As he got up, I stood infront of him, crossing my hands against my chest not letting him go yet.

"Move aside." He said not looking at me.

"First, answer me, what is this? why are you doing this?" I refused to move.

"I don't want to talk right now. Move aside." He repeated in a cold tone avoiding to make an eye contact.

"I'll not move unless you answer me. " I said in annoyance.

"Don't force me to touch you then." He said looking straight into my eyes.

"I- Answer me, first. " I hesitated.

"You won't listen to me, don't you?" He said rolling his eyes.

"Please." I said with puppy eyes.

"Fine. What?" He sighed as he couldn't deny your puppy eyes.

"What was that? Why did you deny the deal? You liked it too-" I questioned.

After a pause filling the whole room, he replied.
"I didn't and I didn't wanted to."

I knew he was lying, there was a better reason for this.
"What a liar. Come on." I exclaimed.

"You are just a PA so act like it. Don't tell me what to do. I did what I wanted to." He assured.

"But-" Before I could finish, he went outside the room.

Why was he acting so strange suddenly? Just a PA? What is going on in his head? I sighed and went out of the room as well.

It was lunch time, I went towards my bestfriend, ananya who was excitedly waiting for me to join her.

"Hellooo, beautiful!" She exclaimed as she showed me the burger and coke she bought for me and her from the cafeteria.

"Hii..thanks for this." I smiled.

"So how is your first day going? Also, you managed the meeting for.. uhm uhm sir.. didn't you, Mrs. PA?" She teased me with a mocking smile.

"Yes, I did but stop teas-" I got interrupted as 2 young men who worked here too asked to join us.

"May we join you, ladies?" The guys smiled and greeted us.

"Sure." Ananya replied biting her burger.

"Thank you, beauty. Let me introduce ourselves. I am Shubh Khanna and this is my brother, Rohan Khanna." Shubh smiled.

"Hello." Rohan waved.

"And I'm Ananya Sharma and this is my bestfriend, Mahi Chaudhary." Ananya introduced me to them as I smiled.

"Mahi Chaudhary? Royal name, Mahi." Rohan said politely.

"Thanks." I smiled as I munched on my burger.

"Just met you but I got to say you have got a pretty smile." He said as he looked at me.

"Thank you." I replied.

"She rarely smiles though." Ananya said patting my back.

"Oh and why is that?" Rohan questioned.

"Nothing." I looked at him.

"Whatever might be the reason but not anymore, we will make you smile and laugh the most." He completed.

After that, we got to know each other's lives and family. Ananya and Shubh talked and laughed on their own lame jokes which I rolled my eyes at and silently smiled before putting on my headphones. Rohan kept glancing at me and shifted to sit near me.

"Do you hate their lame jokes as much as I do?" He whispered looking at me.

I chuckled and nodded at him, looking at them.

"You're really beautiful, man." He whispered, almost can't be heard.

"Did you say something?" I plucked out the headphones from my ears as I asked him.

"Nope." He sighed as he smiled.

The lunch time ended and we packed our stuff.

"Hey, um, if you're not busy then can we meet after work? Maybe at the park or wherever you wish?" Rohan stopped and asked me.

"Yes! We are here too! Let's meet at the park!" Ananya and shubh chuckled.

Rohan still looked at me and waited for my answer.

"If they are saying then I dont see a problem to not go." I smiled at them.

"Alright then, meet you after work." He smiled before going back to his desk followed by others.

I was about to go to mine and Rishi's office but then I heard someone calling me.

"Ma'am, sir is calling you inside his office. He asked me to call you, he is looking for you." Said Kriti, a worker here and smiled.

"Oh, I was going there as well. Don't worry, I'll go." I smiled back at her and head to his office.

I knocked on the door and heard him telling me to come in and I went inside and stood infront of his desk.

"Were you looking for me, sir?" I questioned at his expressionless face.

He was playing with a rubix cube and stayed silent.

"Sir? Yes, ma'am. I see the guts to say that after knowing all that." He smirked.

"I- oh i mean- Mr. Rishi" I said when i realised.

He didn't say anything.

"Did you had any work with me, Si- Mr. Rishi?" I questioned as i gulped down the hard thing in my throat.

"Oh, about that.. I do have work with you, quite important." He said as i he stood up from his seat and stood infront of me.

"What is it?" I looked on the ground.

"Look at me when we are talking." He said as he held my chin up making me look at him.

"What is it?" I exclaimed.

"Calm down, butterfly. That's not how you talk to a man who helped you when you needed the most. Do you?" He mocked me.

"So what? What if you helped me? I didn't ask for your help, I wanted to go but you stopped me. Dont take it as an advantage." I yelled.

"Lower your voice. I dont take it as an advantage, I own you as an advantage. That's not the way you talked with him? You were so lovingly and shy and all infront of him. What now? Wow, what a lucky man he is!" he yelled as he clapped his hands mocking me.

"W-What do you mean? Who?" I swallowed.

"Oh please! Cut the act, atleast infront of me! Your lover, Rohan Khanna! Who else?!" He punched the wall beside me in anger.

"Rohan? What did he do?" I questioned in annoyance.

"Why do you care? So much care for that man? Wow, dude!" He yelled.

"Ugh! What has got into you, Rishi?" I exclaimed as i realised that i took his name for the first time instead of 'sir' or 'Mr. '.

"What has got into me? I don't know! I dont know what has gotten into me! That you hate me so much now." He said his voice turning lower at each word.

"Hate you? Who told you that?" I questioned as i went near his seat.

