Atharva's POV

I wanted to have some important and private discussion with Raghav(head of the branch in which Shreya currently works) so I left early. I reached there at 10:30 and knocked on the door. Because although I own this branch still there is something called privacy.

To my surprise, she was also there in his cabin probably discussing today's meeting.

When she looked at me she dropped the files, her eyes became wide, and lips were parted. I think she was in shock looking at me.

I put my hands in the pocket of my pant, locked my eyes with her, and tried to intimidate her.

'Good morning sir' Raghav interrupted.

I looked at his side and wished him 'Good morning '.

'What kind of employees do you hire who can't even wish when their boss enters'. I asked him indirectly pointing towards the girl standing in front of me.

'Gggood morning sir' she said stuttering.

'Now Shreya just check all the arrangements of the meeting room. We will join you at 11 AM'. Raghav told her.

'Yes sir'. She said and while leaving the cabin she tripped a little but then recomposed herself.
I think now she is fearing me. Haha. It is going well.

Shreya's POV

No, this can't be true. I was literally running from here to there in the girl's washroom.
You are in your dream Shreya just wake up, wake up. I pinched myself praying that this dream gets discontinue. But when I opened my eyes I was standing in the same place.

Ohh God....please No. I went in front of the mirror. And tried to console me.

Calm down Shreya, Calm down. Don't panic. You are a brave girl, papa's sherni. Why are you even 1 percent fearing him? He cannot do anything wrong to you. He is just the owner of the company Plus that was not your mistake. He bumped into you. And at that time he was not your boss he was just a stranger for you. And that was just a little fight hena?
By now he must have forgotten all that. After all, he is a big man and he has a lot of things to do.

But how will I work under him if I get promoted because I just hate people like him?
No, no, no, no, no I do not want to get a promotion.
But what if he liked my work?
I cannot even ruin it because my companies' reputation depends on it, on me. And Raghav sir has believed none other than me. I cannot disappoint him.
Ohh God, I have got stuck between the dilemma of personal and professional life.

What should I do now?

I took a deep breath.....thought for a minute with a calm mind and came to the conclusion that I will give my best and leave the rest on God.

'You are here for long. Don't you want to give a presentation? Are you fine?'. One of my colleagues asked me.

'Yeah, I am fine'. With that, I left for the meeting room.

I make sure that writing pad, pen, the catalog is available for everyone and are placed at their right place and also checked the projector and set my presentation.

Raghav sir along with him entered the hall and I quickly assembled myself. Everyone took their place and sir indicated me to start the presentation.

I took a deep breath and decided to ignore him during the whole process. I started by giving my introduction and telling a little bit about the company's profile.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Atharva's POV

I listened to her presentation for the first 2-3 minutes with great concentration but then I got so much endorsed by the beauty standing in front of me that I forgot the purpose for which I was here.

I don't have words to describe her beauty.

She is looking like a beautiful lamp in the middle of the dark hall that brightens up everything that comes in its contact.
And her voice is like a chirping bird that soothes one's heart.

The projector light is making her face to glow even more.
Every time she is smiling, she is getting dimple on her left cheek. oh, I want to pull those chubby cheeks.

She was looking like a cute cat with all her hairs tied up in a bun. Some of her fringes were dangling over her forehead that was making her look even more beautiful.

Her eyes are shining like two diamonds because of the moisture and reflection of the light.
She is flaunting her beautiful pair of round eyes by blinking. She is blessed with short but thick eyelashes.
But I am a little bit disappointed because she hasn't given me even one look. Attitude haan.

All of her innocence is tied up in a button named as the nose. Oh..that looks so cute.

Her pink lips look so full and plump and they are continuously doing there work.

She is short but her perfect body could make any boy fall for her.

'Sir, do you want to ask anything?' Raghav asked me bringing me back to my senses.

I got so much lost in her that I didn't even realize that she is done with her presentation and everyone is looking towards me for a response.

'Umm...yeah...I would say that was a nice presentation from an employee like you. By looking at you I didn't expected that you can even present it.'

I think she didn't like the comment. Haha, not my problem. But I was not done yet. She will get the punishment for not looking at me even once during the whole presentation.
I folded my arms and asked her for a question, which I definitely know that she is not aware of.

'So miss Shreya, you covered everything about the company but where was it's the owner. Where was I? I want to hear from you why didn't you included anything about me?'

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Shreya's POV

Thank God, everything went smoothly. I didn't look at his side even for once.
Although I was feeling that he is looking at me very intently but I ignored it.

The presentation was finally over and everyone was looking at him for any comments and he was looking at me like a lost puppy.
Is he normal?

Raghav sir asked him for his response and his comment left me all angry and mad.
He said 'I would say that was a nice presentation from an employee like you. By looking at you I didn't expected that you can even present it.'

What does he mean by employee like me? Are you serious man. I hate you, I just hate you. What does he think of himself? He can't even properly appreciate others. The only thing that he sees is himself.

Then he crossed his arms sat back on the chair and asked me a question that left me blank
'So miss Shreya, you covered everything about the company but where was it's the owner. Where was I? I want to hear from you why didn't you included anything about me?'

I cursed myself that why I never tried to search for the owner.
Shreya tu bhi na ek number ki gadhi hai....jis company may kaam karti hai ussi k owner k baare m nahi pata ( Shreya you are an idiot. You don't know even about the CEO of the firm in which you work)

Should I tell him the truth that the thing that I know about him is that he is a self-centered, chauvinistic, dominating person, and I just hate him.
But my bad luck is that I can't do this.

So I gave him dealing in my style
'Yes sir, I didn't include anything about you knowingly.
Firstly because there is no one sitting in the hall who doesn't know about you.
Secondly, your success story and your achievements can neither be summed up in a 20 slide presentation nor can be explained in 20 minutes. I said this sarcastically.
Thirdly and most importantly the thing that was told to me was that this presentation is about explaining the contribution that our branch has made and not about appreciating or boasting good things about our boss'.
I said the last line out of anger.

I waited for 1 minute when he didn't responded I said
'Thank you, sir, your silence is telling me that I was able to answer your question properly'.

He was left with no words.
I smiled looking directly into his eyes, put one of my eyebrow up in a challenging style and patted myself in the back of my mind.
Good work Shreya

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Atharva's POV

Her answer left me with no words.
I looked around and other meeting members were smiling. Are they smiling on me? I will make them regret and specially her. How can she insult me?

How dare she to say the last line.She has really got the guts to backfire. Doesn't she fear me?
And now she is challenging me too by smiling and directly looking into my eyes.

Oh, girl don't increase your problems otherwise you will regret. You really don't know who I am and what I can do to you. You will not be able to tolerate my bad side.

When I didn't respond she said 'Thank you, sir, your silence is telling me that I was able to answer your questions properly'

Ok so you really want to fight, haan little one?
You have started it, now I will end it.
Soon butterfly very soon. I will catch your wings and then I would see how would you fly. Huh

Just wait and watch
