Falak's POV

.

After finishing my lunch, I returned back to my desk to get back to my work. I tried to work on the reports, but one after another, new work came up because of which I couldn't.

So, in the end, I decided to do this at the orphanage and handle today's work as the top priority. Because I was scared that I might end up mixing both the work if I tried to act multi-tasking staff, which I was not.

***

"Let's go?" Ashley said, showing me the time.

"I will be staying here for a while.", I said, showing her the file. She nodded in understanding.

"Fine! Text me when you're home."

"Sure."

"Bye," She said, giving me a side hug, and left from there. I sighed, knowing I had a lot of pending things to do rather than leaving the office premises at six-thirty and enjoying my evening in church or some peaceful place.

Soon one by one, each and every staff started leaving from there, including that devil. I felt like the only human on the whole floor. A part of me was feeling scared and wanted to run from there by screaming it aloud, but the sane part of me was giving me a lecture for thinking like this.

I received a call from Ashley around eight or eight three; I didn't catch the time as I was engrossed in my work.

"Sweetheart, you have to text me after reaching the orphanage, and that wouldn't be happening if you're not planning to leave your damn second home."

"Yeah! Yeah! I'm leaving.", I answered and disconnected the call. I arranged my table before leaving and shut down my desktop. I grabbed my bag and then sauntered to the elevator and pressed the button; before waiting for the elevator at the same time, I started using my phone.

The door of the elevator opened with a Ding, and I quickly walked inside and pressed the '0' ground button as a matter of habit, but instead of going downward, the elevator started moving upward. At that time, my eyes landed on the twenty-third button of the elevator was already pressed.

'God! It means this elevator will first go, and then it will go down. But there's no harm in staying in the elevator, right?'

I stayed standing against the cold steel of the elevator and was trying to sum up all the events that happened today. I couldn't say that my day was fantastic because it was definitely not, but I took a deep breath and tried to recall the best thing that happened today.

'Yeah! That's me! Trying to find out positive things in all things.'

And I knew only one thing that happened great today was receiving the parcel from him. I smiled, recalling his note and especially at the smiling face at the end.

Immediately I stopped smiling when three musketeers entered the elevator.

Not them, again!

I took out my AirPods from my bag and closed my eyes, not looking at any of them. I played soft music to calm my tired mind since it was a long day at work. Soon, the elevator was started moving down. Just a few minutes more, then I would be out of this cage.

Instead of thinking out all the worst things, I focused my mind on HIM.

'Would he have figured it out that I was leaving office this late?', I thought, and immediately a deep urge to meet him started appearing in my mind.

Unlike last time, he didn't give me a new phone where we could talk secretly.

'Isn't he that powerful enough to find out my number?'

But then what would I talk to him? Didn't he express his feelings and I turned him down? And why did I want to talk with him?

And what would I say if I get any chance to talk with him?

That I could be his friend but not his lover or something?

That would be so cruel for him. He wanted to have a romantic relationship with me, and I wanted to friendzone him.

"Ms. Srivastava," I felt a light tap on my shoulder, and immediately I opened my eyes, only to see Jacob in front of me. "I hope you're not planning to sleep here.", He left a sarcastic comment before leaving from the lift. I saw that the doors of the elevator were open on the ground floor was opened, so I quickly walked out of there.

"Good night, Ma'am," The guards greeted me before I could leave the office premises.

"Good night."

I started walking toward the nearest bus stand when I found the same black car which took me to HIM was parked a little ahead of me.

'There are so many cars of the same model and same color.', I reminded myself but couldn't agree with t when I read the same number plate. I remembered that number plate because I had watched that car for a while until it disappeared from my eyesight last night.

But I didn't halt my legs and walked past from there.

"Falak Ma'am," I stopped walking ahead, hearing the familiar voice. I turned around and found Albert. "Sir wants to meet you."

I grabbed my bag tightly, and immediately my breathing was uneven when I heard that.

Even though I had already assumed that.

"But...

"I will drop you at the orphanage in time and safely. I promise."

"Will you tie my hand and eyes again?" I asked, hoping he to say NO, but he smiled in an apologetic way. I sighed and walked inside the car without creating any fuss because there was no point in lying with my own that I didn't want to meet him even though I had to meet him in this way.

***

Albert left me alone at the same place where he did last night. I think that was HIS penthouse or something. I turned my head here and there with the hope to see anything, but it was of no use, and I tried to walk forward by counting the number of steps I was taking; immediately, my head hit with a wall, which was more like his chest to me, as it was hard and soft that the same time.

If you are thinking about how I could guess the soft part?

Well, that's because he was half-naked or full, I didn't know, but I was sure that he had not worn anything to hide his chest, and I strumbled a little bit before my ass could have kissed the ground, his arms wrapped around my waist.

"What do you think you were doing?", His mouth was dangerously close to me. I could feel his hot breath on my face.

"Yo..your arms.", I stuttered, trying to calm down my racing heart.

"It is at its right place.", He responded before adding. "Moreover, you're not even fighting to escape from my arms."

Well, that was right.

I was feeling nervous instead of feeling scared.

"Relax. I wouldn't touch you anywhere else without your wish. That's a different thing that, this mere thought is tempting."

"Wh..why am I here?" I tried. Trust me, I tried not to stutter, but I couldn't think properly because he was invading my personal space. Not that I was complaining, but this was happening to me for the first time.

"Because I missed you."

God! I couldn't imagine the shade of red I currently was. Why did he have to be so blunt?

"May I kiss you?"

Yes, please!! A part of me screamed in joy with the thought of sharing a kiss with him while my brain was warning me at the same time. With every single second, I felt him leaning toward my lips.
