Annika sighed in relief after seeing quite a good number of patients. The staff had given her a warm welcome and she was immediately loved by all because of her friendliness. It was lunch time now and Annika was just about to leave for the canteen when her phone pinged with a message from her dear husband.

Hey, baby. Had lunch?

Am I dreaming or Mr. Workaholic Singh Oberoi actually messaged
me while in office?

Very funny. Now answer my question.

I was just about to leave for lunch. What about you, Mr?

Nope. Got a meeting in 10 mins. Had been working on that till now. I guess I'll eat late.

That's a bad habit. I'm calling your lover and asking him to
get your food.

Lover who?

Khanna Ji. Aur kaun?

Looks like you're in a mood to tease me since morning.
You know, there are better ways to tease me! 😉

I can't believe it. I need to tell
Rudra about this now.

What?
Are you crazy, woman?
You'll tell Rudra about our personal chats?

Areh why not? After all it is indeed a surprise to see Mr. Moodless
Singh Oberoi using
emojis.

Oh god. Stop giving me so many names, Anni.
Coming to the point.
When does your work end today?

Umm. 6:30 I guess.

Great! I'll send driver to pick you up. Come to Oberoi Industries. Then we'll leave together.

Is that an order? 🤨

Please, darling.
Happy?

Very. See you, SSO!

😘

Annika couldn't help but blush hearing his endearments, cheapda words and emojis but didn't react so that he doesn't tease her. Especially in between her work. She never felt this ache for anyone before. Only Shivaay Singh Oberoi has the ability to weaken her legs just by his words. She couldn't help but imagine, seeing his last emoji, how would it feel to be kissed senseless by him? How would it feel to be touched by him?

She was lost in her own world when a knock on the door brought her back to reality. It was her assistant, Sayali, who came to call her for lunch. Keeping her wild imaginations behind, she walked to the canteen.

***

Later in the evening, after wrapping up her work, Annika left for his office. Entering inside, she was amazed. The environment itself screamed the power of Shivaay Singh Oberoi when it cones to work.

She walked to the reception and greeted the receptionist who passed her the worst fake smile Annika had ever come across.

R: Yes, Ma'am?

A: I'm here to meet Shivaay.

R: Who?

Annika was confused. The driver himself got her here so it can't obviously be the wrong office. Yet, she replied calmly.

A: Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

R: Do you have an appointment?

A: Umm. No. But he...

The lady in front frowned at her and didn't even let her complete before speaking in a rude manner.

R: Then you can't meet him. Sir doesn't have time for useless people.

Annika frowned at her and replied,

A: Excuse me? Is this how you talk to people when they come here?

R: You don't have to teach me my job. And I know people like you, who come here in the pretence of being from a good family but in reality are nothing but seducers wanting to get in sir's bed.

Everyone was staring their way by now. Annika was shocked hearing her and was about to give her back when a loud shout interrupted her making everyone including her, flinch in fear.

S: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Shivaay came downstairs since the driver informed him that he had dropped Annika in the office. He had been waiting for her in his cabin but when she was taking too much time, he decided to come downstairs himself.

Annika turned to him only to see him in an avatar she never saw before. Eyes red, hands fisted, he looked like he'll hit the receptionist without even caring about anything.

The receptionist, composing herself a bit, spoke when Shivaay came to stand in front of her, beside Annika.

R: S..Sir. It's good you're here. This lady kept on asking to meet you. I taught her the lesson that cheap girls like her...

She couldn't even complete when Shivaay banged his left hand on the reception table and shouted on the top of his voice, making everyone shiver in fear, including Annika.

S: HOW DARE YOU?

By then, even Tej and Shakti came downstairs listening to his voice. Khanna, whom Shivaay had sent out for some work, ran to the spot from the parking itself hearing the commotion.

S: Get out of here. You're fired.

R: B..but sir. I..I was just doing my job.

S: It is not your job, to give anyone you want a character certificate or insulting them. And certainly not the wife of Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

The receptionist was shocked to learn that Annika was his wife while the others started murmuring among themselves regarding the punishment, this devil would put the receptionist through.

S: KHANNA.

K: Ye..yes sir.

