Prarthana's POV:

After behaving like a junior hilter and lecturing everyone when I thought he left and I could finally eat the Dhokla Sameer's mom made which I was craving as I got only a teeny weeny yet yummy bite today ...I heard Marathe Sir saying...

'Prarthana...Sir wants to discuss about the report you are supposed to submit to him'

I looked at the tempting yellow beauty which kept calling me for a kiss...its like the piece of Dhokla was now seducing me...WTF nothing on earth can stop me from eating this Dhokla today...so I almost ignored Marathe Sir and went to stuff the Dhokla into my mouth but I again head Marathe Sir ..

'Prarthana...you are still here...gooo'

Ughhhhhh!!! I gave a guilty look to Sameer who chuckled. Waving a sad bye to my delicious 'Dhokla' I went to meet the 'Dholak' (drum) of my life who keeps beating me left and right nowadays...I stepped into the lion's den.

I could see him typing something on his laptop... without sparing me a look he said in a hoarse voice...

'Miss Pai...come in...'

I went and stood infront of him. At times he gives me feeling of a criminal and he behaves like a jailor. No wonder he gives me 'Hitler' vibes!!!

Sexy one though...look at that one button open of his shirt...ohhhh his abs I saw a month ago .. uffff!!! How nice would it be if he would always prefer to work from swimming pool...

Nahhh.. that means you'll never be able to work...

But the view of that one naughty button open though...

Stop it Pattu...he made you sacrifice your Dhokla... Fuck... he's not sexy...comeon you can't eat his ab biscuits for breakfast can you???

You wouldn't mind it so much will you ???

Shutup!!!

'Well if you are done drooling at me...can I get your attention here?' he said and I quickly averted my gaze towards him...

'I...I wasn't drooling' I said quickly...

To which he stopped typing and got up from his chair...he walked and stood next to me while still learning towards his table and bent down to my height saying...

'Then what were you looking?"

I swallowed my saliva to comfort my dry throat..

'Its...it's... your shirt button. It's ....it's broken' I said looking elsewhere to which he took a step closer to me and my heart skipped a beat...

'Does that distract you' he said looking into my eyes...I was speechless..he left tracing my face with his eyes...I felt his gaze on my eyes...nose and finally landing on my lips...

I gulped nervously and quickly muttered...
'You .. you called me for discussing the reports Sir' I said while he was still looking at my lips...

'Strawberry...you seem to like it a lot' and I almost choked on my saliva...

'What Sir???' I asked nervously and he quickly said...

'Ohhh... Umm...Strawberry... Yup...ummm...I was thinking of buying strawberries...mom likes them...you want them too?' he asked and I felt his gaze again lingering on my lips...I turned around...now my back was facing him

'You... called me for this???' I asked angrily still regretting of how I left my Dhokla all alone ...

'Yes...I couldn't actually...wait...you...you have an issue if I call you here? I mean obviously no one knows you are my wife so it's expected I have to call you here like this to discuss things which are personal na' he said in an accusing tone...

'Well we can keep personal things at home..here I'm only your employee Sssssir!!!' I stressed and I couldn't hear him say a word ...

Just while I was leaving he told me...
'I need the detailed health check report of the diamonds we exported yesterday in next 4 hours' he said and I was shocked...

'But Sir...testing is still on'

'Not my headache...testing will be done by lunch hour...you will still have 2 more hours to make the report..so gooo...run...this is an order by your boss' he said and I cursed him under my breath...

I checked with Myra who yelled at me saying it's my headache and I must produce report to Rudra Ssssir within 2pm!!!

I was annoyed now!!! I didn't eat my breakfast.. couldn't have the dhokla too and now this deadline...

I sat working... finally managed to get the report done by 2pm and went to submit it to him while I noticed Myra trying to get too close to him while showing him something on his system.

This very minute I wanted to scratch her face with my nails...but I controlled myself...

I cleared my throat saying...
'Ummm Sir actu'

'What the hell Prarthana...I'm talking to Mr Nayak here... who on earth gave you rights to barge in like that' Myra shouted and I was angry now...I was hungry...tired and just doing his job...she was yelling at me and he didn't say a word...

I felt really embarassed and left his cabin.

I came back to my seat. I was so pissed and upset now that I wanted to cry badly. He didn't say a word to Myra??? Wooow and here I was trying to calculate his behavioural changes...

He just doesn't care at all!!!
He never did...
My eyes pooled up thinking about how Myra yelled at me...and how close they were...does he like her???

Just then Sameer opened his tiffin box infront of me saying...
'Your Dhokla .. chal (come on) eating fast'

And for the first time ever in life I didn't want to eat food...
I was feeling terrible...
I was about to convince Sameer while I heard a roar...

'Miss Prarthana... why didn't you give me the report??? You come here to fool around, eat and play is it??. Have some seriousness about your work' he yelled and this time on the floor...

Although there weren't many people on floor right now but the few on floor including Sameer looked at me feeling bad for me...

You won't cry Pattu...you are stronger than this...

'I came to your cabin Sir...but you were too busy with Myra' I said and I saw his gaze on me...

'Ever heard of email? I was busy with Myra on something more important' he said and now I was pissed...

'Sure Sir...I forgot Myra is very important..' I said while tears pooled up in my eyes and I could see his hard expressions softening...

'Ill make sure to never disturb you again Sir... please excuse me...' saying I quickly emailed him the report while he still stood looking at me and not once I lifted my gaze...

Next minute I went to Marathe Sir and said...
'Sir I have a headache... can I take half a day off...you see I'm tired of fooling around' I said and Marathe Sir probably understood the situation and nodded silently...he was a good man unlike others who were heartless.

I didn't wait for him...I just quickly picked my bag and left alone...

I don't need the hitler to drop me ...
I can manage!!!
I will manage!!!
