Chapter 5

Next morning Geet was working with Adi and Vicky. Pinky had told Adi about the evening and he was concerned. Vicky on the other hand couldn't stop laughing. He wondered what would happen if Maan found out who she really was.

Geet never attended press conferences or parties. She made a point of sending Adi or Vicky or both if necessary. She never liked the lime light, it made her uncomfortable. Hence it happened that no one really knew much about the MD of MC. Even in the office she made a point of being addressed as Geet and not ma'am or miss. She wanted to be less professional but friendlier with her staff so they would be more comfortable working together. It was Saturday so only half day. Geet had surprised everyone with this news as they were used to working six days out of seven. But Geet had insisted on permanently cutting half a day on Saturday. She knew many people had family and needed the time. Even she craved to be with Riya and Armaan. Both were doing well. Riya topped her class in her last exams and Armaan passed science. She had fallen for this cute child the first time she had met him. Armaan and Riya were both Sohan's siblings. Riya was eighteen and Armaan only eight. Riya could always focus on studies but Armaan never even managed to sit on a chair for more than ten minutes. Geet had, on Sohan's request, tried to teach Armaan science. The results had been amazing. Geet, being a kid at heart herself, had explained everything with relation to Armaan's favourite topics. This is how he stayed focused and learned, too.

Maan had asked Dev for his secretary. Dev gave him the appointment letter and Maan frowned.

"This isn't the girl who was here yesterday. This one is fired. Not showing up on the first day is not acceptable." Dev shook his head. He had lost count of Maan's secretaries. Maan remembered that she had talked to Pinky. He called her.

"Pinky, who was the girl with you yesterday." Pinky gulped.

"My friend Geet, sir."

"Ok, do you have her number or address?" Pinky nodded.

"Then give it to me." Pinky hesitantly scribbled down Geet's mobile number.

"Wha.. what do you need it for?" Pinky asked scared.

"She is really good; I want to offer her a job at KC." Pinky's jaw dropped.

"I don't think she can do it. She already has a job." Pinky managed to say.

"Doesn't matter, I'll offer her more. Now go." Pinky rushed to the reception and dialled Geet's number which was coming engaged. She called Adi and told him. Adi panicked, this was not good. He looked for Geet and saw her talking on her phone.

Adi entered her cabin as she cut the call.

"Geet, I have to warn you..."

"He just called and offered me a job as his secretary." Geet couldn't help but laugh. It was a whole hearted laugh which she had missed herself for months.

"What did you say?" Adi sat down happy to see his friend getting back to normal.

"I said I am very happy with my current position and will not accept any offers what so ever. You had to hear him roaring. I really pity him. Seems he is far too dependent on his secretary." Adi chuckled, too. He remembered how Maan always needed a secretary and kept firing them as soon as he got one.

Maan called Pinky again.

"Pinky, where does Geet work?"

"Mishra Constructions" Pinky said nervously. This was so not good. DD was about to find out who Geet was and she wouldn't be spared either because she had known all about it. Maan's temper rose.

"Oh, so this is why she is not accepting my job offer. She is secretary to MD of a rival company. Now I will see how she doesn't work for me. You can go." Pinky couldn't believe that DD thought Geet was a secretary.

Maan called Geet again. He offered her much more money, more vacation even her own car but Geet refused. He asked Geet why she didn't accept; after all he was willing to give her what she demanded.

"I prefer working at Mishra Constructions because the working environment suits me more. More over let me tell you that I compared to other people am not materialistic. I don't need money that is why your offer is not really of my interest. Now if you would excuse me, I have work to do." Geet cut the call and Vicky looked at her. He could at this very minute see the image of Maan Singh Khurana, getting up in anger that a mere girl had not only rejected his offer but also hung up on him. This is just what was going on in Maan's cabin.

"GEET, I am not going to let go of this." He took his car and drove to MC. He saw everyone leaving and looked at his watch. It was only lunch time now, why were they packing up?

Geet had gone to her apartment and searched for something eatable. After days she actually felt like having a proper lunch. But to her dismay, both the fridge and vegetable rack were empty. She changed to her casuals and took her basket. She considered whether to take her car but then thought otherwise. Sohan had made sure that she lacked nothing. He had loved her and always promised to keep her as his princess. She had a big house, cars, servants, money till no end and now even a great company yet she was ready to give away everything if just Sohan could come back to her. The thought brought a tear into her eyes as she left MC and she wiped it away. She hadn't walked more than a dozen steps when she was forcefully pulled into a car.

Maan had seen Geet come out and wipe her tears. She looked unhappy.

"Why were you crying" he asked her angrily.

"What sort of way do you call this, hmm? Is this a way to behave?" Geet asked back.

"Even a blind person can see that you are unhappy here so why don't you just quit and join me?"

"Unhappy, do I look unhappy to you?"

"Of course. And what is it with this basket?"

"I was going grocery shopping."

"Where?" Maan wondered. There were no markets around this place.

"The vegetable market, where else. And what is it to you what I do?"

"There is no vegetable market for another 2 km around here."

"Yeah, I know."

"You intended to WALK all the way?" Geet nodded. Maan's eyes widened in shock.

"Why were you going during office hour anyways? Don't you have work?"

"Other MC staff have half day on Saturday but you are right, I do have a lot to do, so I will leave now."

"Not so fast" Maan looked the doors.

"Why do you still have to work when others can go home? Oh I see your MD is keeping you here to do over time and to get you to do grocery shopping for him" Maan said before Geet could say a word.

"Can't you see he is misusing you and god knows what else is going on in his mind. You should really give up this job." Geet tried to be patient. For days now she had dealt with the most difficult situations in her life, yet this man was giving her a hard time by simply not wanting to listen to her. She wondered what to do to get rid of him.

"What do you want?" She finally asked him.

"First, apologize for hanging up on me and second be my secretary." Maan sat back and crossed his arms over his chest. Geet closed her eyes with her free hand.

"What if I say no?"

"I am not letting you out of this car." He replied calmly.

"You don't know who I am, do you?" She asked him, looking straight into his eyes.

"I don't care. All I know is that I want you as my secretary and that is what I will get."

"You will mind even being with me in the same car if you would know who I am."

"I said I don't care." Geet thought for some time. She had after Sohan's death given up her old life completely. She remembered her job she had before marriage. The memories brought a smile on her face. Maybe this was her chance to get her life back to a little normality. She had promised Sohan to try and she wanted to do her best.

"Fine, but there are a couple of things we need to set clear. First, I am not apologizing. Second I can only work Monday to Friday from 9 to lunch, after that I need to be free. Third you will give it in writing that you do not mind who I am as I don't want any drama later on and third I can quit whenever I want but you can't keep me as long as you wish." Maan looked at her with interest now. He had never in his life seen someone talk to him like this. It was always him putting demands and now this girl made such a fuss for the post of secretary.

"How will you work only half day? There is so much to be done."

"Not my problem, accept or look for someone else." Geet folded her hands over her chest, too and gave a little smile which had the hint of mischief in it. Maan didn't notice.

"Ok, let's go then."

"Where? You are forgetting today is Saturday so my day off from you."

"I know, but I want you to sign the contract now as I fear you might change your mind over the week end."
