You Belong to Me
Chapter Seven
'My name is Harshad Chopra, not Horse Crap'
His mockingly mischievous tone compelled Divya to stop abruptly in her track. Divya simply looked over her shoulder and gave him a glare. 'Oh well that's too bad' she muttered sarcastically, 'the name Horse Crap suited you better'. That said, Divya walked away with a huge victorious smile playing upon her lips.
Harshad watched her retreating figure and chuckled to himself. Her feisty attitude only added onto her countless list of charms. He enjoyed teasing her so; the way she responded so defensively amused him greatly. His heart clenched with emotion and happiness as he reluctantly watched her walk away. She would never know how much he had longed for this day to occur. If only she knew, how long he had waited for her.
If only.....
The driver watched the bundle of changing expressions etched on his bosses face. It was a remarkable change from the usual expressions he wore daily. Everyone knew him as a brooding menacing businessman that lived on his own. He was always shouting his orders, scowling continuously when things didn't go according to his plans. As far as everyone knew, the boss never smiled. He had initially believed all these assumptions as to being true, until he saw his boss with her. It was an amazingly unbelievable transformation. For the first time, H.C had looked happy - as if the angry men had ceased to exist.
H.C sighed and turned to face his driver. His expression changed back to normal, 'Let's go' he ordered. The driver shook his head, he wished the girl would be around him more often. At least through that, the boss would stop looking at everyone as if he were about to murder them.

The next morning brought no difference into Divya's usual routine. Before going to work, she stopped at the coffee store and bought some coffee for herself. Divya sipped her coffee slowly, afraid that she would burn her tongue as per usual. Alas it seemed as if her luck would never change. She had once again sipped a bit too much of the coffee despite trying to control herself, and now her tongue was burning. 'Damn damn damn!' she muttered, trying to fan her tongue with her hands.
She walked into the office and nodded her hello to the receptionist.
'Is the boss already here?' Divya asked worriedly.
The receptionist nodded her head, 'his been calling for you for the passed half n hour'.
'Oh crap!' Divya exclaimed, 'he usually doesn't come this early!'
'I know' replied the receptionist sympathetically, 'he seemed to be in a bad mood as well'.
Divya wanted to scream out her frustration. With a small smile, she proceeded down the office. Her working colleague stopped before her, blocking her path.
'Hi Divya' he flirtatiously smiled at her.
'Oh go away' she brushed him off, 'I'm not in the mood for your nonsensical talks'.
Divya walked passed him and knocked on the bosses door.
'Come in' she heard him call out.
Divya stepped into the office, 'You needed me sir' she stated, nervously.
'Yes Divya, sit down' her boss indicated to the chair.
Divya sat down before him and anxiously waited for him to speak up. Her nerves intensified when she realized that her boss looked both nervous and afraid.
'Ah D-divya, I hope you didn't have any troubles on your way to the office today' he asked lamely.
Divya's eyes almost shot out of her face in complete astonishment. What on earth was going on? Was her boss on some kind of drug? The thought of sitting in the same room with a highly drugged man frightened her a bit. She leaned back onto her chair in suspicion. 'It was fine, sir' she replied hesitatingly.
'Oh oh that's good to hear' her boss replied. 'So uh I have some good news to share with you'.
Divya gave him a strained smile; what on earth could ever be happy when it's related to work? She thought to herself with a bored sigh.
'Yes sir?' she asked.
'You have been promoted!' Her boss replied, trying to sound enthusiastic.
Divya gasped in shock, 'what!' she almost shouted. 'But how is that possible?' she asked, completely at a loss of words.
'Well I'm your boss and seeing how well you have been working, I have come to this decision' he replied.
Divya wanted to dance in happiness! She was even temped to hug the old man but eventually restrained herself. And like a besotted fool, she couldn't stop smiling. Oh boy! What an amazing start to such a dreadfully cold morning.
'I've asked the staff to clean out your desk as your going to be shifting soon' he replied encouragingly.
Divya stopped day dreaming as soon as he uttered those words. 'Shifting?' she asked in confusion, 'but whatever for?'
'Oh well since you have been promoted, your being transferred into a more higher branch' he replied.
Divya was amazed and a little taken aback by the sudden change of events. 'If it's in another branch, who will I be working for?'
Her boss looked even more nervous as he constantly looked behind Divya's shoulder. 'Your boss will be the sole board of director of this business which makes him my superior boss as well'.
'Woah' Divya mouthed out. She wasn't too sure whether she actually wanted to take upon this overwhelming offer. It seemed a bit too intimidating and stressful to take on board. But these kind of opportunities only come once in a lifetime and for some people, never at all. Her decision was made!
'In that case, i'd happily like to accept your offer sir' she replied sincerely.
Her boss seemed relieved by her answer. 'All you have to do is sign this document and everything will go according to plan'.
Divya nodded her head in agreement and commenced in signing the documents. She had an eerie feeling that something was amiss. The way her boss kept looking nervously behind her, made her feel as if there was a third figure also in the room.
With a smile, she handed the documents to her boss. 'If you don't mind me asking sir, who exactly is my new boss? like what is his name?'
'Horse Crap' someone called out from behind her. 'Your new bosses name according to your preferred choice is, Horse crap but you can call me H.C'.
