I reached home and saw
Hema pacing back and forth in the living room. She stopped and turned those pissedeyes on me. She strode to me and grabbed my wrist, pulling be back to thecenter of the living room.“Is anything the matter?”I queried nonchalantly as she freed my hand. Mr Baldev must have called her.“What did you tell MrBaldev?” she demanded. I haven’t seen her in such a pissed mood before. Hereyelashes twitched as she spoke.I dump my bag on thecouch. “I can’t, Hema,” I declared, shaking my head.“What can’t you?” sheyelled. “How can you reject a role because of Sidd?” she asked, calming hervoice. She moved closer to me, staring right into my eyes. “You have to,Nadia.”“I can’t, I just can’t,”I adamantly let out, moving away from her. “It’s not just about filmingtogether. There’s going to be hugging and kissing. I don’t want to get close toSidd in that way. It’s going to sprout old feelings aRelated chapters

Veer’s POVThe call I received fromHema this morning lifted my spirit to seventh heaven. I can’t believe Nadiarejected Sidd’s proposal and accepted mine. I am more than ready to face Siddtoday.

She was fidgeting, looking around likeshe was waiting for someone. She looks even more cute when agitated. She wasputting on a black fishnet, revealing her black bra and a knee-length blackskirt.

Nadia’s POVI returned to the studiothe following day. We have some preparations to do before the main shooting. Iwas studying the script with Veer.
