Chapter 2 : First meeting's & its blunders..!
"When we first met, I felt love i will never forget, the way you looked at me made me feel unreal, when you touched me i got a shiver down my spine, then you told me you were mine, those words i will never forget that first kiss, I'll never regret you, I'll never forget..."
Arnav Singh Raizada had been extremely distracted and pissed as he walked into AR. His employees immediately stood up in hurry closing all their work loads and wished their devil of a boss a very good morning. Being the devil that he was, he unmercifully nodded at each of them as if they were mere worms in this life. He wanted them to understand that in this circle of life, he owned each one of them. 'Survival of the fittest' as he rightfully called it.
He was going through certain files when suddenly all his anger disappeared in a jiffy. It was as if someone had cast a spell on him. He closed his eyes and took in a deep supply of oxygen. It was then that he smelt her. He opened his eyes quickly and stood up; he walked over to the glass window separating him from his office and looked down. What he saw took his mere breath away. There she was standing nervously while fidgeting with her dupatta. She was beautiful! Her long chestnut brown hair was tied up in a high chignon bun with a few strands falling down on her face. Her simple white salwar suit complimented her fair, milky skin. Her pink petal lips were just the invite to Arnav's needy hormones. He just wanted to kiss those lips! The best part was her honey brown, doe shaped eyes lined with just kohl. Arnav glanced at the male population down, he unknowingly formed a sense of possessiveness towards this angelic looking woman, he wanted to take her away and hide her from the cruel world and its pathetic challenges. Gulping down a glass of water, he pulled on his jacket and walked down effortlessly enhancing his pride.
Khushi's breath caught at her throat and she fumbled for words but nothing came out. She tried to lower her gaze from his molten burning eyes but it wasn't exactly working. She took in his appearance, his tall, intimidating structure, his high cheekbones, his aristocratic nose, his smooth yet rough lips….oh how badly she wanted to kiss it! Shut up KKG, what the hell are you thinking?
She finally held her gaze up to his most prominent feature; his eyes. Those molten brown orbs gazing at her intensely making her shiver within the safe range. His dark wavy brown hair completing his face allowing a curled tendril to fall to the middle of his smooth forehead. Khushi swallowed all her words and just stared. It was as if time had stopped all together and it was just him and her. Oh how handsome he was! Almost as if Adonis was reincarnated…
Then as if trying to be Satan or Hades, someone cleared their throat. Breaking away from the hypnotizing trance, she let go of her breath and gulped in large amounts of oxygen. Oh how intoxicating his stare was!
Arnav took one good look at the beautiful girl in front of him. Yes she was beautiful….sexy…and…and…innocent. Arnav realized that if it was anybody else in her place, that women would have taken good advantage of the situation but no! This enigmatic woman in front of him tore her very own doe shaped eyes away from him. Shocked as he was, he allowed a slight smirk to form on his face. Giving his audience a.k.a his employees, one final glare, they scurried of to their work stations while this woman stood in front of him nervously glancing around. Who was this mystery?
Finally gaining up the courage, Khushi licked her dry lips and moistened them invitingly. She didn't realize that this one innocent move had Arnav begging at his knees to stop the sweet torture. Arnav controlled his desperation and looked at her questioningly. Were they playing a 'Look but don't touch' game?
"Miss..?" asked a curious Arnav. Khushi choked on her own words after hearing his deep, velvety and seductive voice. Biting her lip again she mumbled "urrm Khushi, Khushi Gupta… sir?" Arnav smirked mischievously and said "aaah welcome to AR, Miss Gupta. Would you care to join me up at the lounge?" Khushi was at a loss for words. What exactly was this stranger trying to do to her? She was sure she would be dead by the end of today if he kept on being so darn sexy. Khushi cleared her throat and said "Urr sure sir…"
Arnav nodded at her and signaled her to follow him upstairs. She glanced around at everybody and they all gave her sympathetic and encouraging looks. Exactly who WAS this man?
Opening the large glass door, Arnav held it open for the peculiar Miss Gupta and allowed her to take a seat beside him. He got a hold of her resume and went over it.
"urrm sir, am I qualified enough? You see, I still have to meet Mr. Raizada and I am extremely nervous. You know, I've heard that he is actually THE devil in disguise!" muttered Khushi. Arnav raised his eyebrows in amusement. So she still didn't know that I am Arnav Singh Raizada! This was going to be fun…
Khushi stood up awkwardly and glanced at the man in front of her….who the hell WAS he?
"So, Khushi…You do not like Arnav Singh Raizada?" he asked. Khushi becoming the usual bubbly self, exclaimed "No sir! Absolutely not! I have heard horror stories of him! You know everybody down calls him 'The Bermuda triangle', once you get in, you can never get out!" Khushi went on to display her version of ASR in front of ASR himself. Arnav bit his lip in amusement and said "But you know Khushi, it's not nice to judge people based on what others have told you." Khushi thought for a little and said "Yes sir. It was my mistake, he's your boss and you wouldn't like it if I insulted him. Im sorry." Arnav controlled a giggle erupting and said "Welcome to AR, Miss Gupta, I will see you tomorrow morning at 7 am sharp!"
With that Arnav walked out, leaving a shocked and flustered Khushi allowing herself to scream and jump in joy at getting selected for the job. But wait, she realized something….
Who was he? And how did he give her the job?
Realizing what had happened, Khushi's eyes grew as round as a saucer and she ran off to confirm her doubts……!
