The Mirage and Oasis...New FF: Chapter 13 updated - Page 5

Khushi stole a sideways glance at the hunk.

What the hell was wrong with her? It wasn't as if she had not seen men or for that matter handsome men or men in business suit or men in general. But OMG! This guy was so ...so...well...she ran out of adjectives and concluded he was of a different league altogether. He was classy from head to foot.

May be he had buck tooth or was squint eyed or may be he was some sadist or psycho.

She tried to glance sideways at him edging a little forward only to see a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring back at her as if she was deranged. Quickly Khushi averted her eyes.

Was she crazy? the owner of the choclate brown eyes thought. Why was she glancing at him so curiously? Hope she was not going to work for him. He could do without lunatics in his office. He had enough problems already...But she was very pretty, he noted.

When the doors opened ASR stepped out, while the girl stuck to her corner of the life.

'Aren't you getting out?' he asked the girl curiously.
'I am going to the floor 18', she said.
'This is the last floor and there is no floor 18, unless of course you mean you are headed for the sky,' he said sarcastically and started moving away.
She came running out behind him.

'But...but...I have to go to AR Ad agency. Do you know which floor it is?" she asked breathlessly.
'Don't you check first where you are headed before taking the lift,' he asked.
'Umm...I thought it was floor 18. Or may be 16...or was it 14...?" she puzzled it over getting more nervous around the hunk. He rolled his eyes and walked away without giving her an answer.

Khushi then looked up and read the board. AR AD Agency was written in Bold Block letters in a board with neon lights. How could she have missed it? No wonder the hunk had looked sarcastic.

Then it stuck her...THE HUNK WORKED HERE! She nearly broke out into a dance. She would see him everyday...may be destiny had brought them together...she immediately sent a prayer to her divine Mother ...devi maiya. 'You got me to the right place..' she smiled and entered the reception area of AR Ad Agency.

The rest of the morning whizzed past in a blaze of activities for Khushi as she completed the paperwork for HR, got seated in her little cubicle where the first thing she did was place the idols of Ganeshji and devi maiya, and then got introduced to her colleagues.

It was around 11'o clock when the HR Nand Kishore or NK popped around her office and said 'Time to meet the boss Arnav Singh Raizada. Come alomg.'

When she came into the room with NK, the boss was facing the window and talking to someone.

But the moment she saw his back and heard his 'What the' on the phone, Khushi knew who it was...the HUNK! Her heart sank. He was the boss? OMG! He had seen her come in late!

When he turned around and saw NK and the girl, Arnav Singh Raizada gave a wince.

The crazy girl from the lift and one more of those freshers, ASR thought.

Ever since AR Ad agencies had grown and had started taking traainee copywriters, there were a deluge of them.

They had a trend of sorts.

All fressh out of college.
All wet behind the ears.
All sissy and dreamy and stupid.
And all, well almost all, developed a crush on him sooner or later...

From the looks of her, this girl was going to join the league if the looks she was giving him was anything to go by. She showed other signs too. She was twiddling with her watch and half blushing.

Without being over modest, ASR knew he was good looking. Plus he was rich...two things which made his life miserable.

ASR sighed. Well, it looked like, similar to all girls, this girl too would start her life with a heartbreak over him...
