Happy reading folks....

Point of view: Mahir's POV....

••••••••

All the work that I was assigned by Bela as her personal secretary was too much for someone to do in a day. But me once being a workaholic, I completed the half of the paperwork by 11 pm. It was then when someone knocked the door and I looked up smiling expecting Bela but my smile faltered as soon as I saw that receptionist of our office standing at the door giving me a sly look.

Bitch I am taken.

We are.
- My subconscious said making me roll my eyes.

"It's late. How about we leave and grab a dinner on the way to home.", She said giving a sly wink.

Bro what the fuck?

"However appealing this idea might sound but I am not interested.", I said in a sarcastic tone only to get busy in paperwork again when she made way inside the cabin.

The AUDACITY of this girl though.

"I know it sounds appealing... Just like you.", She said keeping her hand on my shoulder and leaning closer.

Keep your hands off to yourself girl before my wife chops your hands off and feed the pieces to dogs.

"How– how about I give you some appealing idea?", I said stuttering a bit when she was leaning really close.

"What?", She said looking at my lips and I gulped while getting up from my chair.

I stepped ahead only to make her step backward while I was making my way to the door.

As I finally reach the door, she was not out while walking backwards, facing me.

"You are out of my cabin now. Take a cab and go home. And I intend you to know that I am taken, physically, mentally and soulfully by someone. So bye.", I said making her gasp while I shut the door on her face.

I make my way back to my chair only to hear a knock on the door.

This girl.

I turned back and strode towards the door only to open it and find nobody. With a confused state, I was about to shut the door again when I saw a takeaway box resting on the table in front of me.

I step ahead only to find the whole office shut with nobody working here. And then I took the take away only to find 'Benny's' written on it. Bela loves this place. I take not even a single second then to realise that it's Bela who brought this for me.

However you may say you don't care, but you do. Bela. You do.

I woke up with a jerk when my phone started ringing continuously.

I absent-mindedly answered it.

"Mahir are you seriously gonna get paid for sleeping in office? In my cabin. In 5 minutes."

"Good morning to you too Bela. Ouch. Sorry. Ma'am.", I said while smirking with my eyes closed. It is the first time in this month that I am hearing her voice first in the morning.

Before I could expect any reply from her, she hung up on my face.

And that's when I realised that I was actually sleeping in my cabin. It's 7:55 in the morning. And my pending paperwork is already done. May be while doing this all, I slept last night. Thanks to Benny's takeaway brought by Bela, which didn't let me starve.

With this I pushed myself away from the extra comfortable cracked Rolly chair and made my way to the office's washroom. After freshening up myself and after grabbing a coffee for Bela, I entered her cabin exactly at 8:00 am, that is just after 5 minutes.

She looked up at me only to nod lightly to make me keep her coffee there on the table and I did the same.

She was about to drink the coffee when she looked at me for a moment.

She can't resist asking me to have it knowing that I didn't have anything since morning.

Ask me Bela. Ask.

But I frowned when she puts it to her lips. And takes a sip. Without asking me.

I pout at this when she continues drinking without asking.

This is gonna be tougher than expected.

"We have to visit a site today for construction of our new hotel. And as my personal secretary, you will be accompanying me. So you have half an hour. Go home, freshen up and change and meet me at the site. Sending you the location. Now leave.", She said as if I don't even matter to her.

I felt a pang of hurt in my heart but I know I need to get used to it if I want to win her back.

I get inside the car only to get the reaction out of her that I had already expected.

"What the hell? You were supposed to meet me at the site. Not here.", Bela shouted at me when I just smirked.

"Ma'am as a personal secretary I am supposed to stay with you everytime. And that's what I am doing. We will travel together as well from now on.", I explained giving her a high five at the end which she didn't return. I frowned only getting ignored by her.

And with ignore, I seriously mean IGNORE. She started looking outside the window acting like I don't exist at all. But me being me. I started humming to some song to gain her attention. She only glared at me for once before shifting her gaze to 'very interesting' window of her car.

I still remember how clueless and hopeless I was when she left.

I was at my penthouse, drowning into alcohol leaving everything. But it just took a call for me to get my ass up and get into this fight for my love.

A call from Vish.

Flashback....

"Is this what you are doing Mahir? To win bela back? To win her love back?"

"Vish, Bela literally asked me to do the same. To stay away from her. And this time she walked away for her self respect and I won't do anything now only to hurt her again. Clear?", I said smiling with pain quite visible in my eyes when Vish came to meet me after that call.

"Mahir. This is Bela. May be you met and are used to that confident Bela who survives throught it all but that's not it. This is real Bela. Who gets dissapointed. Who expects. Who pushes people away. And hopes them to come back. And she might actually be hoping the same I know this. Mahir please do something I can't see her life that.", She said while holding my hands and giving me a reassuring smile.

"Are you sure Vish? Like.... This won't hurt her? She won't push me away for ever right?"

"No you stupid. She loves you. Now get up you duffer and go win her back.", She said grinning ear to ear.

"Are you her friend or mine?", I said chuckling with tears in my eyes.

"For god sake Mahir, I am nobody's friend right now, I am just a moody pregnant bitch right now who ships 'Behir' and wants them to be together so that I may hand over my baby to you both in future while going with Yuvi on dates.", She said with a horrified look on her face. Typical Vish.

"Okay. I will go and win her back. But how? She won't let me come near her at all after what I did.", My face fell to this thought when even Vish looked sad.

And that's when an idea came.

She won't let me come close. But me being a jerk, I can force myself upon her isn't it? Forcing upon not like the way I did in past only to regret it but forcing upon in a way, like being all toxic and clingy to her because however toxic we might be, with no doubt we can't stay without each other.

Yes.

"Vish? Is there a vacancy?"

"What vacancy?", She gave a look like I just asked her to solve a calculus problem.

"Vacancy near Bela. Anything will do. Her cook, her gardener, her sweeper, her makeup artist, her driver, her maid any damn thing will do... Any vacancy?"

"Her personal assistant!", Vish chimed as soon as she processed my words, before continuing, "Yeah her personal assistant is leaving her job soon and she asked me to hire someone for her having a busy schedule right now."

"So?", I asked with hope.

"So what? You are hired Mr. Mahir Sehgal.", She chuckled and that's when I engulfed her in a tight hug.

Bela I am coming.
