CHAPTER 7
After noon, Roli and the team were sitting and chatting to each other after the meeting. The conference was over and Siddhant was dealing with the delegates. The meeting was quite successful. Siddhant's presentation style really made Roli amazed. He was so charming!!! Some sort of infatuation was active in the air. Asmitha was relieved to see Roli and Sid separated for at least a few moments as Sid left to leave the delegates down at the parking lot. But soon, things changed as Sid entered the workstation waving a "hi..." to all. Asmitha smiled on seeing him. Sid coolly entered the place and without the ego of a typical boss sat on one of the desks. "So...what's going on?" he enquired. "Nothing Siddhant...Just chit chatting..." said Asmitha interested to answer him. Sid raised his eyebrows and expressed great. "So boys...how many poor creatures had the girls done postmortem by now? I mean...scrutiny in terms of height to..." he hissed something in Akhi's ears to which he laughed like hell. "Siddhant...you're so funny..." commented Akhi. "Yeah...I'm...any doubt?" asked Sid with a wink."Do you think girls don't have any better work than scrutinizing you guys?" asked Roli keeping her right hand on her waist. Sid smiled and shoved off the question which made Asmitha happy to the core. Sid smiled at Asmitha and said "Usually they say, if a girl got brains, then she won't be beautiful and if she's beautiful, she'd be the biggest idiot...but I won't agree to it after coming to this office..." Asmitha was so much happy with the comment which she thought was about her."Thank you Siddhant..." she said. "Sorry Asmitha...I didn't talk about you..." said Sid. All broke in to loud peals of laughter whilst Asmitha got up and kicked on her chair angrily. "Hey girl...I was joking..." said Sid. But she had already left the place with thundering steps. "Ego issue...okay tell me then, whom did you talk about?" asked Abhi. Sid looked Roli with the corner of his eyes which was visible to her too and conveyed it is solely about her . Roli looked down with an obvious blush whist Sid smiled mischievously. "Siddhant..." asked Abhi. "Areyy...our Nishfa...see...quite cute, quite silent...just in to work..." sad Sid. Nishfa gave an embarrassed smile because she wasn't the one who enjoyed being noticed. "Shittt!!!You lost it!!!Nishfa??? Just run your eyes to the project management team and then you can..." Akhi stopped midway as he saw Roli's sharp eyes on him. "Ahem ahem...got work..."said Akhi as he settled back to his chair. "Chalo...then...we'll also get back to works...Roli come in...Nishfa I need the file 345 on my table by evening? is that okay?" asked Sid. ? "Yeah..." Nishfa said with a smile. "Okay then..." Sid walked in to his cabin. Roli followed him taking couple of files with her.
Roli entered the cabin smiling. "Okay girl...so the meeting is success...We bagged the deal..." said Sid excitedly. "Yeah...that's so good...your presentation did the work..." said Roli. "Ya may be...but your work too has got equal role in its success..." appreciated Sid. "Thank you..." said Roli. "Okay now...I think it's time for you to go home and take a bit of rest...you look tired..." said Sid. "Rest???no need...I'm perfect...i don't wanna go..." said Roli. "No yaar...you're going..." said Sid sternly. "Siddhant listen...what will I do if I go home at this time...Bhaiyya won't be home and it's gonna be boring..." said Roli. "But Roli..." began Sid. "Enough boss...gotta do a lot of work..." said Roli. "None can win you in words..." said Sid nodding his head. "I know..." said Roli with a smile. "You smiles cutely..." said Sid. Roli looked Sid crossing her arms. "Seriously????" asked Roli sarcastically. "Yeah...True..." said Sid. "Acchhha..." Roli begun ready to start a duel. "Girl...I'm not flirting...okay..." said Sid. "Oh ho...but it seems so...' said Roli. "That's not my mistake sweetheart..." said Sid smartly. "Hmmm...this won't go that easily..." said Roli. "Obviously not..." said Sid. Roli rolled her eyes. "Joking yaar...then if you're not going, you continue with your works...i just got some files to deal with...' said Sid. "Okay..." said Roli. She smiled and left the cabin whilst Sid looked at her intently
