*Pari Pov*

After my Dad gave me a big shock, my friends asked me questions like 'Why didn't I say anything about it?' or 'Why I am working here?' and many more.

So I told them everything about how my Dad doesn't let me work hard at all in our company. However, I want to have experience, so I applied for jobs at other companies, and I got here.

They all came out of the shock in just a few days, because they know me completely, and they need not treat me any different now.

By the deal, with my Dad, the company has got on the fast track to success. I can definitely feel the rival company having suffocation now.

Each passing day I got a little close to Mr.Stone, of course, there are still our own bickering and little acts of revenge. However, he changed a little and tried mostly not to shout at me without my mistake.

Please don't forget the word 'mostly' because I still got those stupid shouts, but the different thing is not in a lot of major effects.

Today is the sixth month anniversary, no, not for the company but for me. Yeah by today I will complete my sixth month working as a P.A in this company.

My friends are happy about this while other staff in the company is in shock. However, I have to give some treats to all of them.

So at lunchtime I ordered some specials for them, and they enjoyed it a lot. I asked the office boy not to take lunch today for Mr.Stone.

When the lunch break is finished, I prepared two trays with Mr.Stone's and Maam's food. I entered our floor along with my friends, and I gave one tray for Maam.

I took another one and knocked on Mr.Stone's cabin. After hearing his reply, I entered and placed the tray on his table.

He looked at me confused and asked, "Why did you bring it today, Ms.Pari?"

"Actually, today I gave a treat for everyone as I just completed working six months in this company. So I thought of bringing it myself to say the occasion for specials." I replied.

"Wow, six months really?" He asked me shocked.

"Yeah, Mr.Stone!" I replied. It is sad that I still don't know his name. I begged my Dad to tell me, but he didn't budge at all.

I even asked Mr.Stone many times, but he too didn't say. I even promised that I will not call him by his real name but of course, no one listened to me.

I asked him again like every day "What is your real name, Mr.Stone?"

"Ms.Pari, are you not tired of asking me the same question every day? And no I am not going to say anything to you." he replied sighing.

"Nope, I always have this curiosity to know everything so please tell me." I pleaded with him.

"That is not going to happen. Anyway, after two months we are going to have a big ball for celebrating the success with the company." He said.

"Wow! But ball for a party?" I asked him a little unsurely.

"It is the tradition my father started for success parties. We never had one, but now we are on our way to the second place in a few months for sure if we work hard in the same manner." He replied.

I nodded, and he continued saying after looking at me with a different expression which I can't figure out for a few seconds "Everyone must bring their dates compulsory for the ball. It applies to each employee."

"What? But if we don't have one, then?"

"Then they have to just come with anyone with their friend or ask someone else to be their date or something. They need to look after that by themselves." He replied with a hard expression.

"Ok, what should I do about the ball?"

"I am going to give the charge of organizing that to you completely." He said.

I nodded and left his cabin. Can I really do it?

I filled my friends with the information about the ball, and they are very excited.

Suddenly, Sakshi said, "We have to see the date of Mr.Stone, and I think she will be some model or something."

Immediately I felt uneasy thinking of some other girl as Mr.Stone's date. I know he is not some Man whore or something and not dating anyone at present.

However, many girls are ready to be his date for sure. Looking at my uneasy face, they stopped talking and looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"What?" I asked them

"You don't want Mr.Stone to go with someone else right?" Rani asked me.

"Nope, I am not thinking about that at all. Who care's about his date? I am just thinking about something else. I don't care at all." I said, but not sure of my own words and was just rambling.

"You are behaving just like a jealous girlfriend." Rashi stated, and they all laughed.

"Guys, please." I groaned, but they still laughed.

"Ok, I admit it. I don't want him to go with someone else." I said, thinking why should I even hide it from them.

They all have 'I told you so' looks. And I just narrowed my eyes at them.

They are thinking of celebrating this. I mean, don't they have anything else to do other than making me give treats for everything.

"But it doesn't matter because he has to go with someone right." I said.

"How cool it would be if you both go together?" Sakshi said, looking up with a dream face.

"It will never happen because he will never ask me as his date." I said sighing.

"Then why don't you ask him, Pari." Imran said out of nowhere.

We all looked at him, shocked. And I said, "It can't happen. I am just his P.A."

He rolled his eyes dramatically and said "Why not, Pari? You are smart, beautiful and a great person. More than anyone else, you deserve to go with him even though he doesn't deserve to go with you in the same ratio."

"Yeah, Pari just go for it." Rashi said.

"Yes, Ms.Pari just go and ask." We heard another voice coming from a cabin door.

