Unedited Chapter! Feel free to point out the mistakes.
Arshita
Humming, I put the clothes in the dryer only to be interrupted by Piya.
"Someone is so chirpy! " She commented. Her busts were placed in one of the stools of the kitchens which was pulled down by her to my washroom to give me company while I washed the piles of clothes.
" I am done being cranky. Chirpy is cool! " I replied happily again. Well toll now I didn't tell her how amazing night I had with him.
Oh! I loved it. I lived it.
One part which was going to make it awkward was that I slept with him in his bed after all we were tied in that dungeon like room. We played it till we got so bored and eyes drooped and asked us to sleep.
Should I tell her to get teased whole my my life?
Well I tell her every time, why not now?
" Tell me now! " She ordered straightening herself.
I shook my head and finding myself a small lamp table, I sat and gave her a dumb smile.
" I like you smiling but now I prefer you open your mouth more. " She said going so cranky.
" He took me to his farmhouse and we played a stupid game. And you know what I loved it. It was amazing. " I went on and on but stopped when her smile widened.
" Keep going Arshu! " She pressed NY cheeks and shook me.
" I liked being with him. I was happy Piya. " I admitted looking away.
" I know and now I am more happy because you finally accepted it. " She said.
" But what will people think? He is my boss. " I said biting my lips.
" Stop with your nonsense! You never cared about these things earlier. You're life, your choices. f**k the world! " She swear.
" You are right. " I smiled thinking about it. Why we think over what people might say or think when they barely give a s**t when we are in mess.
" So is Abeer being sensible man? " I asked biting my lips.
" Not much but he is at least talking to me normally. I am so very angry with him Arshita. " She said walking up to the washing machine and started tapping the top.
" Maybe he needs time. Just give him." I said it hesitantly. Piya could be do aggressive at times to snap me badly too.
" I know and I am trying to give it too but thus head, thus head suggest me to kick his balls. " He said ticking at her head.
" I get it. " I said going over to machine as it buzzed suggesting that it did its job.
" It's late. I must leave now. " She said pouting.
" I will walk you to the door. " I said rubbing my wet hands over my kurta.
" Meet you tomorrow and do your clothes. I will go! " She said stopping me and pointing towards the machine.
" Okay. " I said as I watched her leave.
It took me little time to do my clothes and then I rushed to check on my mails and phone.
There were two mails from him and other journals I enrolled myself in. I opened his mails

Alright copied Mr. p*****t!

