"This is your interview bro, why you dragging me Charu?" Navya complained, as Charu insisted her to come along for her interview as an alibi, backup help if something happens to her cause of so much scam and crimes happening around the country. Charu was sceptical about how she got forward to straightaway being the P.A with practically zero office experience.

"What if he's some kidnapper or someone from an organ trafficking business kinda smuggler?" Charu asked, yesterday she and her mother watched the true story about it on Crime patrol, on how a guy was fooled with a job offer by a company, that was in real involved in organ selling business, they trick the people by fake job schemes and then murder and sell their organs.

"Arey Charu, I told you to stop watching crime patrol, they are fake stories " Navya gave her a weird glance as they walked.

"9 out of 10 people don't believe in true stories and become the victim as it is" Charu told the statistics.

Navya shoved her with her shoulder annoying,"chup ho jao Anup Soni ki Ma, wait now this is the location where you have to meet your boss"

They stopped at one side of the road beside a photocopy shop and the road was pretty much deserted aside from a sus looking parked black car.

"Was this the actual location?" Navya asked again, taking Charu's mobile from her seeing for herself. Google map showed this place only, but she knew how wrong can google map be at times

"It is, Navya see Sector 23, highway road" Charu showed the message she got from the company.

"Well just message the person back telling you are here," Navya suggested, there were no food stalls or any shop she didn't even have her lunch properly because of this Charu and her sudden desire for doing a job.

"I got the boss's number" Charu said, deadpan.

"Boss right, call him then give me the mobile I will tell him to change the location to McDonald's"

Charu frowned swatting Navya away,"kabhi to think anything aside from food, anyways I am texting the boss telling him, I am here and then we are leaving this place it looks very much like the scene from crime patrol "

"I think someone is pranking with us there's got to be some camera anywhere... you know how any idiot is becoming a youtuber" Navya looked around for the hidden camera, meanwhile Charu texted the boss.

Hello, I have reached the location for the interview, I have been forwarded for the PAs job for Profinity company. I can't find your office can you send me the correct address? -boss-

She deleted boss, it would be too early to call him that

Shreyansh read the message, he glanced at the rearview of his car. He indeed spotted two girls at some distance on the highway road.

He didn't have the time to take a formal interview at the office and all, he had to head to a meeting after getting the sheets prepared. Since, Siya got the fresher she must be capable enough to prepare a basic excel sheet why waste time in introduction and just get to work.

He texted back quickly.

𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫

"What the hell! He is saying to get in the car!?" Charu stared at that car a few metres away and freaked out

"Well this is interesting, so should we like ..get moving? hey Charu back to the earth" Navya patted on Charu's cheek who remained stupor in fear

"Navya call uber, we should run away from here as fast as possible, this is exactly what happened in crime patrol!"

"Arey yar you are getting scared for no reason, these kinda things happen it is pretty normal nowadays, my cousin Diksha remember? she told me people on tinder are pretty forward they are straight to work, get in the car-

"What the hell are you speaking Navya! This is my job interview not a tinder match-wait why is he moving his car backwards!"

Shreyansh sighed looking at his watch, that girl was taking all the time in the world, he decided to reach where she stood moving the car back, he rolled the glass of the window down while the two girls were pushing and shouting at each other. He stared at them with a blank face as their backs were turned to him.

Navya held Charu's shoulders who was going to runaway as quickly as possible
"Charu listen to me this is the real world, wake up to reality you are not Anup Soni!"

"Navya shut up!! You are an idiot you will get us killed, he will kidnap us and kill us with a screwdriver and then sell our organs you think this is all a joke!"

Shreyansh cleared his throat,"sorry for interrupting but who is" he looked at the CV pdf on his mobile,"Charu Agarwal among you both?"

Charu stepped away and turned to look at the guy speaking from the suspicious car stood so near them

Chiseled face, with spectacles on arrogant nose

"You!" Charu said recognising, "Chashmish"

Shreyansh raised his brows, surprised seeing her, the girl with big and interesting earrings today she wore sunflower shaped, "third class, hello your name is Charu?"

Charu's face turned warm for weird reasons as he said her name, she consciously settled her hair and her kurti,
"Yeah...how do you know me? and what are you- wait a moment- are you" her eyes turned round, everything clicking in place." You are the driver? my
would- be boss sent you to get me!"

Shreyansh smiled, amused,"sorry for the disappointment but I am your would-be boss, Get in the car Miss Agarwal we have a lot of work to do"

"Well now, I wish it were a crime patrol episode" Charu muttered so displeased at the turn of the events

••

Navya was dropped at McDonald's where she called Isha cause she was bored and didn't want to eat alone, it was anyways 5 minutes walk from Isha's home. After checking all that Shreyansh said was legit and he was Charu's boss she then asked her to drop, actually Charu kicked her out of the car, Navya couldn't stop laughing seeing Charu's sullen face as Shreyansh shot orders her way.

He was one of Advik's friends, Navya remembered, us girls were cursed that our ways were continuously bumping into those boys. Navya thought.

