"Maan where are we going?"
"Our office?" He smiled.
"What! But why suddenly and why didn't you tell me before!"
Her reaction was incredible. She got nervous. As sooner as the car was hurrying up toward the building her heartbeats gathered up. Sweat beads started wetting her hands and tiny lines overcame on her forehead.
"Are you nervous?" Maan cramped his eyes on her. Geet was sitting all silent and her face exchanged expressions from nervous to scare within one second. She said yes. She was very tensed with the thought of visiting her office for the first time and the reaction she was supposed to gain from people there.
"Maan what I'm going to do or say there. I have zero knowledge about this company and all people, they will be all strangers and I don't know how should I threat them or behave with them. I even don't have any idea about what they do?" She spoke worriedly and suddenly jumped off, "And Maan.. What will I call them.. Ouch!! "her head hit the car roof. She clutched her head and sat down making face.
Maan only could laugh over her antics. "Geet.. You're really too much you know. You didn't once think before entering in tiger's den and now fearing to walk into your own kingdom where all know you are the boss?" He said caressing her head.
"What.. They all know me? But why Maan.. I mean they should've known you as boss. I don't know about company anything, what if they ask me something about random projects what would I reply?"
"Geet.. calm down. You are visiting your own office, not in your collage viva, that they would question you. And you really need not to worry about anything Angle I'm, with you!" Maan smiled, tried to release her tension.
"Hmm!" She nodded getting some consolation that yes, he was there with her.. but still the thought was horrifying. What if they don't like her being their boss!
They both came out from car. Maan watched back. Geet was slowly following him lost in watching the new place. At every step her eyes orbited consciously. Suddenly as if she remembered something, she runs to Maan and patted on his hand which was raised in air to press lift button on.
"Maan where is refreshment room I need to go?"
But till then Maan had walked inside lift and he dragged her in next swift before the automatic door could've closed down. He narrowed eyebrows at her.
"Don't give me this look. I need to see how I'm looking" she said feeling little hesitated but then the worry took over her mind. "You know I didn't even wear perfect dress for this place!" she said frustrated.
Maan awed at her face.
"What? Why are you glaring me?"
"I'm not glaring you Geet.. Wait,, let me see carefully" he watched her face closer. Pointing toward her eyes he said, "I guess there is something below your eyes Geet" He bent nearer.. "Is it dark circle?"
"Kya?" she touched her eyes getting worried. "Is it?"
"And yes,, you were right. This red color doesn't looking much pretty for this place Geet, you really should've worn some other one... and your hair.."
"What happened to my hair?" She held her one-sided plait looking at it pitifully.
Maan gave serious expression, "Nothing happened... It looks good but.. "
"But what?" her heart was anticipating seriously,
"Geet you know this is office and this hair style is very outdated"
"That's why.. That's why I was telling you I should've been informed before.. but you didn't.. you knew I never been in any official place before but still you played with me"
"But Geet you are forgetting, we're coming from a meeting with.."
"But there was no one would compare me as their boss. I hate you Maan.. I need to go back!" She reached to press floor button in dejection, "I won't go in" ..
"Oh Geet stop!" Maan stopped her hands to touch the switch. "Geet office staffs already waiting for us. Now it wouldn't look good if we cancel this visit, at this time"
She was literally getting discouraged. She had had a solid preview over her looks that she was appearing unprofessional and moreover, she didn't want to low Maan's reputation in front of all, due to her disqualification. She was in verge of cry.
"By the way, I can help you Geet"
"How?" she stared him pitifully. Maan stopped the lift and he walked to her. Slowly he closed the gap in between. He lifted her chin. Her gaze collided with his and her breathing heaved, when anticipation turned desires on inside her heart. "Let me clean smudged kohl around your eyes Geet" He breathed. He brushed his lips in corners of her eyes. While, his finger stroked over her cheeks softly. Geet gathered her breathes when his thumb played over her lips. He caressed them and fondled them. "It's so dry. Let me moisten them" he said. Before granting any chance he took them inside his mouth, let his mouth wet her lips and moved back, leaving her lips hungrier. He smirked looking at her vulnerable. He watched at her hair. He slipped down the hair-rubber from her plait. Let her hair fell down on her shoulder like river showers from mountain and it made way toward her waist. But before her curls could coiled over her waist, his arms filled the place hurriedly in envy. He tugged her nearer and combed her hair with his fingers. His fingers enjoyed much to play hide and seek within her thick curls. He smelled them and smile crept over his lips feeling pleased. He freed her.
Geet took relief breath thinking the thrilling torture was over but the she found her gaze upon her chest. She realized, her Dupatta was dangling on one shoulder aimlessly. She hastened to correct it when Maan held her hand. He slipped Dupatta from her shoulder and rolled it in thin pleats. His naughty fingers took full privilege to brush over her skin while he places Dupatta back on the correct place, around her neck.
"Ho Gaya?"
Geet asked. His touch was getting harder to manage by her thumping heart. Maan shook head. "There is one more thing I need to correct" he said. She waited to understand what he meant when his hand touched over her neck. She stirred up with this gratified touch when found, Maan held her Mangalsutra and carefully let it be placed over her chest, like a direct mark, she was his. He kissed on her head. "Now you're ready" he smiled. "And I was wrong. This red color suits you well. You're looking very beautiful"
Her eyes shied. She couldn't speak up her smile answered. Maan started the lift and it reached on the floor.
"Maan one min!"
He stopped to walk out. Geet corrected his tie and the collar.
"Let's go" She said and happily she held his hand when they walked out.

In office everyone welcomed them fully heartened. Every girl was delighted to see MSK before their eyes and all men envied Maan who had a beautiful girl beside. Maan introduced himself and Geet and turned to walk inside cabin. Geet walked before Maan. She was to step in when suddenly someone collided with her and flowers from his hands flew in air showering petals over her and Maan head.
"Welcome Sir... Welcome Geet Ma'am" The person blurted out in hurry. "I'm your personal assistance, Romeo" He grinned looking at Geet.
