Arshita It was already ten and the car wasn't standing out of my apartment as he said to me. I was so stupid to think myself a super exotic woman to attract the attention of the handsome face that way. Whole night I dreamt of him and compared him with Ronit. I was mad to do this as I forgot I didn't knew anything else about him than his big name and amusing face. I took a taxi as I was exhausted of standing there after the assigned time and gave the driver address of Oberoi Mansion. "Arman Oberoi." I said thinking I was accustomed of calling him 'him' or 'sir. ' "Ronit Agnihotri. " All the love poured out at the sound and my face turned into a sack of potatoes. Piya always pointed this out to me. " Arman Oberoi. f**k this man! He is your boss. " I reminded myself and scolded at my thoughts of having him. Until now I didn't knew I was this desperate. Once more he made me feel like this but this time it was intense and intolerable. I slipped from the taxi as it stopped at the huge iron gates painted black and white and guard standing out in a attention. I knew these people don't allow anyone to enter freely in their houses so I first approached the small room and told them my identity, after which I got Inside the gate. Big people, big things! They don't even leave a thing to call small. I wondered if they could change the size of the body, they would make that big too. I had to walk a mile I think to finally get inside their main door. Dammit! "Excuse me! " I disturbed the very lady standing near the table, bent and doing something with the tray in it. She was quite dressed up in white and black clothes and of middle age. "Hello! May I know who you are, mam?" She said politely reminding of him and his politeness as if they had taken a special classes for being so very polite. It was getting so irritating and I had the problem with nerves! "I am Arshita, assistant of Mr. Arman Oberoi. I am here for todays arrangement for the dinner party. Can I see the manager here or him? " I waited for her and she gave me the look of immense confusion. " Yeah sure. I can call the manager, Ankit but who him? " She said and I looked at her casually. Him him! Oh my god! " I mean, Arman sir. " I said getting some head into my stupid head. She gave a polite smile and said," Alright! Please feel comfortable here whole I call him. " I marched to the sofa she pointed me noticing the silence or peace, I don't know what, in this very hall. "Can you please stop this!" I heard someone chirp behind me, "I know but you gotta come out of your hype." "Navya! You are warned this day even. " Another sweet voice hit my ear consisting of motherly affection. I stood up to greet them and turned towards the source. I gave them smile when they found me waiting for their attention. Navya. She was stylish and covered in her beautiful blue shirt matched with white shirt, wearing modest smile. "Hello! " She chirped, spilling sugar. It went monotonous," I am Arshita, assistant of Mr. Arman. I came for the arrangement of today's dinner party. I am waiting for him.. sir, I mean. " When it hit me that it was his sister's birthday that I added,"Happy birthday Mam. " She smiled and chanted, "Thank you so much Arshita. And please call me Navya." "Yeah Navya. " I said instantly as if waiting for this only. She gave me shinning smile, noticing it. " Speedy! " That's ship name of Arrow series. Alright I had no problem. I stopped caring all of it until the words are meant to be sarcastic. " I like you! " She chirped again and I gave her kind smile. Actually I too liked her now. Has anyone been so good to say this to me this fast? No. Never. " I like you too Navya, " I said, gratified. "I like both of the women." I looked back to trace the face of the man with this facet. "Good morning sir! " I said, nonchalantly to get his usual bright smile. I looked little down to find him in different attire. He wasn't in his formals but in a simple tight red T-shirt and white pajamas with no slipper on. His finely pedicure feet gave me corrupt feelings. I looked down at my legs and I know I had the face make him much more amused. "I am having some trouble for my sister. " He chanted which went just above my head. " Hey! No one forced you into this for my well being. You can get back to your room to get yourself your slippers. " She taunted him almost over to him. " He is fasting for my so called well being. Who the hell wants that, " She turned to explain me," so just give me some fresh air. " " Okay Choti. " He gave her toothy grim while she glared and went away saying," Goodbye Arshita. " " Bye Navya. " I said to myself as he peered me from top to toe. This addiction of his needed to be changed. " She always does this for me so I thought it this time. " He said pointing