*Kalpana Pov*

"Good morning, Sir." I greeted, walking inside his cabin.

"Good morning, Kalpana." He greeted back checking something in his system.

Does he ever take a rest? He just keeps on working whenever I see him and always comes so early.

"Are you ready?" he asked after a minute, but I just got lost in my thoughts.

It's been one week since he did those... those 'acts' and it feels like I just dreamed. As he is completely normal except for using my name directly.

"Kalpana?" he asked, looking up and I broke out of my thoughts.

"Ready for what, Sir?" I asked him frowning.

"Today I have meeting." He simply replied.

"I know, Sir! I am here to give a brief of the presentation." I mumbled gesturing the notepad.

"You are coming with me, remember?" he asked and then I actually did remembered.

"But..." I mumbled and immediately stopped.

"I will come, Sir." I mumbled, knowing well I can't sit here feeling scared when it is part of my job.

He already gave me so much lenience in this matter and it is not good to take any more of it.

"Good! I asked you to go through the presentation and meeting details every time and give me brief for this day only. Now, you know a clear idea what happened." He said getting up.

"You think of everything, Sir." I commented in a low voice not believing there is such importance behind this little work I am doing all these months.

"I should! Otherwise the whole company will collapse." He said shrugging and smiled at me making me smile back.

I am just sucker for the smiles! I decided as an answer for my returning smile for him.

"Shall we leave?" he asked and I nodded, walking out of the door in a rush remembering the last week scene.

I don't know whom to talk about all this confusion. Taking to Pallavi is out of question and a feeling of guilt is starting whenever I thought of discussing it with Jhanvi as I am not doing it with Pallavi.

"It's okay if you sit behind, Kalpana." He said when I opened the door for passenger seat.

"It's okay, Sir." I mumbled to which he nodded before going back.

"You go and wait for me at the reception. I will be there in a minute." He said the moment we both stepped outside of the car near the hotel entrance.

I nodded and followed his order even though felt a weird feeling and then thought maybe he has to call someone.

"Let's go inside and just observe everything today. And don't forget to remind me if I forget something as you are here for that main thing." He said and at the same time walking towards a conference hall on the corner of the floor.

"Sure, Sir!" I said, rushing behind him with my fast steps.

"Sit here!" he mumbled gesturing the chair and I nodded, sitting down.

"Manohar! You finally got your secretary here. We were thinking you actually don't have one." Suddenly a man commented and there were a few chuckles.

"Maybe I was capable of doing work without over stressing my secretary." That's all he said and everyone jerked as if he created a wall along with a normal expression appearing removing all the laughter.

I glanced at him feeling unsure, but he is busy with giving a read to the file. Well, all that man said was a small joke.

Why is he so grumpy about it and made the atmosphere this thick? Oh god! I always thought the people try to make the atmosphere light. Seems like another point has added to his weird list.

Any thoughts left my brain when he started his presentation and everyone keenly listened to him like some good kids with no angry or any other look.

Aren't they angry at him? I thought still staring at each person's face along with hearing his presentation.

"Did I miss anything?" the question came out of nowhere and everyone turned towards me.

I cleared my throat, keeping my cheeks from warming up when a few caught me staring at them. I turned back towards Sir and nodded before passing him the notepad opening a particular page.

"I did miss this. So, you are actually listening?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and I was a second away from glaring at him.

Them knowing I stared at them is different than putting it out open like this. I nodded, covering my glare and he gave a small smile before finishing the missed point.

"I would like to know the opinions." He added at the end before sitting back in his chair.

And then my shock started with everyone having a positive thought for the work. There were some negative points, but they were normal negatives. It's like the few minutes back scene didn't happen.

"I am with this." The client said and Sir nodded before glancing at the person who commented at the beginning.

"For this project I need a special technology which is present with him. So, we both will be on board, but he will be for this technology part only." Sir suddenly said and I turned to stare at him.

"I am fine with it. I already heard about the way you all do business." Client accepted and stood up to talk to his PA.

"Great presentation, Manohar." They all congratulated him before stepping out of the room while I sat in silence.

"Aren't they going to present?" I asked in a small voice.

"No! If my one had not been good, then they would have given a chance to present and come up with better one after a few days." He replied.

"It's confusing!" I mumbled, standing up following his suit.

"Okay! What I tell you shouldn't be passed all around." He said and I nodded, even though I am behind him.

"The ones that are present are the only ones who can give a quality work in this area. However, each company is special at a specific part compared to other companies. So, the one who is specialized give the presentation when it is needed. If it okay then we have the complete contract otherwise it will go to others. And if they need our help then we will do that specific work." He explained and we reached the car.

"I never saw anything like that in any file until now." I said frowning at his back.

"Because the work I did for these companies will be noted as for these only and not for the client. So, it must have seen like a normal work job." He said shrugging.

"Where is the driver?" I asked looking around.

"Get in!" he replied and walked towards the driver side and got inside.

"Do you want to just stand here?" he asked, rolling down the window.

I shook my head and sat before staring ahead. Why does all this seem so imaginary? I thought, shaking my head.

"Why were they not angry at you, Sir?" I asked not being able to stop myself.

"Angry for what?" he asked frowning.

How typical! I thought, shaking my head, but then explained the situation that occurred at the beginning of the meeting.

"That one? They know me and will not go the lengths of anger. And this is general for us." He said shrugging.

"Great!" I mumbled and thought weird boss have weird competitors.

