Chapter 9

Shaurya's pov 

It's been 12 days since Ms Arnika is working here. 

These days I have never seen her talking with one except me and  Ayaan. She is perfect in her work and most importantly she is very much hardworking and organized. One of her best traits is that she can catch and learn new things very fast. 

Let's not talk about her handwriting…...it's utterly beautiful. 

She just comes in office ,does her work quietly, eats her lunch alone ( if me or Ayaan don't join her somedays) and finishes her work and goes back to her home.

Not only in her work ,but also in making coffee she is perfect.  I really didn't have such nice coffee ever. Honestly, I got addicted to her coffee. 

One thing which I noticed is that she doesn't smile or laugh except the formal smiles. 

She is full of mystery and puzzle. But she is nice.

Arnika's pov

I got ready early in the morning and after having breakfast I left for my office. 

I got in a bus and luckily I got a seat.

It's been 12 days since I am working in the company. The atmosphere is nice and safe. I never felt unsafe there...in front of my boss as well. I am comfortable while working with him.

I heard that he is very flirty and all. But never I have seen him flirting with his employees.

I have seen the ways the girls in our office look at him...they are drooling, lusting after him. It is obvious as he is handsome.

At first I thought maybe he would be an arrogant ass and cold . 

But my perceptions started to change day by day. He patiently made me understand the works, the errors which I have done or something which was difficult for me to understand or do.

He never makes me do overwork or unnecessary things.

If I make a mistake, he politely makes me understand that. 

I have heard before how Bosses make their PAs work as if she is his maid . But Mr Shaurya never did that to me. 

In fact he eats his lunch in the canteen on the days he doesn't bring his lunch and eats with me ,though we don't talk while having lunch. 

He is a chilled out boss but focused and perfect in his work at the same time.

All in one ,he is a nice person but has some anger issues although I haven't been a victim of his anger till now. In fact Ayaan is also nice and helpful. 

I know we can't judge people in just some days but they are genuine guys which I can feel and understand. 

At around 9 am I reached  my office . Well, I am late today. 

I ran towards the lift and got in. 

Entering my floor ,I stood in front of Boss's cabin and knocked. I looked at my watch to see it's 9:05 am.

I heard "come in" and entered preparing myself to face his wrath.

"I am Sorry Sir. I am late today." I said bowing my head down.

Next thing I heard made me shocked.

"It's okay..it happens. You always come on time so your being this little late  can be neglected as I know you are punctual." He said with a smile.

I smiled in relief. 

"Can I get a coffee ,please?" He asked .

"Sure Sir. " I said and ran to make coffee for him.

I gave his coffee and went to my cabin. 

I took his schedule and went to his cabin again.

"Sir ,here is your schedule for today. Today you have meetings with the Vermas. " I said ,giving him the schedule.

"Okay...Thank you. Here are mails which you have to type … and these are the files just check it and give it to me." He said handing me the files. 

"Anything else Sir?" I asked politely. 

"No, you may leave now ." He said and I left.

I went to my cabin and started working. 

I completed my one file and typed the mails and relaxed on the chair.  I looked at the watch to see it was already lunch time.

I went towards the canteen and ordered my food . I waited to collect my order.

"Hello.." I looked at my back to see Dipali was standing there. 

"Hi," I replied .

I took my order and started to walk towards the corner seat.

"Will you mind if I join you?" Dipali asked .

I just can't say no on her face so I nodded.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked .

"Yes," I said.

"Why don't you talk to anyone? I mean you can be our friend. Just because you are PA of our handsome boss doesn't mean that you have to show us your attitude. " Dipali commented.  

I knew that was coming as I have heard them talking behind my back about my attitude problem which I don't have. 

"Well, I want to do friendship or not, it isn't anyone's concern. If you guys think that that's the reason then let it be. I am not concerned about what people say about me. I am doing what I should do. Now please excuse me." I said and left from there.

I clearly saw her face red in anger.

I completed my lunch and went towards the conference room.

I prepared it for the meetings and waited for everyone to come .

After some time everyone started to come. Mr Shaurya's father Mr Shekhar Singh was also present there.

The meeting started. 

I pointed down the important notes.

In the joint project The Vermas were adamant to invest less amount than us but they were demanding the money of profit amount  as equal as us.

They only wanted to  taste success but didn't want to take risk

...They wanted to  safeguard themselves. 

Everyone sat silently. 

Maybe Mr Shaurya has understood that I wanted to say something. 

He asked ,"Do you want to say something Ms Arnika?"

"Yes Sir." I said. He gestured me to say.

"Are you sure Mr Verma that you will not change your decision?" I asked.

"Yes…" he said. 

"Okay,then give us the reason why we should invest more than you?" I asked.

They were tongue tied.

"If you really want to earn money without taking any risk then I am sorry to say but you shouldn't have brought up the topic of the deal. Remember one thing you almost begged Mr Shaurya for this Deal. 

If you are adamant to do it then as per as the rule we can remove your name from the project as your invested amount is as equal as a pinch of salt. 

So please think wisely." I said .

I really said boldly and now I am sure I am going to hear an earful from my boss.

"We will think about the deal and let you know our decision. " Mr Verma said and left with his companions.

As soon as they left ,I said ,"Sorry Sir, I shouldn't have done it." 

Mr Shaurya said ,"No no...you did the correct thing.  They already wanted to go with their plan which has loopholes and they were very adamant about it. It was harmful for the customers as well. So you didn't do anything wrong." 

His Father said ,"I agree….and we are going to cancel the deal as well. 

You have potential ,girl.  Keep going like this. " He smiled and left.

I looked towards Mr Shaurya. 

"You were awesome today…. Don't fear to express yourself during any meeting or anything...just take the clue and say. " he said. 

I smiled in relief and nodded.

The day went unexpectedly well.

Here you go.
