PART-2:
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
-Shakespeare.
"No! He is not like that. You've mistaken!"
"You can't say so. Men like him may declare themselves as a gentleman outside, but at times the inner color will disclose itself, like this!"
"But-"
"You know, when I asked him he said he was an ACP! Men!"
'Her looks about me, never changed as days passed!' He thought.
'After her snide remark at her very first day, the looks of my staff never faltered a bit though I feared they would. But her mentation...'
'And I didn't try to convince her about my guilelessness. After all I'm an ACP!'
Things started changing a bit; at least he thought they did.
When they solved a case, he wanted to thank the guys for their endless nights sacrificed for it.
That night, he was giving a small party for his staff.
She thanked him as basking and devouring a chocolate cake.
"Well done ACP! You've done a wonderful job!"
"Thank you! And it wouldn't be possible if not for my staff!"
"What about this new one?" one of the guests, a friend asked after flattered him.
"Frankly, I didn't think she could-"
That was it. They heard a voice behind shattering the moment into pieces.
"Now, didn't I guess it right? I thought this was coming! After all-"
"Excuse us a minute!"
He said and turned toward her.
"What's it?" He snarled.
"What's it, except an obdurate, smoldering ACP's male ego that-"
"Shut up!"
"Why should I?"
"Since people eavesdrop like you hear'only' the wrong words,' correctly'. I was telling him that I didn't expect you to finish the work this early. Now, go and enjoy your cake!"
Suddenly there were twinkles flashed in her eyes brightly.
"Thanks! But I can't do so!"
She said sadly.
"Why?"
He was confused.
"Since I finished it off!"
She smiled joyously.
"Come on. I get you one more!"
"No thanks! I've finished eating! And I was not eavesdropping you. I came just to say bye."