At least, Shreyansh wasn't like Advik pompous and immature rather he was just work oriented and well quite....boring, Charu was safe minus the ordering she sure wouldn't like that much.

Isha walked in at Navya's booth.

"Charu got her first job and Shreyansh is her boss" Navya said immediately then took a bite into her aloo tikki burger.

Isha made a face as Navya stuffed her mouth and sat across her and picked a fry,"who is Shreyansh? Oh wait I know he is Yash's friend! He mentioned his name before"

"Yes Advik's also" Navya said quickly, wiping her mouth with the napkin

"Advik huhh" Isha tried to tease, "your Advik connection is of no use, you couldn't even tell me where Yash was"

"My connection? Whole Advik is useless. You haven't talked to Yash?"

"No I haven't, I will call him later maybe" Isha said looking away, didn't want to admit, how Yash just left her messages on seen.
Well, she deserved it but it did make her feel bad. She never thought Yash to be spiteful or you know.... just being this upset with her. She wanted to ignore all this stuff and focus on different meaningful stuff but she couldn't shake off the feeling of this abrupt halt in her and Yash's relationship. They talked everyday, it felt so normal before and now it felt so weird without hearing anything from him

"Okay, if you need my help just say the word, I will lift him off from his house for you" Navya joked

"Ohh such a gangsta you are" Isha smiled, "what is Charu doing?"

"Working or what Anyway Isha I have such good news... I got an invitation from Divesh you know the guy who always saves the corn samosa for me in the canteen-

"Yeah the one from whose plate you always pick it, so he started getting two just so to save his from you" Isha corrected

"Whatever, Focus Isha I am telling you something important and you are trying to act smart by stating useless things -

"I am smart" Isha pouted

"Okay you are Einstein, go I am not inviting you to the party now, you are being too annoying"

"What? Party? my first college party where? okay, I am sorry I am dumb nerd"

"Exactly, so he has invited me tonight it will be a college party obviously, pretty much everyone will be there and I said I will bring my friends and he said okay"

Isha clapped happily,
"Wow that's nice at what time? let me tell my mother"

Navya snatched Isha's mobile, "it will go all night what are you going to tell your mother? You are going to the party taking expensive liquor bottles from your shelf and there will be boys, all hormonal drunk boys are you crazy Isha!?"

"Wait a second Why will I bring liquor bottles??"

Navya grinned,"you think they are your Chacha's ladke I got him agree telling my rich friend will bring her father's brand Liquor collection"

"How is this even an invite then?" Isha narrowed her eyes at Navya

"Nothing comes for free Isha, don't make that face 5-6 bottles won't even get noticed"

Isha gasped
"5-6!"

"It's less, I know make it 10 at least"

"Shut up, Navya I am not going!"

"But you want to" Navya pouted like Isha, offering her a fry as peace offering

Isha snatched it off huffing,"you are cunning, just like Advik surely made for each other"

"Don't say yuck things,I will puke here" Navya made a gagging face.

"Type this data down I shared on the sheet, alright" Shreyansh said, side glancing at Charu on the passenger seat with the laptop on her lap and a perpetual frown marked on her face.

"I can't believe you are the boss," she said for the fifth time, he was very young to be running a company and too arrogant to be given such power.

"Believe it or not that's the fact, now quit wasting time get to work "

"You didn't take my interview "Charu reminded, so unprofessional.

"Not needed, your CV says you have one year experience" Shreyansh replied while driving to the office .

That was a lie, among other things stated on her CV. She only had one week experience in the sales department, her cousin was ill so she did her work from home. Charu thought

"Of the last column data take out the PMT for it and also prepare the charts, the revise everything for the ppt in the meeting" Shreyansh instructed

Charu stared at him dumbly, "let me open the excel first,"

Shreyansh sighed,"one thing Miss Agarwal, time is money I don't want you to be this lethargic and lost. Be quick and vigilant, if you are going to work for me and also from tomorrow dress formally you are attending the board meeting not Jagrata"

Charu blushed to the root of her hair with embarrassment, she there and then decided she would quit and this was the last time, she was seeing this control freak.

"And your salary is 25000 per month, meals on the company if it includes working hours" Shreyansh told parking the car on reaching the profinity company glass building.

"25000!?" Charu gasped in shock. It was a lot for a fresher.

"Yes, it will increase after a month with work experience of course"

"Increase!?" Charu decided maybe one month won't hurt, "it's not a 9 to 5 job right?" she confirmed it first

"No, you said part time job and we both are students Miss Agarwal, studying in the same university plus point, easy for us to work"

"Mister- um" What was his surname

"Boss" Shreyansh provided concealing his amusement,"or sir"

"Nope, I will not call you boss "

"That's not how it works, you work for me you call me boss"

Charu glowered at him, he opened her side door and watched her down with folded arms with a smirk.

Charu asked with a fake polite smile
"How much from the salary would be detected if I don't call you that?"

"Half of your salary"

"Got it, boss" Charu immediately said.

Shreyansh turned around with a soft chuckle, well this was gonna be interesting.
