Chapter 02

 Chapter 2

 Sana's POV

He must've become clueless about my unexpected statement. He loosens his grip as I turn to him. He looks at me being surprised and I laugh out looking at his anxious face. He sighs.

"Jesus! You're never gonna stop pranking on me," he says wrapping his arms around me. I stop laughing and look deep into his brown eyes. 

Our lips meet. He grabs my waist more tightly to pull me up. I struggle to kiss him back as he doesn't let me respond and chews my lips harder. Clutching his both arms tightly, I hiss into his mouth.

I knew he would definitely do it. I wanted him to do. I wanted him to kiss me intensely like he never did before. He has become a drug to me which I ought to consume every day.

My chain of thoughts breaks as he releases me. We both breathe heavily after a deep smooch. I come close to him again to hug him but he pulls me away and walks near the window and takes out his phone.

I just look at him without blinking my eyes. Does he really feel the same when we kiss? Or is this only me who wants to live this moment with all my heart and soul? I find a strange ache at the left side of my chest. 

I know we don't share a serious relationship and he doesn't even love me. Still, I keep hoping for something good from him. But do I love him? I don't know. I just want him to feel the same for me that I feel for him. And I really don't consider it love.

"We need to leave for office Sano," he says focusing on his phone. "I'm not gonna let that Alex destroy my dream project. He almost ruined 50% of it," he shrugs.

Last night was terrible for him. We got a notice to repay all the primary investments done by fellow clients within just 10 days. Because our business rival Alex showed them some fake clips of Sid. It was a shock for Sid as he literally thought this project would finally help him to be the most influential person in this city.

"I've got Tina's text. She has arrived and completed submitting all the documents I ask for," I say.

"Good," he says, reactionless.

"I don't think you have much work to do today. I mean I'll try to cover up your pending work. You should visit your mom," I offer.

He raises his eyebrows as he looks at me. 

"You've lost it?" he shrugs. "I'm at a loss, Sana. That bloody Alex sued my company, banned my goods. I'm in a state of throwing myself on the streets. And you're suggesting me spend my whole day for a bloody birthday? Which I don't even like to celebrate"

I nervously look down. Sid cares about two things in the world most. Money and Power. His family and I don't count among them.

"Sid, calm down," I say in a soft voice. He doesn't look at me. I guess I should drop the plan of making dinner for him. He doesn't like it when someone shows him extra care on his birthday. He acts to be normal in front of his mom. But he doesn't like it either if she celebrates his birthday. He ignores me and walks to the closet. This is the same guy who kissed me a few minutes ago. And now he doesn't even look at me. Even though I'm not acting, he definitely is. I remind myself "acting"

Green john company 

I go to my desk and start making the datasheets I was instructed to make. 

"Hey, sana," a familiar voice echoes. I look up as I see Lopa chuckling at me.

"Hey," I warmly greet her.

"I heard about the disaster that happened yesterday. I can't believe Alex can do something like this. He was always Sid's rival but he can frame Sid like this I have never imagined. Is Sid alright?" she worriedly asks.

"He is disturbed. But you know he can handle worst situations really well," I smile at her.

"Frame??," a voice mocked at us. I was not expecting this bitch. I look sideways and discover Eva. I can hardly stand her. She never misses any chance to mess with me. Lipa too throws a blank look.

"What??," Lopa shrugs. I try to avoid Eva and focus on my datasheet. Meanwhile, she reaches out to me and stands before me crossing her both arms.

"So you think Alex has framed our boss. Your beloved Sid," she smirks. 

Now she is gonna utter something rubbish and I'm gonna smash her face. This will be what may happen in the next few minutes. 

"Owner of CVC, Alex has said our Boss Mr Sid Matthews misbehaved with his wife and offered her to come for a one night stand with him. And if Alex's wife is ready, Sid will pass the biggest controversial deal to Alex. Right?? Is this what happened yesterday?" Eva passes an ugly smile. 

I still avoid her. I don't wanna lose my temper right now when I have plenty of work to do. After the disaster happened yesterday I couldn't focus on anything except for Sid. I just wanted him to feel good.

