lemme know how it was and i apologise if it isnt good enough 😊
Geet stopped and listened, her heart beating wildly. Had she heard an elevator stop? She waited in the gloom of the empty room, but she didn't hear another sound. She was all alone in an executive office at MK Constructions & Co., and it was definitely after hours. The building was deserted.
She squinted into the dim light. Did they call this breaking and entering? Well, entering, anyway — entering handsome director of legal services Maan Singh Khurana's office when she shouldn't even be on this floor.
"Just look for a green folder with a plastic clip at the top," Payal had told her, anxiously wringing her hands. "If you can manage to bring that folder to me, you'll save my life!"
"And risk losing my own in the process," Geet murmured after bumping into a sharp corner and bruising her knee. She clicked on the little flashlight she'd brought along and shined the feeble beam around the walls, looking for the filing cabinets. A ray of light fell on a picture of Maan Singh Khurana, the owner and president of the accounting firm and she paused for a moment, studying it.
But it was silly for her to be thinking that way. She'd seen the man from a distance, but she didn't know him at all. And from what her sister, who had worked as his administrative assistant for a short time, had told her, he was as vain and arrogant as they came. Still, there was something in his eyes.…
A small clicking sound made her jump, but it was just the air-conditioning system coming on and she collected herself. She had to get this done!
Quickly, she moved toward the wooden filing cabinet, hoping the drawers weren't locked. The first drawer pulled open with no problem, but the orderly files didn't include any hint of green. She tried the second drawer, then the third, and finally hit pay dirt. There it was, right at the back behind the tightly packed folders.
She reached out to take it and her fingers actually touched the clip for a fraction of a second. And then a larger, darker hand grabbed hers. Her flashlight went flying and she let out a shriek.
"Looking for something, Payal?"
The lights came on and the room spun as she whirled. Her gaze rose, taking in the impeccable Italian suit, the crisp white shirt, the extravagantly wide shoulders, the smooth, tan skin…and finally stared up into Maan Khurana's fiery brown gaze.
