CHAPTER 2
Roli stood as if she's rooted to the floor as a tall, handsome guy stood halfway by the door of the cabin. He looked like a lighthouse almost. His face fresh and sparkling. His eyes piercing and deep. He was dressed in cleanly ironed crisp formals but those first three buttons left unhooked made his look hot. He smiled at Roli in a teasing way. Roli almost looked like spaced out. He had seen her bouncing stupidly at the very first day of his entry. She must have looked like a daft lass to him. As for Asmitha, the boat service of which she had already begun was almost stopped due to flooding of saliva. The Nishfa looked him with respect whilst the look from the boys undoubtedly had envy in it. "Meeting guys...come in to the conference hall..." he said in a most alluring voice. Roli and the other members walked in to conference hall as if hypnotized and took their seats. "So guys...I know you're all bit confused right now...So much that you can't even stand on the floor..." he looked Roli with the corner of his eyes which made her embarrassed. "So...where were we? Yeah...Confused...means...This was very swift, even to me because I got the call from your chief to be a part of this company at the late night...But nevertheless, I'm very happy about it...before going to all that, let me introduce myself...I'm Siddhant Bharadwaj, the head of foreign relations department from now on...you guys can call me Siddhant...Now..." he took a file from the table and looked intently in to it. Roli wasn't in a position to look up; his charm has definitely affected her badly. " So you five...Akhil Vasudev, Abhi Mehra, Asmitha Banerjee, Nishfa Khan and Roli Dwivedi...you guys are the team of foreign relations...Amongst this...Who's Roli Dwivedi?" asked him raising his eyebrows. Something blocked Roli's throat at the very moment, she wasn't able to push words out of her mouth. With great difficulty she rose from her chair. "Oh...so you're Miss Dwivedi...So Miss. Dwivedi you've assisted your previous boss and you'd do the same with me...okay..." asked him. "Ye...yess sir..." she said. "Ehh..." Sid said raising his eyebrows. "Sorry...yes. Siddhant..." said Roli looking down. "That's the right one...So guys...We would discuss more whenever necessary...till that, you can get back to your works...Miss. Dwivedi...you please come with me...Others...You can go..." said Sid. The team except for Roli left the conference hall. Asmitha turned back several times to see what's with Sid and Roli now. "Come..." said Sid as he walked in to his cabin. Roli watched him and followed him silently. Sid opened the door for Roli and closed it as she entered. He settled on his chair and gestured her to sit. "So Miss Dwivedi...how are you feeling?" asked Sid as he turned a pen between his fingers. Roli was obviously surprised by his question. "I'm good..."said her in a low voice. "oh come on girl...leave your breathe...why're you so tensed..seems that your previous boss had affected you pretty badly..." said Sid. Roli smiled lightly yet uncomfortably. "But Miss Dwivedi...I'm neithera monster nor a rapist...and I don't eat human flesh...So you can be free with me..." he said. A smile appeared on Roli's face as he heard him. "This would work here Miss Dwivedi..." said Sid chuckling good naturedly. Roli smiled even more and looked doubtedly at Sid. "Something to say?' asked Sid. "Yeah...it would be better if you call me Roli..I'm lil' uncomfortable with this Miss Dwivedi..."she said hesitantly. "oh just that..Okay then Miss..Sorry...Roli..." said Sid. "So...what I came to tell you is that we got to deal with some files today itself...I've spotted some really erroneous files...i wonder I think old guy never saw through it...so we should correct it at the fastest..."said Sid. Roli listened intently. The embarrassment and shy was no longer seen. "So can you help me with it?' asked him. "Of course..."said Roli. "Good then...just sit..we'll see some selected files..."said Sid. Roli nodded and they started working together.
Outside the cabin, Asmitha fidgeted her fingers tensely as she threw frequent glances at Sid's cabin. "What happened to you?" asked Nishfa as she continued working. "Nothing...I'm just wondering if Roli has an eye on our new boss..." she said. But not only that she didn't get the required attention of the gang, all started laughing at her. "Roli??? Are you serious? She eyeing a guy???in fact everyone in the office had eyed her...But she didn't fell(experience says it all right?)...I think even this new man has got an eye on her...Its him..Not her..."said Abhi. "Oh...i don't think so..." said Asmitha as she thought intently on it. Nishfa and the guys just shoved the matter off as they know that Asmitha is bit nosey.
Inside the cabin, Sid and Roli were working so close to each other. "Roli...what is this name????Pradyumnavard...Ha Ha...Pradyumnavardan Raj Singh...so simple name right?" said Sid laughing. Roli joined him in his laugh too. "Actually you know what Siddhant...Ashok sir was such an earthquake that I never used to get something to laugh when I was inside this cabin. This was one of the most haunted places for me..." said Roli. "That's funny..."said Sid. "Okay Roli...got some work...maybe it will take me till afternoon to finish off ...So you sit here and deal the files...Any problem...Here is my number, ring me up...okay..Bye..." said him as he stepped out of the cabin smiling at her. "Bye..."she too replied before he stirred out. She was in fact feeling so relieved. Unlike Ashok who used to eat her brains at every instant, this guy is really a big relief...he's dealing everything so coolly, thought her. That was when Asmitha entered the cabin. "Roli...what're you doing?" asked her. "Obviously working..." said Roli as she continued with the files. "Oh...so how's the man?" asked her. "Which man?" asked Roli concentrating on the file. "Siddhant..." said Asmitha as a matter of a fact. "Oh him???He's such a nice chap...Too good...too romantic as well...he's so steamy...he talks so nicely..."said Roli realizing the real motive of Asmitha's question. Asmitha rolled her eyes in awe. Roli laughed aloud now. "Oh come on Asmi...he's definitely a nice guy...nothing else...but big relief for me as I got rid of that idiot Ashok...that's all..." said Roli. "Oh..." said Asmitha as she smiled uncomfortably and stepped out of the cabin whilst Roli continued her work with a smile.
