Behind Ana came something that intimidated Shivaay. Anika suppressed her laugh seeing her boss's facial expressions while Ana introduced her pet cat, "He is Oreo but ironically hates the sight of Oreo biscuits in his milk!"

"He is Billu but hates the sight of billus near him!" Anika muttered under her breath.
"Hi Billu-ji!" Anika greeted Oreo, the cat just to irritate her boss. As she stretched hands, Oreo came in her arms irritating Shivaay even more.
"This is a surprise! Oreo never goes to strangers but he seems to like you." Ana smiled sighting her cat cuddling in Anika's arms.

The woman left as she had to attend other customers while Anika didn't leave a chance to call the cat 'Billu-ji'. She loved every single moment that made her boss more irritated.
"Okay stop it! Don't you call Oreo like that. He has a name for your kind information." he said trying to sound sarcastic at the end.
"Of course I know but you know what sir, Oreo loves me calling him 'Billu-ji', right billuji?!" She asked eyeing the cat and her boss simultaneously but soon received a stare from her boss.

"Okay sir, I will call him Oreo!" She told obediently and spoke further to Oreo, "I'm happy that at least you love me calling you 'Billu-ji', unlike my boyfriend. Oh sorry ex-boyfriend!"
The cat instantly looked at Shivaay and stared at him for sometime. Anika secretly thanked Oreo for turning to Shivaay at the right moment.

Soon they had to leave the place and Shivaay for sure regretted the decision of stopping for lunch though he liked everything except for the word 'billuji' used for a cat.

Reaching Pune, they immediately started off the meeting with Shivaay's Australian clients. Anika was as usual bored when suddenly she got a call letting everyone grab her attention.
"Sorry!" She said feeling awkward and left outside to speak. Exactly after five minutes, she came back really excited about something.

She stood close to her boss and whispered in his ears, "Sir, I'm going out with.... That's not needed!" She said to herself and continued "Sir, if you don't mind you finish off the meeting and go back to the hotel. I will be late."
"Fhat the wuck! I need you!" Shivaay said back flabbergasted.

"What?" She asked back hearing the phrase 'I need you' when he further said, "I need you in my meeting. You are my P.A!"
"Sorry sir, but the meeting is almost to end. Anyway the clients won't mind me leaving." Anika said casually.
"No you are not allowed to go!" He ordered when they heard one of their clients "Mr.Oberoi is everything fine?!"

"Nothing to worry Mr.Paul! Just that I would have to leave now if you all don't mind?" Anika asked knowing their answer.
"No problem Ms.Mehra" Catherine, one of their clients said letting Anika smile widely.

"Yes my plan worked!" She thought happily. Soon she bid a bye and left from there leaving an irritated Shivaay. Quickly he finished his meeting as well and walked out to see Anika completely dressed up. She was wearing a beautiful knee-length outfit which let Shivaay's heart skip a beat.

"This dress!" Shivaay thought

Westside, Phoenix shopping mall.

"Anu, I love this dress!" Shivaay exclaimed while Anika looking at it and said, "Of course your choice is amazing darling but you know I'm not fond of yellow!"
"Leave this then! Let's choose something else!" He said trying to sound casual. He badly wanted her to buy it but at the same time he didn't want to force his choice on her.

On their way back, silence was overflowing between them when suddenly Anika spoke "Shiv, look at this dress and tell how this would suit me!"
"Anu I'm driving. Anyways we both selected your dresses together right?" He asked not looking at her.
"Shiv please?!" She called out to him in the sweetest tone ever.
"Okay fine!" saying he looked at her only to stop the car abruptly.

"How did you like this dress?!" She asked showing the same dress Shivaay selected for her in the shop.
"Anu!" Shivaay exclaimed happily. In seconds he asked her "You don't like this color much, then why did you buy?" Shivaay asked when she answered, winking at him, "Not for you of course! My boyfriend loved this dress, that's why."

Just then, a guy came to Anika and hugged her irritating Shivaay. He was even more irritated as he couldn't see the guy clearly from the place he watched them.

"What the hell!" Shivaay almost yelled hitting his palm on the table nearby.
"Is he the guy she was talking about in Lonavala?!" He thought. As he saw them leaving from there, he decided to follow them, he was too curious to stop himself.

"Plan worked! He is following us." Anika messaged.
"Hope he doesn't find me!" A message popped back.
"Mein hoon na. And anyway you are wearing a hoodie that half covers your face!😂" She messaged back.
"WhatsApp is really a tech God. We are right next to each other but we use this just in case we don't sound out loud while speaking!" Another message popped up when she rolled her eyes, messaging back "Oh boy, don't try marketing for WhatsApp. They are not going to pay you! Let's concentrate now."

Shivaay was trying his best to walk behind them but at the same time tried to not let himself seen to them.

"Where are we going darling?!" Anika asked out loudly on purpose when the guy said out even louder, "Wherever you want baby! Your wish is my command."

"Baby?!" Shivaay muttered to himself letting out a weirdest expression he could ever make.
"This voice sounds familiar!" He thought to himself but was not able to figure out whose voice it was.
