Chapter 8
Next morning Geet reached office again at 8.30. Maan was in his cabin and saw her come in. He called her to his office.
"Geet, I need you to do this work within an hour." He handed her twice the number of files she had yesterday. She knew he was trying to annoy her but she was not going to give him that pleasure. She kept a straight face and said:
"Ok, you want anything else?"
"Yes, black coffee no sugar." Geet nodded and left for her cabin. She started on her work and fifteen minutes later Maan burst into her cabin.
"I told you to bring me my coffee, where is it?"
"You said you wanted some but let me remind you that I will NOT do anything if you don't say please." Geet looked back at her file and sipped coffee.
"Listen, you are my secretary and you will listen to MY ORDER." Maan bellowed.
"I am not doing what you want; I will do what I want. Say please or get someone else to get you a coffee." She said casually. Maan came around and pulled her by her hand. He held her wrist close and said:
"Don't play around Geet; I do not tolerate such behaviour at my office." Geet looked at his hand holding her wrist and shot daggers at him.
"Let go." Her voice was almost inaudible but Maan heard the threat. He let go. He wondered why. But never had he seen such flames in the eyes of someone other than him.
"Mr Khurana let me remind you to remain professional. This time I am letting it be but I will not have you do that again with me. As for your coffee" Geet turned and took a clean mug. She pressed a button on her brand new coffee machine and the delicious smell of black coffee invaded Maan's nostrils. He raised his head to see a beautiful, black DeLongi coffee machine on her shelf.
"Where did this machine come from?" He asked, completely forgetting about Geet's worlds.
"It is mine. I need proper coffee otherwise my mind doesn't work." She gave him the mug.
Geet sat back and continued her work. Tasha came to tell them about the meeting they had this morning. Maan attended it but his mind was with Geet.
Geet smiled. So far her day was going great. She finished with her assigned work and left the files at Maan's desk. She still had half an hour and since Maan was in a meeting she took her phone and called Riya. Geet asked about studies and Riya told that her preparations were going much better now. Armaan had caught a cold and Geet got worried but Riya assured her that she checked on him everyday. Geet made her promise to call if they needed anything.
"Riya, listen. I am sorry." Geet paused.
"Don't be. I know it is not easy for you to handle everything there. Armaan is also ok with it now. He keeps busy with friends and annoying me but he did mention he is missing his tuition classes with you." Both laughed.
"I promise I'll get you both back as soon as I have everything settled. Even I don't like having you two so far away from me." Riya nodded. They hung up. Geet's heart ached and a lonely tear ran down her cheek. The phone rang again, it was Muskaan.
"Geet, Geet. Where are you?" She was panicking.
"Calm down Muskaan, what happened?" Maan entered her cabin.
"Geet" Geet held her hand for him to stay quiet.
"Mrs Batliwala wants to come an hour earlier. We tried to tell her we can't do a meeting so soon but she said she will go to someone else otherwise." Geet looked at Maan and then at the watch. It was 12.05.
"I am coming, make her sit in the conference room and if necessary tell Yash to start. I'll join you as soon as possible." She put the phone down.
"Yes Mr Khurana?" Maan who had been shocked by Geet stopping him said:
"How dare you stop me? Don't you have any manners?"
"More than you do, you were the one who didn't knock and started talking even though you could see I was on the phone." Geet grabbed her bag and made her way out. Maan followed her.
"You are telling ME about manners? Do you know who I am? I am MAAN SINGH KHURANA." Geet turned around when they reached the exit.
"Yes I know you are Maan Singh Khurana, rich, successful and most eligible bachelor of these parts. Girls die to be just around you. But let me tell you that for ME you are simply rude, arrogant, and nothing special. I treat you as you treat me. If you want me to respect you and listen to you, than you will have to do the same." Geet called Raj who drove her with record speed back to MC.
Maan went back to his cabin. He was calm. He shouldn't be. Usually he would have burst or even hit the person talking to him like this but Geet's words has stirred up something in him.
Samira had been his first love. She had been everything he had wanted, beautiful, ambitious, from a good family and he had been everything she had wanted, handsome, rich and resourceful for her modelling career. He was shattered when she broke to him that she was dumping him for her career.
"Maan bhai, you are rich, successful and every girls dream. But they don't dream about you as you dream about them. Girls are not always the same. Some see you and think what a nice guy and most say how much money must be on his bank account." His brother had said to him after Samira had left.
All his life he had been special and he had been proud of it. Today a simple girl came and said he is rude, arrogant and nothing special. Nothing special. This hurt him. Deep down some where it really hurt him.
