Piya's POV

YOU, Mr. Beast I mean Mr. Suit, no, beast because the way he's looking at me is not less than a beast who looks at the prey.

Meee...Hiiii....

I give him a sheepish smile with a confused face and hope he shows some mercy on me while inwardly praying to the holy power to either make him forget about the coffee incident or give me the time machine so that I can revert the incident. 

If either of my wishes comes true then I will drink the coffee in my home, especially in my room alone so that I don't spill the coffee on anyone else other than myself.

YES, YOU, coffee thrower, What are you doing here?

It is clear that I'll be a revenue generator for Starbucks in this life. Probably, I will ask for a membership now if they are offering.

I'm here for you

I don't know what made me utter those words because what he said in response embarrassed me. I mean how can he think like that.

WHAT? HOW DARE YOU TO STALK ME AND ENTER MY CABIN WITHOUT THE PERMISSION

EXCUSE ME, STALKER? ME ME..., I asked him while pointing the right hand fingers on myself.

YES, YOU

I am not facing such bad days where I have to stalk him. I feel awful imagining that scenario. These are my inner thoughts because If I had said those words aloud then I surely get bad days.

Nooo, nooo, I don't mean that way, shaking my head from left to right and right to left in negation

He gives me a look asking for an explanation. What does he think of himself to ask an explanation, and there my conscience gives the answer "Your Boss"

I meant, yes, I came here for you and immediately completed my sentence when I saw him angrily coming towards me, I came here because I am hired for work

WORK ? What work? Throwing coffee on people?

Does such type of work exist?

I didn't realize when those words left my mouth. Hey, don't judge me, I'm new to the corporate world and the way he asked me, I thought that there might be such a role but it looks like Mr. Beast does not agree with my opinion.

Who appointed you? Let me call the HR and check which stupid hired you?

Not stupid but intelligent C..

Shut Up

Before I could finish my sentence he cut me off and called the HR. I thought to correct him but let him taste his own medicine because my interview was taken none other than by the CEO of this company. You all might be wondering how I got to know this?

Last week after the interview I surfed the company's website and saw the CEO's face and it matched with the gentleman who helped me. I couldn't believe that I got the chance to talk with the CEO of a company. That is really a very big thing. Not only was my interview taken by the CEO but he also found me eligible to work here.

Seeing his hard expressions I believe that he came to know which idiot hired me. I'm sure that later he will have a word or two with the CEO.

Who hired her Bhai (Brother)? Atharv asked him.

In return he gets a deadly glare from the Beast, poor Atharv. I tried to control my laugh seeing the beast face but at the same time he turned and noticed my mocking smile.

Shitt.. .. shit... Not again

I try to hide myself behind the Simran, but the beast has sharp eyes. 

Hi, A.S how are you today? I already emailed the meeting presentation. Have you checked that?

I appreciate Simran for her bravery. She is not a human but a goddess to me. How well she is handling this beast, poor woman, what difficulties she is facing in her life that she needs to work under a beast. But A.S didn't reply to her. He might be waiting for some sense to kick after calling his boss stupid.

Get out

Three of us looked at each other to understand whom he was ordering but the next moment he cleared our doubt.

I said get out all of you

We all disappeared in a second.

Outside the cabin

Piya, I'm really curious to know who hired you

Atharv asks me though Simran didn't ask anything but I can see her curious expression.

Come here both of you, I bring them closer as if I'm sharing a top secret.

I have been hired by the CEO of this company

I expected some serious expressions on their faces but their reaction is completely opposite. They both are laughing.

What happened to both of you?

Oh my god.. you have been hired by the CEO and bhai (Brother) told him stupid... Lol

His words make me laugh too. Imagining the beast standing like a student in front of the CEO waiting for the punishment is worth watching.

Yes, I can't believe that he called the CEO stupid, when he himself is a stupid bea.. man, I forgot that Atharv is the beast's brother.

Don't you know who our Boss is? Simran asks after composing herself.

Yes, I know he's some big boss in hierarchy but not more than our CEO.

Ohh.. poor.. child he's Aryansh Shekhawat, Managing Director of this company and the next CEO in line

Also, the one and only son of the CEO, Atharv finished the rest of the sentence

WHAT

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

Throughout the day I was afraid of my new boss who is mighty capable of making my day miserable because I not only threw the coffee on his precious suit but also criticized him to his father. But luck is on my side and nothing has happened. Great, isn't it?