"What's your problem, Eva?," Lopa gazes at her. 

"Can't you see sana isn't interested in answering your shits?"

Eva chuckles as she glares at me. 

"I just wanna let you guys know that you both are dumb bitches. How can you guys think that Sid Matthews is the most innocent guy in the world? It's not impossible for him to offer something like this to a married woman," she says.

My blood boils. I clench my fists still trying to keep myself calm. 

"You're so ungrateful Eva. You're talking rubbish about your own boss? You think Sid Sir has given this nasty proposal to Alex's wife?," Lopa protests.

"First of all, he will be no longer our boss. He is almost doomed. Within a few hours, Alex will take over all of his property and will be our new boss. And secondly, why can't sid do this? He may be bored of her," Eva says looking at me.

"Fuck off," I say controlling my anger. 

"Oh, poor Sana. It hurts no? But don't you think you're expecting too much from a guy like sid? Girl, You're not his girlfriend. Wake up. You're not more than a cheap mistress to him," Eva continues her nonsense. And I keep listening to her to know how much she can say.

"He must be tired of you and offered another chick," Eva leans down to look at my pissed off face but I don't let her see it. I punch on her right jaw with my knuckles and she instantly falls to the ground.

Employees from the next tables panic as they witness the situation. They keep quiet and enjoy the drama that has started right now. Eva gazes at me. I see a little amount of blood at the corner of her lips.

"You bloody bitch," Eva screams. She comes to attack me as I come close to her, go on my knee and smash her face against the ground. She struggles to free herself.

"You should be glad that we are in office. Otherwise, I would've rather smashed your throat not your face," I urge in a range of anger while pressing her face against the floor with full strength.

"Sana," Lopa panics. "Leave her"

"Sana," a voice echoes like thunder. I don't let her go. I'm still in a state of annoyance that I pay no attention to it. 

"Sana. Just stop," Sid yells again from behind.

Sid's POV

I discover sana attacking Eva which I can hardly imagine. She is not unprofessional. She always behaves at work. She controls herself, her anger. But today what I see is beyond my expectations. I rush to her and grab her arm to pull her up. She remains to gaze at Eva who can hardly get up. Lopa and Azor come forward to help her. Sana doesn't meet my eyes.

"What the fuck you were doing?," I yell at her as she drives her eyes away. She is still fuming in anger. Whenever she is unable to control herself she becomes silent and swallows her anger down to her throat.

"Are you out of your mind? You were about to kill her. You literally pressed the stress points of her neck," I continued yelling at her and she remained silent. 

"How can you be so unprofessional?"

She finally looks at me with her blood boiled eyes as if she wants to say I don't understand her. 

"She has gone mad. Send her to some asylum," Eva yells back. "Bloody bitch"

I throw a strong gaze at Eva. She lowers her eyes realizing that she can't say a single word to sana at least in front of me. I raise my index finger to warn her and sign her to keep her mouth shut.

I clutch Sana's arm tightly and drag her to my cabin

Sana angrily drives me away as we enter my cabin. 

"Why the heck did you stop me?" she fumes in anger. She looks at me and makes a distance amidst us. 

"Sana, calm down," I instruct her. But I know she is in no mood to calm down. It's difficult to distract her when something hits her from the bottom.

"Why? Why should I?," She continues yelling at me. "You know what she was saying? She was uttering nonsense about you. About us"

"It's my office, Sana. There's nothing like 'us' and me," I reply in a cold tone. "There are only work and money. Within a few hours, my company is gonna shut down. I'm trying my best to stop this. Every employee here is trying his best to work it on. But you involved yourself in a stupid fight?" I lean down to her and shrug pressuring my voice. 

She freezes while looking at me. Her eyes turn red.

"Sid," she mumbles calmly. "Do you know what she was saying about us?? Our personal life"

"Oh, God Sana. Again? Again us?" I clutch my hair and walk away from her. "There's nothing personal between us," I regret as I spit the last sentence in frustration. She must be in tears. And as always I can't face her.
