Extremely Sorry for the Late Update...

Pragya's POV

What the hell is happening here? Abhi is my Boss? The man I love is my boss now. I can feel his anger and hatred on me. I can't accept the fact that he hates me. But it was me who pushed him away. It's me who hurt him and I can feel it. When I saw him, all I wanted was to hug him and tell him how much I missed him. How much I longed to be in his embrace. But I can't. He hates me. That is what is running in my mind.

End of POV

Pragya turned towards Abhi's cabin and saw him engrossed in his laptop. A lonely tear escaped from her eyes, seeing him. He looks Handsome. He used to look young when he was in college. Now, he is grown up and looks manly and mature. She gave a sad smile and turned towards her desk.

She heard the message ring sound and opened it. It was from an unknown number.

Like I told you, I'm not paying you to just sit and stare at me. Get me my coffee.

She sighs sadly, seeing his message, and gets up from her place.

Pragya went to the canteen and learned about how to make his special coffee. After making one, she went to his room and knocked on his door.

Abhi: Come in.

Hearing his voice, she went inside and placed the coffee on his table.

Abhi: What took you so long?

Abhi asked in a stern tone without looking at her. Pragya sighs tiredly, hearing him.

Abhi: Don't stand here and waste my time. Go and do your work.

Now she is pissed. All she wants now is to shout at him not to behave like an ass. But she can't. She murmured sorry and went from there.

Pragya went to her seat and got settled. Abhi slowly turned towards her side and saw her wiping her tears and starting to work. Staring at her for a few minutes, he turned to his laptop and started to work.

During Break

Pragya was sitting in the cafeteria, engrossed in thoughts. She feels her heart bleeding every time Abhi shows Cold-shouldered on her. Her heart pricks whenever she sees his hate for her.

Sighing sadly, she took a sip of her coffee.

Pragya?

Pragya heard a familiar voice and turned back. She was surprised to see Vin standing behind her.

Pragya: Vin, what a pleasant surprise. How are you?

Pragya asked, smiling at him.

Vin: I'm fine. May I?

Vin asked, pointing towards the seat next to her and Pragya gestured to him to take the seat. Vin sits down and smiles.

Pragya: You work here?

Vin: Yes, I'm the Head of the HR department.

Pragya: Oh, but I didn't see you when I came here for the interview.

Vin: That's because I didn't come on that date. Today only I got to know that you have got selected as his secretary. Good luck with taming your kadoos boss.

Pragya became silent for a minute.

Vin: Hey, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just, I don't know why you both broke up, but Abhi is not himself after that.

Pragya: I can see that.

Pragya said and sipped the coffee. Hesitantly, she asked.

Pragya: Can you please tell me what happened after we broke up?

Vin: I'm not sure either. He dropped out of college and we lost contact until recently. My family business was going in loss and I was in need of money when Abhi offered me the HR post of this company. He helped me.

But his behavior is what shocked me. He is not himself. He is distancing himself from everyone. He stopped smiling and became a workaholic. He works day and night and whenever he is tense or stressed, he goes to Gym and does a workout for hours. His sleeping pattern is not proper. I tried to talk to him, but he is not ready to listen. If it goes like this, then he would become a psycho one day.

Pragya was shocked to hear Vin. She understood that the breakup affected him a lot.

Vin: I'm telling all this to you because he loved you madly. I don't want to know what happened between you both, but you are the one who can help him.

Pragya felt helpless, hearing Vin. Both of their conversations get broken when Pragya's phone starts to ring. She frowns seeing unknown numbers.

Pragya: Hello

Abhi: Come to my Cabin.

Abhi said and hung up the call and Pragya sighed.

Vin: Speaking of the devil.

Pragya chuckled.

Pragya knocked on his door and heard Abhi's stern voice.

She entered the room and saw him working on his laptop.

Abhi: What took you so long?

Abhi snapped at Pragya, whereas she gave a weird look. It's been hardly two to three minutes since he called her.

Abhi: Answer me, what took you a long time?

Pragya: I was on my break in the ground floor and it would take at least three minutes for me to reach your cabin. That's the reason sir.

