Aryansh's POV

I went to Mrs. Kaur's desk for asking about tomorrow's meeting before leaving for the home. I noticed that Miss. Sharma was not in her place. For a second, I thought that she might again ask for a sick leave to attend the other party of her friends.

Where's the Miss. Sharma, Mrs. Kaur?

Simran checks her surroundings for Piya but later realises that she sent her to the archives room.

A.S I sent her to the archives room but that's an hour ago. I didn't see her coming back.

When Mrs. Kaur tells me that Miss. Sharma went to the archives room an hour ago but didn't return I feel uneasy and immediately rush towards the room and see it lock.

I open the door and see scared and sobbing Miss. Sharma. It pinched my heart for the unknown reasons on seeing her helpless.

She thought that it was me who locked her to take revenge for the last time but later she realized the mistake. I ignored her apology and left the place but jotted down in my mind to see the CCTV to know which idiot locked her. I may or may not have a talk with that person.

My mood is already off as she will be moving under Ram to assist him as part of her contract. I am not liking this change though I should be happy that I am getting rid of her. But now the thought of not seeing her irks me, Arghhh!

Next Day at the Office

When I reach the office, I see Miss. Sharma talking with Ram. Ram is not only Dad's secretary but also a very good friend of him. They both have been working together for the past many years.

Miss. Sharma looks ecstatic on finding that she doesn't need to work for me. How can she be so happy? She is behaving as if I torture her.

Dad will think that if I can't handle one employee then how can I manage the full company. Her movement will give the wrong impression of my image. I should do something to save my reputation.

Yes, this is the reason why I'm not liking her job change. I take my phone from the pocket to call the HR but see an email from Mrs. Kaur.

Hi A.S

Good Morning

Due to personal reasons, I wouldn't be able to come to the office for a week so would you please approve my leaves for one week.

Thanks,
Mrs. Simran Kaur

Luck is on my side today. So as a generous employer, I accept the leave request without a second thought.

I go to the Dad's floor and inform him about my secretary's emergency leave. I call out Miss. Sharma's name for my assistant, who is watching everything with miserable eyes as someone is sending her to the ocean to fight with the Sharks. She tries to deny but I'm the boss so she is obligated to follow my orders.

Piya's POV

All the happiness of mine is drained by the beast. He didn't stop ordering me to do this or that. He called me multiple times to get the print outs which do not seem to be required at all. I tried taunting him but he took my taunt in a serious manner.

Sir

Yes, Miss. Sharma

May I ask you a question if you don't mind

This time he raises the head from the laptop and gives me the go-ahead signal.

Shall I move into your cabin so that you don't need to stress yourself to call me.

Yes, Miss. Sharma. That is a better idea. You move your belongings to my cabin.

He didn't take a moment to think if I'm using sarcasm on him or not. He just accepted my idiotic suggestion.

People hit their leg to the stone but here I smashed the stone on my leg.

I was very happy when Mr. Ram told me that I wouldn't be working under the beast. I got momentary happiness but my ill-fate continued and I'm still working under the beast.

My situation is like a starving soul who finds the water after staying thirsty in the desert for a week but a sudden sandstorm throws her apart from the water. He is continuously giving me the orders without letting me rest for a minute.

As now I got myself a desk in his cabin due to my own stupidity, he is monitoring my activities. Whenever I try to see the notifications on my phone or try to go out, he raises the head like an ostrich and asks me questions as if I am a detention student in his class.

It's post lunch and I am starving. I decided it's enough now. I had to take the reins in my hand so I could stand and go near his desk.

SIR

I have to remind him that I'm a normal human being who needs the food to run her little body.

Yes, Miss. Sharma

Beast replies while his left eyebrow raises to warn me to watch out my words.

Sir, the lunch time is over and I ... before I can finish the sentence, he interrupts.

Yes, thanks for reminding me Miss. Sharma. Go ahead and get me a sandwich and a cappuccino.

Excuse me

What does he think of himself? Do I look like a waitress to obey the orders?

YES, Miss. SHARMA

His cold voice drops my courage and I timidly reply.

I meant, okay Sir, I'll get the food for you

Also I will get the chance to take a breath without the beast hovering over my neck like a blood sucking dracula but how can he see me happy because what he says the next moment spoils my happy mood.

And one more thing, Miss. Sharma, get something for yourself as well and be quick because I know how much time it will take to get the food from the cafeteria

Yes Sir

I leave the cabin. I thought of asking him if he worked in the cafeteria to know about the time but stopped myself as he is my boss.

*********************

At the Office Cafeteria

Excuse me, 2 packets of veg grilled sandwich and 2 cups of cappuccino please, I ask at the counter.

Madam, you have to be in line and wait for your turn to place the order, the cafeteria woman rudely replies making me more angry.

Sure, I'll go and wait in the line and when Mr. Aryansh Shekhawat questions, why did I get late then please tell him by yourself

I internally smirk seeing the pale office of the woman. What did she think of herself that I will tolerate the rudeness. I'm already tolerating one rude person and now one more. Nope not gonna happen...

I'm Sorry Madam, I didn't know you were placing the order for the Boss. Let me prepare and immediately give it to you.

Sure

I give her a tight smile, which says never mess with me. After some time she handed over the parcels to me. How much, I ask about the cost and open my phone to scan the QR code.

No need, Madam, this will be directly added to the Mr. Shekhawat's account

Hmm, this sounds nice. The beast already deducted my two days salary last month so let me recover it now. He will not care if a few extra bucks charge to his account.

Okay, then give me the chips, cookies, chocolates, and fruit juice bottles. The woman narrows her eyes on my weird request but complies without asking any question, Smart Woman. I collect everything and go back to the Beast's den.

*******************

Knock.. Knock

Come in

I enter upon his permission. I see him putting the desk phone down while saying, okay, thanks. I place the parcel on the desk. He sees the packet and nod his head.

I'm happy because he didn't ask me further questions but as usual my happiness was short lived.

Miss. Sharma I appreciate your advance thinking of getting evening snacks for us but for your information I don't eat chips, cookies, and chocolates but juice bottles are fine.

How?

That's the only question pop out of my mouth because those things I placed in the empty cabin, which is beside this one.

I got a call from the cafeteria saying that they sent my food through a girl and asked me if I needed anything else apart from sandwiches, coffee, chocolates, cookies, chips and juices.

Damn, that evil cafeteria woman. How could she do this. She flopped my plan.

Okay Sir

You can keep the juice bottles in that mini-fridge, He points at the left side corner and starts having the sandwich.

Okay Sir, I go back to get all the items. There is no use to hide them now, huh.

A girl can't enjoy the free food these days. The world became a very bad place.

I stack the juice bottles in the mini-fridge and keep other things on my desk. I start eating my sandwich while glancing at my boss. I saw him smirking once but after some time he turned his chair to the opposite side.

What the! Did he think that I'm eying his food. How rude! After that, I didn't lift my head though I heard the sound of his revolving chair.

After having the food, I start doing my work. I try to forget the unwanted presence of my boss but not all the wishes come true.

Aryansh's POV

I know she tried using the sarcasm but I ignored that piece of information and grabbed the chance of keeping her in front of me. I mean in my cabin so that I can keep an eye to ensure that she doesn't waste her time.

I sent her to the cafeteria to get lunch but she bought everything from the cafeteria due to her anger on me. The cafeteria woman called and gave me the list of items which she brought from my account.

While leaving for the home, I saw the food items except the juice bottles which I intentionally keep in my cabin's mini fridge and bite back my smile. It's refreshing to irritate her.

I thought of taking everything from the covers but didn't want my tummy to be upset due to her cursing.
