Part 7:
Everything around Geet was going on well since the last few days. Even if it wasn't, strangely, Geet was feeling good about everything. She loved everything around her. She couldnt wait to go to office and she would dread it when it was time to go home. She was just content at admiring him from afar. She knew he was a busy man, but her childish hope was that he would come to office everyday so that she could atleast see him, and when he was absent she spent the whole day being restless.
Thinking about him made her smile, but then she had to go back to work. She couldnt spend the whole day drooling over him. Just then, the manager called her to his cabin. He asked her whether she would like to do a small presentation on behalf of the company. Geet was already a nervous wreck. She was just a week into her job. She didnt think she could handle the pressure. She requested the manager to pass on the presentation to somebody else since she was not ready for it and that she would be glad to assist anyone doing the presentation. The manager excused her since it was her first time and he told her that he would let her know how and by whom was the presentation going to be handled.
As soon as Geet left his cabin, the manager called Maan and told him that Geet had refused to do the presentation. Maan had a gut feeling that Geet would excuse herself since she was of a shy nature. But this was not good for his plan. He needed her to be working on this presentation so that he could start his course of action. He needed to talk to her.
*****************************
Geet was busy preparing the marketing sheets when she was told that she needed to see the chairman. At once her heartbeat started racing. Even though she wanted to talk to him from quite sometime, now that he was actually calling for her, she wanted to hide behind something. The very thought of seeing him so closely caused butterflies to invade her stomach.
She slowly made her way to his floor, gathering all her courage which was next to nothing. When she knocked on his door and she heard his voice telling her to come in, her knees almost buckled just hearing his voice.
The moment Maan saw Geet, his burried demons made thier way into his head. From the past few days he couldnt stop thinking about her. The very thought of her made him so hard, that he had to diffuse the energy radiating in his body by a vigorous session of tai chi. He couldnt remember being so lust filled ever since he was a teenager. He knew she was head over heels over him but he couldnt just drag her to the bedroom. He needed her to trust him, he needed her to accept him wholly and totally so that he could stike at the right moment.
He realised he was staring at her and he asked her to sit down and averted his gaze to the files lying on his table.
"Geet, do you want to achieve something in life or are you content with a nine to five job?" Maan asked her whilst going through the files. Geet looked at him confused. She didnt have a clue about what was going on.
"I was informed that you refused to do a small presentation when i am well aware that you are more than capable of doing it!" Maan closed the file and looked at her intently.
Geet just could not meet his eyes so she looked down. Suddenly she felt his prsence as he took a seat next to her. He gently lifted her chin and made her look at him.
"Geet, if it was anybody else i would not bother, but you are not anybody else for me and everything that you do affects me. Do you know how disappointed i was when you refused to do the presentation? I know you are of a very quiet nature but that should not prevent you from show casing your talent. I know you are capable of achieving great heights and it was my idea to give you the presentation. But i'm sorry, i think you do not have any respect for me. I get the point and that is perfectly fine with me." Maan was about to get up when Geet held his hand.
"I'lll do the presentation. I could never let you down and as for respect, i have known the true meaning of respect only ever since i've met you sir. You have everything in you and more, people just cant help but respect you. I wont let you down. I will try my best to do the presentation." Geet smiled at him.
Maan took her hand in his and whispered a thank you, looking deep into her eyes and Geet thought she was already melting. A phone call made her remove her hand from his and she knew she was dimissed when Maan looked at her once he picked up the call.
Once Geet was out of his cabin, Maan asked his informers about the current state of affairs in hoshiarpur. They informed him that according to sources, her family was searching a boy for her, since her grandfather and brother were adamant about it since it was a custom that young girls could not be kept away from home that too for long and the faster they get settled, the better.
Maan felt a burning rage as he dropped the phone. He knew he had to work fast lest all his plans came to a standstill.
***********************
Geet was preparing for the presentation with full zeal and enthusiasm. His words were constantly repeating in her mind and she felt her heart would burst with joy when he said that she was not anybody else for him.
There was a team helping her on the project and with thier help she got the presentation prepared within a week.
Finally the day of the presentation arrived.Geet was informed that the venue was at the five star hotel. Geet wondered why such a small presentation was at a five star hotel. But she ignored the fact and just made her way to the hotel along with the other employees.
She entered the huge conference hall and started connecting her laptop to the projector keeping the power point presentation ready.
