"Di, Reem aren't you two getting late?" Jai asked.

Yeah! Me and Reem we both work in same company. And she is also my best friend. Reem came to pick me up for office, but we got busy in old albums and photos. Don't know why suddenly mom decided to clean the house. Luckily Jai found this album before throwing all the trash. This photo is very close to my heart.

"Yeah, Avu I totally forgot we have to go to office too. It's all because of you Jai! You started showing your childhood pics." Reem said hitting Jai on his shoulder.

"So what? You were watching it so keenly and not ready to get up until you see all pics." Jai complained.

"I can't help it you were so cute. And I should know about boyfriend's childhood right." Reem said blushing and I gave her teasing look.

Before I could tease her she decided to change the topic. "By the way you didn't answered who was that cutie kissing you?" Reem said. The smile on my face faded listening about him.

"I told yaa! He is No one important. Leave all this we are getting late our boss will eat us alive." I said changing the topic.

"Yeah Right! How can Miss. Perfectionist get late. I wonder if you ever did anything wrong."  Reem said sarcastically.

For Jai, Reem and my family, I am perfectionist. According to them I can't do anything wrong. They can't even imagine how wrong they are! Only if they saw me 5 Years ago, what a bitch I was! I myself am ashamed of myself for hurting so many people. But now only I can do is try my best to help people, make my family proud. Maybe one day I will be able to compensate for what I did!

I sighed!

Me and Reem took off to office. God knows why I am getting these flashbacks today! What the hell is wrong with me. Suddenly today I am remembering those days when he tortured me. In this three years it never happened. In starting it was difficult to get over it, but after that I never remembered him. But today I dreamt about him. What I dream of? Don't ask! It was weird. Everything is weird today! Our ride to office was also oddly silent. I don't know why! Reem never keeps shut, maybe because I was drowning in my own thoughts. God knows what's wrong with me today.

My chain of thoughts broke as we reached office. Everyone in office were whispering about something with each other. It's hella weird. Generally everyone should be working right now! But everyone are discussing and gossiping something. Me and Reem gave each other weird looks.

"Hey Sahil! What's going on in office?" I asked one of my colleagues.

"Oh Hey Avneet! You are late today! Anyways, you know someone bought huge shares of our company and is taking over the Company. The meeting of shareholders is going on in Meeting Room. I have heard this man is very powerful. Everyone are worried about losing their jobs. God knows what will happen!" Sahil said. Me and Reem looked at each other.

"What the bloody hell" Me and Reem shouted together.

"Shh... Shh.. Meeting is over! All shareholders are coming out. Everyone take your seats and start working." Ramu Kaka, one of our Clerk said, who was apparently spying in meeting for employees. Weird Right! That's what happens. Gossiping, Fun, And lot more in our office. All my colleagues are sweethearts. Maybe because our boss is too sweet. Mr. Malhotra is father figure to me. He always supports and appreciates all of his employees. Very few people are lucky enough to get such a good boss.

Me and Reem went to our respective offices. I was still thinking what would have happened in Meeting. I heard a knock! It was Mr. Malhotra.

"Good Morning Mr. Malhotra!" I greeted him warmly.

"Avneet! You are one of my best employees. I am so proud to have you in my company. It was such a pleasure to work with you. You are just like a daughter to me, that's why I personally came here to say you goodbye!" Sir said I could see drops of tears in corner of his eyes. Oh God No! It means that businessman really bought our company!

"Go.. Good.. Good Bye? What do you mean by that Sir?" I almost stuttered.

"Mr. S bought the highest shares in company. He is now 70 percent shareholder and also chairman of this company." He said in almost broken voice. I could feel his pain, he almost ran this company for 20 years. It must be very hard for him.

"But don't worry! He is not going to fire any of the employee, Except- um I am sorry Avneet.!" He said. Sorry! Why?

"Uhm... Why Sir?" I asked hesitantly. OK! It wasn't right time. He is sad! How can I ask him something about me. Stupid Avu!

" He fired you! He said you can only continue working here if you fit the requirements... You don't have enough. You can work as his secretary if you want to continue since you are good employee!" He said in low guilty voice.

Weird! I should meet him once. Yes, I have to meet him. He can't just come, takeover the company and change positions of people, Who is this New Boss? Should I ask Mr. Malhotra? No! He is already sad and asking him won't be good.

My thoughts were broken by knock on door. This time it was Ramu kaka, I indicated him to come in.

"Avneet Ma'am, Mr. S, our new boss called you in his office." He said.

Who the hell is Mr. S? Can't Anyone just take his name or at least surname. I just hope he is good person. Fuck! I don't even know anything about him, how will I work as his secretary. I should talk to him or I should just quit.

"I will come right away." I said to Ramu kaka. And asked permission of Mr. Malhotra.

As I reached to chairman's office, my heart started beating faster and faster. I am hell nervous. Why? I don't know! I am just nervous.

I slightly knock the door of his office, the door was open.

"Good Morning sir!" I said.

I am quite scared as I don't know who my new boss is and why he wanted me to become his secretary. He is creating more and more curiosity in me as he is sitting showing me his back. Why the hell can't he just show his damn face! Control Avneet! Calm down. And why the hell is he not even saying a work. This silence will kill me. Should I say something? Yes I should! Till when I will stand here waiting for him. I am feeling so nervous, I never ever felt like this.

  "Take a sit Miss. Kaur".
He said, there is this depth in his voice and his voice is so much familiar to me. Oh God why am I so nervous! There is definitely something wrong with me.

I took a sit hesitantly. As I waited for him to continue.

Maybe he realized that I sat, he slowly turned around with a mischievous and dark smirk. I didn't even take a second to recognize those hazel orbs. Those hazel orbs are death of me. I still remember how he used to glare at me with them. And that dangerous smirk he has, he is definitely planning to kill me. My heart started beating faster and faster and my whole body started shaking in fear. He smiled seeing this effect on me, he loved seeing me in fear. I can say he already knew I will react this way. I gulped in fear.
The smirk on his face grew bigger.

He stood up from his place coming towards me slowly. But wait! Why am I not able to move. My whole body was freezed. I couldn't move at all! The authority he has on me... It's unbelievable that my body moves according to his will. 

He was so close to me, he stood beside my chair and lean on my neck. I can feel his hot breath on my cheeks. I started shivering. My whole body was numb. I coulf feel that he was enjoying the reaction. He is enjoying seeing me scared, shivering, numb and under his influence.

"Missed me Baby doll?" He whispered just in my ears in his deep husky voice.