Wasn't he doing it from India joining the conference?
I opened the another mail and read.
To,
Arshita Agrawal
Very, Very Personal Secretary
Dear Miss,
I would be delighted if I get to have some sightseeing in that beautiful city. Hope you arrange it well.
From
Armaan Oberoi
Oberoi group of Companies
Sightseeing on business meet?
I took a deep dramatic breath acting as if it was annoying but I couldn't hide the excitement deep down my stomach. I loved his company yesterday night and my expectations began to touch mountains.
It wasn't that I stopped worrying of getting betrayed again but hope of another beautiful ride was taking over that fear. Additionally, Piya was also fueling me.
Maybe we worked.
I smiled before slumping on my pillow and opening my phone.
Twenty missed calls!
What the hell is wrong with you?
My phone was on silent and that's why I couldn't hear him. I thought to call him biting my tongue. What if it was so urgent?
Fifteen texts!
Must have texted the important thing.
I refrained from calling.
What now?
I opened his text.
How are you pretty lady? How was your day without any office people around you?
Dreamy!
I think you are busy to reply. Talk to you later.
Hey Arshi
Are you still busy?
Ping me when available. Hope you care to do so.
I did have but I got late.
Alright! Are you ignoring me?
Better not
God, no replies still. I don't want to call for real. I fear
What you fear?
Great! Do you really live in this century? Who don't keep their phone with them even when they are damn busy. Trust me I am in the mid of the family meet, texting you thus long message.
How could you say that? Yeah I live in this century and I was busy washing my clothes and it takes me hours. I don't have servants like you.
I took a exasperated breth and read the other of hus desperate texts. Yes desperate!
Who would live fifteen messages unless desperate or matter of life and death?
Are you there Miss Arshita Agarwal?
Well I am totally free. My family meet ended just thus second.
Eating my dinner! Care to know what I am eating? P. S Navya cooked. And she is worst cook in the history of cooks.
You are pretty good at making conversation Mr. p*****t.
Phew! Ready to sleep but not unless you reply and STOP IGNORING YOUR BOSS
Really? Boss?
You wouldn't ignore me. You can't. Are you okay?
Pick my calls.
Pick my calls please! Will you?
I laughed at his desperate behaviour. I surely wouldn't have picked his call even if my phone was on general mode if I knew that I would have had fun.
If you don't reply in five minutes I would take it that you are in problem.
Why would I be in any problem.
Tried to call your friends too. No answer. Coming over to your place.
No!
I opened his number and dialled him. A hard knock on my door trembled me and I slapped my head before trying to decide what to do now.
I walked up to the door and yelled, "Who is it?"
"Oh you are good. Great! Why didn't you reply even once?" a loud and harsh shout entered my ear. I never heard his this voice ever.
I bit my lower lip and started to walk mindlessly.
Should I open?
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Oh god!
" Will you let me in? " He yelled again.
" oh god! " I whispered.
" Arshita! I am no danger. Trust me!" He yelled.
Standing at the spot, I took a deep breath, strutted to the door, held the knob and said as I turned the knob," You are a danger."
His angry face was in front of me and I mumbled again, " Very dangerous one."
He frowned and folded his hand on his chest. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and a black pants and a blue sleepers. I looked up at his eyes again which stared me back.
He shook his shoulders, wiggling is eyebrows. I raised my eyebrows mumbling, "What?"
He rolled his eyes and said, " What what?! Why are you so difficult? You are ignoring me and I don't understand what's wrong with me. Can't you give someone a chance?"
What is your problem?
" I wasn't ignoring you. I was washing my clothes of two weeks while chatting with my friend about you, about her love. And I definitely live in this century but you don't check your phone while your hands are wet and you are good conversation, and above all when your phone is on silent to know that someone's worrying a lot, you really can't pick a call even if you want to. "
He gaped at me and raising his hand said," Arshita "
" Wait Mr. Boss. I am not done. And yeah, I am difficult. You would become difficult if you get dumped after a four years of relationship, four f*****g years of relationship to which you gave whole of your life. Maybe you could give yourself easily but I can't. I am not you, so happy, so inspiring and so damn... Whatever. And am I not giving a chance, tell me? " I took a breath.
" Are you?" He asked backing away a bit.
I stepped up to him and yelled again, " Are you? You are asking me now. Am I not easily agreeing to go with you anywhere, your farmhouse. I even slept with you in the same bed when you are my boss and people's have their mouth. How stupid! Wait! Have I reacted bad, acted grouchy when you mailed me as 'Very, Very personal Secretary'? I even opened the door. My fears of getting betrayed is taken over by your stupid and amused and handsome face. "
What the hell am I doing?
I stopped and stared at his shinning eyes and smiling face.
Did I just confess?
" Close your mouth Arshita. You not only opened the door but your heart too. " He chirped putting his hands on his pocket, showing off his biceps.
I gulped and stepped back a bit.
What the hell!
" Now I am closing the door. " I said as I shut the door on his face.
I leaned on the door and pressed my temples nervously.
Oh God!
How will I face him tomorrow?
" Good Night Arshi! " He sang.
Good? It should be 'sleepless Night Arshi!'
" Good Night Arshi! " He sang louder again.
You won't go away without having fun, right?
" Good night! " I yelled back.
" Good Night only? "
" What else you want? " I yelled.
" Good Night dash. Fill that dash Arshi. " He sang. I heard him bang hus head on the door.
I stepped away as if he was banging on me.
What dash?
Oh
OH
OHH
I bit the inside of my cheeks and said," Good night Sir? "
" Please not thus after what all you said. " He banged his head again.
I need time.
" Good Night Armaan! " I said finally.
" Great! Call me by name every time. Even at office if you are giving me a chance, will you? "
" You are nuts! " I yelled stomping over my innocent floor.
" Please! "
" Okay. I think I will. I will try. Good night... ARMAAN. You need to leave now. PLEASE! " I sat on my floor with my head on my knees.
" Good Night!" He sang and I think went away.
That was a hell of a thing!
What happened now?
**
It felt like I was in heaven dreaming of feathers being trailed on my hands and my face. I laughed due to the tingling sensation.
"Rise and shine! " A soft voice registered in my brain.
Let's rise!
I opened my smiling.
Woah! What the hell?!
" What are you doing Piya? " I said staring at the feather she had in her hand.
" Following the orders! " She chirped.
Orders?
" What orders? " I asked rubbing my eyes before stretching.
" Boss said that from today my job is to take you to office and bring back to home so you don't have to take taxi. " She laughed.
" Is he mad? " I yelled.
" No. He is in love. " She chirped sleeping next to me.
" I am talking to him. How can he ask you all of this? " I yelled again searching my phone under the covers.
" Where is my phone? " I mumbled picking my pillow and putting it on the other side.
" Can't you see my happy? There are perks. " She sat up urgently.
" What perks in listening to this s**t? It's unbelievable. Who does it? " I slammed her head.
" A lot. I could be late. I could make excuses that you wanted to go shopping and so I couldn't do my work. Or my car broke down. And I could hear his sexy voice. " She laid again.
Sexy voice?
" Piya! " I warned.
" Is it for saying sexy voice or defending to his orders?" She teased.
Of course, for saying Sexy voice.
I remained silent to let her tease me some more. "Oh for saying sexy voice. Someone's jealous, huh?"
"Piya! " I said hitting her with pillow.
" Okay. Okay. Go get ready. " She defended and I laughing rushed to washroom.
All the time, I hummed while I bathed and changed into one of my sexy dresses. I even curled my hair and put extra makeup not caring what he was to say about it.
I was happy and whenever I would be happy I made up myself.
"I am ready! " I sang rounding on my heels.
" Looking sexy. " Piya commented straightening her hairs and dress.
" I intended too." I said as I burned in embarrassment.
" I am not telling how rosy your cheeks got. Let's rock babe! " Piya said grabbing her purse.
I looked myself on the mirror before taking my purse and following her. After about a twenty minutes fast drive, we reached the office.
I rushed towards the elevator only to find him coming from the other side in full black tight fitting suit. How he always managed to shine his shoes?
"Hey Arshi! " He sang waving his hand.
I smiled and greeted him," Hey Armaan! "
He gave me his fascinating smile before motioning me to enter the elevator. I stepped in smiling like an i***t.
" One fine day begins for me! " He chirped pressing the elevator buttons.
I might say 'I was happy today' tonight.
We shared a look staring into each other's eyes till the elevator door opened again.

Hope you liked this update!
Arshita finally taking steps towards him despite her fears.
You know why?
Because loving someone doesn't require the beautiful faces or some money. It requires moments, beautiful talks and time. And Armaan is definitely doing it.
Oh! He is so charming. Don't you think?
