It was pretty late when Shreya came to the office. After all, she had to drop Akira at her school and then drop Charan off at his office before coming. When she strolled into her office, she found Akash sitting there waiting for her.

These three months have been bliss. She had been practically living off of Charan. He fed her all sorts of food and his couch had been her bed. But she was still very happy with the way things were. And thankfully so Charan had not complained about her shamelessness yet.

"Why are you here??" Shreya asked coming over sitting on her chairs.

"One more project fell through," Akash said gravely.

"Somebody is helping them. Okay just give me a month okay?? I will wrap it up." Shreya said.

"How?? And on top of it, we have a meeting with the banker in a month. We have to show them something or else the banks going to be pissed." Akash said concerned.

"What happened to the mall project??" Shreya asked.

"Well, that one's still safe since I am the only person handling it." He said.

"You just keep on with it," Shreya said and dismissed him. She then focused her attention on the paperwork in front of her.

Dealing with S corp. had dragged more than she had first imagined. Somehow the company had successfully convinced all the suppliers and clients not to work with her company. On top of it, they have not approached any people on her company as she originally thought they would.

S corp. is practically run by thugs. So she was sure it would be easy to catch them on the act but somehow they had become smarter in just a couple of months. It was not logical. She knew someone is helping them from behind but she did not have the patience to go around and check on their backs. She would rather attack from the front line. She was doing just that but then it was going to take some time.

She could easily change the minds of her clients either by force or otherwise but then approaching all of them was time-consuming and requires a lot of work. She being the lazy person was actually planning a sneak attack. It's just going to take some time to reap the fruit. And she was a patient person. It's just her banker is going to give her hell.

By the time she was done with all her works, it was pretty late. She came over to Charan's house without even realizing where she was going or the time. Only when she parked her car that she saw that it was well past midnight. She just sat there contemplating whether to turn back to her house or to shamelessly ring the bell and wake them up. She just leaned behind on her seat and closed her eyes. She just sat there without deciding on anything.

Just then, the doors of the house opened. Charan walked out in his PJ's with his hands tucked away on his pockets. Seeing that Shreya did not step out of the car yet, he went and opened her doors quietly.

He saw Shreya resting on her seat with her headphones plugged in jarring into her ears. Charan leaned over and took out one of her headphones.

Shreya startled and looked up.

"Hey… why did you not come in??" Charan asked rubbing his hands on top of her head. She looked extremely worn out.

Shreya nuzzled into his hands happily, "I did not realize it was so late. So I was thinking of going back but I was too sleepy to drive…" she mumbled. She was brain-fried.

"Come here," Charan said and lifted her off of her seat and carried her bridal style. Charan already noticed that she had been way too tried the past few weeks and she had been coming over less. Now he knew it was because she had to stay at the office late.

He can't really do anything about her work. All he could do was take care of her when she was done. So he took her in and sat her on the couch.

"You had your dinner??" He asked her.

"No… But I don't want to eat now. It's too late. And I want to sleep." Shreya said lazily lying down on her couch.

Charan let out a sigh. He then went to the kitchen and brought her a glass of milk.

He sat on the couch in front of her and c.a.r.e.s.sed her head.

"Hey… you don't have to eat. Just drink this okay…" He said while helping her sit up.

Shreya did not really have the energy to argue so she very obediently gulped the milk in one go and slouched back.

Charan went to his bedroom and brought her pillow and a blanket. Not that he hadn't offered her to use his bed but Shreya somehow convinced him with her stubborn attitude to let her sleep on the couch. He was still to decipher how she did that actually. All he knew was when she first started staying over, he would try to convince her to sleep on the bed but then it suddenly stopped and became a natural thing for her to sleep on the couch. And somehow she always looked very comfortable on the couch. So he let her be.

When he placed the pillow behind her, Shreya suddenly opened her eyes. She shifted and tapped on the space beside her.

Charan's lips twitched as he laid beside her. Shreya immediately crawling on top of him lying down on his embrace and went back to sleep. She used his arms as her pillows and snuggled in.

"I need to buy a bigger couch." He mumbled to himself. Even though he always indulged her, this couch was way too small for two people. He did not know how she always slept so comfortably in such a cramped space. It may be because of her small frame but he almost always ended up with a body pain whenever they slept like this. And of course, his legs dangled out of the couch touching the air around while hers always ended a few inches short of the armrest.

Now that he looked at her, Shreya was actually pretty small with a very petite frame. He just never particularly noticed since she always walked around in those heeled boots.

He brought her closer to himself went to sleep.