One by one the business men started entering and Geet was already getting nervous by the increasing number. How was she to do the presentation in front of so many people? She was about to go out for some fresh air when her breath of fresh air entered the hall. His very presence filled her with a renewed confidence. As he entered the hall, everybody stood up, and only after he took his seat did they sit.
Geet looked at him nervously but Maan just smiled at her and lifted his thumb slightly and wished her luck. That was all that Geet needed. The lights dimmed and Geet began her presentation.
The presentation went on for about an hour and Geet was extremely happy by the end of it. When the lights turned on she expected people to be smiling but instead, everybody just looked at her. Soon different people started bombarding her with questions, few of which Geet was able to answer but most of which she did not have a clue about.
The members in the hall looked unconvinced. They were not impressed with her and she could see it. She looked at Maan but he just looked down. The very thought that he was disappointed with her brought tears to her eyes.
A break of fifteen minutes was entered during which Geet entered the refresh room unable to control herself. Hid head was down, all because of her. The very thought made her hate herself. He trusted her enough to give her a presentation so early in her career and she had ruined it. She was crying continuosly when she felt a hand on her shoulder and he made her face him.
She just dipped her head. She did not have the courage to face him. He gently lifted her face by her chin and made her look at him.
"I'm so-orr-y s-i-r. I did-app-ointe-d you. I ru-i-n-ed the pr-e-senta-tion." Geet said in between sobs and Maan just placed his finger on her lips while his other hand wiped her tears.
"Don't you think you assume too much?" Maan asked her with a smile and Geet looked at him confused.
"Who told you that i am disappointed? Nobody, not even i could do such a presentation at your stage. I'm impressed with your dedication and hard work. Those people in the boradrooms are jerks. They cant stand a young female employee give a good presentation and their only chance of showing you down is by asking unreasonable questions. You are the best and dont let anybody else tell you otherwise." Maan said it with such conviction that Geet could only stare at him.
He still saw the tears cascading down her cheeks so he gently sucked her tears and placed a small peck on her lips.
"Trust me and everything will be alright. I expect you in the conference hall after the break." Saying he disappeared and Geet was left staring at his retreating back.
*************************
When Geet entered the conference hall she felt a strange air of confidence surrounding her. The meeting resumed with another round of questions but everything stopped when Maan SIngh Khurana got up.
"I think Miss Handa has had enough for today so if you dont mind, i would like to answer all your questions on her behalf since she is new and for her calibre she has done extremely well. So i would like to continue from here.
The members suddenly became nervous but one look from him had them asking him questions reluctantly and his style of answering just ahd them spell bound. Now they knew why he was called the great business tycoon. With no more questions left to ask the deal was signed and everybody present congradulated Geet as Maan led her out.
She heard some people whispering," Who is this girl who makes the great Maan Singh Khurana stand up for her?" and she felt proud on hearing those words but she did not hear the other people whispering, "probably another gold digger set to impress him with her beauty and charms, but that sad thing is that he will use and then bin her when she is no longer required." saying, they laughed behind her back.
****************************
It was night when they were leaving the venue and Geet decided that she would catch a taxi and directly return to her hostel. The days events had her exhausted. all she wanted to do was fall on the bed and dream about him. She never had anyone standing up for her and the way he stood up for her today made her heart swell with love for him.
She was walking towards the taxi stand when a long black car stopped beside her. He got out of the car and stood beside her, towering her with his huge form. "May i ask to where is the budding business woman headed?" he asked with a smile to which she smiled and replied, "To the hostel. It has been a long day."
"I was in a mood to celebrate the success of somebody who won me over today by her presentation. Care to join me for dinner to celebrate her success?" He asked her teasingly and Geet was just drowning in him. Without her knowing, he led her to the car and made her sit in besie him.
All the while when Maan was driving, Geet couldnt help but look at him in awe. How could a man as great as him be so humble and down to earth while at the same time so caring and understanding? Was he for real? And what had she done to even get to know him, forget going to dinner with him!
The car stopped atop a hill with a beautiful resort facing the city and the river flowing on the other side.
Maan gently placed his hand on Geet's waist and Geet was very consious of people looking at them. Maan had booked a corner table facing the beautiful view and Geet just stared at him in awe as he ordered food for her and himself. As they began eating Geet was extemely shy and couldnt utter a word but Maan made her very comfortable by talking to her and soon they started talking about everything and nothing in general.
After Maan paid the bill they were about to sit in the car when Maan asked Geet if they could walk along the river bank for sometime.
