I slapped her arm softly, "Never sneak up to me like that... ever..." she rolled her eyes, "Fine... but tell me what interesting did you find in these pillars that you can't stay away from them." I turned to show her that waiter and the lady but both of them vanished from sight, "Crap..." Ritika looked in the same direction and asked, "What?". Explaining to her whatever I saw she shrugged her shoulders and replied, "That's strange... maybe it was some sort of drug people consume which is prohibited to use openly." I shrugged my shoulders as well, "I don't know but that lady looked a bit shady. She had an emerald mask on her face or I would have recognized her." Ritika nodded and we walked away from that place meeting some familiar faces of the industry.
My legs were giving up standing there which felt like hours, Ritika passed me a glass of champagne and motioned me towards the different hall where the sitting arrangements were made. Soft violin music was played and some couples were dancing in the center of the room including some professional dancers. Getting a seat, I removed my heels and sit back comfortably, Ritika was staring at someone on the other side of the room. I followed her eyes; Armaan was already looking at me. His gaze ran a shiver down my spine, sipping his drink his eyes never left mine.

He gulped the whole drink and stood up from his chair walking towards me. But my vision was blocked by someone looking up DK was smiling at me. "May I know the name of this gorgeous beauty?" my lips parted to speak but he offered his hand forwards, "I was admiring you from a distance you were sitting alone. I couldn't resist the urge to ask for a dance...". I shook my head, "Thank you for your admiration but I'm very much tired and would like to decline your offer." He smiles politely and pulled the chair sitting in front of me, "No worries... but at least we can have a word together."
I nodded, "Sure... what do you wanna know?" the corners of his mouth leveled up in a smirk, "The ways you used to charm Yusuf Sheikh and snatched the deal out of our hands to bring a prestigious name to our company. Till yesterday he going to make a deal with us but now his PR team announced that they are interested to make deals in your company. But don't worry I wouldn't oppose it only if you can show me the same ways." his hand made its way towards my knee crawling up my slit. I removed his hand out of disgust, "Fuck off... you stinking old scumbag."
He pulled his hand away and chuckled, "Hard to get... I like it..." I stood up from my seat, "Shove it high up your ass because I don't give a crap about you and your stupid deals." I turned to leave when a familiar cologne filled in my nostrils driving me into ecstasy. The distance between me and Armaan was minimal. His eyes were deep in emotions looking away from me he gave a look at DK. "Keep your dirty hands to yourself DK or you might end up without one." DK stood up hissing in anger, "How can you say that to me Armaan? This bitch got the deal you and I worked for months." Armaan took a glance at me and sighed, "Yusuf will change his decision just give me some time to get it done."
I opened my mouth to speak in between but a hand snaked around my waist trailing up my backless dress. My eyelashes fluttered as a warm sensation rushed into my veins Armaan stared at me blankly. I think he knows what his touch does to me and hell I can't control my body reacting to his erotic moves. Shutting my mouth close I looked up at DK leaving us alone, Armaan dragged me out of the hall passing many hallways. He stopped opening a door and pushed me inside the restroom shutting it behind me. I crossed my arms together, "What do you want from me?" he pulled me towards him, "Right now I want to tear that dress of yours and fuck you bare." My cheeks swelled up which wasn't intentional.
He smiled a bit and covered it up with a stern look, "But I know you're going to love it... so I won't do that." His fingers trailed up my back making me shiver. Armaan left a deep sigh, "You have no idea how hard it is for me to stay away from you even if you appear everywhere I go." I looked away from him, "It wasn't planned by me to cross paths with you...". His fingers touched my jaw making me look at him, "Ishita... I did it all for you even if you don't believe in my words. You have no idea how much I have risked to bring you here and talk. If Veronica got any of our close recent pictures, she will bring it up in the court and ask for a divorce."
His voice dried, "I don't care about the money but it's my family's wealth they would lose it because of me. I can't be such horrible as a son bringing my parents towards bankruptcy." I stared into his eyes which reflected honesty then I asked him, "If I helped you get rid of Veronica would you sign those divorce papers for me?" he took a step back removing his hand from me. Lowering his head he mumbled, "You will get those papers by the time you would reach back India, and no need to help me I would do it myself."
Opening the door he left, I called out his name but he never looked back at me like he has decided to never look back at me. A lone tear escaped from my eyes realizing how much my life is barren without him. Tears ran down my cheeks, I felt disgusted by myself for being so selfish that I even applied a condition to help him. When he clearly needs my help because he faked the deal between DK and Yusuf. And now when Yusuf is going to sign the deal with me on the lowers stake then his plan to trap DK will just be a dream.
But in all this, I was neglecting his affection towards me for stupid reasons. His selfless love isn't just ruining me but harming him as well. I got so much tangled in my reasons that I neglected how much we both need each other's love. Armaan denied divorcing me even if he wants my help to get rid of Veronica. But he chose our love over his reasons and needs which I wasn't able to do, it took me so long to realize his love.