"Yes, you do. I saw how you met this new boyfriend of yours whom you laugh with and become shy with more than you have ever been with me. I- I just couldn'tmake you that happy with me. I'm sorry." He sighed, his voice weak and broken.

"He is not my boyfriend. I'm happy with you more than I'm with anyone else. Please don't be sorry. I laughed and talked to him because I see him as a friend and we have many things in common. I'm sorry I didn't knew you would be this offended." I said, the last words sarcastically. 

"I'm not offended, I just- didn't liked it. Don't be friends with him, please. " He said looking at my eyes.

"Why? Can't I be friends with men? It is not like we have any relation, you are 'just' my boss and I'm 'just' your PA. Get that?" I said repeating the words he earlier said.

"No, we are more than that! You stay with me. I am so close to you." He realised his words of earlier.

"I don't think so. Didn't you said that too?" I questioned.

"I- I meant something else, I was in a bad mood." He lowered his eyes.

"I don't think so." I rolled my eyes.

"You know that too, stop the act. I just want you to not be friends with him." He looked at me.

"And why would I do that?" I asked.

"Because I said so." He confirmed.

"So what?" I questioned.

"What do you want me to do?" He sighed.

"Apologize." I rolled my eyes as I crossed my hands.

"Huh? Apolo- fine, I'm sorry. Please, I'm sorry." He said looking at you.

"Bend down." I confirmed.

"I'm sorry!" He bent down and glared at me.

"Good boy." I chuckled.

"Good boy? What made you say that, butterfly?" He smirked as he got up and stood infront of me.

"Oh, N-Nothing." I swallowed.

"Isn't it my role to say that?" He smirked.

"What?" I chuckled nervously.

"I love that smile of yours. Keep smiling, you look better with that." He smiled.

"But Rohan is my friend and I will keep talking to him. I don't care." I smiled.

"Well wait, I've got an amazing idea. You won't even see him from tomorrow." He smiled back.

"Why? What will you do?" I asked nervously.

"I'll fire him from here so that you never meet him again."  He laughed like a devil.

"No, you won't." I said worried.

"Yes, I will. Then you will see who I really am." He smirked.

"No, you wont, please. Please." I looked up at his eyes.

"Just wait and watch. Though, Why do you care about him so much?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"I don't care about him, dumbo. It's just that what will happen if you fire him? He won't get another job to pay for his family's expenses, right? This might seem very easy for you but it can make his life hell. " I explained as he looked at me.

"Dumbo? What other things will you call me, butterfly? And about that, i can understand but I don't care. How dare he talk to my-" He realised what he was about to say and stopped.

"Your?" I questioned.

"My PA. What else? So yeah, he shouldn't have talked to you and made you giggle. I saw the way he looked at you and whispered things you didn't hear..." he sighed as he finished. 

"How did you see? I didn't saw you anywhere around. And what did he whispered that I didn't hear and you did?" I asked.

"I have my ways. And what he said, I won't tell you that, panda." He chuckled.

"Come on! Tell me what ways?" I asked eagerly.

"I won't tell you that either. " He laughed.

"Ugh, tell me!" I exclaimed in annoyance.

"Nuh-uh." He teased.

"I hate you." I pushed his chest joyfully.

"What if I did this same thing to you?" He said while holding my hand.

"...And you don't hate me, I know that. I'm handsome, charming, and everything. I know you love me."  He teased me.

I became speechless when you understood what he meant and I turned red instantly and stepped back from him. I didn't say anything, I couldn't. 

"What happened, sweetheart? Did I just made you blush?" He whispered in my ear, taking a step towards me.

"N-No. You didn't." I try to hide my face by not looking at him.

"Then why all red?" He teased.

"It's cold, thats why. Nothing else." I replied as I stepped one more step back but stopped as I hit his desk.

"Is it? Because I turned the Air conditioner off a few hours ago." He whispered in my ear as he stepped closer.

He took a step toward me and put his hands on the desk, locking me from escaping. I didn't knew what to do as I stood there as a blushing mess.

"He was right, You really are damn beautiful." He whispered in my ear putting my hair behind my ear which made me blush even more and turn into a red tomato.

"So he said that?" I said trying not to make eye contact with him.

He hummed in response. He bent down towards my neck and inhaled the sweet fruity fragrance of the perfume I was wearing.

"Stop." I blush as I push his hand away jokingly remembering not to touch his chest again.

"Good thing, you didn't touch my chest this time." He teased looking at your torso.

"Tell me, how did you see him and me?" I said to ignore what he just said.

"You know you can't ignore it, darling. Try your best. If it's the question then, I saw it in the CCTV camera." He whispered looking at my eyes.

"You are asking what things I'm calling you And what about the things you are calling me? Princess? Panda? Butterfly? Love? and now Darling? Are you in love with me or what? Have you ever called me by my name? I don't think so ever you did." I said in annoyance.

"I didn't and I won't, that doesn't mean I love you. Why would I fall for my PA, and a girl like you? Nah. Dont waste my time, Ms. Mahi Chaudhary." He said looking straight into my eyes.

He said my name, didnt he? Woah woah. That sounded too perfect coming from his damn mouth. The way he pronounced it, My surname too, Hot. Didn't he just say that he wont take my name then?! this man is something else.

Then I realised what his words meant and ouch, that was hurtful. I never cared if anybody likes me or not, but his response affected me so much that shouldn't be affecting me. What is happening to me? Why does he affects me so much like nobody else does? Its not like I love him, or Do I?