his feet again to get my intense scrutinization. Now I found that his feet were extra long and I propped the fact that his shoes size to be 9 or 10, maybe. " Nine, " I blurted. " No. No. Ten. " He corrected and I bit my tip of tongue in embarrassment. I composed myself," No. It's nine. You said you will send the car at Nine. " He raised his eyebrows and tried to stop laughing," I said I will send the car at 10 which I surely did but my shoe size remains 10." I watched him agape thinking. Alright i***t. Go to hell! "What I have to do sir?! " I said, irritation quite clear in my voice. " My manager Aman will help you to arrange things. So it's my sisters birthday so I want the best. " He said, now quite official. " What exactly you want sir? " I asked again. "The best, " He chanted as if it was obvious. Okay. "May I leave? " I asked exasperated when he said again. " Wait. She is colourful, beautiful and a flower. What you think will make the surrounding... extremely.... unexpected and.. colorful, beautiful and a flower like her, maybe? " He looked around, idiotically. Was I a decorator? " You must surely appoint some professional sir. " I said sarcastically. He looked at me for long as to what to do with me look. " What do you think of me? Of course there are two working already for the party. It's that I want something... something great for her. Like she did for me. Something like that. " He said moving his hands trying hard to explain. " What she did? " I asked curtly. " I love gardening. She had got the beautiful species of flowers and show pieces for me in the garden. It wasn't meant to be seen now but I somehow I found it. " He explained but why was he getting the gift. It was her sisters birthday. Anyways I had to do my job. " So something amazing I opt for her. I don't know but something.. " He went on again confused. Always I saw him know it all and does his work like he knew it from the beginning but this was something, something for him. " Okay sir! We will work out that something. " I found myself imitating him the last word. I thought I had to arrange the dinner party but it came out all different. He was taking me somewhere and I followed him through his posh building. Everything around said," You can't afford me girl, " and I thought I didn't wanted to. Then I heard the beautiful rose," You really can't smell me. " That was different kind. I never saw that beautiful rose. It called me again and next I noticed myself touching the rose and then taking in the fragrance.  " It's Juliet Rose. Very rare one. " He commented from behind. " It's beautiful, delicate. " I chirped. " I know. You have no idea how long it took to harvest. " He added emphasizing certain words. " How long? " I whispered. " Fifteen years. " He whispered back quite amused. My hands fell down the next instant fearing if this delicate things broke then I would pay for it whole my life. I watched him agape," Oh god! I love my red roses then atleast they grow daily and everyone can afford it. " " I agree Miss Arshita. " He sang as he turned and led me to a big room, illuminated by a light and having a posh bed and couch. There was a big photo of him, Navya and his father. Happy family! Wait. He brought me in his f*****g room! " We can work out here, in this couch." He said, mischief clear in his voice and I shuddered at my stupid thought. Why the hell he would think like that? "Sorry! " I said. " You can sit here while we discuss with something. What else you thought? " I noticed the mischief again. This was hell of a man. " Nothing. " I said as I marched towards his couch. " You need anything else? " This came out casually. " Coffee. " I blurted before making myself and my bag comfortable. " Okay Mam. " He chanted as he sat just before me in the glass table picking up the phone. " Two mild milk coffee. " He ordered before putting the phone back. " Okay. " He said and I was busy staring him and counting the inches we were close. I moved side wards to hear," Make yourself comfortable Arshi. " " Do you allow it? " I almost yelled as he moved his side such that we were again face to face and damn closer. " I am sorry! " He smirked," How I don't allow. " " I don't know. You make it awkward for me. And it's not just today but from our first encounter. You are very... hideous. Hateful and shocking in a good way. " I said loudly standing up and looking away. But after I was done with my show, I couldn't turn to face him. My eyes shut and lips quivering couldn't manage to turn to gauge what my boss was going to do next. I was fired for sure, I thought. Credit would go to my stupid and urgent mouth. ************ Hope you like the chapter. Well it is just a filler and more of it will come soon. If you don't like it then can comment here.
