Part6 

Arnav was unusually curious about Khushi's decision of joining the job. He couldn't predict her as he didn't know about her. She is not NK's girlfriend. So there is more chance for her to deny the job. She might fight with him not knowing who he is. But, now, after knowing who ASR is, she may not get the courage to join in AR that too as HIS PA.

Arnav reached AR a little earlier. He headed to his cabin casually. He saw a new man wishing him. He nodded his head and went. He doesn't have any idea who the man is. In a few minutes, he heard the knock on the door. He saw the same man entering. Arnav looked at him.

"Good morning, sir"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Arjun. I have been selected as Akash sir's PA, sir. This is my appointment order"

He kept the appointment order on Arnav's table and he signed on it said nothing.

"Thank you, sir"

Arjun left the place taking the appointment order.

Now, Arnav became restless. The person who got second place had assigned as Akash's PA. What about Khushi?

NK rushed inside. Aman got the news of Khushi's joining from him. Aman was indeed surprised. She would not have any idea about ASR he supposed. The matter had spread like a forest fire. The only person who doesn't know about it was Arnav as he was sitting in his cabin.

All the AR staff got bomb shelled when they heard a girl is going to join as ASR's PA, especially the steno of AR, Neha. She couldn't believe that ASR has been appointed a girl as his PA who had been selected as Akash's PA. We can't blame Neha if she wants to be a part of ASR's life. All the girls would think so if she meets a man like Arnav... a good looking and a wealthy young man who is rotating a business world by his fingertip. She is also one of the reasons, Arnav hates girls. He never liked her approaches.

Arnav called Aman.

"Good morning ASR"

"Where is Sihania's file?"

"Sinhania's file? It must be there in your cabin ASR."

"It's not here. Will you give it to me or should I wait until my PA arrives?"

He wants to know whether she will arrive or not.

"No no... ASR. I will check"

"Quick"

Aman disconnected the call not saying whether his PA is coming or not making him restless. Aman knew the file is in Arnav's cabin. He kept it on his table last evening.

"You can just ask me whether Khushi is joining or not, ASR." He smirked while thinking inwardly.

Arnav stood from the seat and looked through the glass wall of his cabin. He shrunk his eyes seeing Khushi Gupta stepping in. For a while, he gulped couldn't believe her entering with a smile. He should agree she has a classy attitude. He supposed.

Aman smiled at Khushi who was wearing a simple cotton churidar and a beautiful smile on her face.

"Good morning Aman"

"Good morning Khushi."

"Tell me, what can I do now?"

"This is your appointment order. You have to get ASR's signature"

"Yup" She turned to go to Arnav's cabin.

"Khushi"

"Haann?"

"All the best"

"Thank you"

She went with the same smile. Aman wondered, there is no nervousness on her face. She looked cool. He ran his eyes and saw everyone's gaze on Khushi. Why not? She is the first girl who is going to deal with ASR directly.

Khushi knocked on the door of Aranv's cabin. She got a stern "COME IN" from Arnav. Getting inside, she only found him typing something on his laptop.

"Good morning, sir." Khushi wished him.

"Take your seat," Arnav said not taking his eyes from the laptop screen.

"That's ok, sir. I will be standing".

"Sit... this is the only day you are going to sit in front of me. Here on, you will never get this chance again" he said pridefully.

Khushi frowned and sat in front of him, not knowing who REAL ASR is. Arnav leaned on the seat, looking at Khushi, rotating a pen.

"What do you think Ms. Gupta; we already met in the worst situation..."

Before he completed, Khushi spoke.

"I heard, Mr. Raizada never mixes the personal and professional matter..."

Arnav got stuck; he didn't expect this kind of answer at all. This girl knows much about him it seems. He questioned her again not answering her question.

"Have you read the clause of the agreement?"

"Yes sir"

"Next six months will be your proficiency period. You shouldn't take even one day leave but you don't need to work on Sunday and Government holidays. You should be before the 10'o clock in the office every day. Even one minute of LATE will be counted as a LOSS OF PAY. At any cost, if you take a leave for one day, two days' salary will get cut. In these six months, there won't be any time limit for working days... I mean it will be 24*7...."

She did cut him.

"24*6.... You said Sunday is a holiday" She smiled.

He looked at her penetrating.

"This is a fashion house, No.1 fashion house. I don't want you to be in the middle-class outfit" He thought he cornered her.

"I thought you select your staff according to their talent. It seems you give heed to outlook than their endowment. And... Sir, I'm not a model of your fashion house but a mere staff. I'm not going to do a catwalk in your fashion shows I suppose" she replied.

Not showing his dissatisfaction, he asked.

"What if I force you to change your outfit"?

"I will resign from my job. Simple"

She said simply shrugging her shoulders.

"It's not simple. You have been signed an agreement with the AR fashion house. You can't quit the job for the next year. You have to complete your proficiency period and should work for AR for six months after your proficiency period"

He said without thinking as there is no such rule in AR.

Khushi got stuck because she didn't see such a clause nor did NK tell her about that. But she already signed the agreement. She can do nothing about it now.

Arnav was reading her face. He smirked understanding what she is thinking. Now, she has to obey his demand. He saw her composed herself.

"What will you do if I don't change my outfit?"

Arnav looked at her shockingly. This girl surely has guts to talk to him like this.

"I'm sure you didn't include any clause about my outfit in the agreement?"

Arnav stunned at her question. He was not sure whether she is asking or mocking.

"No right?"

Arnav started typing again, gulping.

"You can fire me if you don't like my outfit...Sir"

Arnav stopped typing and raised his eyelash towards her, not answering.

"What's my task, sir?"

"Take all the suppliers list of AR of the last five years. I want you to convert it into a database file. You should leave the office only after submitting it." He said while typing.

Khushi nodded yes and left his cabin. Doesn't his last line make sense? Is it that hard to submit the file or what? She supposed.

Creating a database file is not a big deal only if the details are in hand. Arnav knew she can get only the last three years' details. The first two year's details are only HARD COPIES. It takes time to collect all the details from old files and make a database file. She can't do it today itself, he thought. Arnav Singh Riazada was a full swing to disappoint Khushi Gupta unaware of her ability.