Pragya said in a sarcastic tone, losing her cool.

Abhi: Don't talk to me like that.

Pragya: Then don't ask stupid questions.

Pragya said angrily.

Abhi: Mr. Arora, if you have forgotten, I'm your boss and you are not supposed to talk to me like that.

Pragya: What will you do? Will you fire me? I'm ready to get fired.

Pragya said in a challenging tone and Abhi smirks.

Abhi: You forget about the contract my dear.

Pragya cursed under her breath, remembering about the contract. She has to sign a six months contract and if she leaves the job or gets fired, she has to pay compensation of 10 lakhs. Now she can understand why he made her sign it. He wants to torture her to hell.

Abhi came closer to Pragya, making her nervous. He read her eyes, which were filled with pain and helplessness. With a smirk, Abhi went to her ears and whispered. Pragya's breath hitched, feeling his hot breath near her ears.

Abhi: You are stuck with me.

Abhi moved back and looked at her.

Pragya: What is going on in your mind?

Abhi: You will get to know about it when the time comes. It's just the beginning.

Abhi said and went to his chair and sat down.

Abhi: Get me a coffee and correct these files within one hour. We are going to a meeting at 5. Get ready.

Abhi said and Pragya looked at him stunned. Without saying anything, she left from there.

Pragya went into the restroom and burst into tears. She can't resist it anymore. She might be stronger outside, but she is beyond broken inside. She felt helpless. How is she gonna cross the next six months with him?

Abhi and Pragya went to a restaurant where Abhi was having a meeting with foreign delegates.

When they went inside, Pragya saw two foreign men, dressed up in suits.

Abhi: Good Evening Mr. Steven.

Steven: Good evening Mr. Mehra.

Abhi: Please take your seats.

Abhi said, sitting down, whereas Pragya sat beside him, feeling nervous.

Abhi: This is Pragya Arora. My secretary.

Pragya was surprised, seeing Abhi introducing her.

Steven: It's nice meeting you Pragya.

Steven said, offering his hand. Pragya gave her hand for a formal shake. But instead of shaking her hands, Steven kissed her hand, making her shocked.

Abhi's face became hard and stern, seeing it.

Steven: You look beautiful by the way.

Steven said with a flirty smile, whereas Abhi's blood boiled seeing it. He clutched the fork spoon tightly, trying to control his anger.

Pragya gave an uneasy smile and drew her hand away from him.

The discussion started and Abhi was engrossed in the talk with Steve and his secretary. Pragya listened to them carefully and noted the points she thought were valuable.

Steven: It's a pleasure meeting you Mr.Mehra. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Abhi: Thank you.

Steven: It's good to see you Pragya. Try to keep in touch. It's my card.

He said, giving his visiting car to her with a wink. Pragya turned towards Abhi, who was throwing daggers through his eyes on Steven.

When Abhi and Pragya came out of the restaurant after the meeting, it was already dark. Abhi got inside the car, followed by Pragya.

On the Way

Abhi turned towards Pragya and saw her sleeping in the car, resting her head on the seat. He was about to wake her up, but stopped in the middle.

Abhi looked at Pragya keenly. She looked very soft and fragile. Her face was dull and her eyes were puffy. By looking at her face , he could say that she had cried for hours..

His hand slightly caressed her cheek, whereas his eyes held an unspoken emotion.

The car came to a halt, breaking the moment. Abhi shook Pragya to wake her up.

Pragya: What's your problem?

Pragya asked angrily.

Abhi: Get down Ms. Arora. We have reached your home.

Pragya looked around and gasped, seeing her area. Pragya turned towards Abhi with curiosity.

Abhi: It's just a favor. Now get down. Don't waste my time.

Abhi said, waving his hand, making Pragya furious.

Pragya: Kadoos.

Pragya murmured under her breath.

Abhi: What did you say?

Pragya: So sweet of you boss.

Pragya said with a fake smile and got down.

Once Abhi's car left from there, Pragya breathed a sigh of relief.

Pragya: How I'm I gonna spend the next six months with him?
