56. His office

Happiest birthday Bhumi.

______

It was a day off for Meera and she was sitting idly in her room surfing through her phone when she got a call from Aashrit. She smiled seeing his name displaying on her screen and attended the call instantly.

"Hello, Aashrit ji." She said excitedly only to hear a chuckle.

"Hello, Meri Bulbul. What are you doing?" He asked.

Meera smiled at his sweet tone "Nothing. Just scrolling videos on my phone."

"Baby I forgot a very important file. Can you please bring it to my office?" He said.

"I'll give it to Adwait this instant." She said standing from the bed.

"No babe. It's really important. Once it leaves our room, it should only be handed to me and no one else." He said in a serious voice and Meera nodded in understanding.

"Ok, I'll bring it," Meera said and cut the call.

Meera ran to the wardrobe and got dressed in a blue-colored suit leggings with heels and left her hair open. She took her dupatta settled it on her shoulder and left the room. Once she reached downstairs, she found Adwait already there waiting for her.

"Boss has already called me. I'll be dropping you to his office." He said and Meera nodded at him.

Meera settled in the car and they left the mansion when Adwait spoke.

"once you enter the office, you have to go straight and then take the first turn and you'll see an elevator. Press the 50th button and it'll lead you to the boss's cabin." He said as they traveled some distance.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Meera questioned.

"No, I had some work." He said.

Meera suddenly got nervous. It was for the first time she was going to visit him and the thought of visiting alone was scaring her. She didn't know how is employees would react or think. She decided to just walk straight to the elevator without talking to anyone and it would be easy that way.

She came out of her thoughts once the car stopped. Meera took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. Adwait waved her a bye and he left leaving her alone with her anxiety.

She entered his building and got nervous on seeing everyone in professional attire while she was wearing such a heavy suit. She felt out of place and her feet stuck. Her breath quickened thinking about the calculative gaze that would judge her once she walked inside. Her hand sweat and she looked down to see the file in her hand. She remembered the file was important and Aashrit needed it. She decided to fight her fear and took some steps inside.

She closed her eyes in embarrassment when her anklets made noise in the silent environment of the building. She decided to walk fast and just get out of the situation as soon as possible. But before she could get away from their sight

"Who are you?" Meera heard a voice and turned to look at the receptionist looking at her with a Calculative gaze.

Meera shut her eyes as she knew she successfully grabbed everyone's attention. Meera walked slowly to the receptionist while trying to call Aashrit.

"Where are you sneaking?" The receptionist asked and Meera felt humiliated with the tone she used.

"I wasn't sneaking," Meera said in a low voice even though she knew deep down that she was trying to sneak in.

" Now you are proving me a liar." The receptionist said in a loud voice gaining unwanted attention.

Meera looked down at her phone and saw it being attended by Aashrit. She put the phone on her ear and before she could speak, her phone was snatched from her hand.

"How dare you to ignore me?" She seethes at her.

Meera was shocked at the behavior of the lady and looked at her baffled.

"That is not nice of you," Meera said shocked at her behavior. Being a receptionist she should be polite and she is anything but polite "That was so unprofessional of you." Meera completed her sentence.

"Oh, so a girl like you will teach me professionalism." The receptionist shouted again and Meera looked around to see everyone looking at them.

As much as Meera hated attention, she would not let anyone insult her in her husband's office. Because her insult is her husband's insult too.

"I am being polite mam. And I can expect the same from you." Meera said in a calm and composed manner.

"Like I didn't see you sneaking like a thief." The receptionist shouted.

"Just because you thought I was sneaking, it doesn't give you any right to be so rude. I might be an important client of yours and you could have politely asked me the reason for my visit." Meera said disciplining her.

" Who the hell are you to discipline me?" The receptionist shouted getting red in anger.

"My wife." A loud voice echoed in the building and everyone stiffened in their place.

Those who were looking at the drama unfolding started running back to their seat when another voice was heard.

"Everyone stay still at the place you are." He said in a loud voice and everyone stood still.

Meera looked at Aashrit whose eyes were red with anger and his fist was tightened. He walked towards them at a fast pace.

Aashrit stood in front of her with his hand around her waist. He put his hand on her cheek "Are you fine?" He said caressing her cheek and Meera just nodded.

"I'll handle you later." He said to the receptionist and held Meera's hand.

He turned to the crowd of his employees and announced in a loud voice "She is my wife Mrs. Meera Aashrit Singh Yaduvanshi. Take our picture if you want and circulate it among every single employee, soo that next time I don't see anyone disrespecting my wife. Respect her even more than me or else you'll see the worst day of your life." He said while Meera looked at him with some shock and admiration.

Aashrit then turned to the receptionist "And she will be the prime example of that." He said and the receptionist shivered in fear.

Aashrit turned to Meera and smiled on seeing a pout on her face. A lot of gasps were heard around them also some flashes.

Aashrit then bends down and holds Meera in a bridal style.

"Aashirt ji." Meera shrieked lowly and a lot of flashes were thrown their way.

Aashrit walked towards the elevator " Did you forget the tradition of carrying your wife in your arms when she first visited your home? This is my second home, Meera, I am just following the tradition." He said as they entered the elevator. He then looked at Meera " Can you please press the 50th button." And Meera obeyed without any argument as she knew it was of no use.

Once they reached their cabin, Aashrit made Meera sit on his chair and sat on the table in front of her. He held her hand and apologized " I am sorry baby. I should've been downstairs before your arrival only."

Meera shook her head in no "No. It was so hot just like novels." She said with a giggle making Aashrit chuckle with her. "By the way did you see how I handled her?" She asked with excitement in her voice.

"I did. And I loved it. I just wanted to kiss you right then and there but couldn't." He said and captured her lips in a much-needed kiss.

Meera giggled between the kiss as she stood between his legs and he pulled her close. They both leaned back from the kiss and Aashrit kissed her nose.

"Your file," Meera said giving him the file.

"Open it," Aashrit said and Meera made a confused face but still obliged. "Read it," Aashrit said again and Meera shrugged her shoulder and started reading.

" I, Mr. Rao Prakash Singh declare that............" And Meera stopped reading her tauji's name.

"Go on baby," Aashrit said kissing her forehead.

Meera looked at him and then at the paper in her hands. And read again "I, Rao Prasanth Singh hereby declare that as my niece has reached a legal age, I now giving away all the property of my brother back to my niece who is a rightful owner of those. From now on I'm giving Mrs. Meera Aashrit Singh Yaduvanshi, all the rights over the Abhira Pharmaceuticals and Abhira construction company." Meera finished reading and looked at Aashrit looking at her with a smile.

"Your father's property is now yours." He said pulling her close by her waist.

Tears gathered in Meera's eyes of happiness "How? That man would never give even 1 rs to someone." She said shocked.

"And I am not just any man but Your man." He said kissing her forehead.

Meera smiled at him and hugged him tightly "Aashrit ji, do anything with them, I don't care but please make sure Anu Bhabhi never got hurt." Meera requested and Aashrit nodded at her.

"I'll keep that in mind, baby. Now let's go, I wanna spend my evening with you." He said and took her hand in his moving out of the office.
