13. New beginning

SHREYA'S POV

Life is full of twists and turns, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. You never know what the future beholds for you. One day before when I was going to my office I didn't know that it was my last day there.

Now I am on my way to the new office. Yes, I accepted the offer with a heavy heart.

Looking at the happiness of my parents I was not able to say no to them. I accepted it thinking it as God's wish.

I have accepted it as a challenge and I am sure that I will be able to convert this challenge into an opportunity.

'Ma'am we are here'. The cab driver informed me.

For today I decided to go with a cab because I can not trust my scooty. It can ditch me anytime.

I was in awe looking at the huge building in front of me. It was clear that crores and crores of Rupees have been spent to construct it so beautifully. But what is the use of this beauty when its owner has a black heart? For him, people are like toys with whom he can play whenever he want.

I looked at my watch it was 8:55 AM that means I was in time. I went in and was astonished by looking at its interior. It is definitely one of the best buildings I have ever seen.

I came to my senses and looked around. People were staring me like they have seen some alien. I quickly wipe my face to make sure that there was nothing on it and put my hair on the back of my earlobe.

I didn't want to get late so I decided to ask about his cabin from one of them. But whom should I ask everyone is looking so older than me and it feels like they will scold me if I ask them something. I am literally not getting even 1% good Vibes here.

I searched for Rahul but he was nowhere to find. How could he left me alone when he knows that this is my first day.

Then a lady approached me and told me about his office and she also told me to run fast because she did not want my first day to get ruin. I didn't bother to ask her about how did she know about me, I just ran.

Finally, I was at his cabin gate. I read his name written on the nameplate - "CEO Mr. Atharva Singhania".

I took a deep breath and got ready for my new journey.

Knock knock

'Come in' came the voice of none other than the devil himself

I slowly opened the door and went in. He was busy with his work and was searching for some files. I was not getting from where should I start so I greeted him.

'Good Morning Sir' I said but neither he replied nor he looked up.

I was in a dilemma about what to say and from where to start.

'You are fired. I don't like employees who enjoy my cabin's view. Don't waste my time and just leave'. He shouted while searching for something.

I flinched. Is he mentally fine or what?

'You are still here' finally he looks up. His face was all red from anger.

I was about to turn to happily leave this cabin.

'Youuu...' he said looking towards me.

'Yes, me'

'Welcome Shreya Gupta, you are full 6 minutes late that too on your first day of work'. He said in sarcastic tone and looking into his wristwatch

'Actually sir I was on time but it took me 5 minutes to search your office and reach here'.

'I am not going to hear any of your excuses. You have already wasted my 2 minutes. You should be here at least 10 minutes before 9:00 AM. As you are my personal assistant, I want all important papers, files and my schedule ready on my table at 9:00 AM sharp'.

He paused for a minute when I didn't react he asked 'Are you even listening to me?'

'No, why should I? You are not my boss anymore'. I said looking directly into his eyes

'What? Are you mad?' He asked all confused

'2 minutes ago you yourself said that I am fired. That means I am no more your personal assistant than why should I hear you?' I told him in his style

'Hahahahaha......I think you haven't read the contract properly'. He said while laughing

'Contract? Which contract?'

'The one which you have signed with your promotion letter'.

He showed me the contract.

'It is clearly written that you are not going to leave this job for the next 2 years otherwise legal actions will be taken against you'.

He said while I was reading the same.

'What the fudge' my eyes became wide and mouth open.

'Fudge? Hahahahaha what is fudge'

He started laughing like a ravan (devil)

'It is not fudge, it is fuck....F.U.C.K. fuck....what are you a 2 years old kid?'.

I gritted my teeth and my fist was dying to punch his face.

'Ok, so now everything is clear. You have already wasted my precious time. I don't have time to listen to your buts and ifs. Just get started with your work'.

I was getting angry but it was of no use because somewhere I was responsible too for all this. I should have read the papers properly before signing them. I will definitely find some other way.

'Now will you start?' He asked

'Yes sir' I replied in a low tone

'I want my assistant to be energetic and excited for work'

Excited my foot. Huh

'Plus your half-day salary has already been cut off for wasting my 10 minutes' He continued

'Whaaaaat?' I reacted

'Yes, now if you don't want your whole day salary to be reduced then just start working ASAP' he said this is a very high volume

'Kukkad' (rude, khadoos) I muttered

'What? did you said something?' He asked

'No, nothing sir' I fake smiled

'Now assemble these files in their respective stakes and then you can go to your cabin. The rest of the things will be explained to you by Mrs. Verma'.

I was looking at him while he was talking to me

'I know I am irresistible but it is not the time to enjoy this beautiful view' He said while pointing towards himself.

What? Is he serious? What does he think about himself?

'Now move you have just 3 hours to complete the task' he banged his hand on the table.

Kukkad, kukkad, kukkad

I moved immediately towards the pile of files.

Oh God this is too much. It would take a lot of time to understand the files and the stakes they belong to.

Shreya, you don't have time to waste. Start working.

It was 15 minutes over 1:00 PM and I was collecting the unnecessary files from his table when my stomach churned. He stopped doing his work and asked

'Did you farted?'

'What, Noooo' I said

'Than what was that sound'. He asked

'That was my stomach asking for some food'. I said

'Food? Are you hungry?' He asked

'Yes, of course, I am a normal human being. I need food to keep my body working. My stomach didn't get filled with work'. I said sarcastically.

'But it is not lunchtime. So keep your stomach and its voice in control'. He said

I pointed towards the watch which clearly shows that he has wasted my 20 minutes of lunchtime.

'Ok go have some food' he said

'Thank you, sir'

I said and left his cabin

Atharva's POV

She left the cabin for lunch. Like always she was looking super cute in her outfit and even more cute when she was gritting her teeth. My butterfly, all colors suit her.

I don't know why but I wanted her to be with me today. That's why I told her to arrange the files. She was looking very beautiful all confused and endorsed into the work. I was looking at her whenever I got a chance. She is like a bundle of positive vibes.

But I can't do it daily because she is becoming my distraction.

I don't like it when she fires back. She doesn't fear me. I have to something about that. I have to fix her attitude. She doesn't know whom she is messing with. I think I have to show her who I really am.

I left the office to have some food.

When I was passing from the cafeteria I found her sitting with a boy all eating and laughing like a teenage girl.

This boiled my blood.

Is this called a girl with good character?

How could she talk to some fuck boy like this that too on her first day of work here?

This will definitely not go unpunished.

I don't like to share anything that is mine.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So now the devil is getting possessive 😈
