4 : A Very Very Wrong Move.

Aashirya's POV:

Only 15 minutes are left for the lunch break , and I have already completed the study of this file. But still for half an hour , I am just revising it , and checking that I did not miss anything.

I sighed loudly and took the file , and went towards his Cabin.

I knocked on his cabin's door, and got a curt 'come in' .

"Good afternoonsir.

Here I have checked this file and here is its account sheet." I said in a confident professional tone, and kept the file with its account sheets on his desk.

He didn't even glanced at the file and stood up while holding his blazer in his hand.

"We are leaving for the meeting in Stars cafe. Book a private seat for the meeting." He said and I nodded my head with a short 

'yes sir' and followed him outside.

I went in my cabin and pick up my bag and iPad , and quickly made a private reservation by a phone call in the Stars cafe.

I went outside of the office building and see that , he is already sitting in the car , looking outside from his side of window.

The driver open the door for me, to which I smiled and thanked him softly.

The car started and we kept sitting silently. But it was quite , no actually it was very awkward here.

"Reservation got done?" He asked to break the awkward silence , I guess....

I cleared my throat before opening my mouth.

"Yes sir, it's done." I replied shortly and again we fell in an awkward silence.

He started working on his phone, while I kept staring out from the car's window.

Suddenly my breathe got stuck in my throat , and my heart started beating loudly , when he put his warm Palm just above my knees.

"Stop shaking your leg Aashirya." He said while still looking in his phone.

My eyes widden and I stopped the movement of my legs, which I always do whenever I am nervous. 

He didn't move his hand away from my knee , and seriously, I so badly wanted to slap his hands away.

I uncomfortably shifted on my place, in order to give him the indication to remove is his hand, but still all got in vain. 

I softly put my hand over his , and tried to take it off from my knees.

Suddenly his eyes snapped towards me , and I gulped looking at him. He also withdraw his hand away and I sighed in relief.

Automatically my hand directly went above my heart and I started patting it. I looked towards him when I heard his manly chuckle.

Heat cripped to my cheeks , when I realise that he saw me controlling my heart beat.

I cleared my throat and started looking outside completely ignoring him.

At least I tried okay!!

I quickly got out from the car and took some deep breathes , when we finally reached the Stars Cafe.

I waited for him to come out, and within second he was walking ahead of me. We went inside the cafe and a waiter escorted us to our reserved table. 

Our client, Mr.Oberoi with his personal assistant was already waiting for us.

Both parties shook hand with each other and we started the meeting on a good note.

"I really like you ideas Mr.Malhotra , and I will take the pleasure to work with you." Mr.Oberoi said and I smiled at our small victory.

"I am glad that you like our idea Mr.Oberoi. I am looking forward to work with you." Laksh said confidently. And with this both parties shook their hand and we finalize the deal.

I release a long sigh when they finally left the cafe.

"What is my....." Laksh stopped saying further , when we heard a loud grumbling of stomach.

Heat rose to my cheeks and my eyes widden , when I realized that it was my traitor stomach.

He was barely controlling his smile and was looking at his watch.

"What? It was not me, okay...." I said while gulping my own saliva.

"I didn't even said anything !! 

Did I....?" He asked me and smirked.

"I think we should eat something first." He said and lastly smiled, when I was about to say something in my diffence.

I mentally face palmed my self and barely nodded my head, and started looking everywhere but at him.

"You should have told me if you were this much hungry." I said still trying to defend my self.

He looked at me amusingly , but didn't said anything , and shooked his head. We again sat down on our previous seat and started looking at the menu.

We ordered our food and I saw the time, and found that it was 2:30 p.m , and I was really very much faminished till now. 

Even not for once, I looked in his direction, neither did he said anything, for which I was grateful.

God !! why it is so much awkward with him....?

Soon our lunch also arrived and we started eating it silently. It was very first time when I am eating with him all alone. We have did dinner together , but at all those times both of our families were also present with us.

And believe me, eating with him, though all alone, is not a very good experience for me.

Soon we did our lunch and I was taking out money when I saw the waiter already left , who came to give us the bill.

"Why did you paid ?" The question left my mouth before I could stop them.

He looked at me while raising his one perfect eyebrow.

I can never understand how people raise their one eyebrow. 

He did not said anything and stood up while completely ignoring my question and started walking out from the room.

"I could have....."

"What is my next schedule miss Sharma?" He asked while cutting me in the middle of my sentence.

What is his problem??

I scoffed but him his next schedule, which is nothing. As for today this was his last meeting. 

He simply nodded his head and we again went in our office. 

Our returning ride was also silent, but it was not at all awkward like before.

"Bring me a cup of strong coffee." He said dismissing me when we reached on our floor.

"Sure sir. Anything else?" I asked all professionaly to which he just shooked his head negatively. 

I actually ran in my cabin to put my stuffs and then ran towards the office cafeteria , and made a strong black coffee for him.

God... how much he eat? 

I don't even have a space in my stomach for a single drop of water, and here is wants to drink a mug of coffee!!

I took the coffee with me and knocked in his cabin's door.

After several knows I didn't got any answer , so I just thought to put the mug on his desk, and left to my cabin to take rest.

But guess what?

It was a very very very wrong move.....