But we were relieved to see that it is Maam and not Mr.Stone, and what is Maam doing here and suggesting this.

"What?" I asked her.

"Before going home today, ask him to be your date. Just try it what is there to lose." She said.

There is one thing I can lose. I may become a laughing stock for him if he rejects me. But I just nodded at her suggestion.

When it was time to leave I gained some courage and entered his cabin.

"You can go home, Ms.Pari." he said not looking at me.

I cleared my throat and asked, "Mr.Stone, do you already have a date for the ball?"

He looked at me narrowing his eyes and replied "No! Why are you asking this, Ms.Pari?"

"Uhmm... will you be my date on that day?" I asked him.

He was shocked would be like a big understatement, but he composed himself and replied "But Ms.Pari you are my P.A."

"What is there to lose Mr.Stone? If you think I am good enough to be your date, then say 'yes' otherwise 'No'." I said. I know I played this weird card, but maybe it is worth it.

He looked at me for a few minutes understanding and said, "You still don't know my name right?"

I nodded, then he continued saying, "I will accept to be your date if you say my name by tomorrow evening."

"Mr.Stone you forgot your name or what! That you are asking me to say it by finding." I replied as if I am clueless about his challenge.

"I know that you understood my words, Ms.Pari. Just find it out." He said.

I nodded and left for home frowning.

After reaching home, I called Dad and asked him to tell me, Mr.Stone's name. I even blackmailed him that I will not talk to him for two months.

But he kept on saying that 'It is not my place to say it'. I am just asking for his name, not some deep dark secrets of his everyone. Please don't forget that!

The next day arrived very fast and the whole day, Mr.Stone gave me a victory look. I still don't know his name. What should I do?

But by afternoon, I even saw the nervousness in his eyes. Oh, so he too wants to go with me. Then why didn't he just accept at that time itself?

In one hour, everyone has to leave, and I have only one choice left. I don't what to lose at all.

I entered Maam's cabin and asked, "Maam, please tell me your brother's name please."

"Ms.Pari, I can't." she replied

"Maam, I am just asking for his name. Why can't you say it? Didn't I ask him to be my date after listening to all of your advices right? So please help me." I told her.

"I can't say directly, but I can give a clue." She said after a few minutes.

"Anything is ok for me." I immediately replied.

I am actually ok with that, because everyone behaving like Mr.Stone is some magician, and I am asking everyone to secrets behind his Magic tricks.

It is not some life-and-death matter, so they shouldn't act like this at all.

Now Maam thought about it for a few seconds and said, "Your name is Pari right. It means Angel isn't it."

Ok, I am confused. Why is she saying this? I know that Pari is meaning for an angel.

She continued saying, "Do you know the Angels actually fly in the Sky!" smirking at me.

I looked confused and then it hit me that she emphasized 'Sky' and sky means... Yes, I got it finally.

"Thank you so much, Maam." I said and left her cabin.

Looking at my big grin, they all understood that I got his name and thought that I was going to his cabin.

But I actually sat at my desk. They looked at me confused and said, "Didn't you get his name?"

"I got it. Its meaning is 'Sky'." I replied.

"And that is?" Rani asked.

"Didn't you get it? It's 'Akaash'." I replied.

They all cheered for me then Sakshi said, "Are you not going to go inside and say that to him?"

"Nope!" I replied.

"What?" came the shock question from them.

"Yeah! The challenge he presented in front of me in not fair in the first place." I said.

They all nodded to that accepting it. So I continued saying, "And he thought himself as some prize with whom, if I have to go just for a ball, I need to complete some challenge. This is not some 'Roadies' show right."

"So what are you going to do?" Rani asked me.

"I am going to teach him another lesson for giving me this stupid challenge. I saw that he became restless from the afternoon, so he too wants to go with me right, and he shouldn't have acted as if he doesn't." I replied.

"And the lesson would be?" Sakshi asked excitedly.

My remaining friends looked at me worried, but after looking at my determination look, they smiled at me.

"Uh! Oh! Mr.Stone shouldn't have played this with you, Pari. Now only God can help him from your evil mind." Imran said.

We all laughed at that statement, and then he asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"Yeah! What is the plan? Please tell us." Rani and Rashi asked.

"Just wait and watch!" I replied, smiling with a plan in my head. And they looked at me pouting for not telling them.  

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm what is she going to do??? and isn't she right for doing something?

Mr.Stone i mean Akaash shouldn't have that much attitude even when a girl directly asked him to be his date.

Dont worry Ms.pari is here to change that only.

i know it is very normal name for Mr.Stone so plz dont mind :)
