ABHIRA'S POV

"Okay, Thanks." I replied as I walked  after the maid into the mansion. Shivansh walked beside me.

Just as our feet stepped into the living room, Shivansh's eyes widened and his lips released a compliment. "Wow, amazing."

This mansion quite impressed me. Judging from the area and interior design, the inside of this mansion is almost similar to grandma's mansion, only different in the exterior design.

The maid took us to another room in the mansion. My eyes stared ahead while observing my surround at glance. However, it differed from Shivansh. He nudged my hand few times, as he whispers, "Abhira."

I turned and looked at him and answered his call with a whisper as well. "What's wrong?"

"This mansion is even nicer than your grandmother's and Nistha's.  I'm sorry if I'm comparing. But, my purpose wasn't to compare. I just want to tell you that this man is very rich. And if you can work for him, it's an fortune for you."

"We'll see. I'm also hoping to get this job." I replied with a sigh. I have been praying since last night that I would make it through this job interview and get a job and a salary equal to or higher than my previous salary so that my family's standards of living would be better. But also, so that I could continue to pay Abhimaan's expensive tuition.

The maid took is to a workroom next to a back porch. She opened the door and let us in.

"Wait here for a minute. Sir Armaan, will come down and see you soon. What would you like to drink?" She said.

"Umm, just mineral water." I replied.  However, Shivansh suddenly nudged my hand a second time and said, "Two red wines, please."

"Do you want the mineral water too?" She asked again.

"No need, just red wine." Shivansh replied.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Replied the maid and she closed the door.

After the door closed, my eyes immediately traveled around the room. Sir Armaan's study is very cozy and extraordinary.

It's amazing to me because at the back of his desk, he put a wide and tall bookshelf, filling with many books at each shelf. And to me this room is like heaven as I love reading so much and I can spend all day just reading.

If it wasn't my future boss's office, I might have approached the bookshelves and peeked at the neatly arranged book on each shelf.

The large glass in this workroom leads to the swimming pool and the mini garden next to the pool, adding the value of this room in my eyes. With the perfect interior design coupled with aesthetic outdoor view, this room is truly a paradise.

"Hey are you going to keep standing there and looking at every corner of this room?" Shivansh asked, who immediately woke me up from my reverie.

"Um, I'm just impressed with this room. You already know that I love reading and the shelves over there is full of books, so this room is perfect." I replied.

"I have an idea." He said.

"What?" I asked curiously, my eyebrows raised.

"What if you marry this guy? Then, you will have this room for yourself and him. You could make love to him between the books. Doesn't that sound sexy?" He replied with a sly smile.

Right after Shivansh said that, the door opened and a handsome, tall, brown-eyed man with jet black hair walked into the workroom and closed the door gently. His clothing style was elegant. He wore a dark-blue long sleeve shirt, both sleeves fold up. Then, he paired the shirt with a pair of black trousers and shiny black shoes. A shiny expensive looking watch was attached to his left arm.

"Sorry, to keeping you waiting." He siad as he walked to his chair.

After he sat down in his chair, he looked at us and said, "Abhira Sharma, please take a seat. Nistha has said a few things about you."

"Okay, sir." I replied as I walked to the chair infront of him. After sitting  in front of him, I waited patiently for the questions he would ask.

As I gazed to his face and eyes, there was honestly a strange stirring inside me. I just felt he looked like the man in the night seven years ago, but maybe it's just my feelings or I'd been alone for too long. It couldn't be him. He is a rich man and how could he end up with me, an ordinary girl in the hotel? I was sure it was my feelings. Six years without a date or even a blind date dinner with a man. I only spent my life with Abhimaan and earning money to make ends meet.

"Excuse me, sir I'd better wait outside." Shivansh said as he left Armaan's workroom.

After Shivansh closed the door, Armaan asked, "Is he your boyfriend? If so he can wait inside here without having to wait outside."

"Oh, no-no, he is my best friend. I asked him to drive me here." I replied while moving my hand left and right, showing that Shivansh and I weren't a couple.

"Oh okay. Let's got on with it. Did Nistha tell you about the job you will have if you get hired by me?" He aksed as he leaned back against the back of his chair.

"I did. She said you are looking for a private tutor for your six-year-old daughter. I have a child the same age as yours. And I used to teach him from a young age, so I feel capable of becoming the private teacher. This is my well crafted cover letter. I hope you liked it." I replied. Honestly, my heart was beating quiet fast and cold sweat covered my palms.

"Okay, I will read it for a while." He replied, as he read the first page of the cover letter I put in the folder.

I tried to calm down while convincing myself that I would pass this interview. Even if I don't pass I would try to find another job even though it might take a while and be draining, but I couldn't do about it.

"Um, I like this cover letter. In terms of education and experience, your are not suitable to be a private tutor, but you're suitable to be a division head or manager. However, since you said that you also have child the same age as mine, it makes me belive you can handle my child. Okay, you're hired and when you can start working?" He asked as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Next week, sir."

"Okay, next week. You will be working straight away. I will tell my daughter about you. By the way, here is the salary amount you will be receiving every month. Questions?" He asked.

"No, sir. Everything is quite clear." I replied happily. My lips painted a big smile.

"Okay, I'm sorry I have to end this interview because I have to see someone. Is that okay?" He asked gently and he stood right infront of me.

He- he was handsome.

"Y-yes it is okay. Thank you for the opportunity. I shall take my leave now." I replied, a little nervously.

"Okay, see next week. Oh, I forgot to tell you something important about my daughter." He said as he got up and walked closer to me.
