Chapter 9
I couldn't help but stare at the ripped abs and chest. His morning hair and sleepy eyes announced that he just got out of the bed. One thing for sure, he likes to wear only boxers in his bed.
What are you doing here?
His voice startled me out of drooling session. Adjusting the specs I gave him a polite smile.
Yesterday you mailed me to meet you at home at 8 sharp.
Oh yeah. I forgot. Please Come in.
He walked back showing his well toned broad shoulders and back muscles. Concentrating hard not to drool, I glanced around the house since its my first time here.
His house was elegant but it was lacking some personal touch. Most of cushions and sofas were outdated. There were not any pictures on the wall and in whole it felt like a large mansion just used for some sleep.
Why this house is sad?
What?
I mean it looks dull.
You came to work for me. Just do that and go.
Fine.
The study is at the right corner of this way. Make a black coffee and wait there. A coffee machine is placed inside the study itself.
He stormed upstairs, may be to bedroom to freshen up. I breathed a sigh of relief. God! He is so demanding.
The study room felt much livelier. Its facing the garden and the bright sunrays fall straight to the room. On one side a book rack has been arranged in a triangular manner. Seems like there are wide variety of collections since its arranged in a categorical order. The desk is facing the garden and atleast 3 can work without any disturbance. A laptop is placed above it with some official documents. A small couch is also placed in case one need rest.
I spotted the coffee maker to make coffee for us. For him, black with one sugar and a non-black coffee with 2 sugars for myself.
Suddenly my phone rang cutting out my concentration.
Gautam speaking.
Oh hi Gautam. Could I speak to Maan?
First name basis?
May I know who this is?
Sara.
He is not with me at the moment. May I know the purpose?
Its okay. I will ring him later. Just inform Sara called from Italy.
I stared at the phone for a second. Is this the brunette?
While working, I was tempted to say about the call, but someway I hated it.
Ms. Sara from Italy called you.
When?
He looked excited and curious. Its not a new thing Geet, ofcourse its his lover.
5 minutes back.
And you are telling me now! Anyways I will call her later.
Is she our new business client?
None of your business.
He snapped making me jump. Touchy, are we? I glared at the side of his head and looked away.
File these.
He handed me a pile of documents and I started my work without complaining.
Keep that file in the top most rack.
Grabbing the ladder I placed it in top most rack, but suddenly something pierced my leg.
Ouch.
What happened?
I think the nail pierced my leg palm.
Maan suddenly crouched beside me and lifted my leg. Blood was forming in the socks. Even in this painful state, my eyes admired the man in front of me. He is too good looking. He is so concerned for me at the moment.
Its bleeding.
He started to remove socks and I clutched his shirt tightly jerking him towards me. He lifted his eyes and looked at me deeply. one of his hands left my leg and removed the locks that fell on my forehead. his touch trailed a path of tingling sensations and i closed my eyes momentarily. when i felt the lack of touch, i opened my eyes to see him looking at me stunned.
Ouch!
He looked at my leg and started to remove the socks as if nothing happened.
Oh No!!
I took his hands away from my leg.
Let me see it.
Yeah. If I let u, u will be seeing my painted nails too.
No thanku. I am fine.
Don't be stubborn.
Sir, I can handle myself. Can u please bring some water?
You are behaving like a thick headed girl.
I froze in my spot while he walked away. God is he suspicious?
Later that afternoon, while working, my phone rang. Lisa?
What?
Coming now. Bye.
What happened?
Lee.
Maan's POV
Gautam looked nervous as we drove towards his apartment. Apparently Lee was not well. He almost collapsed after hearing the news. I hope its some mild fever. Lee is a sweet kid. When we reached the room a petite girl was nervously patting Lee's back while the kid cried.
Lee.
Momma.
Momma?
Have u called the doctor?
Yes. She is on her way. I m so sorry.
Its okay. Its not your fault. Actually thanku for notifying me.
Lee cried harder clutching his coat.
It hurts momma.
Its okay my angel. Momma is going to take your pain away.
He was whispering sweet things to baby. Why lee is calling him Mom? Suddenly there was a knock on the door and we breathed a sigh of relief seeing the doc.
Good afternoon guys, I am Mrs. Julie.
Good afternoon doc.
She opened her medical bag and retrieved the stethoscope. When she went near Lee, she cried harder.
Hush baby. See it won't hurt.
Gautam demonstrated by placing it in her palm. Her cries turned into small muffles making the doctor her work easier.
After checking her, the doctor announced that it was some mild fever and prescribed some medicines and went.
You can take rest of the day off Lisa. I am going to be with her.
Thanku.
She kissed Lee's cheek and went giving me another polite smile.
Mr. gautam.
He stiffened for a moment and then turned to me.
Oh sorry Sir. I was so caught up in the moment.
Its okay. You should feed her food before medicine.
Yeah.
He tried to untangle his hand from Lee, but she began to cry.
Don't cry sweetheart. I m here. I will come fast.
She nodded her head no and continued to cry.
How about Uncle Maan help u?
She gave me a broad smile but dint left him.
I went to kitchen and grabbed some cereals and heated some milk. Then I came back and started to feed Lee.
I don't want.. its yucky.
No. its so tasty. See I get these muscles by eating cereals.
Really?
Yeah.
Can you please read me the story in that book.?
Gautam took the food and fed her while I narrated the story. Infact she want some expressions added while reading it. I cant believe the great MSK is doing such things. But its worth to see her smile.
She fell on deep slumber after sometime.
I think I should go.
Thanku Sir. If you were not there, I dunno how
No Mr. gautam. You are doing an exceptional job being a single father. Lee is a great kid.
She is my life.
If u don't mind asking, why she was calling u mom?
He looked stunned and his hands ran through his hair nervously.
Well, she considers me both as mom and dad and she calls me just like that, sometimes dad, sometimes mom..
It felt like he is trying to hide something. Anyways its none of my business.
Its okay. If u don't mind, when will Geet be back?
He looked surprised.
Why sir?
It should have been a great help for you, right.?
I rubbed back of my neck nervously.
She will meet you soon Sir. Very Soon.
His eyes held a determined expression.. What does that mean?
