Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

Adam's feet wouldn't stay on the ground as he made a beeline in search of Dr.Preethi's office as soon as he was given a green flag to walk around without his crunches. He was getting officially released today. All his stitches were removed but sadly for him, his handling doctor got switched. Adam for a second thought it was because Preethi did not come to the hospital but then a little inquiry confirmed, she is on duty today.

So as soon as he was released from the custody, he went straight in search of her. His legs suddenly braked and came to a standstill when he saw a glimpse of her. If he had doubts before, it all washed away when he found himself grinning like an idiot with just the sight of her. He never knew he had it in him to miss a person so much in just two days. She had been away for just a weekend and he almost felt as if he was seeing her after eons.

His feet took him wherever she went without his permission while his eyes stayed stuck to her.

"Are you going to come and say something to me or are you just going to keep stalking me like this for the whole day??" A female voice suddenly reached his ears startling him. And when he took a closer look, he saw Preethi's lips actually moving and she was slowly turning towards him.

Adam froze for one whole second. But then his fight-or-flight response kicked in and his mind did not even consider to fight. He straight up instinctively hid behind a wall and crawled on his knees. His brain was so muddled that he did not even process that she must have already seen him if she had talked to him. But then his limbs froze midway when he heard a giggling sound coming from right behind him.

Adam stood up immediately. He looked exactly like a kid being caught with his hands into the candy jar. His cheeks blushed furiously for being caught red-handed while scratching the back of his head.

That just made Preethi laugh harder. He just looked like a complete idiot standing there in front of her. She forgot the last time she had actually laughed this hard. She was thoroughly amused by his antics. He reminded her of some teen building up the courage to ask his crush out. That flattered her to no end. With great effort she composed herself.

"Hello, Mr. Adam. What are you doing here??" Preeti asked but her face evidently showed her suppressed amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Uh… ahem… H-Hello, Dr. Preethi." Adam stammered and gave her a very nervous smile that looked very uncomfortable.

Preethi's lips twitched unconsciously.

"Well, hello. So, you are going to tell me what you are doing here now that we have taken the pleasantries out of the way!!" Preethi asked once again. There was sarcasm in her voice but then there was also an amus.e.m.e.nt that made Adam feel like a kid in front of her.

Adam cleared his throat and braced himself the best he could and thrived to start a conversation. "Well… How was your weekend??"

"If you came here to chit-chat, you are going to have to follow me as before. I don't know about you but I still have work to do!!" Preethi said and started walking back to continue with her work without really giving him an option.

But then Adam did not mind that much. He just followed her like a lost puppy with a big fat grin. They crossed a couple of corridors before coming to an office room that read "Dr. Preethi."

The whole way there Adam kept running his mouth. He recounted every insignificant thing that had happened to him in the two days that she was away. Preethi did not really have the heart to stop his excited banter and he also reminded her of Akil a little bit. This was exactly what Akil will do whenever she came home after finishing her shift. He would fill her with every last detail she had missed in his life.

But Adam realized he was blabbering when Preethi stopped at her office and he quieted down at last. up.

He was not one to run his mouth unnecessarily. In fact, Pritham always said it was like building a Pyramid to pull two sentences out of him. But today without realizing, he had actually talked so much nonsense… he himself couldn't believe it. He just crossed his fingers wishing he hadn't annoyed Dr.Preethi away before ever getting a chance.

"Answering your question from before. I had a lovely weekend. I was able to spend some time with my son and family after a long time." Preethi said after getting seated on her desk and a bright smile played on her face remembering all the fun she had in the past two days.

Adam jerked immediately and faced her with shock. He had a baffled but also an anguished expression on his face. He stood their shell shocked for a while. Preethi went on with her work leaving him to deal with the quiet room.

"You are married??" He eventually asked the one question that pained him greatly just to spell out.

"Divorced!!" a cold single word reply came from Preethi unconsciously which was like a saving grace for Adam.

His face brightened all over again.

"Really??" He asked in disbelief. But there was a joy and a shred of hope in his voice. This would have amused Preethi if only his eyes did not look so tortured at the moment as if he was betting the whole of his life on her answer.

"You look awfully pleased with my misfortune Adam??" Preethi stated rolling her eyes at his antics. Her voice was stern but she wasn't being serious actually. She was just pulling his legs.

But then to Adam, she looked awfully serious. Due to his fl.u.s.tered state, he did not even realize her lips were twitched at their corners.

"No-no-no… I.. I did not mean it like that. I just.. I was just…" He stammered looking terrified. He just wanted to talk to her and spend some time with her. He did not really come here to mock at her wounds. But somehow he seemed to have managed to do exactly that without putting any effort.

He took a few deep breaths and composed himself best he could and started apologizing nervously, "I'm sorry… I am really sorry. I did not mean it like that. I was just…"

But his blabbering was interrupted but Preethi's giggle. Adam's face jerked up once again and suddenly turned dazed seeing her smiling face. He forgot himself completely when he saw her laughing so carefree. He just kept looking at her without blinking as if he was afraid she will disappear from his sight if he looked away even for a second.

"I was just pulling your legs, Adam. God, you are so easy. And stop staring at me, will you?? I am not an art piece in a museum!!" Preethi said once she stopped giggling.

Adam's embarrassment reached its peak and he blushed furiously and averted his eyes away from her instantly. He was dejected. Between his stupidity and her teasing, he lost all his confidence to ask her out now. So he said a quick goodbye and turned to leave.

But then his legs froze in place when he heard what she uttered next.

"Weren't you supposed to ask me out for a dinner or something before you leave??" Preethi asked very nonchalantly leaning back on her chair and looking straight at his turning figure.

If she said she had thoroughly enjoyed his company in the last 15 minutes will be a sour understatement. She found him absolutely adorable for some reason. That is why she decided to take her brother's words and go with the flow.
