I needed to find a way to get closer to Nadia. Acting with Veer is taking her far away from me. I went to Mr Baldev’s office. As usual, he was stuck in front of a pile of documents. After the exchange of pleasantries, we both sat down to chat.“So what brought you to my office, Sidd,” he asked.“I want to ask you a favor,” I said. He sat up and adjusted his tie.“What is it, Sidd?”“Can you arrange a resort for the actors to go for a one-week vacation to the Whispering Palms Beach Resort?” I requested.“What do you mean, Sidd?” he asked.“I want you to announce to the present casting members to go on a group vacation to the Whispering Palms Beach Resort,” I clarified.“Why if I may ask?”“Bill on me, director. Just do it. Besides, it has been a long we all went out together, don’t you think so? All work and no play make actors dull and bored,” I said and he smiled.“If that’s what you want, no problem.

He was unusually puttingon a baseball cap.“Hi,” I responded,avoiding his eyes. He just looked charming tonight as the light from the fieryyellow bulbs illuminated his fair, glowing skin. His abs were visibleunder the tight shirt that seemed to be ripping off with stunning muscles.“Shall we?” he uttered after a minute of silence and I nodded. He took hold ofmy hand and we headed out. Every time he holds me, I feel my childish parttaking over. He makes me feel like a baby once again. I glanced over at him…for the umpteenth time now in one walk. “Anything wrong?” he asked I averted myeyes to look ahead.“I’m sorry,” I apologizedlowly and he squeezed my hand, making me look at him.“You can stare all youwant, Nadia.

He teased me with a wink. “I want her to walk with me till I decide wereturn,” Sidd said.“No,” Ria snapped,hitting her hand on the table. “No one is stepping away from here. The game issupposed to take place here and end here. Do you understand, Sidd?”“Calm down, Ria. The gamedidn’t lay out any restrictions. As far as I am concerned,

Nomatter our differences, I apologize when I’m wrong.“It seems what you sawearlier has made you blind, isn’t it?” she sneered.“What did I see thatcould be so taunting?” I asked. She narrowed her eyes to mine. “I know youwere behind that note just to make me feel jealous. But what’s your gain inthat when Sidd is just all over me, chasing me like ants to sugar?

Sidd’s POVSeeing Nadia leave with that dickhead made me crazy. I trampled to Mr Baldev’s room.Bang!I hit my fist against the door.

What does he mean by he lovesme?*****I still couldn’t get overwhat Veer told me earlier. Does he love me mean he is in love with me? When didthat start?
