't she take my name. Just for once I want to listen my name in her voice..." He was complaining in low tone. He was behaving like an insecure person and that too when she had no idea about him.

"Really..... So here is another one....." Ajay said and was about to crack another joke when she intruped him

"No, no, no... Please..please stop. It's enough... My cheeks and tummy are hurting with this continues laughing... I can't take that anymore.... Please Ajay...." Here she goes once again calling him by his name and made Vikrant to burn in jealousy.

"As you wish..... So now tell me what would you like to have...tea, coffee....you know you will get the bestest coffee in  our canteen...." Ajay offered smiling.

"No ...nothing. Thanks for asking."  She said and and checked the time.

"Oh My God...." She suddenly gasped.

"What happened?" Ajay asked

"Ajay, look at the time. Omg....I should just go and check Mr. Kashyap if he needs anything..." She replied.