I can't believe that I bitched about him to his father. How respectful and humble his father is in spite of being the CEO but his son is an arrogant and an attitude freak. He is busy with the work all day and when needed it is Simran who went to his cabin for assistance.

Apart from that my day was much more productive than yesterday. I get to learn new things from Simran. She is an amazing mentor and I'm lucky to find myself under her guidance. That woman holds a lot of patience while answering my questions and at the same time handling Mr. Bea.. I mean boss's work. I need to stop calling him beast because if I accidentally spill that word in front of him then he will eat me alive.

Piya..

Piya...

PIYA.. 

I jerk backwards on my chair when I see Simran looking at my face

What happened ? Are you okay? I asked her in a concerned tone but how could she be okay, when she has a beast as a boss... no.. no.. not again.

I'm fine but what are you thinking? I'm calling you from the past 5 minutes but it looks like you are into deep thinking. Let's go, its past office hours and A.S also left the office

Cool let's go then and we both left for our home.

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

Aryansh's POV

What the f..K

I see my shirt drenched in coffee. The shirt is a gift from my mother and it is ruined now. I'll kill the person who is responsible for this so I raise my eyes and see an irresponsible girl.

Excuse me

Bloody Idiot

It was your fault too, Mister

The audacity of this girl raises her voice when she can't see where she's going.

My fault ? How dare..... you little piece of...

Hey, I know the curses too. Do you want me to use them? This girl is getting on my nerves. She not only ruined my favorite shirt but now trying to make it appear as my fault.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?, which idiot allowed this stupid girl to enter the office premises.

The girl tried to make excuses but when I heard that she came here for an interview in my company, I decided, that no way this clumsy and manner less girl will work in my vicinity.

I rejected her and told the guards to throw her out. I heard her calling me but didn't care about her rant and went away with a smirk. At that time I had no idea that soon my smirk would disappear.

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

Last week was hectic. Every day, I had numerous meetings, escalations due to target miss and the business is also suffering due to low consumption rate and less per capita expenditure which is generating negligible revenue post COVID. By the time Monday arrived, my energy got drained and I took sick leave.

Aryansh, are you okay now?

In the evening, I came to have tea with my family. You all might be wondering why I live with my family at the age of 29. Usually, men from rich families prefer separate living in a pent house or in a flat but I prefer to stay with my family as they always stand with me. They gave me courage and confidence to fight the past demons.

It's not like I don't have my own personal space. Two years ago I bought a pent house in the city and I go there when I want to cut off myself from everyone and everything.

How are you, Beta (Child)?

Better, Grandma

You want to eat anything? I made your favorite Dhokla

My aunt (Chachi) says. She is very caring and loving towards me like my mother

Nope

I lay my head on her lap like a baby. My parents went to a business dinner, well, my father emotionally manipulated my mother to accompany him as she's fussing over my health.

I'm jealous

Atharv, my cousin, says on seeing his mother and me. Though he is my cousin, I love him like my own brother.

Good, you should be, I replied with a poker face.

Arghh, not fair

He whines for some more time and later goes to his room to finish the college work as he is doing under graduation.

Why don't you take an off tomorrow? 

Grandma suggests but I have pending work to finish so can't take off. I can't tell her the same otherwise she will scold my father and uncle for making me work when I'm not well. My grandparents love me too much and which makes my father and uncle jealous. My Devil side enjoys their jealousy a lot.

No, grandma, I'm all good and if needed I will come back home

I'm much better now without having any idea that my life will be turning upside-down from tomorrow.

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

Next Day at the Office

I reached the office and Atharv joined me to ensure that I safely reached. I told my family that I'm well but who will calm their tension in mind so Atharv was instructed by my aunt to accompany me to the office. I was on a phone call when I heard a familiar voice. I turned around to see the owner of the voice.

I see the coffee-thrower, who ruined my favorite shirt with her coffee last week, standing in my cabin. My blood boils seeing her and she is trying to pretend as if she doesn't remember that incident. This girl has natural talent to make me angry with her stupid replies and attitude of not accepting the mistakes. I hate this type of person.

I cut her off before she started her rant and called the HR.

Hello

Who stupid hired the new intern to my office?

Sir....

I don't have time for your stuttering Mr. Joshi, tell me the name so that I can deal with that person

Sir, Mr. Ajay Shekhawat, the CEO. He hired the new intern

When I came to know the name of the person who hired this trouble-maker, my mood went from bad to worse. I ordered them to get out but none of them understood at first so next time I shouted at all. 

The whole day I stayed in my cabin to avoid seeing the coffee thrower face.
