What's going on here? Oh! Arham is that you brother. Looks like you already met Iliyana."
Arman was looking at us strangely, but I couldn't miss the softness in his voice when he mentioned my name. That made me happy. And forget about this jerk.
Wait! What brother? Arham? As in Arman's brother? Fuck!! What the hell!!
And it was then I noticed how close I was standing to Arham, our chests were almost touching. I had backed him to the wall. In my anger I didn't notice how close I got to him.His minty breath was fanning my face, and creating some strange sensations. I quickly put some needed distance between us.
"Brothers? Wow!! Anyways Arman is the meeting ready?"
"Yes. Common now. Let's get it done with it.! Oh Arham dad asked you to be in the meeting. And no he will not take no for an answer."
We that said we all went to the conference room. I was trying hard to control my erratic beating heart. And get my mind straight. My legs were still shaking with the encounter I had.
As soon as we entered. I saw everyone were already seated. Grandparents, parents and two uncles. Armaan and Arham took their seats. Armaan was sitting in the seat alloted next to mine and Arham was at the end of the table. I was thankful for the arrangements. I sat in the chair and greedily drank the whole water in the bottle at a single go.
All stared at me with curious expression. But Arham's had something else a little satisfaction and some other emotion which I couldn't name. Arman's gaze was soft and encouraging. He gave me more time by starting the meeting.
"As you all know, we approached Sheikh's with our Agra property. To build a five star hotel. But Miss. Sheikh doesn't want to work with it. She says she has a different and better plan with our another property which she wants to discuss. She highly believes this will be the better plan."
Well here goes nothing....
