Chapter-33
Khusi pov
The elevator opened and the man who stood beside me stepped outside. I was still standing there looking at his face dumbfounded. He is taking me to his office and not Lavanya's, when i asked him about this. He stated 'today your are the boss and my office is yours'
He held his hand inbetween the closing door with his narrowed eyes asking me to hurry up.
Once again my eyes drafted towards the door behind his back. It's going to be a long day for me and hopefully the last as well.
"Thud!" I lowered my head on hearing this loud noise.
Mr. Raizada's body was gracefully laying and it looked like he hit his face right on the wet floor. His hands were stretched out in the mid air and rather than standing up, he was looking at me with
his owl eyes and a dumb face.
"Pffft! I wonder you slipped or the karma just hit you" i passed by his side ignoring his eyes which were surely excepting a helping hand and Clearly i wasn't in the mood for that.
No longer than a minute he came inside the office rubbing his face with a discomforting look which soon changes into confuison on seeing me sitting on his chair.
"What I'm your boss. Right"i spinned around on the chair just to tease him.
He Shaked his head in amusement and got busy with some work sitting on the chair which was at the other end of the table.
Few minutes passed and i was bored to death. It was oddly annoying seeing him acting so casual with his pen in between his teeths and his eyes drilling a hole into the files. I have to do something or else the tables won't turn my way.
" Hey mr. go get me a coffee"i knock on the glass of the table to get his attention.
"I'm busy! I have to finish this work.Let me call someone who will help you" he moved his hand towards the telephone.
"What kind of employee you are? And for your kind information I'm ordering you so don't pass your work on someone else"
The words came out rather imperious and he was taken aback by that.
" Cold coffee" i specified to annoy him, before any word could come out of his mouth.
I expected him to just come at me with all the "WHAT THEs"he was holding back.
"Sure. Anything else?" His voice sound geniune.
"No" hearing this he got up from his chair and moved his way to door.
" And i want it in 15 mintue or else you have to do this again" i shrieked in delight.
He just closed the door with a tight lip smile as if nothing will affect him and every word uttered by me is music.
I know there is a thin line between him and anger but the question is what should i do to make him cross that line.
My hands taping on my chin was making me more anxious, i rested them on the table and now its tapping on the table unconsciously.
My head was wrapped around this situation when my hands collided with the stuffs on the table. I bend down to pickup the things that fell down. I was keeping them on the table when my mind clicked and a victory smile came over my lips. Now see how he throws me out of his office and his life.
Few minutes later
"Here your coffee - cold coffee" he said mimicking my earlier tone but there was no hint of unpleasantness in his voice.
"Keep it there" I pointed to the table near the window of the room.
He did as told after that he started arranging the papers which were scattered around the table. I rose up from the chair and moved to the sofa near the window.
His thinking muddled as he suffled the arranged paper in search of something then turned his head towards me.
"Khusi have you seen a red file. I remember keeping it here. i have an urgent meeting in few minutes and i need that file." he asked and again started roaming his eyes around the table not waiting for any answer.
" Are you talking about this?" I held out the said file infront of my face.
"Yes, thank you" as his legs steeped forward, i threw the file outside the window.
He ran towards it but before he could do anything, the papers were out in the sky flying.
"Oops! It slipped out of my hand"i said innocently, i put my hands up in abrupt dismissal.
His muscles stiffened with his eyes dizzily focused on the falling papers. Somehow i felt chills through my spine, the sudden coldness of his eyes hitting at core.
My eyes widen incredously when he managed a Shakey smile.
" You really hate me, Don't you. My mistakes are unforgivable but atleast let me try. Am i that bad of a person?but i wasn't like that before, Why can't i make you see that." he ruefully Stated before dropping down on the sofa.
Suprised by his intimate motion, i glenced at him. A part of me wanted to break him more and the rest of me was numb.
The tension was thick, our heat filling the empty space between us. His eyes fixed on the floor as if he wanted to melt down into it.
The door suddenly opens catching both of our attention. There stands a man may be in his 50s with an unreadable expression, his hands in his pockets. I could see from the corner of my eyes that the person who was almost at the point of breakdown has already shook the tension off his shoulder.