Right! He doesn't even have any competitors as for his recent explanation. Who the hell is he?

"Will you not congratulate me?" his words brought me out of my thoughts, realizing we reached the company and are in the parking lot.

"Congrats, Sir!" I said forwarding my hand turning towards him and he nodded shaking it with a smile.

"Thank you, Kalpana!" he said still shaking and I tugged my hand, but he didn't reduce his grip making me frown.

He gave a small smile before bending, making me cover my mouth immediately with the other hand and closed my eyes before moving back, but then they opened the next second when I felt the lips at some other place.

I glanced a little down to see his pressing his lips on my wrist and then immediately released it while I stared at him and my wrist still covering my mouth.

"Let's go!" he said, unlocking the doors and stepped outside while I took a few deep breaths before stepping out holding the files and closed the door after which he clicked the lock button on the car key.

"You will be used for these meetings soon and then you will be presenting them yourself." He said while I followed him still in daze.

Why wrist? I mean I am not complaining that it was not on lips, but what is he playing at? Somehow this place seems to be more intimate than lips with me feeling the heart beat at the same place.

And why am I not saying anything? How dare I to give him this lenience to do these things? I thought, feeling angry at myself.

I will tell him in a serious tone! I thought deciding and started climbing the few steps at the entrance and got lost thinking what words I should use.

"Are you listening?" I heard a voice suddenly making me scream and then next thing I know, I am falling down.

I glanced up in shock only to see him staring back at me with shock. I moved a little feeling awkward being on the steps, but then gave a sharp cry when I moved my leg.

"Are you okay?" he asked, rushing towards me and held my shoulders.

I shook my head and felt my eyes rolling back suddenly feeling some weakness. He raised me and then I felt completely dizzy.

"My leg!" I mumbled, not having the energy even say anything or cry in pain again.

"This is all my fault!" that's all I heard and got lost myself in some weird kind of darkness.

I can hear the voices around me, but I am unable to keep my eyes open. Then I felt myself being lifted and then placed somewhere.

"Don't sleep on me, Kalapana." He said and all I wanted to say was I didn't get hurt on my head to stay awake.

"Dammit! I should have been careful." And then his curses started.

"Just make sure she is fine." Then I heard the orders.

"Can you hear me, Miss?" I heard a voice after some time of silence.

I nodded and slowly opened my eyes to see a doctor standing near to me. He smiled and threw the light into the eyes from the torch.

"Okay! Just sometime and you will get an x-ray report." He said and I nodded frowning.

"So soon?" I asked with my croaked voice.

"It was decided it is better to do your first, then having the patients go through disturbance." He replied and then I immediately heard a loud voice.

"What is in the report?" I heard all too familiar voice.

"Let him come inside." He called and then he walked inside along with the nurse who is glaring at him.

"Hmm... it is not broken and like I thought you just got your leg sprained." Doctor said and I nodded.

"All you need to do is stay off leg for two weeks and you have been able to run too." He added before writing something.

"Can I trust you to be staying off the leg or do I have to admit you here?" he asked staring at me.

"I... I will be fine." I replied assuring him.

"I will take care of her." I heard Sir's voice.

"We will tie the band which you can change once a day. It is better to not remove it much thought." Doctor said and started tying the band lifting my leg making me hiss in pain.

"No tablets for the pain?" Sir asked, staring at me.

"You told us she didn't have lunch, Mister. So, it is better she has something before taking this tablet." Nurse said shaking her head at him.

"Thank you, Doctor." I said when he finished.

"Don't forget to not put any pressure on the leg. It will only increase the pain and will take more time to be back to normal." He advice and walked away while Nurse pushed the wheel chair near to me.

"Careful!" Sir, said when nurse helped me to get on to the chair.

"This is my job." She grumbled.

"I am sorry!" I whispered and she nodded.

"I am used to this over protective husbands." She said waving me off.

"He is not..." before I could say anything we reached his car.

"Thank you!" he said, nodding at her and opened the back door.

"Don't say anything!" that's all he said before lifting me up and placed me inside the car and I was busy in opening my mouth in shock and didn't say anything.

"I will buy the chair later." He said like he is talking to himself after getting into the driver seat.

"Address?" he asked and I calmly gave mine.

"It is my fault." He suddenly said.

"No, Sir! It was just an accident." I said, frowning at him, but he just shook his head.

"Just wait for a few minutes. I will bring some food." He said after a few minutes and walked out of the car and came back like he said in a few minutes.

Why is my brain feeling so dizzy? He shouldn't be doing all these right? I thought and moved only to gasp in pain.

"Just a few more minutes and then you can have lunch after which you can take your tablet." He said, assuring me and I couldn't help but smile at his words.

"My phone!" I mumbled remembering I am in no way to go and pick up Sudhir.

"Here!" he immediately pressed it into my hand.

"Jhanvi?" I asked the moment she lifted.

"What is it, Kalpana?" she asked.

"Can you pick up Sudhir too? I can't be there." That's all I said and she accepted before I hung up the call.

"I am feeling sleepy." I suddenly said, opening my eyes a little stopping them from drooping.

"Then go to sleep." He said back.

"Won't I get a concussion now due to imaginary wound to my head?" I asked back, to which I heard a chuckle, which definitely surprised me as I can't believe I countered him like that.

"I should have been careful and then you wouldn't have been in this pain." That's all I heard before drifting off into sleep.
