Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

Shreya walked out of her office and straight away called Charan.

"Hey…" Charan answered distracted on the other end.

"Where are you?" Shreya asked.

"I just dropped Akira off at my parents' place and entered office. You??" Charan asked unlocking his office doors.

"Just got out of my office... Can I come over?" Shreya asked and a few minutes later she added, "I won't disturb you, I promise."

"It's okay… Come over." Charan said and hung up. He went to his work right away.

In that empty office, every scratch of his pen echoed clearly through the walls. Such silence was disrupted by the hopping sound of a pair of shoes on the corridor. Shreya hopped all the way to his office and peeped through the door pushing it ever so slightly.

Charan looked up and was met with a pair of eyes peeking. He let out a chuckle.

He sat upon his chair leaning behind.

"What are you doing??" Charan asked with an amused smile.

Shreya walked to him and gave him a sheepish grin.

"Come here," Charan called her closer.

Shreya walked over. Even though her lips were smiling, he could clearly see the dark circled around her eyes.

He sat her on the table in front of him and c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair and cheeks. Shreya snuggled into his touch like a pampered kitten and Charan's face softened considerably seeing her like this. They hadn't been able to spend much time with each other in the past month. He had been so busy that he always reached her place well into the night. And by the time he got there, both Akira and Shreya were almost always asleep. And he woke up and left before they woke up.

Only yesterday he got to spend some time with Akira since he had dinner with his family at his mum's. That is why he did not refuse Shreya when she asked to come over even though he had a load of work waiting on him.

"Why didn't you go home and get some sleep??" He asked.

"I thought I could get some sleep here and then have lunch together," Shreya said letting out a yawn.

"Then you go get some sleep."

Shreya just pouted and w.h.i.n.ed but did not get down from the table. She just extended both of her hands out asking to be carried.

Charan rolled his eyes but still got out from his chair and carried her to the couch.

"You are worse than Akira sometimes you know??" Charan asked as he tugged her in. He made sure she was comfortable and left a kiss on her temple. "Good night"

Shreya fell asleep in a blink of an eye while Charan went back to his work. There was an innate serenity in the office. Shreya did not even stir the slightest. She slept through like a baby but Charan couldn't help stealing glances at her from time to time. Once he was done with his work, he ordered some food and approached her.

"Hey…" he said c.a.r.e.s.sing over her head and said down in front of her.

Shreya did not wake up. She mumbled and stirred. When he tried to wake her up again, Shreya shifted and laid on his l.a.p.s.

"5 minutes…" She mumbled showing his 5 fingers like a kid. Then she circled her arms around him. Charan chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. But they were interrupted by food delivery and Charan untangled himself and took the delivery.

As soon as he opened the boxes, the room was filled with the aroma of food which instantly shook Shreya awake. She sat up as if someone was heating her b.u.t.t and looked around.

"Hey… look who's up??" Charan said looking up at Shreya while simultaneously unpacking the food.

Shreya jumped from her spot and hopped towards the food.

"Whoa whoa whoa… Slow down. Go wash your mouth and hands first." Charan stopped her at her tracks.

Shreya pouted but still obeyed him.

"Now can I eat??" Shreya asked showing him her clean hands and open mouth.

Half an hour passed and Shreya happily whirled around in the office and patted on her now full stomach. She looked very content.

"Someone looks happy," Charan commented hugging her from behind.

"Of course. I am going to take a full one week off!! I have worked way too much in the past month. So I am dumping my work to Akash this week and relax for a while." Shreya beamed.

Charan glared at her.

"Can't you take the leave when I am free??" Charan sulked.

"But you won't be free for another month!! And Akira has three days' leave next week. And she already put together a full list of things and places she wants to do and visit." Shreya said with a proud smile for making a perfect plan.

"So you are telling me that you two are going to go have fun without me for three freaking days??" Charan asked in disbelief.

"You won't let us??" Shreya asked suddenly hesitant with her pleading eyes.

Charan did not reply but instead, he reached out inside his pockets for his phone and showed her some photos.

"You see that? That's what I have to put up with on normal days. I can already imagine how horrible it is going to be when you guys go out…" Charan said rolling his eyes. He had been thoroughly tortured by his daughter in this past month she had been staying with Shreya. Akira kept sending him pictures making him absolutely miserable and maybe slightly jealous even.

Shreya looked at the photos bewildered.

"What did you do to provoke her to this extent??" Shreya asked in awe seeing at least a dozen pictures of her being sent to Charan every single day in the past month.

"I just… remember the last time she had to stay overnight with her cousin. Back then I sent her a picture of you and me spending time together. Now she is getting back at me." Charan confessed resigned.

Shreya blinked at him several times to see if he was joking but when she saw his dead-serious expression she couldn't help the laughter bubbling at the base of her throat seeing his dejected eyes.

"Your daughter is an expert in revenge!" Shreya said in between laughter.

Charan just rolled his eyes and he knew he could not deny it anyways.

While still in a laughing fit, Shreya suddenly opened the camera app on his phone and captured a picture of them both. And before he could even see what she was doing, she sent them to Akira.

Charan looked at her shocked.

"Why on hell did you do that??" Charan asked baffled.

"Just because…" Shreya said shrugging her shoulders.

Charan just shook his head but prepared himself to receive his torture in the coming days. After all, he couldn't bear to scold either one of them.
