"Game is still on naa Nishi" he asked turning around to face her.

"You will lose this time Aljun," she took his rolled puri and ran towards the car.

"No Nishi that's impossible," he ran and lifted her up and spun her around, "give my puri back" he said and they both burst into laughter.

"I missed us so much" he said between his breathes.

"Me too Aljun," she laughed, "put me down now" she said.
"Say Arjun not Aljun then I will put you down," he stubbornly said.
"You are my Aljun please put me down" she said  with childlike simplicity.
Arjun chuckled and slowly put her down on the floor.she pushed the puri roll close to his mouth "eat" she smiled cheekily. He took a bite and smiled at her.

They stared at each other for seconds before she looked away , "Hotel, I .. Mean we are getting late" she smiled. Arjun took her hand in his and they walk towards his parking.

Nishi entered the hotel reception with Arjun beside her, "Mr. Khadoosh" (Mr. Stubborn) someone murmured from behind. Nishi turned , every staff was looking at them.

"Mr. Kadoosh with our new GM" someone murmured again.

Nishi smiled at them, "yes I am your new Gm and nice to meet you all."

"Good morning mam welcome to Nav hotel Pune" they all responded in chorus.

"Thanks" she said and smiled at Arjun who just nodded. She turned on her heel but again someone murmured "Mr. Khadoos don't even smile at our Gm."

Arjun pulled her hand and took her inside his cabin "that's nick name for me" he said while shutting the door.

"Why?" she asked in shock.

"Because I never smile at any one" he replied folding his hand across his chest.

"Our hotel staff are right you are khadoosh Mr. Arjun Singh change your attitude otherwise" she smirks.

"Otherwise what Nishi?" he asked, arching his brow.

She went close to him and started tickling. He pulled her by her wrist "I told you in the morning that I am no more ticklish" he whispered in her ear, his warm breath tickle her neck, Arjun notices her shiver then he smiled"I know you are  still ticklish" he teased.

Nishi pushed him away before he turns into devil who will not show any mercy when he start tickling her.

"We are here for work not for time pass" she said turning towards his desk. 

"Arjun call for meeting, head of every department in board room by 11:30" Nishi said and sat on his desk.

"Sit on the chair Nishi" Arjun gestures her towards his leather chair.

"Why? It's your seat, your office," she asked her tone was serious.

"You are owner and I am just manager of this hotel" Arjun said facing her.

She pulled him towards her with the collar "I spoke to dad this morning" she paused and looked at him furiously "he said that this hotel is yours, he gifted this hotel to Nishika on her first birthday." She added.

Arjun try to move back her nearness is driving him crazy "she think that she is still same old baby Nishi then she is wrong" he thought but Nishi never let him move, he gulped "Navneet paa is a great man ,he Is just trying to help his best friend's family" Arjun said and looked down on the floor.

Nishi tilted his chin up with her finger "he is not helping his friends family he is supporting his family our family Arjun, we are family never say it again that dad is helping his friend's family" she stroked his cheeks. 

Arjun moved back her soft touch drives him, he want to kiss her and take her in his arms and never let her go, he made mistake once but, he shook his head and Without saying another word he walk to his chair Nishi turned and faced him still sitting on his desk.

"Are you planning for piggi ride princess?" he laughed

"I don't mind" she held her hand and smiled cheekily at him.

He  nodded and dialed his PA "Parul inform head of the every department to meet in board room at 11:30 sharp and send coffee one mine and other with lots of cream" he said and looked at Nishi who nodded.

"He still remembers her coffee choice" she thought and smiled.

"Sure sir" Parul replied.

Arjun Nishi hopped down from desk "I want you to conduct this meeting as the owner of this hotel" she suggested.

"Nishi?" Arjun looked at her with shock.

"Yes, you have more experience than me" she said.

"Nishi you are GM, you have all rights"

"And you are the owner you have 100 percent rights" she folded her arm, a gesture to show I am not up for discussion.

"Good morning everyone" Arjun smiles and gestures them to take their respective seats.

They all looked at him with shock.

"Good morning everyone" Nishi smirks, she know every staff is looking at Mr. Khadoosh cause he is smiling.

"Good morning Arjun sir and Nishi mam" they all are still staring at Arjun who has smile on his face.

"Don't be shock your Kadoosh boss can smile" Nishi said "Please have your seat, so we can start our urgent meeting" She said in authoritative tone.

"Nishi" Arjun gestures her to take head seat but Nishi crossed her hand "sit Arjun" she said.

After 1 hour of discussion they concluded the meeting.

"I need you all to make a list of  how many staff you need more in your department, what tools are missing in housekeeping and we will see the compensation thing and theft thing" Arjun ordered.

"We understand there are many things which hotel needs from authority so leave that to us but don't create or let anyone create problem inside hotel. This hotel is like family so please support us and make this hotel happy place for guest and staffs." Nishi added.

"That's all, I need a list by tomorrow evening is that clear" Arjun ordered but there was a slight smile on his lips.

"Yes Sir" everyone responded in chorus.

"Sir for the first time in three years we saw you smiling" they said to Arjun.

"Sir you look amazing when you smile" a lady from staff added.

Arjun looked at them in shock in one day Nishi has changed my home and now my office he thought. Nishi looked up at Arjun with smile.

"But"...she paused "Smile or no smile he is still Mr. Khadoosh" Nishi said and they all laughed.
