The boy who stole her heart

Chapter 6. Personal assistance!

I hurriedly made my way towards my cabin, only if I had the superpower of Flash. I sighed as the distracting thoughts started invading my brain. This is not good.

Walking ahead I stopped as soon as I was standing in front of my cabin. I jiggled with the knob and finally pushed it open and entered inside my cabin. Taking a deep breathe I walked towards my chair and slumped down the chair with a thud. Suddenly tears formed at the corner of my eyes.

'What have I done?' I broke the promise I made to myself. How could I do this to Rihanna? And it's not like it's his mistake entirely. I was a fool. It was my mistake to ask him to kiss me. I don't know what came over me or possessed me to make such a request. I guess seeing him and feeling him so close to me brought back all the old memories. But how could I forget that he is my sister's fiance? I can't have any feelings for him but I know I do.

I need to stay away from him, to get myself away from the guilt. It was his fault too. He practically cheated on my sister by kissing me. But will he tell Rihanna?

It will create such a chaos if he tells her. I can't even imagine dad's reaction. What will he do?

I'm scared of finding out. It is a big deal for me. But I don't think he'll tell. Judging from morning's encounter he did not tell Rihaana about his past that's for sure.

But how can I avoid him? Of all places in the world why did he have to end up here in New York? And even if he ended up here why here? In this company?

How can you avoid a person when he's literally everywhere? I can't avoid him there and well not at office either cause he's here.

I wiped my tear stained face with tissues I pulled from my drawer.

I sighed looking at the kohl stained tissues. God what has my life come to? A day can prove to be this eventful! Like wow.

When I agreed to do stay at dad's I was not at all expecting these things to happen with me. Boy I was wrong!

"Hey yo! Dead yet?" Sam loudly announced while pushing open the door and barging inside like he owned the place. Technically he does but yeah let's ignore that.

"Hi Sam. Yeah please come in" I politely smiled looking at the door. He walked and plopped himself in the chair in front of me.

"Cut it out. So how did it go? Did you finally show him the cabin?" Sam wriggled his eyebrows. I wanted to gag at his tone. Though his tone was crude I did kiss Randhir.

"Ew stop that. Was it your plan all along? To set me up?"

"Yeah right. Because that's what my whole life is about. What should I do for Sanyukta? Will this please her?...."

I chuckled.

"Okay stop it. I got your point."

"But seriously I just wanted you to show him cabin. And I know he's getting married." Sam rolled his eyes.

"Anyways what's up with you? Why are you crying? Spill everything Miss Sanyukta." Sam asked eyeing the tissues lying on the table.

Hearing my name roll off from his mouth sounded quite funny. His Italian accent is raspy and hoarse so the way he pronounces my name is a bit funny. That is the reason I constantly tell him to call me by my nickname.

"I'm not crying. Everything is fine. Really." I assured him while trying hard to hold my giggle looking at his face.

"Sure jan. I'm not believing that shit."

I sighed. It is so difficult to hide stuff from him. Really it's a task. Should I tell him? Only if I want a fight here. I'm pretty sure Sam will beat the s**t out of Randhir. Not that he'll succeed but it's going to be a lot of effort.

"Just remembered some childhood stuff. Not very important. Really believe me." I tried to sound as honest as possible. He looked a bit convinced.

"Okay I'm letting it go this time. But my eyes are on you." He said narrowing his eyes.

"Okay. Okay." I rolled my eyes. The amount of times I roll my eyes is not at all healthy. I'm surprised my eyes didn't get permanently get stuck.

"Anyways don't you have work to do? What's up?" I asked. Though we are best friends we don't spend much time in office together. Firstly cause he's always in meetings and I'm literally piled with preparing minutes and agendas of the meetings.

"s**t I forgot. I came here so that we can together go to Randhir's cabin. Move ya ass woman." He growled standing up from his seat.

Seriously why God why? Though I did not sound one bit like Joey but the emotion behind the question is same. Why is this happening to me? Like what did I do wrong?

I surely knew this was going to happen I mean I was going to face him but I least expected to be now, after just kissing him and running away!

"Why? I mean let him settle down you know. Like I just showed him his cabin." I tried to argue.

"He's not a guest cara. I'm pretty sure he's bored sitting all alone. Besides I need to talk to him about...well everything. Let's go" Sam gestured towards his door.

"Okay fine."

We both made our way towards his cabin. Sam instead of knocking the door twisted the knob open. I glared at him and swatted his arm. Sighing and muttering something under his breath he finally knocked on the glass door.

"Come in" His deep voice created something inside me.

"Hey." Randhir greeted us as soon as we stepped inside the cabin.

"Hi"

"Do you find the cabin good?" Sam asked sitting in front of Randhir. Reluctantly I took a empty chair beside Sam.

"Yeah it's really comfy." Randhir answered his gaze on me. I still did not meet his eyes.

"So Randhir do you need anything else or should we start already with the tour?" Sam asked him after looking at me with a blank expression.

"Actually I do. Sam as you know I am here for two months. And I want to get as involved as possible. So I thought that a personal assistant is the solution. Of course I would have bought my assistant but he's on leave for personal reasons. Also he's taking care of my company in California. So what do you think? "

It's really the most I've heard him talk since he's here. Yeah well it's been a day so. Also he's been in California all these years.

