PART 23

"Geet do you think we should add a wall here?" Adi asked her as they were busy finalizing the design of a project in the conference hall.

"Umm..I think we shouldn't, because then it would look congested"

"Instead we can suggest a half-length partition, it will work as a divider and the hall will also look spacious." Geet explained to Adi as she stood up from the place where she was preparing the documents for presentation.

"Hmm.. great idea." He smiled at Geet acknowledging her hard work as the preparations were now complete.

"Geet, you should now go and have some refreshment while I do all the setup, clients will be arriving any time now."

Geet just nodded at him giving him a smile and left the room.

--------------------------------------

It was not an amusing day for Maan. He was in the office since morning and he had hardly seen Geet around him. Normally, she used to be in her cabin and he could steal a few glances of her across the glass partition. But today she was not there. He stood up from his seat and walked out of his cabin. Pretending to be normal and casual he entered her cabin. As he entered, he realized what he was doing.

"What's wrong with me?" he frowned at himself.

"Why am I being such a restless person?" he scolded himself and was about to turn around to walk out when his eyes fall on Geet's photo lying on the table. As soon as his eyes fall on that photo all his frustration and anger was lost in the air. He moved forward and took the frame in his hand. A slight smile, full of content, crept on his lips.

Right that moment he heard someone opening the door and he quickly placed the photo frame back at its place.

"Sir?" it was Geet who entered the room and was surprised to see him there in her room.

He instinctively brought a stern look back on his face and turned around to face her.

"Geet, how are the preparations for the presentation?" how desperately he wanted her to say his name with the same affection and love as she used to say it before, but he knew that she won't.

"Sir, everything is ready, we're waiting for you and the clients." She told him with a formal smile.

"Hmmm.." he nodded and left the cabin. She stood there for a moment trying to comprehend his behavior today but then remembering the important presentation she was going to give today, she shrugged off her shoulders and went on to her table to collect some of her stuff.

--------------------------------------

The presentation had started and Maan was thoroughly impressed with the work his people had to present to the clients. He was content that he had put his confident in them. And most importantly, Geet, she had been leading this project hence she had been busy for a week now and to top that, today he didn't even get to have her around him. Now seeing her present with so much confident on her face and in her gesture, he was so proud of her. The presentation ended and they received a positive response from the clients who highly appreciated the efforts of the Khurrana team.

After the presentation they all had some light lunch with the clients and the project. Maan had to attend the clients, therefore he, again, couldn't spend some time with Geet. All he could do was to see her chatting with Adi and others while taking lunch. She seemed very cheerful on her success. Maan could hold back his smile seeing her happy.

----------------------------------------------

The busy times were over. Everyone was back to their routines. Geet was back in her cabin when her phone rang. She picked it up to find her boss on the other side of the phone.

"Geet, I need to get some record from the storeroom, I'm heading towards the elevator, quickly join me." It was evident from his voice that it was something urgent. She quickly got up and as soon as she came out of her cabin, she saw Maan walking towards the elevator.

"Sir!" she called him as she almost ran to join him. And the only response from his side was 'No response'. Geet could hardly manage to get into the elevator before its door closed. She took a deep breath to bring it to its normal pace and turned towards him.

"Sir, you could have told me. I would have brought the documents myself."

"Actually, these documents are very important and I would also have to go through some old record, that's why I have to go there myself." He reasoned in a serious tone.

"But sir KC's all record is electronically available, why do you have to go to storeroom." She still couldn't get why he has to go to storeroom.

"Geet, I know what I'm doing. I found some discrepancy in electronic record and I wanted to sort it out. Now please stop making these questions." He kind of got irritated by her questions and his reply was enough to make her quiet.

They both were quiet for the rest of their stay in the lift. But the lift didn't seem to reach its destination. It passed one floor after other and stopped at the last floor up in the building. Geet couldn't figure out where they were when they came out of the lift. She looked around to get some idea of where they two were. Then she heard Maan's voice.

"Geet, hurry up. I don't have much time." He still sounded very serious as he headed towards the stairs.
She wanted to ask him where the hell they were going. She had never been to this part of the office before and a part from that, why did they have to cover some of the distance through the elevator and then use stairs to go further up. But at the moment she couldn't afford to annoy him more, so the only option she had was to follow him, get the work done and then go back to her cabin.

"Why is he showing this much attitude!" she thought as she couldn't keep herself from complaining.
"Let me meet him outside the office, and then I'll see if he can dare to talk to me like this." She had already planned to make him explain his rude behavior.

While making the mental notes, she didn't realize that they had reached the last step of the stairs. As soon as she moved a step forward, she found herself on the well decorated roof top of the building. Green plants adorned the walls there. The mid length boundary walls allowed for a magnificent view of the city and the powerful wind made it all more pleasant. She couldn't speak anything as she took in the beautiful sight while Maan was busy adoring the beauty in front of him.

She moved ahead in a trance towards the wall in front of her while he followed her. He was standing right behind her as she stopped by the wall. Her hair was beautifully flowing with the wind. She closed her eyes to absorb the serenity of the moment. As she opened her eyes, she realized they were standing on the roof top of the building which had more than 50 floors.

"Sir..." She quickly turned around to ask why they were there instead of going to the storeroom but her words were left unsaid by Maan's finger on her lips. She could clearly see his facial expression changed from what they were some minutes ago in the elevator. A slight smile could be seen on his face and a glow in his eyes. She couldn't understand what was going on and he was well aware of her state.

He took his finger off her lips and slowly turned her around making her face the blowing winds. He slowly wrapped one hand around her waist and her hand slowly reached on top of his hand.

"Geet, you don't have to call me sir here. This area is not counted as office and office's rules don't apply here." He whispered in her ear. She could feel the proximity they were sharing. She could feel his breath falling on her ear and her neck. She could feel his heart beating on her back.
