4 Boss and PA
Part 4 Boss and PA
Arnav was excited, seeing Khushi in his company. At the same time, he was nervous and scared as well. What if she leaves the office after knowing who the new Boss is? There is a chance to it. She may think Arnav will revenge her for insulting him by handing over him to the police. She tried to hit him with pepper spray. Those thoughts may make her think in the wrong way. He should not let it happen. He should not miss the girl who has a positive attitude. He has to console her. he should give her the assurance that he won't insult her. Arnav thought. He was like that. He won't mind bending down if he was wrong. After analyzing the issue, he thought, asking for an autograph from a girl is not the right approach. He wanted to keep good and positive people around him. Even Mr. Sethy said good about Aman and Khushi. Aman looks like an easy-going guy. But, Khushi was a little... correction, very tough nut. It doesn't mean he should give up on her. There is nothing to wonder if Arnav is so simple. He is an orphan. The life he led taught him to be simple to good people. He needed good people for himself. He was not ready to miss anyone... that's all. Arnav made up himself to console Khushi.
Arnav planned how to face Khushi. He stayed back until Aman arranged the hall and gathered everyone. All of them got seated. Sheetal intentionally sat in between Khushi and Lavanya.
"Khushi..." she called her.
Khushi looked at Sheetal.
"What will you do if the new boss of our company asked you to submit your personal details?" she asked.
"I will resign the job," said Khushi simply.
"You know you are so coldblooded woman," she said wearily.
"When you know me very well, why are you questioning me?" Khushi asked.
Sheetal rolled her eyes.
They saw Aman entering the hall. He gestured everyone to be quiet. They saw a young and good-looking man following Aman. Everyone stood in the manner of respecting him. They smiled, seeing their new boss, except one. No need to say who didn't smile seeing him. Of course, it was Khushi. She was shocked to the core, seeing the man. She gulped down hard. It seems she has to resign from the job. No choice... he will make her life hell if she works here. He would be angry with her for handing him to the police. She even tried to use pepper spray on him. He may insult her in front of everyone. It will be better if she leaves the place before he humiliates her. Everyone's attention went to Khushi who started collecting her purse and file. She was supposed to leave the place,
"Khushi... Wait" said Arnav, understanding her intention.
Khushi was shocked to hear her name from him.
"Why are you leaving?" he asked.
"I don't know you would be my new Boss..."
Cutting her,
"So what if I'm your Boss?"
"I don't think we can work together after what happened between us"
"Why can't we work together, Khushi?" he asked her simply making her surprised.
More to her surprise,
"I think we should not bring our personal issue to the office." He said.
Khushi looked at him bewildered.
"My past behavior might be wrong and that made you misunderstand me. I am even ready to apologize to you for my previous behavior" He said repenting.
Khushi was horror-struck. This is not what she expected. She never dreamt of a CEO who could apologize to his staff. She felt bad for being rude to him.
"Trust me, I won't talk about OUR personal issues in the office. You didn't give me a chance to clear my stance but misunderstood me. I don't want to miss an optimistic girl like you, Khushi. Please don't go. We will clear our issue later... only if you are ready. I know it will embarrass you as you would not have expected me to be your new CEO. So, I won't open it up. But... can't we work together forgetting the past happenings?"
According to Khushi, he was talking about their previous meets. But none other than her in the hall knew that. People who were present in the hall got confused. They didn't get anything...
What's the connectivity between Arnav and Khushi? Why did he want to apologize to her? What PAST happening he is talking about? What misunderstanding happened between them? By the way, who is Arnav to Khushi? How does he know she is an optimistic girl? Khushi doesn't even talk to anyone in the office. Then how does he know how optimistic she is?
"Please, be seated, Khushi..." Arnav requested.
Khushi sat silently that was the big blow to everyone whereas Arnav huffed in relief.
"I'm Arnav... your new CEO. I'm new to you except Khushi. (he chuckled) I have been decided to continue with the old staff of this company. Actually, I was wavering to decide whether I should do it or not. That's when I meet a person in a restaurant."
Khushi looked at him perplexed.
"I liked the person's confidence and talks. So, I decided to continue with the old staff because I don't want to be an UNLUCKY BOSS..." Arnav said indirectly.
Everyone frowned as they didn't understand what he was talking about but Khushi. Of course, Arnav told that to Khushi understand. He saw a surprising expression on her face. So, what he said that day was not a lie. He really would have been impressed by her words it seems, Khushi thought.
"What's the reason for this company's downfall?" Arnav asked.
Everyone spared a glance. What can they tell him? How can they tell him about their old Boss? They were silent.
"Ok, I don't want to embarrass you more but I want to know the reason then only we can rectify the previous mistakes. So, take a piece of paper and write it down in it. You don't have to write your name"
All of them started writing. Aman collected all the chits and gave it to Arnav. Taking them from him, Arnav kept them in his coat pocket.
"I decided to continue with you. Still, I want you to prove yourselves. I would like to give you chance to do that. Coming six months will be your proficiency period. I hope, you will work hard and prove yourselves"
"Sure, sir" came from them.
"I don't want you to prove it alone. I need teamwork because nothing can be succeeded ALONE. I experienced it. So, work together... try to be together..."
"Yes, sir"
"Don't be an upper hand to your teammates but friend. Ask them to share their thoughts freely. We don't know who is talented"
"Yes, sir"
"You can say anything if you want"
They nodded no.
"Ok... we have a lot of time to talk. You can communicate with me anytime"
"Thank you, sir"
"I would like to see your last projects"
"Sure sir"
"You can adjourn now"
All of them stood. Arnav waited for Khushi to see what she does. As he expected she waited for everyone to leave. After they left, she came to Arnav. Arnav stood folding his hands smilingly.
"Actually..." she hesitated.
"I'm sorry, Khushi... I realized how idiotic I was to ask for your autograph" he smiled.
"I'm sorry sir..."
"That's ok... being cautious with a stranger is not wrong. I can understand"
Khushi was so touched by his simplicity.
"Thank you, sir"
"I hope there won't be any need for pepper spray anymore," he asked controlling his smile.
Khushi chuckled nodding yes.
"I'm your PA, sir"
"I'm glad about it. You can tell me anything and it will be confidential" he said.
"Actually, I have written my name in the chit in which I wrote the reason of this company's downfall, sir"
"That's impressive," Arnav said impressing.
"Thank you, sir"
She took a step to leave,
"One minute, Khushi"
"yes, sir"
"I hope you won't tell anyone about how you treated me. Workers will name me, Restaurant Rough, Pepper spray Romeo, like that... So, don't tell anyone about what happened between us. Please save my reputation..." he asked making face.
Khushi nodded ok controlling her smile. Arnav smiled and she left the place.
In the meanwhile,
Sheetal was connecting the dots wrongly, urgently.
"I think he is Khushi's husband" she whispered in Lavanya's ear.
Lavanya looked at her horrified because Arnav and Khushi's conversation matched with Sheetal's suspension.
"Then how did he know she is an optimistic girl? He is talking about something that happened between them. What does the word PERSONAL mean? Even we don't know her personally. What was their PAST?" Sheetal arrowed many questions.
"Stop connecting dots without knowing the truth. It's not a good manner to connect a woman with a man who is not related to each other"
"They must be related to each other. Didn't we see, how Khushi stood silently listening to him?"
"Just stop your non-sense" Lavanya left the place.
"Go... I will definitely find the secret between them" Sheetal promised.
To be continued...