"A personal assistant? Huh? But it will take time Randhir as we don't have any temporary employees. Everyone in the department is busy with new project."

"I understand that. But what about Sanyukta?!"

What? Did I hear him correctly? Who does he think he is?

"You do understand that company secretary is different than Personal assistant? Or do you need a description for that?" I asked to which Sam nudged me. I turned towards him and he looked pale.

"I am perfectly aware of the job description Miss Sanyukta..."

"So Randhir why do you want sanyukta as your personal assistant? Is there any reason?" Sam surprised me by suddenly asking him the question. He narrowed his eyes at Randhir. Like he does when he's eating strawberry flavour oreos.

"Not specific. I thought your personal assistant would feel too much of a burden handling both at same time. Also the economy is slow now and I believe Sanyukta is professional and will handle both the jobs perfectly. Just a thought." He grinned at me.

Why does he want me to be with him like he wants me near him? He is actually stating like it's a matter of fact and that he had seen me work all while and I am so good that he wants me to be his secretary now. Of course I'm good enough in my work and I did not disappoint Sam regarding work. But that doesn't mean I want to work with my sister's fiancé who happens to be my ex boyfriend.

But I don't understand if he don't have anything towards me and us happily marrying my sister then why he want me to work for him. Does he still love me?

Surely a big no. He never loved me, if he did he would have not left without a proper reason so he has some other motive for sure. I think he wants to see me getting affected by him and his so called stunts that he will pull in these two months. I don't care of what he does I will not let him hurt me twice. I am going to accept to be his secretary if Sam agrees so that I can show him I am not the same old self. I am a strong woman who knows to deal her problems.

"That is right. She is professional and has a experience of three years." Sam cleared his throat. He looked at me pleadingly.

"See that's why I need her" he looked up at me "to be my personal assistant" he finished with a cough.

This asshole surely knows how to not speak in front of my friend. Sam looked at me with his pleading eyes and asked 'was I okay with the idea?' I blinked my eyes conforming him. It's not like I have a choice. He's not going to back down easily. I know his stubborn ass very well.

"So... Is that a yes?" He asked as he looked with his jaw clenched and his eyes darkened suddenly. His smoldering eyes drilled into me and my thighs clenched in response.

I just hope I will able to resist him in these two months and then I will cope up. After he gets married to my sister I will fall out of love with him and be able to move on. I hope this two months will pass by quickly.

"Yes Mr Shekawat. I'll work for you." I answered while smiling politely at him while he seemed to be a little surprised by my reaction.

"Really? Oh no I am going to miss you so much cara. You'll be no more sitting in my cabin annoying me " Sam faked a hurt sound to which I giggled.

"I know right. I'm such a privilege to you. Sadly you won't be able to enjoy it anymore." I smirked.

"Yeah I can't stay away from you. Your charm, seriously!" Sam grinned looking at me.

I could feel Randhir's glare on me but I chose to ignore it.

"Sam now stop it." I said trying to be more serious. He comically nodded his head. Not believing my word.

"I need to go and talk to Rose. Shift my cabin and all." I stood up from my seat.

"I'll see you guys at lunch."

"I know you are going to miss me too." I heard Sam's faint voice from Randhir's cabin as I walked out.

He never fails to make me smile. I always wanted someone like this in my life who will never hurt me and make me smile in any damn situation. I sometime wish I could have loved Sam instead then this situation would have not been difficult but this is it. Also Sam is still hung up on his long lost lover. I really want to meet the girl who still managed to make his heart beat only for her such that he never falls for anyone's charm. She really must be someone special.

Shaking my head to prevent these thoughts I go and knock on Rose's cabin. It's going to be a long day.

***

Surprisingly lunch turned out to be fine. I avoided being alone with Randhir which proved to be a easy task considering there were many people there and they all seemed eager to talk to him.

After lunch I shifted my things in the cabin beside Randhir. Rose helped me with it. I thought that it would be awkward working with him but I was stumped because I couldn't find out. After lunch he had gotten a call which is why he took off. I don't know if I should have been relieved or upset that he left early.

Shortly after lunch I did some work and it was time to go back to Millers. The place I dreaded going.

"Hey cara. How was your work today?" I heard my father's thick voice as soon as he opened the door for me.

Wow what a greeting dad! I mean this is good way to great for your daughter whom you left all those years ago.

"Hi. Work was good. What about you? What did you do all day?" I asked trying to sound interested.

Walking beside me he looked surprised, not at all expecting the question.

"It was good. Had a good fishing trip with Butler. He's making them for dinner." I made a face at that. Don't judge me but I hate sea food with passion. I don't know its just irks me to eat the food that's been in water for years.

"Don't worry we bought some fresh chicken along the way" Dad chuckled looking at my face.

"Anyways go get ready quickly. We are expecting a guest tonight." I stopped midway as he mentioned the guest. Seriously can this day get any more eventful?

"Guest? Is it someone I know?" I asked curious.

"Err... I don't think so." He avoided meeting my eyes.

"Now go."

Fine dad" I muttered and made my way towards my room.

This surely be something good. I hope it's good. Well hope is the only thing I can rely on.
