Siddharth's POV

I was checking my emails, when someone knocked at the door. I sighed with irritation. Can't everyone leave me alone for once? But when a beautiful brunette enters, all my irritation vanishes.

Her brown orbs stuck at my face, her sweet wet pink lips parted as she was trying to say something but couldn't. Her tanned skin glowed as sun rays were reaching out to her. Her body shaped perfectly, thin waist, large hips, big breast. She was looking perfect in her white revealing dress as it reached down to her knees. I never saw her before, maybe she was that new girl rhea was talking about.

I was not the only one who was checking out the other. A smirk came on my face as the realization hit me.

"Can you stop staring at me, miss..?" I frowned because I did not know her name. She looked down in embarrassment maybe, and said "Av... Avneet Kaur"

"I am Siddharth Nigam, CEO of this industry. Sit down Avneet Kaur" I kept my tone normal yet demanding.
She finally looked into my eyes at sat on the chair in front of me. She showed me her designs confidently, and they were quite good.

"Hmm, you have great talent. I hope you won't let me down in any way" I appreciated her because she deserved it. Her designs were amazing.

She smiled and said, "Never sir, I will give my best and do everything in support of this industry."

I nodded in response. Suddenly, my phone rang. I got a call from Ivan, one of my loyal member in my mafia group. He never called me for chatting, it must be important. But i couldn't talk to him infront of her. She needs to go.

I quickly gave her the file back and said in a rude tone, "Go now."

Her eyes widened at my rudeness and sudden change in my behavior but she did not say anything like a good girl. She picked her files, said thank you, and looked at me one more time before leaving. A shadow of hurt covered her eyes when I neither looked at her nor responded.

Ohh gosh, she was sensitive as a freaking child. But I don't give a fuck. I called Ivan and he picked it on the first ring.

Avneet's POV

Luka was absolutely right, my boss is an asshole. Yes, I admit that he is good looking and hot but that does not justify his behavior with me.

He literally kicked me out of the office. He is a jerk.

But I don't care. I am here because of my talent and job. I won't focus on these things.

I reached my office and started working on some more designs. I have to work from 8 am to 1 pm we get a break. After that we have to work from 2pm to 5pm.

-----------------------------

As it was 5pm, I was about to leave but Luka stopped me.

"Umm, do you have... a boyfriend?" He scratched his forehead while smiling.

Ohh, I see... I plastered a wide smile on my face and replied, "Nope, I am single."

His eyes glowed in hope while he grinned. "Great. Can we... hang out later?"

Seriously, Luka was a great guy. Everything about him was great but I think it's too quick. Today is my first day, and I just can't go on a date with my partner. It just seems too early.

Having no response from the part of me, clearly gave him an answer.

"Well i meant as friends but it's okay. Sorry for stopping you. Bye avneet, take care" He smiled sadly. I felt bad for him, that is why I hugged him. He was shocked at first. But he too responded back.

Both of us did not move until we heard someone coughing. I jerked away from him when I saw our boss at the door.

My pulse skittered into overdrive.

None of us said anything for a minute. But then sir walked towards me and gave me a paper. I looked at him in confusion.

"You forgot this design in my office." He replied, his voice barely audible.

I inhaled a soft breath for courage. "Thank you"

His eyes were near-black now as he stared at Luka. "Carry on you lovebirds." He turned to leave.

Frustration overrode me as I said, "We are just friends."

He paused for a second, turned his head slowly and looked over his shoulder. But he neither turned nor responded. He just left? Asshole.

Luka was about to say something but I picked my bag and left. It was enough drama for today.

Siddharth's POV

First time I felt bad for behaving coldly. Everyone was used to it. But that brunette's reaction at my behavior was pictured in my brain. Whenever I closed eyes, all I could see was her face, hurt.

I could not even focus on Ivan's emergency either. I told him to handle it and I am sure he will.

I opened my eyes, and searched for my phone on the table, but suddenly my eyes landed on a piece of paper. It was avneet's design. I smiled. Usually, if something like this happens, I call my assistant. But avneet was different... Something about her pulled me towards her.

I was about to knock at the door but the scene inside boiled my blood. She was hugging... Luka. It only took me a sec to remember every detail about him. I could not watch this anymore so I coughed and they stepped back.

I was not JEALOUS. But it's my industry, not a goddamn bar where they can hug, kiss or fuck.

She's not that special. She's just like other girls. Drooling over boys on her first day!
