All Chapters of Being His: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

 "What did she say?" "Have to go on another date with Dhruv and then I am eligible to ask for the month's salary." I say to Lai.  "That's good. Don't wait for it. Ask Dhruv whether he is interested to go on a second date." Lai says in excitement. "Eleanor told the day of my last date that I was supposed to go on a date this Sunday with him."  "Oh. That's the end of this week. " Lai's face drops.  "I will bargain for another day from Udipi. But the money is important. I need to go on this date." I say.  "Okay. But today is already Thursday. Shouldn't you be informed about when and where your next date will be?"  "Not really. Eleanor sometimes informs me about my date quite late. Like the day before the date. But it didn't cause any problem." I reply to Lai's question.  Lai loo

 Dhruv's POV "What happened to the sales this month?" I ask sternly, looking at Samuel who is trying to avoid my gaze.  Well, he should. He laid eyes on what's mine. I have to give him a taste of what happens when you mess with Dhruv Saxena.  "I didn't prepare the report. You said that you wanted the report ne-" I raise my hands to interrupt. His vicious face is increasing my temper.  "I don't have a room for your excuses Mr. Rodrick! It is either done or it is not." I look straight at him. "It's not done." He says in a low voice. I smirk internally. Good. "Well then in that case, I don't think you need to be a part of this project anymore." I see him look up at me with shock evident in his face.  "But-" he turns around at the other members who do not say a word. They surely would not.

 "Do you think that the cab driver heard us?" Lai whispers I'm my ear. "I'm not sure. But I did notice him looking at us when you said about Saxena's." I shrug.  We walk up the stairs towards the entrance of the mall. Unlike any other day, it is full with people here and there. Since it's the weekend. We walk past the security check and enter the air conditioned first floor.  "I just love the smell of all those costly products and makeup and stuff." Lai inhales deeply. I scoff in return. Why does everyone have to terrorize with the idea of makeup. Well, as a matter of fact, Lai here is just the opposite of me. She loves makeup!  "Let's take an escalator." I run forward, putting Lai in shock. "Hey! Wait for me!" She runs me.  I giggle and run towards the escalator. I love escalators. Wh

 "No, it's too tight." I say and the girl doing my blouse knots eases it up a bit allowing me to breathe.  "Thank you."  She nods her head and leaves me in front of the mirror. I didn't know that Eleanor had prepared an entire team to help me wear the saree. She thinks it's a difficult attire to wear as it's traditional. The great Eleanor got scared of a simple saree. The thought only makes me laugh my heart out. I stand in front of a long mirror and stare at my reflection. The team has done a good job on the saree as well as fixing my face. This time, I told Eleanor that it needs to look natural. She suggested that I go with a no-makeup makeup look. Seriously? I don't know these bullshit things exist. Makeup is makeup. If you apply it on your face,it will show anyway. How stupid is that? The whole equation can be solved by just not applying any makeup at all. 

 "Tell more about yourself,Meera." Mrs. Saxena inquired. Shit! I didn't think of any story I should tell about myself. What should I say? That I am a sugar baby working for your son who will be paying my bills and my stepmother is trying to sell off my sister?  "Umm...I-I'm an Indian born and brought up in Kolkata." I say and press my lips. Will this do?  "Oh, that's nice. I have one of my friends living there. How many family members do you have in your home?"  "Two. My mom and my sister." I say, suppressing the urge to run and hide behind the curtains. "What about your father? Does he live somewhere else?" Harsh asks. I clench my jaw tightly.  Don't!  "No." I say, my voice as audible as a whisper.  "Then?" Harsh frowns. I sigh. He i
