NAINA

"Naina, are you done making the draft I asked you to make?"

Puneet sir asked me on the intercom.

"Yes Sir! Just finished it a while ago. I was about to come to give you the draft before I reached there; you already called me. I'll be there in a minute, Sir." I told him while taking my draft.

"No, You don't have to come to my cabin. There has been a call from the high command for you, you go straight to there with your draft."

His words make me confused. What the hell is he talking about?

"Sir, I didn't get you?" I asked him to clear my confusion and I heard him chuckling.

"Naina, Sameer has asked to take the draft directly to him. I have lots of work to do. So bye-bye. And best of luck." He said and cut the call.

"What the heck? Now I have to go to his cabin. As much as I try to stay away from him, Destiny keeps planning to send me to him again and again. Don't know why; when I go in front of him, no word comes out of my mouth. Hence, how I'm going to describe the project to him?"

I started thinking to avoid it but nothing came to my head and unwillingly I made my way to his floor.

I was standing in front of his cabin in dilemma, thinking what should I do?

"What happened why are you standing here?"

Suddenly a voice starlet me and I turn to see who it this? And I found his PA standing in front of me raising her left brow.

"Hi!" I waved my hands with a smile and then something knocked in my brain.

"Nisha, can you hand this file to Sir?" I asked her and she smiled back at me while nodding.

"Yes! Of course! Give it to me." She said and extend her hand towards me for the file. She is a sweetheart. She always is friendly to me.

"Thank you so much, Nisha." I thanked her before handing over the file to her, furthermore scoot from there as fast as I could. I don't want to run into him.

I was doing some work when my intercom rang. I keep that on my ear and hear an ear-piercing sound on that.

I closed my eyes unable to bear the yelling and move the intercom away from my ear. Someone on the other side is in very very angry mode. I put it back in my ear to listen to what the other person wanted to say.

"You idiot. Instead of bringing the file to me why did you send it through Nisha? Did I ask you to do that?"

His anger-filled tone shook me to the core. And I shook my head right to left in response then I realize he can't see me so I use words to express myself.

"No, Sir," I said with my timid heart gulping hard.

"If I didn't need you then why would I even call for you? Dammit!" I heard him complaining to me non-stop. After hearing his altercation I decided to talk to him.

"I sincerely apologize, Sir. It's my fault. I'm very apologetic for what I did in my foolishness. I won't repeat it next time, Sir. And I'll be there in two minutes." I apologize and wait for his reply.

"If you will be one second late then be ready for the consequence. " He threatened me and disconnected.

Huh!

"Why he is in such a hurry? Want it now? Can't be late even for a second. Huhh! Arrogant King."I rolled my eyes thinking about his yelling.

"Oh my Lord! Please save your friend from him." Jointing my palms together I prayed to my Lord while looking up at the ceiling with my closed eyes.

I reached his floor by the stairs as the lift was full. And the cherry on the cake I'm late. From fifteen floors to twenty-five floors using the stairs, how can I reach here in two minutes?

Is that any kind of joke? But how am I going to explain it to him?

"May I come in, Sir." After knocking on his cabin's door I asked for his permission. And I heard his reply as usual in his deep rough voice.

Pushing the door I entered his cabin with my timid heart. I stood there near his desk. But I felt like, I'm some kind of criminal and here he is the judge ready to hang me with the rope for my slight mistake.

For the two months, he has been torturing me like hell. Whenever he gave my team any project he will dig out any small mistake and blessed me with his earful lecture. I cursed the time when I decided to work for him.

At home he is different and here he is beyond my imagination. When, for what he yelled at me I don't know? Why he is always behind me I even don't know?

"Why you didn't do how I ask you to do. Didn't I tell you to make an attached bathroom for two bad rooms?" He again roared at me in rage.

For a moment I flinched hearing his sudden roar. But then I composed myself to face him.

"Sir. you said about the attached bathroom but you didn't mention that each bedroom needs attached bathrooms. And according to the values given, we can't build like that some modifications in measurement have to be done."

"But if we put a common bathroom in between the rooms, then both room members can enter into it. And for convenience, I have planned another bathroom. Near the dining room, there is a common bathroom for all." I explain my draft without stammering and I'm glad for that.

Yippeeeee!

"What about the secret room inside one bedroom?" He asked me but this time in a calm voice. I took a deep breath and released then continued to clear his doubt.

"Sir I think you hadn't looked at the draft unerringly. I added the secret room attached to the closet. As it's a secret room so it should be in a secret place right?" Saying that I looked up to see his reaction. And find his with an awestruck expression.

Seeing his face I wanted to laugh but I controlled myself not to laugh inform of him, making the situation awkward for him.

SoI pressed my lips into a thin line.

"So I made it like this." After clearing his doubt I gave him a wide smile.

My voice brought him back and he maintained his rough and serious facial expression.

"Do you have any more doubt that needed to explain?" I asked him in my sweet tone. And he just shook his head negatively.

Phew! Good for you and as well as for me.

"So, can I go now?" I asked him and he nodded.

So I spun off to go out and walked towards the exit.

"Miss Naina." I heard him calling me from behind. So I turned on my heels to face him.

"From now on, whenever I called for you; be in time. And whenever I asked for any draft from you; you should be here with your work. Don't dare to send it through someone else." With a hard look, he said.

"Why? Do you like to see my face too much?" I asked him with a tight lip smile.
