CHAPTER 2

Her day couldn't have started on a worse note, Geet told herself as she hurriedly climbed the stairs of KC (Khurana Constructions).

It was a norm of her college, that whoever stood first would be allowed an internship for 1 year in one of the most renowned Architectural Construction Firm in Delhi, which much to Geet's both pleasure and displeasure belonged to Maan, The Maan Singh Khurana or MSK as he was called in the corporate world.

As she climbed her way up, she couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she thought about that morning.

That day, Geet woke up earlier than she normally does and spent over an hour just selecting her clothes for the day. She was having those teenager type feelings once again - the young teenage girl who wants to impress her newly-found boyfriend on her first date with her best wear. Eventually, she went for a formal suit since she was well aware of the formal environment prevailing in KC and how everyone would be donning their best corporate look - anyways, who will want to miss a chance to impress MSK, she thought with a giggle.

Quickly straightening her naturally curly hair, she tied it in a ponytail. Dressed in her suit with minimal make-up which accentuated her features in the best possible way, a watch around her wrist, carrying a bag and a file, Geet looked exactly how she had pictured herself to for her Induction day at KC. *Puuurfect,* she had said while she stood in front of her mirror.

***************

As she reached the 7th floor, Geet was left gasping for her breath. Kya Babaji, such a big, reputed Company, and the lift stopped working. Maan toh bare Kanjoos nikle, she told herself before making her way inside.

Since Maan hadn't yet reached the office, Geet was led into the Waiting Room by his secretary- Miss Anaya as she introduced herself to Geet, which was just beside Maan's cabin. Since the partition was of glass, Geet didn't miss a chance to examine his office. She was blown away by its magnificence. Though it was in the boring black and white combination as most people say, Geet couldn't help but keep on admiring it. The range of windows which faced the city was a sight to behold. From what she could grasp, it must be a bliss to stand by those windows at night, witnessing the whole city illuminating.

She was lost in her own thoughts while inspecting the office when all of a sudden she heard the screeching sound of a siren which made her sprung back. Peeping through the door of the Waiting Room, she felt amused witnessing how all the office staff were busy in setting their clothes and table correctly before taking their respective seat and concentrate in their work - or at least pretending to do so.

In a span of few seconds, Maan walked in, in a very crisp way - rather glided in, Geet remarked as she noticed how flawless he looked dressed in his white shirt tucked into his black pants, and a black waistcoat with a matching tie. Epitome of Perfection, Geet sighed. Despite having seen him only 2 days previously, Geet couldn't help but admire him. His slightly pointed nose, the thin yet perfectly moulded M-shaped lips, those expressive black eyes - which could easily pierce through one's soul - Geet thought as she remembered how he was gazing at her 2 days previously.

Not wanting to be caught off guard by him and look like love-struck teenager, Geet slowly went back to her chair, waiting for the time to officially meet Maan. Maan nahi, Sir kehna hoga Geet, she chided herself as she gave her head a slight tap.

As she sat in Maan's cabin a while later, while the latter was on the phone, Geet couldn't help but think about the indifferent behaviour of Maan. Since the time, she entered his cabin, Maan has been addressing and talking to her in a very formal way. At first she thought maybe because they were in the presence of his secretary but when nothing changed even as Anaya went out, Geet became certain that Maan, knowing who she is - Sameera's little sister, was not really keen on keeping her as an intern in his office. But since it would have been against the protocol, he had no choice. But then, as she recalled, Maan had smiled back to her when she had told him her name that day, which somehow gave her some hope that working with Maan would be pleasant after all. Maybe, he didn't say anything because he didn't want to attract any onlookers that day. At least, this was what she could conclude from his behaviour.

Her chain of thoughts broke when she heard Maan call out her name and then he went on, telling her about the rules that she would have to respect in order to stay at KC.

"So, Miss Geet. I hope I made myself clear enough," Maan said, his glance roving over her.

Once she nodded in approval, Maan called Anaya to bring in the contract papers for Geet to sign and also asked for Sasha, KC's senior Architect.

"Miss Geet, your very first assignment here would be to work on the Noida's project and you shall be reporting to Sasha who would be your mentor," Maan said as he pointed towards Sasha who nodded positively to affirm.

"But Maan...Sir, Maan Sir, isn't is too big of a project for an intern like me. I mean, I don't have the experience, what if something goes wrong?" Geet immediately said.

"Well, in that case, I guess you should go and sell peanuts at the street corner, I hope, that isn't too much for you," Maan replied sarcastically, clearly amused by Geet.

While Anaya and Sasha, chuckled silently at his reply, Geet was taken aback by Maan. His rudeness took her breath away, which, she thought to be good, because she didn't want to say something that she might have regretted later on.

Though Maan added nothing, Geet could sense his gaze on her. And as she lifted her head, she couldn't help but stare back at him.

As Ananya slightly coughed, both became suddenly aware that they have been staring at each other in a surprisingly tense silence because they immediately looked away from each other and even spoke at the same time.

"So, what have you decided?"

"I'm sorry Maan Sir. All this is new to me and I kind of felt nervous. I will definitely give my best. I won't let neither you nor Sasha Ma'am be disappointed with me, " Geet said, this time with more confidence, to which Maan lifted his eyebrows slightly while a nearly invisible smile quirked his lips, though he made no further comments.

"Sasha!!!"

"Ji MK."

"Show Geet her table, and brief her about the work to be done," Maan ordered Sasha who nodded. "And keep me updated about the work done."

"Yes MK," Sasha said and turning to Geet she added, " Miss Geet, come with me."

Geet was just about to step out of the cabin, when Maan called her.

"I forgot to add Miss Geet, but once in a week you shall be assisting me personally," he said. "I hope you will not have any problem," he added rather teasingly to an amused Geet while Anaya, still present in the cabin, clearly aware as to why Maan added the last part, couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"Geet, don't pay much attention to what MK said earlier," Sasha told her once they were out of Maan's view. "Trust me, he is an awesome employer. He just said that to boost you up"

"No Ma'am, I realise that I shouldn't have said that. After all, I'm here to learn and to prove myself."

"No need for these formalities. You can call me Sasha. Everyone here does," she said. "Aur haan, dekhlena, in a matter of few days, just like most of us here, you will also fall prey to MK's charm and won't be tired, gushing over him," she added with a wink.

If only you knew, Sasha, what effect he already has on me... Geet told herself inwardly as both walked till her table.
