Chapter 12

Piyush then responds to Pia's question by explaining that the people in the photos are actually Arjun's close friends from college and work. He also mentions that understanding Arjun's social circle can help in managing his mood swings effectively.

Pia took pics from Piyush's hand and sent them to John to find their background plus connections with Arjun. How does it mean a positive or negative way? Piyush asked with doubt, "Bhabhi, please tell who are you really? As you are inquiring about Arjun bhai like you are spying on his personal life."

Pia just smiled mysteriously and replied, "I'm just trying to understand him better so I can support him in the best way possible." Piyush leaves the terrace and Pia smiles with a devilish look as she gets points to connect the dots in her investigation. She knew she was getting closer to uncovering the truth about Arjun's mysterious past and she was determined to find out more.

Arjun is on the shooting set seeing a mirror as a spot boy holds it as he sets his hairstyle. Harsh says with frustration, "Yaar, Arjun are you ready for the action scene? In this, you have to sit in the car and then jump out just before it crashes into the wall. It's a crucial scene; make sure you're fully prepared."

Arjun sees him with a bored look and says taking a coke cane, "Yaar, why do you always stress so much? I've done this kind of scene a hundred times before. Don't worry, I've got this." Harsh nods his head still looking concerned, as Arjun takes a sip of his drink and walks towards the car for the scene.

At the SecretZone News office, Vihan, with anger and frustration slams his fist on the desk. "I can't believe that Pia married Arjun, plus the dinner date photo is going viral. Roma, I want Arjun Ahuja's interview date scheduled and make sure Pia doesn't know about this." Roma says with a tense look, "Sure, sir." Roma leaves his cabin and Pia comes to meet Vihan with an evil smile.

Pia provokes him saying with an evil smile, "Oh, what, my friend? Angry over my marriage news but listen, it's just my matter; no need to interfere." Vihan clenches his jaw, trying to control his anger as Pia's words hit a nerve. He takes a deep breath before responding, "I'm not interested in your personal matters, Pia. Just stay out of my way." Pia ask with doubt, "Oh really or just trrying to pretend as if you don't care?" Vihan's eyes narrow as he replies, "Believe what you want, Pia. Just stay away from me."

Pia smiles and says giving an envelope, "Uncle told me to give it to you, and listen, I don't want any rules for going and coming to the office. Here, I am a crime reporter but what purposes did your dad tell you?"

Vihan takes the envelope and glances at it before responding, "I appreciate the message, Pia. Just make sure to follow the office rules, okay?" Pia nods her head and walks away leaving Vihan to ponder his father's intentions.

Pia came to her desk as Roma told her about the Velvet Chase Gang. Pia's curiosity piqued as she listened to Roma's description of the Velvet Chase Gang eager to uncover the truth behind their criminal activities. She quickly began researching for her next big story determined to make a name for herself as a fearless crime reporter.

Pia asked Roma with a serious look, "First lead, would I get to investigate the Velvet Chase Gang?" Roma smiled and handed Pia a file with some potential leads saying, "Start here and let me know if you need any help." Pia smiled and says, "Thanks Roma but I will not make you embrass as I will this news breaking and trending plus police will get involved. I'll keep you updated on my progress."

With a determined look in her eyes, Pia set out to uncover the truth behind the Velvet Chase Gang's criminal activities.

Roma wishes her the best of luck and walks out of her cabin. Vihan was seeing his desktop with a tense look. "I hope Pia won't create mess again for me or trouble for others," he muttered under his breath feeling a sense of unease about the situation. He decided to keep a close eye on the developments and be prepared to intervene if necessary.

On the shooting set, Arjun gets angry as the car was so dirty and says with anger, "Harsh stop the shoot now, as you know I am germophobic." He stormed off set leaving the crew scrambling to clean the car before he would agree to continue filming. The tension on set was palpable as everyone tried to appease Arjun's demands and salvage the day's work.

Harsh with anger says, "Arjun's tantrum is really causing delays and disruptions to the entire production schedule." The crew members exchanged worried glances unsure of how to handle the situation without further aggravating the actor.

Harsh dials Pia's number, then says with tension as she receive the call, "Pia. Please I need your help. As small dirt plus spot boys or crew members do not wear the gloves. Arjun is making so much drama, and we need to figure out a way to get him back on track. Can you please come to set and help us resolve this issue before it escalates any further?" Pia quickly agreed to come and assist in managing the situation hoping to diffuse the tension and keep the production running smoothly.

Pia was working over her news story, but Harsh's call made her tense. She says to herself, "Oh God, what is the problem with this person? What can I do with this problem, as I don't know Arjun much? His germophobia problem: how to deal with it without causing more drama on set?"

Pia took her phone and bag and then left to meet with Harsh and Arjun on set out what made Arjun so angry.
