"What took you so long? " My eyes widened at his question. I reached here in less than a minute! What is this guy talking about?

I was tempted on saying all this on his face but then again, I'm smarter than this. I can't afford pissing him.

"I'm sorry Sir, I'll be quicker. " I apologized without any fault, looking down.

"Look at me when I speak to you Miss. Murthy. " He demanded and I immediately looked at him.

He was looking at me keenly, making me a bit uncomfortable. This was the first time someone was looking at me with this intensity, I was about to melt.

"What's your father's name? " I was confused at his question. It's clearly written on my bio data that The Manik Malhotra must be having. But I still had to answer.

"Mr. Venkatesh Murthy Sir. " I told him and he got up from his chair and slowly walked towards me. His eyes were stuck on my face and I looked down flushed.

He stood really close before leaning towards me causing my breathing to become heavy. As he leaned near my ears, I felt him breathing in my ears causing me to close my eyes.

I was shivering and breathing heavily because of the closeness and he cupped both my shoulders.

Then he whispered something in my ears which I couldn't understand because of the anxiety and nervousness that I was feeling due to the closeness.

"Miss. Murthy, I asked you something. " I was jolted back to my senses when he left my shoulders and looked at me after leaning back.

"Huh? " I asked in confusion and saw a tiniest smile on his face with lots of satisfaction.

"I asked you if you are sure that it's your father's name? " This guy was shocking me with his every move and sentence. He must be not in his senses right now for asking me something like this.

"Excuse me Sir! What do you mean? " I snapped and leaned on the back of the chair and kept his hands on the table.

"Miss. Murthy, I had to ask you this because my informers tell me something else." He said and I looked everywhere except him.

"How does it concerns my work Sir? I don't think being adopted makes you less efficient for your job. " I said looking at him and he sighed.

"I never said that either Miss. Murthy. I just wanted you to tell me the truth. Were you really adopted by Mr. And Mrs. Murthy? " He asked and I gave him a nod.

"Yeah, they were told that Ma can't conceive, so they adopted me but after few years, Nalini happened. " I told him everything and he gave me a nod.

"Now you may leave Miss. Murthy. " He said heading towards his seat and without wasting a second, I left from there.

Directly heading to my cabin, I closed the door behind me and exhaled deeply.

He just knows it all! Things you tell and things you don't,  he knows everything.

Shaking my head, I sat on my seat and took the file back in my hand. Holding it, I decided to focus on work instead of all this.

It was after around two hours, that I felt a bit sleepy, so I decided to get myself a cup of coffee. And as I was about to get up, I heard the wireless buzz.
