"Really?" Sanjana exclaimed with wide eyes while Jaya nodded her head. Cupping her mouth Sanjana looked at Jaya "I can't believe this!" Jaya nodded with an excited face agreeing with her.

They heard the front door opening and there comes Parinidhi with pissed up face. Seeing her they both gulped and pressed their lips.

Parinidhi went straight towards her room ignoring everyone and her guard who is also Jaya's husband smirked at the ladies. As soon as Parinidhi disappeared, both Jaya and Sanjana ran to Rohit to gossip on what actually happened.

Parinidhi who went towards her room frowned feeling something odd with her hands. She looked at them then realized that her phone is missing. Sighing tiredly She went to the hall to order Rohit to bring her phone which she might have forgotten in the car.

As soon as she stepped in the hall, the scene made her blood boil. The three are sitting on the dining table while Rohit is explained them, that how the great Parinidhi Gupta became speechless infront of someone for the first time, which felt like pouring ghee in her fire.

She looked at the flower vase beside her on the table and pushed it, which fell down on the floor with a 'thud' and broken into pieces. Hearing it they flinched and stood up wide eyed.

Rohit who was laughing a while ago went into serious mode and stood in alert like a guard. While Sanjana and Jaya trying their best to stop their laughter. It's their common thing, them gossiping about the drama in Parinidhi's life.

Because it's Parinidhi. Her life has more drama than the indian serials.

Rohit and Jaya were more like friends to them than servants as they were with Parinidhi from the start of her career. They saw all the ups and down of her and how she became so successful.

" Why don't you start making a video from now on. It will be easy for you to explain and for them to understand" Parinidhi taunted.

"I'll definitely consider your idea from next time mam" Rohit said with a blank face making Parinidhi grit her teeth and both the girls laugh.

"You are fired" She announced breathing heavily with anger and about to turn when she heard the three mumble "384" She closed her eyes in frustration. "What?" She asked making Sanjana giggle.

"It's 384th time you are firing him from all these years"

Parinidhi groaned loudly and said "Find my phone in 2 minutes. If not You are seriously going to get fired" Parinidhi said and heard " Yes mam."

She closed the door of her room not before hearing them laughing. She is really frustrated with this. When she remembered the way she reacted, it made her even more frustrated.

How come she became speechless just by staring at his damn grey eyes?

This is not like Parinidhi. Not at all. And this bugging her mind making her want to scream.

She went to the washroom and stood under the shower to relax her mind. She closed her eyes just to see the same grey eyes staring at her.

She groaned again splashing the water on her face. How come someone have the power to mess with her mind without even uttering a word just by a mere stare.

Damn.

She looked at herself in the mirror more like glared, for behaving like a teenager who is crushing over a guy infront of him. She should have knocked some sense in him for holding her without her permission. Or maybe would have kicked him hard where the sun doesn't rise but not stare at him with an open mouth.

She scoffed and took a bath. Wearing a fresh pair of shorts and tank top she opened the door to see Rohit standing breathing heavily.

She raised her eyebrow in questioning manner. "I think you dropped the phone somewhere mam" He spoke making Parinidhi frown.

"But where and when?" She tried to remember but interrupted by her sister "Maybe when you were drooling over that man"

Parinidhi snapped her head at her with a hard glare. If looks can kill, she would have been deep buried deep in the ground by now.

" I. Was. Not. Drooling"

Her voice raised. Rohit coughed to cover his laugh. But Sanjana didn't, she laughed on her face making Parinidhi clench her fist.

Why does sisters have to be so annoying all the time?

"Trust me, if I see him again. I'll show who the actual Parinidhi Gupta is" She challenged making Sanjana show her thumbs up.

"I'll be waiting"

Next morning -

Parinidhi dolled up to spend the day with herself alone. As she conpleted all the work for her father's arrival, she has no mood to go to office so she just decided to Pamper herself today.

She first went to a good cafe to have her breakfast. Taking a window seat she had her pancakes with Nutella while enjoying the view of the garden.

After that, she went to a mall to look for some dresses. She is not a fan of shopping more like offline shopping she is comfortable with online ones as she can do that laying on her bed.

Purchasing a few dresses, she decided to go for a spa. Spending hours on massage and spa, she walked out of the store brightening her beauty. While walking through the stores her sole focus was on her reflection where she is looking so angelic.

Flicking her hair back, she smirked at her reflection and started walking towards the entrance. She has to find a nice restaurant to have her lunch as she is so damn hungry.

Driving through the busy roads of mumbai, she finally found a nice restaurant which serve good italian food which she has been craving and got down. She entered the restaurant. Her heels clicking on the floor. She smirked when she saw everyone looking at her.

Of course her mere presence draws attention no matter the place she is in. She doesn't have to do anything.

As she was about to take a seat, her eyes landed on the Pratik Singh Rathore. Who is discussing something with his brother Abhay. But what made her stop in her tracks is the Gray eyes.

The gray orbs which are directly staring into her soul.

The gray eyes which she couldn't forget not even in her sleep.

Looking at him, the other two brothers turned their heads towards the direction only to see Parinidhi gupta.

Abhay stood up making Parinidhi snap into reality.

'Ignore him' she heard her inner voice.

Parinidhi took slow steps towards them with a blank face completely ignoring the guy staring at her intently She remembered the challenge which she has done to Sanjana.

"Trust me, if I see him again. I'll show who the actual Parinidhi Gupta is"

She is not going to go speechless again and not because of his grey eyes.

But how wrong she was.

" Hello Mr. Rathore" Parinidhi shook her hand with Abhay who gave her a charming Smile in return. "Hello Ms. Gupta. Nice meeting you again"

Before she can speak anything Rudransh mumbled something which not only made her speechless but also bruised her ego way too much than expected.

" Who is She? "
