After reaching home Shivaay went to his room. The whole Day was Hectic for him.

He is very tired now. So first he decided to take a shower to relax himself.

Later Everyone gathered for dinner. Soon Shivaay also joined them. Now he was feeling good.

Dadi asked Shakti and Shivaay about their meetings. Shivaay informed her

Dadi ( Grandma ) meeting was Good and soon we are going to start our work at this project.

Shakti also informed her that the deal was done and clients really liked our new designs

According to them our designs are fresh and new. They said the designs have the capability to attract more and more customers. Sure this deal is going to give us more profit and popularity.

But I really want to give the credit of this deal to our new Fashion designer Annika. She helped us a lot by convincing our clients. She is a very talented girl. She is a very sweet girl Maa ( Mom) I think you should meet her once. Am I Right Om ?

Yes chotte papa ( uncle ) you are right she is a very sweet and calm girl both professionally and personally ' Om replied

I really wanted to meet her once. After hearing about her from you both I am sure that she is a very Nice girl " Dadi said after hearing about Annika

Shivaay was staring his family without blinking. He was surprised that How can this girl impress his father and Brother in her first meeting, Even Now his Dadi also looks very impressed with her , Strange.

It's not like that he is not admitting that she is talented but he can't accept that she is sweet and calm because whenever she meets him. She is always ready to fight with him.

After finishing their dinner they went to their respective rooms. Shivaay was working. When suddenly his room's door was knocked.

Om was the one who knocked the door

After watching Om he called him inside

Come in Om you don't need to knock before entering. You are my Brother

You can come whenever you want

Keep that straight, Ok

Ok Ok Shivaay. Don't be angry. I know that I don't need to knock before entering but I thought you were sleeping that's why I was checking ' Om replied

Really ? So you tell me what you are doing here instead of sleeping ? Shivaay asked

Nothing I just wanted to spend some time with my Bro. I hope you are not busy " Om replied

Not at all. Even though I am not feeling sleepy " Shivaay replied shutting his laptop

Shivaay I have one question for you. " Om said

What ? Shivaay asked nonchantly

At Morning when I met Annika she was looking very Happy. But After meeting you she was looking disturbed. Did you say anything to her ? Om asked

No Om. I didn't say anything like this from which her mood can spoil. I also can't understand what her problem is. In fact you can say she has some problems with me. She always gets ready to fight with me without any valid point ' Shivaay replied

Sorry but I didn't get you ' Om replied

Do you remember the girl who fought with me that day ? Shivaay asked

Yes, I remember her very well. Om replied

It is none other than Anika who is that girl.

Shivaay replied

What ? Om asked unbelievably

She is the same girl who fought with me that day and she fought with me even today. I must say she is totally crazy. I can't stand even a moment with her " Shivaay replied remembering their fight

Are you sure because as far as I know She is a very Nice girl. I talked to her and after meeting her I am sure that she is a girl who believes to live her life happily. She behaved me very Genuinely " Om supported Annika

Really then I can say that she has only a problem with me " Shivaay whispered

If you really don't like her then why did you appoint her as our fashion designer. You can easily fire her After all you are the boss " Om questioned

I never said that I disliked her in fact she is the one whom I selected without meeting her once. I have only one problem: She is too Arrogant and outspoken. Why she is like that I have no idea " Shivaay replied

Then you are admitting that she is beautiful & you liked her " Om asked amusingly

In trance Shivaay said yes I agree she is indeed Beautiful. After realizing what he said just a few minutes ago he composed himself and replied

I mean yes she is beautiful but I didn't select her because of her beauty. I selected her Because of her skills, work and talent. I have no doubt about her ability. She has already proved it by taking the right decision at the right time and getting our company that million dollar deal. I know she is the best for our upcoming project and our Company .That's why I can't let her go. I never make a loss making deal.

I knew very well that there are so many rivals of mine who just want an opportunity to compete with me and I didn't want to give them any opportunity That's why I didn't fire her.

You know well that I am a pure Businessman and always wanted to make decisions in

my favour

Om was listening to Shivaay's each and every word very carefully. Now he is damn sure that this girl is surely going to make her place in his brother's life one day. As a brother he knows his brother's choice very well.

But he wants to give time to Shivaay to explore his feelings that's why he remained silent. He nodded and after wishing Good Night to Shivaay he returned to his room

The next day Annika was getting Ready for the office. After having her breakfast she went to the office.

In the office she met with Mallika. They smiled and Hugged each other

Good Morning Anu. How are you ? How was your first day here. Sorry I was on leave yesterday that's why I didn't come yesterday " Mallika said to her

Good Morning dear. I am Absolutely fine and My day was also very fine until I didn't meet him. Annika replied

You are talking about whom ? Mallika asked confusingly

You know that day I met with a Guy

Whom I fought. He was none other than

Our Boss Shivaay Singh Oberoi " Annika informed

What ? You fought with Shivaay sir and you are still standing here. Why didn't he fire you till now as far as I know he can't forgive the person who behaves rudely with him. He has a record to fire numerous people within a minute without a second thought

What ? Are you for real ? Annika asked as if it's not a big deal.

Yes Anu it's the truth. He is an Arrogant and a strict person. So please try to stay away from him. I don't want that one day he will fire you that's why I am saying this

Whatever Mallika but I am not going to be scared of him. You know me very well

yes Anu I know you very well and I am sure that you can leave this job in a second because for you your self respect is very important

I respect your choice as a girl

But Anu always remembers one thing this job is a golden opportunity for you and surely this upcoming competition is going to help you to establish you as a well known fashion designer

So please be careful and grab this opportunity

I hope you can understand.

Yes Malli you are right I should focus on my work only. This is only an important thing for me. Thanks

for the advice

No need for your thanks. Do you get that ? Mallika asked sternly

Ok.. Ok bestie. " Annika replied

They both were busy in their talks then suddenly they heard the voice of their Boss. Everyone made themselves presentable. When Shivaay arrived as usual everyone greeted him ' Good Morning Sir. He nodded and moved on.

He was going towards his cabin but watching Annika he stopped and noticed that Annika is the only one who didn't greet him. She was standing silently with others. So he teased her

Good Morning Miss Jaiswal. Come to my Cabin right now. I have some work .After greeting her he directly went to his cabin.

Everyone was Watching Annika after his departure All were looking like her as she is an Alien and some girls are feeling jealous of her.

Annika murmures to Mallika what happened why All are watching me like this

Dear they are watching you because till now Shivaay sir never Greets anyone you are the first whom he greets himself and the most important thing you didn't wish him back not before

not now

Are you serious ? That's the reason that I didn't like him because he is very Arrogant and weird. Due to him only everyone was staring at me as I am an Alien

Whatever , Annika leaves everything aside and just calms yourself. I don't know why he called you. Go fast because he doesn't like the people who are not punctual All the best " Mallika said

to her

Annika nodded and went to the Shivaay's Cabin. She knocked on the door. From inside Shivaay said

Come in.

yes sir. You called me " Annika asked

yes I called you because I wanted to discuss some work but before that I wanted to ask you why you didn't answer me ?

Sir I am not getting you ' Annika said to him

I mean to say when I wished you Good Morning why didn't you wish me back

Good Morning Sir ' Annika wished him

Good so now I can expect from you that you are going to wish me regularly. Is it not ?

yes sir sure. You are my boss how can I refuse your order Now please can you tell me why you called me here ' Annika said sarcastically clenching her teeth making

Shivaay amused
