Shreya POV

It was morning and the conference was in the same hotel. I got ready for the same. Vaibhav was joining me today.

I went in the hall and found him sitting on the round table.

"Hey." I said and he waved. I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour and sat next to him.

"Shreya listen well and take notes. The question and answer session is at the end of the day." He said and I nodded.

Some very famous journalists were present in the conference. My idol, Mr. Abhimanyu Gupta was also present.

"Vaibhav sir, are you speaking here?" I asked him.

"It's going in alphabetical order so my chance will be at the 6th day." He informed.

Finally it was lunch and we went to the banquet for buffet. I was very hungry by that time. During lunch, I got to personally meet Mr. Abhimanyu Gupta.

"Hello sir." I said.

"Hello. From which channel are you?" He asked.

"ABC CHANNEL sir." I said.

"Ohh so you work under Vaibhav?" He asked and I nodded.

"Your good name?" He asked.

"Shreya Rathore." I said.

"Nice to meet you." He said and then we exchanged pleasantries and I went back to Vaibhav.

"Sir after today's session is over, I'm going to shopping. Your dear wife has given me a long list." I said.

"Wait...she gave a list to you too? She did the same with me. How much does she want." He sighed and I giggled.

We then went back to the room and the meeting resumed. I was taking notes and Vaibhav sir was interacting with other editor in chiefs.

By the time today's schedule wrapped up it was 5. I was tired.

"Shreya I'm accompanying you to shopping." Vaibhav said and went back to him room. Within 45 minutes I was ready and waiting for Vaibhav in the lobby. He finally came and we took a cab. I brought all the things that Anika had ordered. I brought 5 sapphire rings for mumma, mom, Riya, Khyati and Roshni Bhabhi. 5 colognes for Papa, dad, Virat, Rohit and Siddharth bhai. 1 hot wheels car set for Aditya and a pair of bellies for Jahanavi. I got a Daniel Wellington watch for Kabir. As for me, I got an evening gown and Jimmy choos. I was satisfied.

"Shreya are you planning to buy the whole New York?" Vaibhav asked.

"No Vaibhavi. Half of the things are for your dear wife." I told him showing my tongue.

"Hey! She is your best friend too." He shot back. I just pouted.

"Let's go. I'm damn tired." I said and he nodded.

We were back to the hotel by 8:30 and went to have dinner. It was a pretty quiet affair with just me teasing Vaibhavi and the other way round. Finally by 9 I was in my room. I called mumma and talked to her about 20 minutes and then I called mom.

I was about to call Kabir but he beat me to it and called me. I picked it up.

"You are not playing fair Mrs Rathore. You called everybody and not me." He said. I just rolled my eyes.

"I was just about to call you. Wait, how did you know that I've called everyone?" I asked him.

"I heard mom talk to you before I was leaving for office. So I guessed that you would have talked to maa too." He stated simply.

"How are you?" I asked.

"Enjoying my days of freedom." He joked.

"You are such a...." I said.

"I'm such a what Mrs Rathore?" He asked.

"I'm don't know." I said.

"I'm just joking. I'm missing you." He said.

"I'm missing everyone too." I said.

"Playing with me Mrs Rathore? You don't know the consequences. " He said and I rolled my eyes.

"This is the second time you are rolling your eyes." He stated.

I was amazed. Has he installed some hidden cameras in my room. I thought.

"No I've not. I can feel you rolling your eyes at me." He said.

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes you did." He said and chuckled. Now I was embarrassed.

"So how was your day?" He asked.

"It was pretty tiring. After the conference I went to shopping with Vaibhav." I told him.

"That's good. What all did you buy?" He asked.

"If I start telling you, the whole night will pass." I whined.

"You are such a baby. Listen I have to go. Gotta start the meeting in 2 minutes." He said.

"Bye Kabir and take care." I said.

"I love you. Bye." I said and hung up.

It feels so good after talking to him.

I then tried to call Anika but it was busy for the past 10 minutes. I immediately went out of my room and knocked at Vaibhav's. He opened his door and I saw him talking to someone. No guesses who it was.

I snatched his phone, went to my room and locked it.

"Hey Anika!" I said.

"Shreya don't even tell me what happened right now." She said and burst into laughter.

We talked for 30 minutes and hung up. When I went to return Vaibhav's phone, he was pissed off but he knows that it will not be wise to open his mouth. I was satisfied.

By the time I decided to call it night, it was 11:30. I went to the bed and let sleep engulf me.

Next morning I was woken up by Vaibhav's call on the intercom. I got ready and went for breakfast and met him there. I was already stuffing himself with food.

"Vaibhav today you are taking notes and I'll interact with others." I said.

"You cannot. Only the editors can interact." He said and smirked. I just glared at him.

"Fine" I said.

The conference began. Today's was an interesting one. I took all the notes. The day was short. I repeated my same schedule for the next 2 days. Finally it was Day 6 and today was Vaibhav sir's turn to speak. I was very exited.

"Shreya you will have to go Times Square to cover the LGBT rally. You will meet our cameraman Salman there and you will be reporting live." He said.

"Vaibhavi is really wanted to hear you speak." I said.

"It's okay. Next time. Today this is important." He said and I sighed.

I went there and reported live and conducted interviews. With 2 hours I wrapped up and went back to the hotel. Unfortunately, Vaibhav's turn was over and it was a wrap. I went to my room. We had tomorrow's flight for Mumbai. With this, I let sleep consume me.
