Kapitel 57: Chapter 56

Shreya went straight to Akash's office.

She took off her sling bag and discarded it on the couch and sat on them as usual with her legs crossed. For a change, instead of denim, she was actually wearing camouflage pants that were a little too big for her with white tees.

"What are you doing here still?? Weren't you going home??" Akash asked surprised seeing Shreya still at the office.

"Yes… I was. In a minute." Shreya said leaning back comfortably on the couch.

Akash did not reply. He just let her be and went back to his own desk to continue his work.

"Fixed your screw up??" Shreya asked leaning her chin on her hand.

"Yup…" Akash replied without looking up from his work.

"You mean you begged her to stop crying??" Shreya asked rolling her eyes.

"Yup… Works every time." Akash agreed once again.

"Oh, hey Madhu… Don't tell me you heard that??" Shreya said turning towards the doors.

Akash looked up so fast that his neck could have a crack but all he was met with were shut doors.

"What the hell Shreya??" Akash asked irritated.

Shreya gave him a sarcastic grin and got up from the couch. But before going aways, "You keep being so oblivious to your surroundings, she is going to end up with someone else. And I am not lending my shoulders when the time comes." She said and sassed away.

Akash, of course, did not understand any damn shit Shreya just said. He just shook his head and went back to work not bothering to think about what Shreya meant just now.

Shreya then went to Madhu and just said one sentence, "He is an idiot."

"What??" Madhu asked confused.

"Instead of crying, you should consider giving him a tight slap next time. Maybe he will end up growing some brains"

Shreya said and walked away.

Madhu just blinked at her back for an extended minute but she still did not understand what she meant. And like Akash, she too went back to work without giving it much thought.

...........................…

Shreya's sneakers did not make any noise as she entered CHaran's office. As naughty as she was, she sneaked up from behind him. He was on the phone while simultaneously noting down something. Since the door was situated on the left-hand corner behind him, Shreya easily sneaked up and hovered behind him a peaked on what he was writing. But it was the name of a hotel in the city.

"What are you doing??" Shreya asked without bothering to move away. Her voice rand right beside his ears freaking the crap out of him.

"What the hell!!"

Charan jumped in his chair in fright. He moved away and looked up. But when he saw that it was Shreya, he suddenly scrambled and covered up everything on the paper he was writing just now and cut the call in a hurry.

Shreya looked at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing??" She asked giving him a scrutinizing glance.

Charan's face slightly paled but he managed to look normal and said, "Nothing, it's work. Just work stuff…"

Shreya did not bother asking more. She was not the one to pry anyways. And her lack of curiosity helped too!

So instead she opened up her sling bag and took out a bunch of papers and files. All of them landed on the desk in front of Charan with a loud thud.

"What are these??" Charan asked flipped through a few of them.

"These… these are all the legal and other documents required to start the construction of the mall. Everything is approved as per your plan. There is also a construction contract. It's in the name of our subsidiary." Shreya said. She couldn't keep the grin out of her face.

"But it's only been two weeks since we submitted the plan. How did you get all these approved so fast??" Charan asked astonished. After all the legal system was dead slow in this country.

"I have my ways," Shreya said with a proud smile.

"Now, all you have to do is watch over the construction and keep them within the budget." Shreya continued hoisting herself on the table.

CHaran checked whether all the papers are in order when Ajay walked in. His face beamed as soon as he saw Shreya and that happiness was actually mutual.

Shreya hopped down from the table and went near him eagerly greeting him with a hug.

"Long time buddy…" Shreya said ruffling Ajay's head. Ajay was the only male adult who was just about her own height. Everybody else around her was practically giraffes compared to her. And on top of, Ajay acted like a kid with her. SO she particularly liked him.

"I know. I have been busy…" Ajay pouted childishly and said.

"Busy playing with teddy bears??" Shreya teased.

"No… I was busy with work. You see WORK??" He emphasized waving the files in his hand but then went on to say, "And what is wrong with playing with teddy bears?? My daughter loves it!!"

He looked so self-righteous that Charan did not know whether he was acting like an idiot or he is one.

"Which kinda is my point! Your daughter is 3 years old and you are not!!"Shreya said rolling her eyes.

"SO??" Ajay asked once again.

Shreya did not bother any more seeing as he was lacking something essential to argue. Brains!!

"Oh, yea… before I forget. The first payment should be in your banks. If they are not already, they will be in a few days." Shreya said to both of them.

After that, Ajay dealt with his business with Charan while Shreya went out to loiter around.

By the time Charan and Ajay came out of the office, the whole damn office stood surrounding Shreya as she told everyone something making funny faces and animated hands.

"Shreya… They are all supposed to be working!" Charan called out sighing.

"Oh, oops." She said giving a lip service before hopping down from the table she was currently sitting on. All the staff members dispersed scared while Ajay gave them a glare.

Shreya just obediently followed Charan to his office while sneakily waving byes to the office.
