The Boss and The Secretary Series 1 - The Charming Boss
The more she looked at him, the more she drooled over him. She couldn't explain the feeling she devoured for him, it could just be a mere crush or it could be her hormones kicking out. But she had caught him looking at her many time and has been caught too. His intense looks made her skin burn, she couldn't imagine what his touch would do to her.
Priya Sood worked as the secretary of The Great Business Tycoon Ram Kapoor. And she had been crushing over him since she had seen him. But her feelings never came in between her work. She was sincere and thus, Ram was really impressed with her.
She was working on some files when she heard her intercom ring.
“Hello.”
“Priya, please bring the Mittals' file in my cabin.”
“Right away, sir.”
When she entered the cabin, she saw the most beautiful sight, but she felt jealous at the same time. Ram was smiling his best while talking to Vedika, the new face of the business. Priya loved to see Ram smile but he was getting too comfortable with Vedika. She didn’t like it a bit.
“File Sir,” she said as she kept it on the table and left the room.
Sitting in her chair, Priya looked at her reflection in the camera of her phone and then at that model Vedika. She were slim, gorgeous, beautiful, she was so much more beautiful than her. Priya was a little chubby and gorgeousness didn’t come near her. She had average looking features, big eyes, enchanting. But would Ram ever look into her eyes and see bet inner beauty? She didn’t know the answer.
After a while she saw Vedika leave Ram’s room. She took a notepad and started towards his office.
“Sir, we needed to discuss about the Malaysia Deals,” she spoke and Ram gestured her to sit down, engrossed in a file.
"Did you make any notes Miss Sood?" Ram asked after they were joined by the rest of the team.
Priya nodded in affirmation and shared her notes with him. She switched on her phone's recording button, so that she doesn't miss out on any of his instructions. In their first meeting, she kept nodding her head not paying attention to what was being said because of two reasons – first, she was fell head over heals in love with him and second – Ram Kapoor dictated really fast.
As usual, her mind was constantly drifting and noticing his calm, husky but powerful voice, her gaze shifting towards his sensual lips as he kept on instructing her.
"That's all for the time. You may leave now," he said and opened the file he was prior working on.
Priya switched off the recording and quickly got up from the chair, marching towards the door.
"Priya!" She stopped hearing his voice. "Can you get me a cup of coffee please?"
"Yes, sir." She nodded and went to her cabin.
It took her sometime to calm her heartbeat down. Soon, she noticed the coffee machine in the room.
"Sir, your coffee." She said as soon as she entered his cabin.
Ram tried to take the coffee from her hand, still engrossed in the file. His hand slightly brushed with hers, both felt current pass through bodies with the brief contact. Priya dropped the coffee mug to the floor, breaking it.
"I-I'm s-sorry Sir, you are too hot to handle. I mean.. the coffee not you...N-not you S-sir,” she repeated herself.
"Not that you are not h-hot, but the coffee was hotter..." she tried to correct herself, at which he raised an eyebrow, and narrowed his eyes at her.
"I mean the c-coffee, coffee was too hot to handle", as she went on fumbling with the words, she wanted the earth to open and swallow her whole.
Suddenly she saw him walking towards her.
“Relax, Miss sood. It’s fine. Just take care if yourself. I do not want the absence of my only secretary in the office due to some petty accident.”
He winked as he smiled his best. The smile that Priya loved.
"Are you flirting with me?" She asked suspiciously.
Ram smirked again.
"Why, you want me to?" He asked teasing her.
"At least ask me out first!"
Everyone in the cabin turned to look at her shocked.
Khatam! Tata! Goodbye! Gaya!
She blushed crimson and just wanted to resign. But when she looked up at him and saw the faint on cheeks, her heart skipped a bit.
“Sure,” Ram said moving closer to her. “Lets have dinner together. What about tonight? I’ll pick you at 7.”
And he went back to his chair.
“I… I didn’t mean that…” Priya started only to be cut by Ram.
“I mean it. We are going on a date. Go home and get ready.”
But, sir…”
“Go, Priya. I am serious.” He said and found the other people gaping at him.
“What are you guys staring at?Get back to work!”
All of them left the room in a hurry. Priya came out of her senses and tried to leave the cabin as well.
“Priya,” she heard his voice again. “Please wear green, that’s my favorite colour.”
Priya couldn’t believe what just happened. Till morning she was nervous to even look into his eyes and she is going on a date with him in the evening.
7 PM.
It’s time. Ram had said he’ll pick her up at 7 for the date. But Priya knew, he was making fun of her so she didn’t get ready. She didn’t want to break own heart if he didn’t turn up. He won’t turn up, she was sure.
Suddenly her phone rang and her heart started beating faster seeing the caller I’D. It was Ram.
“He… Hello!”
“Come out Priya, I am waiting outside your house.”