The river bank was just illuminated by moonlight and the silvered gleaming water added a beautiful touch to nature.
They just walked along the river bank silently and slowly Geet dipped her feet in the water. Suddenly she remembered the humiliation which he faced because of her earlier in the day and tears started gliding down her cheeks.
Maan turned her to himself. "Did i disappoint you with the presentation?" Geet asked him looking into his eyes with pain.
Maan took her hands in his. "You did not disappoint me with your presentation, but you are definetely disappointing me now with your tears. If there is anything i cannot bear to see, that is you being sad. I almost killed myself when i saw you scared and hurt at the presentation today. If i knew what was coming, i would not have given you the responsibility. But you did extremey well and i am proud of you. " He whispered softly against her ears and then kissed away her tears.
Geet closed her eyed and her lips parted as Maan gently sucked her lips. He took her lower lip in his mouth and bit it and tears of pain and pleasure wetted her cheeks. When Maan felt her tears on his cheeks he roughly pulled her by the waist. " I told you dont cry. I dont like it when people dont listen to me. I make them pay, and you will have to pay."
Geet did not even realize what was happening as Maan clutched her hair and pulled her back as he bit her neck and licked at the small drops of blood. Geet held on to his shoulders tightly as he removed her dupatta with his free hand and started kissing her roughly, licking his way to her cleavage. Geet felt a moan escape her as Maan made her lie down on the sand and got on top of her. Before she knew it, he was thrashing her mouth with his tongue while his hand pulled up her thigh and wrapped it around himself. Geet entwined her fingers in his hair and pulled at it as his hands made thier way under her kurthi and began pressing her breasts vigorously.
Maan was possessed. He could not rationalize his thoughts as he tore away the zipper of her kurthi and unclasped her bra hook. Geet came back to her senses and tried pushing him off her but he was like iron. He peeled her top off her shoulders as he began his insane attack over her flesh.
Geet's resistance was becoming weaker and weaker as he sucked the exposed part of her cleavage leaving his mark on it. Of its own accord her legs encircled his waist, enclosing his manhood within her heated softness. They rolled into the shallow water, while Maan continued to assault her senses. All Geet could do was moan continuously as Maan made her his victim.
As the water touched thier bodies Geet realized the full proximity of what they were doing. "Maan Sir" she screamed as she pushed him away with all the force she could muster and he fell into the water.
Geet stood horrified as she watched Maan fall into the water but he came out of the water the next minute. Geet looked away from him as pulled up her salwar to cover herself decently. Maan was seething but he controlled himself and put his coat around her torn clothes.
"I'm sorry. It shouldnt have have happened, but i just lose myself around you. I am sorry." he made her face him but she just looked away from him and ran towards the car.
The drive back to her hostel was silent with Geet still not able to cope with what had happened. She had allowed a man to touch her intimately before marriage? Her family would kill her if they even got a clue. How could she face herself? How could she just lose herself like that?
The car came to a stop outside the hostel and she mechanically got out of the car and entered the hostel without even once looking at him.
****************************
Dammit! Maan slammed the mirror of his bathroom as soon as he reached home. All his hardwork for today had gone down the drain simply because the animal inside him had to find its release at an inopportune moment. But oh boy! wasnt it as sexy as hell? Just thinking about it made him want to barge into her hostel room and rip her clothes to pieces. But first things first! He had to make it up to her for behaving in such an animalistic way.
Coming to the day's events, it had gone on just the way he planned. First he purposely gave her the presentation and then he had sent some of his men to merge some very tough questions along with the questions which the other members would ask so that Geet would not be able to answer them and then feel disappointed. Then he went and gained her trust totally before taking over the presentation from her and handling it himself. He was never a fan of helping others, nor did he help her today. He handled the situation for his own benefit which would come in very handy in the further execution of his plans. He needed some influential people to interpret the situation and from the look on thier faces, they just guessed right. He gave a mental pat to himself for executing his plans to perfection.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he recieved a call and switched on his laptop. In his email were photos of thier hot little romantic moment today. The photographer he had hired indeed did a fabulous job clicking the pictures while not even let anyboby feel his presence. He did not mean to go so far with her today, but then he was a male not used to waiting for its prey. He went through all the pictures again and again, satisfying his sick desires for the moment. Then he saved the pictures for future use and closed his laptop.
Convincing Geet would not be that hard. Quickly his mind formulated another plan and he knew just what he had to do without having to wait any longer to first quench his maddeningly crazy thirst for her.
