She makes me melt

Chapter 2

That night was sleepless night for Smith. Yet he went to bed late, he woke at 5am and did hard gym workout. Even though, his body did the practice, his mind was fully occupied by Vani. He controlled the stress by punching the sand bag.

His resentment rose not only about her disturbances but also for her ignorance towards him.

It was not easy to fix appointment with him; He was such a busy person with high influence. Many Cricketers and cine actors also had a good opinion on him. But she refused to meet him which was a great insult to him. It's not easy for him to digest.

On that day, he spent more time in the gym comparing with other days. Wiping the sweat with a towel, he entered his room and stood before the mirror for some seconds. Taking some decisions, he made a call to one of his body guards.

That person attended the call immediately, "Yes sir, what I can do for you?".

"Kidnap the reporter Vani and her cameraman ", Smith ordered.

"Yes sir ", he accepted and he finished his boss's order on that evening. Yes Vani and Vignesh were kidn*pped.

The reality was the reports had to safeguard them by their own. On that day, Vani and Vignesh went to a slum for collecting news. Their vehicle tyre was punctured by one of Smith's body guards and they chose a three wheeler to return to their office.

But the driver was also in favor of Smith.

"Where do you want to go?”, he turned towards them sprayed anesthetic drug on their face and they went to unconscious state immediately.

When they woke up their hands and legs were tied with rope and they were at Smith's guest house.

Vani woke up first but she could not able to see anything clearly and felt drowsy due to the effect of drug.

She shook his head and tried to understand what was happened. Slowly she remembered everything and gave a weird look around the place.

At there, Smith was seated with majestic and smoked a cigarette. She was stunned because Smith's eyes lied on her face. Within few seconds Vignesh also woke up and tried to understand the situation.

He looked at Smith and understood that they were kidn*pped. "Oh sir I don't know anything. I am only a cameraman. She plays the major role ", he screamed out with fear.

Smith watched their reactions with a cruel smile and asked his body guard to bring her phone. She shouted at him "why?” with widen eyes.

"Call your office and ask for one week leave”, Smith ordered.

"No", she refused immediately.

 As a journalist she knew that their office staffs would search them for sure and it would be a risk for Smith. Even he knew that also.

Therefore, he insisted her to get permission for a leave and then there would not be any more problems further.

After she refused, Smith stood up and moved towards Vignesh and sat closer to him. "Say one week leave” he insisted her again. She moved her head horizontally as the sign of rejection.

He took a long breath and clutched the hands of Vignesh and ordered her that, "Get permission for leave for one week leave”

Vignesh got afraid, "What are you going to do sir?".

Vani jerked for a second but she refused again ‘No’.

Smith folded Vignesh's hands tightly on backward and Vignesh started to shout due to severe pain. "No!!! Just leave him", Vani shivered and shouted.

Smith snubbed her and said, “Ask for one week leave ", still he folded his hands. Vignesh shouted "Obey him Vani. It's so painful". She realized that there was no way to escape from this situation and so she agreed to make a call to her office.

 Smith's body guard made a call  and  put it on speaker mode and handed over it to Vani. She thought to reveal the present situation to their Manager. If she trapped alone, she could take full risk bravely but she was with Vignesh.

She knows Smith was able to go for any extreme level to finish his work. At this time being, Smith signed Vignesh to keep quiet because he murmured in pain.

Vani had an angry look on Smith and made a call. Her Manager attended the call. "Sir I am Vani"- Vani.

"Yes Vani! What’s the matter?”, He asked.

"Sir I am not feeling well I need one week leave", Vani replied

"What has happened Vani?" he asked with compassion.

"Viral fever sir "- Vani,

 "Ok Vani take rest" he permitted her. She thanked him and cut the call. 

Smith instructed to call the bodyguard again to their Manager using Vignesh’s phone. The body guard again made a call to manager and gave it to Vignesh.

After his Manager received the call, "Sir I am suffering from viral fever. So I need one week leave",  Vignesh asked the permission.

Smith and Vani both get irritated on his speech as he could not able to tell a reasonable lie.

"Do u ask for a leave because of Vani's absence? " , Manager asked in a harsh voice.

Vignesh replied "We both are working in the same place. So we both are affected by the same disease. Don't you believe me?”

Manager got irritated with his explanation and said, "Don't talk rubbish" and cut the call.

"That old man talked with Vani in a respective manner but he didn't believe my words Sir. He gives special care for girls", Vignesh complained to Smith.

 Smith looked at his bodyguard silently and he put on the plaster on Vignesh’s mouth.

"All are same in this matter. Plaster is only for me and not for Vani", Vignesh murmured.

Smith looked at Vani and she too looked him firmly.

Their sharp eyes clashed with each other’s. He rolled up his chair towards Vani and she looked at him quitely.

"Miss Vani. Am I right? ", asked Smith.

"Sorry!  Mrs .Vani ", Vani showed her objection.  Vignesh shocked with her answer because he knew that Vani was unmarried. Smith asked "Married to whom?" and she replied "That is none of your business”

"Okay! Leave that.  That is not my business. Then shall we talk about my business now?” raised his one eyebrow.

 She lowered her head and beame silent.

"Here look Vani! This is not like a one or two crore business. I planned to invest billions of money here. So it may have both positive and as well as some negative too", he tried to compromise her as a business man.

"So, you are accepting now that your project has some negative effects. Right?” She enquired him.

Smith replied with an anger, "If you see negative area in everything, the development of the country will be zero. Then you will get only foods from those lands for the next centuries".

 She accepted "Yes you are right. We can’t compensate our food for this development. Understand?"

He lost his patience and shouted "shut up", with an angry expression.

 Vignesh started to shiver but Vani sat bravely with a chest erected.

 "Look Vani! We will talk frankly. Take necessary actions to stop the protest now", asked Smith and she refused boldly "No way".

Smith looked at Vignesh with a cruel smile where she understood his next action very well.

"It is not a problem for me, you can kill him. There is no wrong to sacrifice his life instead of many innocent peasants and people" , Vani told.

Vignesh shocked and moved his body and head because he was tied up in chair. Smith removed the plaster and asked him "What?".

"Sir please!! don't stick the plaster. It won’t allow me to talk" and looked at Vani and asked  “Vani!! Are you a friend or traitor?" in an angry voice.

 But she didn't care about anything and she kept quiet.

Smith threatened her “So you are not ready to accept my words?"

"Yes" she said boldly.

"Ok then you will see the hell for the following week" Smith walked towards the entrance door. 

Immediately Vignesh asked her, “I have an important question to ask”, she questioned “What?”

“I know you are unmarried but why did you tell as Mrs", which reached the ears of Smith and he waited for her answer. She replied "Just for fun".

Smith heard their conversation and looked at her with a cunning smile and rushed away where she looked at him angrily.
