*Abhay Pov*"Hello?" I lifted the call without glancing at the caller ID as Shruthi is showing me the file important for our project at which we all are already late."I am having an icecream." I heard my wife's voice with excitement."That's great! So, why did you call me?" I asked her nodding at Shruthi when she gestured at our fault point."I just thought to let you know thinking you may accompany me. Everyone left for the lunch break and I am getting bored." She replied making me smile."Just wait for ten more days and your buddy will return from his long honeymoon." I said while Shruthi rolled her eyes."It is not honeymoon trip. It was for a business meeting." Usha defended him."Yeah! For a two day meeting he took his wife along and got the business meeting into fifteen days by reaching the London ten days before." I said this time rolling my eyes and frowned at the project."Bye!" Usha said hanging up and I chuckled placing the phone aside."Did she get upset? You should be ca
*Usha Pov*"Good morning, Sir." I wished him smiling when he reached his cabin while I finished arranging today's reports he needs to verify along with his schedule."Shall I get you coffee, Sir?" I asked, looking at his irritated expression and he finally glanced at me after sitting down."I need to speak with you, Usha." He replied, gesturing the chair and I sat down hoping it is not a huge problem."Do you remember I praised you two days back for choosing a masquerade party and that too with the idea of adding a veil to the mask so that it covers the whole face?" he suddenly asked and I still remember how happy he felt and even specially asked me to order two blue ones exclusively so that he can immediately find his wife."I even ordered the blue ones, Sir. Except Neetha and you, no one will wear that color." I assured him smiling.He sighed, rubbing his forehead before saying, "I know you are his wife, but we are still competitive companies. The ideas can't be shared like this.""
*Raj Pov*I sighed standing at the drinks feeling bored and also disappointed that I can’t spend this valentine’s day with my wife.I planned so much to surprise her at the company party but had to cancel everything because the party got Preponed.I know this is not Usha’s mistake but I had to scold her as already a few board members who want to fight for the power in the company is trying to hint at every meeting on how it is not good to have the wife of the rival company’s CEO as my secretary.What do they know about how efficient she is? And that compliment is not just because she is my friend.I started talking to the guests as this is not just a casual party but this is to show the progress of my company and I found Usha running here and there in a hurry.Why is she hurrying like that? Everything is going fine and even if something goes wrong, then it can be corrected and everything need not be perfect to not leave a chance for a single error.She already tired herself to prepone
*Usha Pov* I looked up without moving my head to see him putting the vermilion on my forehead in concentration and then met my gaze. Oh God! It really happened. We both got married! “I hate you!” I said in a whisper. “As if I am loving you so much here.” He said rolling his eyes. Making me to roll mine and say nothing but ‘copy cat’. I looked up to see my cousin looking at me with feeling proud of herself. “I totally know you guys are going to name your first kid after me.” she said with joy. “Yeah! We are going to kill you first.” We both mumbled at the same time. We both looked at each other and said, “Don’t copy me!” again at the same time. Glaring at each other, I finally turned away saying, “Whatever!” “Yeah, yeah! Whatever!” he said, and we both have these bright fake smiles as we both got up and went to the elders to take the blessings. And do you know what he did? He walked fast making me slip my foot. Well, I didn’t leave it because I pulled the knot which is holdi
*Few Months Back* *Usha Pov* I hugged my pillow tightly and tried to enter into another dream like every day, then I heard the most annoying sound coming from beside me. “Wake Up! You have an interview. Wake Up! You have an interview.” That voice started saying continuously. Who has that stupid voice? I asked in my mind groaning. I mean everyone who is hearing this person’s voice must be killing themselves every day. Wait! Something is certainly wrong here. I opened my eyes to see my purple room with only me inside it. However, again I heard the voice, so I turned to see the sound is actually coming from my phone. Then I remembered that I recorded those statements continuously and set an alarm so that I will get up soon. Then my eyes went wide because I just realized something. “I just hated my own voice just few minutes back.” I said in a whisper and immediately switched off the alarm. Is my voice really that bad? I asked myself and frowned because it must be. Well, I can’t c
*Usha Pov* I shut the door behind me and walked near the table to see the CEO seriously studying the files. I stood there for a few seconds and cleared my throat. Then he was looking at, and I stopped before I started fanning myself. He is ‘The Handsome’ but alas, he is going to be my boss. Of course, if I got selected in this interview. “Ms.Mehta! Please sit down.” He said smiling. His smile is also awesome making me smile back at him. He placed his hand forward for a few seconds, but I didn’t understand so I looked at him confused. When he gestured towards the file in my hands, then I understood and immediately placed it in his hand. “Sorry, sir!” I mumbled, sitting straight. “It’s ok, Ms.Mehta.” He smiled and started studying my file. And then the questions started one after the one continuously. I guess I tried my best to answer them as much as I can, and then I skipped the mistakes, I could do because of the experience I got in previous interviews. “So overall you are goo
*Usha Pov* “Hello?” I asked lifting my phone from Mr.Raj’s secretary. “Usha! Are you still in the café?” she asked worriedly. “I just reached the café. Why?” I asked her opening the café door. “I forgot to bring Mr.Raj’s coffee today. Can you please bring it for me?” she pleaded from the other side. “Pallavi! You are forgetting it for the past one week.” I replied in a serious tone. I mean no one forgets the same thing everyday right. “I know! But tomorrow onwards I will bring it myself.” She mumbled. “Yeah! That tomorrow will never come.” I said, hanging up the phone. I ordered our coffee and stood near the counter. I started checking a few mails here itself, and then I heard someone saying, “Excuse me?” I turned to see the rude person standing behind me. I believe it is wrong to call him like that, so I moved away so that he can give his order. After giving his order, he turned towards me and asked, “Why? Don’t you have any insult to throw at me today?” “Well, I decided t
*Usha Pov* I started checking our presentation for today’s meeting. It has been already lunch time, and I want Mr.Raj to check it before we use it in the meeting. “Finally!” I said at the end page of the presentation. “Yeah, finally! Now will you go and have some lunch?” I heard Pallavi asking standing at the door. “I am not hungry at all. This is my first presentation, and I just hope this will do good.” I replied looking at my system. “Ok, I will go and present this to Mr.Raj so that he will check for any mistakes.” I added and got up with the pendrive. I knocked on his cabin and entered to see him working seriously on something. He looked up when I placed the pen drive on his table. “Sir! The presentation is on this drive. Will you check it for me please?” I asked him smiling. “Ok! I will just correct the mistakes, but I will not adjust it. This is your first one so you need to experience how it is going to work out there. Is it ok?” he asked taking the drive. “Sure sir!”