S: I want her out of here in the next 5 minutes.

K: Yes sir.

S: Everyone back to work. NOW.

Hearing him everyone resumed their works leaving the spot immediately. Annika held his injured hand and looked at Tej and Shakti, who signed her not to worry. Before she could realise, Shivaay pulled her hand and dragged her towards the elevator.

Reaching his cabin, he didn't even spare a glance at her and started working on his files while she kept on staring at him. Annika could understand how angry he still was seeing his red eyes.

She released a breath and walked out where Shivaay's PA, Mishra was sitting on his desk.

A: Mishra Ji.

M: Yes Ma'am.

A: Can I get a first aid kit, please?

M: Certainly, Ma'am.

He handed her the kit and Annika walked inside with it. She saw that his hand was bleeding but he didn't give a damn and continued working. She walked towards him and pushed his chair a bit away before standing in front of him. He looked everywhere but her.

Sitting on his desk, Annika slowly grabbed his hand and dressed it. After she was done, she said nothing but just stared at him while he kept looking away. Sighing, she spoke,

A: Will you speak something, Shivaay?

He didn't budge. Sighing, she pushed his chair further and settled on his lap, tightly holding his neck. He looked at her surprised and gasped lightly. She said nothing but just caressed his beard.

She hugged him tightly and whispered in his ears,

A: It's over. Now leave this anger.

Shivaay glared at her and spoke,

S: Why didn't you speak up?

Annika frowned and got up before answering,

A: I would've, if you didn't come and shout like that scaring everyone.

Shivaay too got up.

S: What else was I supposed to do? She was calling you whatever she felt like. Bloody bitch.

A: Language.

S: Fuck it, Annika.

Hearing his tone, she understood he is still angry. She decided to be calm and handle him. He walked towards the window, from where the whole city could be seen. Annika walked and stood in front of him.

She held his injured hand and kissed it before hugging him, keeping her head on his chest. Shivaay too hugged her back tight, which helped in calming his anger. Annika raised her head from his chest, still hugging him, to find him looking back at her.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and caressed her face with his right hand. Since, the sun was just about to set, it casted a beautiful orange glow on both their faces. To add to that, the dim light of his cabin made the environment more romantic.

There faces were just inches apart. Annika could feel his breath on her lips. Shivaay looked at her lips and tightened his hold on her waist which resulted in Annika holding his shoulders tight. She closed her eyes and parted her lips which gave Shivaay the sign that she wanted this as much as he did.

He slowly put his lips on hers and sucked her upper lip while she responded back sucking his lower ones. Their first kiss. What started as a slow kiss changed to a desperate one, with time. Annika held his hair and pulled his closer, if it was possible, and kissed him hard. Shivaay in turn, held her face and bit her lips. Tongues fighting, teeth clashing, lips bleeding. After some time, they parted needing to breathe.

They breathed heavily as they looked at each other, blushing. Annika could see his eyes changing colour to a darker shade. She bit her lips understanding the reason behind it. Shivaay couldn't control watching her biting her lips and picked her up in his arms, making her gasp. She held the lapel of his coat as he walked.

He kept her on the couch and looked at her for a moment before slamming his lips back on hers. Annika welcomed his lips with equal fervour and kissed him hard. She tried dominating the kiss, only to fail. She held him tight and roamed her hands in his hair. Long gone was the SSO, who didn't let anyone touch his hair.

They parted and Shivaay immediately attacked her neck with wet kisses while she gasped in delight pulling him closer. He found her sweet spot and bit her neck making her moan out loud, before soothing it with his tongue. Annika tried to kiss his neck in return but failed because of his collar. Failing, she left wet kisses behind his ears making him groan.

He was about to move towards her cleavage from her neck when a loud knock disturbed them. Shivaay closed his eyes and groaned in frustration making Annika chuckle hearing which, Shivaay glared at her. The knock on the door intensified which made him shout in exasperation.

S: WAIT A MINUTE.

He got up and gave a hand to Annika, which she held and got up.

S: I'll check the door. Go and freshen up.

After she went, he muttered to himself,

S: Control SSO.

He sighed and left for the door.