He strengthen his stance further and got up which made me realize i should too.
As he approached the older man i walked behind him.
"Mr. Raizada i don't know what was going on but i found many papers on the floor when i was comming here" he took out some scrumbled papers from his pockets.
Shit! These are the papers i threw out. The expression of Arnavji's face showed the emberesment and anixtey we feel at the approach of those in authority.
" I believe these are papers of our companies record and the cotation. I never thought you to be so unprofessional, doesn't even care to pick them up or even come at the meeting in time" he spat those words with more than disguise.
"Sir! This not ASR's fault, the girl there" she pointed towards me "she is the one causing the problem, even ASR is fade up of her" Lavanya spoke as her body came forward. She was behind that older man.
"Lavanya! Don't say as you like, when you know nothing" he commented frustratingly.
" Arnav i can't believe you are speaking to my daughter like that" the older man's eyes looking at me from top to bottom "because of a middle class employee"
Daughter? He is Lavanya's father?Now i know where she got her attitude and language from. I could tell the situation has turned into a notch. I was contemplating weather to give him some piece of mind or not when the person shadowing me intrupted.
"she is not just an employee but my wife and i won't accept anyone talking to her like that"his voice bold, but a hint of guilt arises as he took a glance at my face.
"Wi-fe" both daughter and father has left open mouthed even i was taken aback by suprise.
" ASR you are joking right? How can i not know about your wedding and i know you can't choose her. right?"she tried to hold his hand rather seductively. Ewww. Seriously how can someone put themselves so low.
"I don't have to announce my private life and events to everyone and you know i have the eye for the best. You not acknowledging that doesn't change anything" he swayed away her hand before it could make a grip on his elbow.
"You! I-" the old man was about to yelled at him something when his daughter stop him by gripping his shoulder tightly motioning him to come out with her.
Through the glass door i can see both of them arguing and later the daughter assuring something to the man as she put her hands on his shoulder gently.
I sat down on the sofa while he sits on his chair. His face was so dark alluring the clouds of sadness over his head. Was i feeling guilty? Yes. Was this enough for me to forgive him? No.
I was inbetween these mixed feelings when i notice him getting out of his office.
After waiting for him for hours i decided to go out and breath in some fresh air to clear out my mind.
I walked out of the elavator and was passing the desks of other employees who were still emerged in their works but oddly they were giving me side eyes for some reason when someone came rushing towards me.
The smrik on her face grows as the hush hush murmurs of the employees landed on my ears. " She is the girl who trapped our boss' 'Look at her, typical low class"
I was not angry at them, i'm sure she has spread rumours about me. She wanted everyone to hate me like she does. Childish!
"The gold digger has came. Let us ask her what trick she played on our boss to get married to him or should I asked how low did she go" she squawk at me, everyone else laughed at her sarcasm. she has really defamed my image but i know how to earn that back.
"Are you sure trapping the boss wasn't actually your intention or are you butt hurt now that you have lost your chance. Anyone who had spotted you beside him surely have smelled the desperation in you"i fired back, unexpectedly making everyone's laughter more lively.
She fumed in anger "huh everyone knows where you people come for. You people don't miss a chance to claim a successful and rich man. Surely you have went all the way down to lure him, but let me tell you once he gets bored playing with you. He will come back to the person of his class and status"
"No i did no such thing but if you don't shut your ugly mouth. I might lower my class to put you in your place" i intensely look at her, taking big step towards her.
She looked at me mockingly shaking her head"Why?You think you can scare me. I'm sure you slept your way there. Did your mom taught you-"
She couldn't complete her words before the sound of the slap i threw ecohed in the silent room. The other stuffs eyes widen in horror and gasp is the only sound they could have managed.
" You scoundrel" her hands made her way on the red area of her face. Her schoked gaze turned into anger as she clenched her jaw and raise her hand, Probably to fight back.
"What the" before she could counter attack, a strong voice efficently stopped every movement in the room.
We all know whom the voice belongs to, one and only Arnav Singh Raizada.
I wanted him to throw me out of this office,But not like this. Whatever I'm happy either way. I'm not going to regret or apologize for my actions.
