Thanks for all the votes, comments and for all the new readers for adding my book and reading them.
Those who haven't read my 1st book on Ronit and Ridhima then please check, it's completed.

Karan kept the receiver back and smiled, it took four long days for Ridhima to agree with his plan which he explained her last time when they met in Media waves office.
He was glad that Ridhima agreed to help but in two conditions that Rinky should not be defamed any ways and secondly he will not force Rinky to help him in this plan. All in all if Rinky agree then Ridhima will agree.

Karan agreed; he will never let any thing happened to Rinky and her reputation . And he was sure the love which he had seen in her eyes will be on her lips soon, he was damn sure this plan will bring Rinky closer and Dev away from Leena.
However he need to talk to Rinky about this, he need to provoke her, then only she will say yes for this plan, he took a deep breath and walk towards the board room.
Day after tomorrow, delegates from Europe are coming for 4 days. Preparations were done but he need to check everything so he called the meeting. Meeting is between board members and senior employee of his Mumbai Royale Diwaan, so Rinky won't be there but his mind always think about her.

After checking with room service staffs, Rinky sat for lunch, she was about to take a bite of her food when her mobile rang.
"Come to my cabin, now" Karan said and hangs up.
Rinky shook her head and wrapped her lunch and kept it back in her bag,
" where are you going? " Bella her team mates asked.
"Karan sir called, he need to discuss something" she replied.
"He rarely call us in his office, he never discuss anything with us"  Kritika who was one of the trainee said. Her each word were like venom, Rinky realized that Kritika is jealous of her, she rarely give damn to what other things about her but here in work place  it's matters.
"Ohh, c'mon we all know that she is the one would get job in this hotel, she is family,  you know" Pawan said shrugging.
She nodded and excused herself without a word. She knew they are right because Karan is giving her more importance than other trainees. And today she need to talk to him. She angrily walk towards his cabin.
*****
Day and night, Rinky's face rotate in his mind, Karan was not able to keep himself away from her thought, so after finishing his meeting, he went back to his cabin and called Rinky to meet.

Rinky knocked at his door and walked inside,  " why did you called me Karan?" Rinky angrily said but in return he smiled and met her gaze "I need to discuss something important with you"  he scooted back his chair and walk towards her in slow strides.
"I'm going to Jaipur, then have a conference in Kolkata after that I've to check with Delhi team, top Bollywood actress is getting married in our Delhi hotel next month"  he said closing the distance between them in one long stride.

"Come let's have lunch before anything " Karan said.
No, I 'm going back to my team and will have lunch with them" she turned to go but Karan grabbed her wrist and pulled her against his chest. His touch always provoke something inside her but today his touch made her want and feel which she never felt before.
"What's wrong Rinky, why are you behaving like this?" Karan asked, his breath fanning her neck, she felt the warmth travelled down her toes, her own behavior shocked her; she pushed him away.
"what's wrong Rinky, you promised that now we are friends, then why are you angry with me" he said trying to pull her closer but she shook her head and angrily looked at him.

"you too promised to treat me as a trainee in office but you behaviour....my team mates don't like me...and" She turned without completing her sentence.

"I don't care what they think if they said single word about you then they are not getting job in this hotel" he angrily.

His statement bewildered her, she turned and looked at him," Karan we are friends now but your behaviour made me ponder about my decision to be friends with you " she said her eyes locked with his, he can see pain and anger in her beautiful eyes.

He stepped closer and immediately Rinky stepped back, she doesn't want him to touch her, his touch burns her and she doesn't like these kind of feeling.

"ok, cease, from today onwards I 'll never call you in my office, until unless it's urgent" he smiled and continued "Let's have lunch,please" he said taking her hand in his, she felt something inside her heart which she never felt before, his charming smile does something inside her,his mere touch melt her from inside. She was not able to comprehend her own mind, one minute she was angry and now she is walking with him for lunch.

He made her sit and sat next to her, "Rinky" he cupped her cheeks in his palm "Don't be angry I promise I will treat you as trainee, don't be angry, I don't want family and friends to be angry with me,"  he said in low tone.
Rinky nodded and served the food and they start eating.
"I'm going out, as you know I work from Jaipur, head office, so before leaving I thought of having lunch with you" he smile lightly and said.
"Ohh" she said without looking towards him.
Karan took her chin between his thumb and finger and made her look up, Rinky gulped, why I am feeling this today she thought.
"Are you still angry"  he asked.
"N...No naaa" she shuttered.
"Again," he arched his brow.
"I thought we are comfortable with each other and here you are shuttering again" he smiled "Rinky Khanna is scared of Karan Oberoi"  he teased but Rinky didn't replied she just removed his finger from her chin and started having food.
" you didn't told me what you spoke to Leena,  have you told her about Dev" she asked.
Karan, kept back his plate "Leena is not ready to hear anything about Dev" he paused and look back at Rinky.
" He had turned her into addict , a wanton, her room was filled with just two things, one drinks and... " He pause and looked away from her.
"And second..." Rinky asked.
"She is my sister, she had turned into Poonam ," Karan stood up, his lunch long forgotten, " It will be difficult to bring my Leena back from them, I had plan and for that I need your help " he said.
"Sure, tell me"
Not today I will tell you later coz I have to check with Ronit first " he said.
"Come and finish your lunch"
Karan nodded "I'm done" he said and walk back to his desk.
Rinky took a deep breath; took his plate and walk to him, "Please" she pleaded pushing the plate towards him.
Karan took the plate and smiled at her, "Bring your plate, too" he said.

LONDON
"Believe me mom, he is in love with that middle class girl" Leela laughed.
"Stop laughing" Poonam angrily looked at her daughter, she doesn't believe her ears that Karan,the player is in love. This is not right, she doesn't want her plan to fail.
"What mom? this is good news" Leela cheekily smiled.
"If she fall in love with him , have you thought about the consequences " Poonam said in irritation.
"Ohh my dear mom-in-law" Dev hugs Poonam from behind, "believe me she will not fall for him so soon, not in 10 days and Karan, we all know he handle his work from Jaipur, they will not get time to spend with each other so.....chill"  Dev walk to Leela and sat beside her, his hand roaming up and down her thighs.
Poonam smirked, her daughter, naa her both daughters are just like her, seductress. She laughed loudly causing Leela and Dev to look at her.
"Karan charm can melt anyone, if he want her then he will have her" Poonam said.
"Rinky is bold girl can't be seduced so easily" Dev said.
"And Karan bhai don't know how to show love" Leela laughed.
In Leena room,
"Dad don't worry naa, I told you bhai will come for my wedding and he agreed"  Leena said admiring her wedding trousseau.
"Look Leena, I know you love Dev, you can marry him after year or two. Complete your studies and join your brother busines first"  Kabir Oberoi said. He was wrong whole life but he can't let his daughter take any wrong  decision. He like Dev but at her age infatuation happens but marriage is a big step and he don't want his daughter to regret later.
"Karan agreed"  he asked confused.
"He was reluctant but he loves his sister" she cheekily smiled.
Kabir Oberoi had wasted his life and same thing his son was doing, keeping mistress, always seen with models , how will he understand that his sister is taking wrong decision. He thought looking at his daughter, he walk out of her room, his eyed landed to three figures one his wife who was sitting on high chair, other his daughter Leela who was sitting beside Dev whose hand was roaming up and down , he took a deep breath and walk down the stairs,  clearing his throat in the gesture of showing his presence. I need to find about Leela and Dev he thought and walk to them.
Mumbai

She could not  lo....; never she shook her head what wrong with her, why this feeling, why she didn't want him to go back to Jaipur,  why??
