Hello!

"Fine, I'll call the cops. " I told him with determination but he responded with a chuckle.

"Sure, go ahead. But have you thought what will happen next? " He asked his eyebrows.

"Let me tell you. The cops will come and I'll leave, no harm done to me but now let me tell you what will happen to you. " He said the last part with a cruel expression.

"You will lose your job and as you know what I'm capable of, you won't get any other job. What next Miss. Murthy? Well, you'll lose this house of yours as well and isn't your sister suffering from a serious problem? What will happen to her treatment Miss. Murthy? She will di—" "Mr. Malhotra. " I didn't let him complete his sentence and a smirk formed on his lips.

"Scared of even listening? How will you face all this Miss. Murthy? " He asked crossing his arms with arrogance and I felt my heart getting heavy.

I hate you Mr. Malhotra.

"Fine, stay here, I'll leave. " I told him and he looked at me with amusement.

"Really? And where will you go? Hotel? But Miss. Murthy it's really unfortunate that all the hotels in the city are full. You won't get any room. I hope you don't mind living in the footpath, cause that's the only place you'll get to spend the night in this city. " He said with a fake apologetic look.

I just looked at him accusingly and he smirked again.

"Why are you doing this? " I asked him getting tired of all this.

He slightly narrowed his eyes before taking one more step towards me, coming really close. I didn't step back because I didn't wanted to get out of the house.

"Because..." He leaned towards my ear and I closed my eyes, gulping.

"I want to be with you. " He whispered and I opened my eyes in disbelief.

I looked at him in shock and he leaned back before locking his eyes with mine.

I thought he looked genuine or may be I want to believe he is, but whatever it is, I need to clarify.

" Why? " I asked again and he kept his hands inside his pocket.

"Why me? " I clarified and I saw his eyes softening a bit.

"Go get changed. I know you must be really tired and don't worry about the food, I have ordered it. You can show me your cooking skills some other day. " He said casually taking a step back and I knew there was no point in arguing anymore, so I just saved my left over energy and headed to my room.

"Also Miss. Murthy. " His words made me halt before I could enter my room.

I turned to look at him to find him looking at me with a mischievous smile.

"I love desserts but since I haven't ordered any you will have to take the responsibility of my dessert. And I just hope you won't disappoint me. " I frowned at his words before dashing inside my room and closing the door behind.

After taking a long relaxing shower, I changed into my comfortable clothes, which are my loose Pokemon T-shirt and pajama pants. I usually go for shorts but since I have an unwanted guest here, I don't feel too comfortable in wearing it in front of him, especially after the dessert statement.

After combing my hair and making a messy bun, I walked out of the room to find him sitting on the couch and still watching TV. I had never thought something like this will happen.

The Monster Businessman will sit in my living room and watch TV, sitting on my couch, as leisurely as one can.

"Like what you see, Miss. Murthy? " His words broke my trance and I walked towards him.

"I had never thought I'll say this to any guy, but here you go Mr. Malhotra, no. " I answered with a fake smile and he smirked.

"But I'm really liking what I'm seeing. " He replied looking at me causing me to glare at him.

He just chuckled at me before shifting his attention back to the television.

I frowned looking at the screen, he was watching football!

Taking the remote in my hand, I changed the channel to cricket.

"Miss. Murthy why did you change the channel? " He asked standing up and I sat on the couch.

"Because IPL. " I told him and he frowned.

"Indian Premiere League. " I stated the full form and he rolled his eyes.

"Of course I know but who watches that? " He asked causing my eyes to widen.

"Huh? Who watches IPL? The whole country Mr. Malhotra. " I told him and he chuckled sarcastically.

"Really? Nice misconception, now change the channel to football. " He ordered causing me to narrow my eyes.

"No we are watching IPL. " I told him keeping my hands on my hips.

"We are watching football. " He said narrowing his eyes.

"IPL. "

"Football. "

"IPL."

"Football."

"IPL"

"FOOTBALL. "

"IPL. "

"FOOTBALL."

"IPL. "

Ting tong.

We looked towards the door as we heard the doorbell and I decided to go to open the door but he stopped me.

"I'll see, you sit here." He instructed before getting to the door and opening it.

It was his driver, with his bag, which Mr. Malhotra took from him.

The driver looked at me and Mr. Malhotra shifted and stood between his the driver and me, blocking his view.

"Leave. " He instructed and I driver left immediately.

Closing the door, he walked towards me and stood in front of me.

"I'm going to change, don't open the door even if the food delivery guy comes. " He instructed causing me to frown.

"But Mr. —" "Never use this word while talking to me. Just do as I say, you'll be happy." He warned with a fake smile before heading towards my room.

"You can use Nalini's room. " I told him before he could enter my room and he turned to look at me.

"I can't, the door is just not opening. " He said causing me to frown.

"Really? Let me check. " I said before walking towards Nalini's room and trying to open the door but he was right. It was jammed.

"I'll call the carpenter tomorrow, he'll look after it. " I told Mr. Malhotra and he nodded before walking inside my room.

Sitting on the couch, I began watching my IPL when suddenly the electricity went off causing me to groan.

Why do they have to cut off the electricity even before the rain begins?

Sighing, I went to the balcony and sat on the floor, leaning on the railing.

A storm was about to come, since the wind was blowing really hard. People were rushing to their respective homes and suddenly I heard a yelp from inside.

Frowning, I got up walked inside to find Mr. Malhotra standing with the support of the wall.

"What happened? " I asked him and he looked at me.

"Hit my foot on this table, due to darkness. " He told me and I took out candles from the drawer and lightened them.

"Here. " I handed him one candle and he slowly came outside, in the balcony with me.

"Also, the food delivery got cancelled due to this storm. " He informed me as I made him sit on the floor.

"Still want to stay here? " I asked him raising my eyebrows and he looked at me.

"You stay here all the time, despite of everything, then why can't I? " He asked softly and something about his words was really heart warming.

"Maggie? " I asked and he thought for a while before nodding causing me to smile.
