Chapter 14

"Sohan Mishra is the current owner and MD of Mishra Constructions" Dev held a piece of paper in front of Maan. Maan had asked Dev to find out about MC since he was curious but too busy to do it himself.

Maan looked at the photo of Sohan. Young and handsome he surely was and as MC was doing well so probably rich, too. At this point many minds would do this: young and handsome guy has beautiful and talented girl working for him, what does that result to??? We all know. Maan being one of those people thought the same. There was something fishy.

1. Geet was always around MC
2. Geet wouldn't give up her job there no matter what he tried
3. Even though he was sure Geet was still MC, Adi had lied and said she had gone home. Why?

Geet had dropped on her bed the minute she entered her room and slept for the whole day and the next. Even after waking up she still felt tired. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she took it out. There were multiple texts and missed calls from Maan. She groaned. Her head was spinning and the position she was sleeping in was causing her major back pain.

She read the text, most of which asked her where she was and why she hadn't turned up for work. She looked at the calendar in her phone and realised that she had slept so much. She quickly texted Maan back apologising. Maan had returned from dinner and saw the text.

M: Why weren't you there?

G: I slept through the entire day and the next

M: Are you sure you aren't ill? How about you go to a doctor?

G: No need I just give my work a little too much priority. But in a few days I will have more time

M: How come?

G: I am leaving KC, remember?

M: Why don't you leave MC? I know you still work there.

There was a little pause before he received her reply.

G: I am not leaving MC not matter what. In case you have forgotten, it was you who had insisted on me being your secretary. You even locked me up in your car because I refused.

M: That was because you are amazing at your work and I always have the best people working for me. With you at KC we can aim much higher.

G: That is the reason I am not willing to leave MC.

There was a loud crash as Maan threw his phone at the wall. There was a tug of war going on between KC and MC about Geet but what he disliked most was the fact that Geet was being partial. It was 2 against one.

"Fine Geet, if you want to play hard to get then I will also show you what I can do."

Next morning Geet was summoned to Maan's cabin. He held a piece of paper in front of her and told her to fill it out.

"No need to go back to your desk you can do it here." It was her details. The paper she had never really filled in when she had started to work here.

When she finished he read it. Her name was filled in as Geet Handa. She had also provided him with address and her mobile number. He wasn't really interested in the rest. Geet asked him for the work she had to do for the day.

Maan had spent most parts of last night thinking about a way of making Geet dependant on him and the job she had at KC. It took him some time to find a solution. Geet was addicted to work, that is she liked to work. If MC couldn't offer her work anymore than she would have to stay.

"Geet, I have set up a meeting today. You need to be present. We have as you may know a new competition and I want all my senior employees to give ideas on how we can stay on the top." Geet sighed loudly. Her sighing and the look she gave Maan told him that she knew what he was playing at.

"You want me to tell you how to beat MC, knowing I work there. Not a bad idea I must say. Let me think. Why do you want to do that?" She animatedly rubbed her chin with one hand and put on a thinking face.

"I work for both companies. I am not willing to leave MC but yes I can leave KC any minute. If KC does much better than MC and MC loses its face or even worse, loses its clients and has to shut down than I will have to join KC full time as this is the only job that I will be left with, right."

Damn it, she is incredibly clever' he thought.

"Thank you" Geet said smiling.

"What for?" Maan asked.

"For thinking that I am clever." Maan was caught as Geet had read his thought.

"Mr Khurana, you are too predictable. Let me tell you something. MC is not only an office for me; I have many personal matters attached to it. There are things I do not wish to talk about, neither to you or to anyone else. And I am incredibly stubborn when it comes to that. When I say I won't leave MC then I won't. If you want to ruin it, then fine I can't stop you either, but with MC down I won't join KC, even if this was the only place that offered me a job." Maan looked at Geet. She was clam and had a smile on her face but he recognised a hint of sorrow and bitterness. His plan had failed even before putting it into action. He couldn't force her as such, she was extremely head strong. But it might be possible another way. He threw his hands up in the air.

"I give up Geet. You are right. I did want to do just that. But what is it about MC that you don't wish to leave it?"

"It is not something, it is someone." Maan felt his heart was being stabbed. He thought about Sohan. He might be the reason why she was not leaving. He didn't push on since he knew he was at this stage only her boss but that he intended to change that very soon. A little idea came into his mind. He asked Geet for a coffee. She went to her cabin rather than the pantry and got it. When she returned he handed her a random file and in the process knocked out the mug which spilled its contents all over Maan's hand.

"I am so sorry, I ..." Geet was shocked as Maan's hand had turned dark red because of the burn. She did the only thing she knew and grabbed Maan's hand and pulled it gently towards his cabin's bathroom. She held it under the cold water tap for ages as it seemed to Maan. He enjoyed her possessive grip as Maan had tried to pull his hand out but she tightened her grip.

"Stay put and no moving." She ordered him. Then she ran to her room and got a tube for burns.

"You keep this tube with you?" he asked. His hand was alright but he had contorted his face in fake pain so she would tend to it.

"Yeah, for emergencies. Is it still burning?"

"Yes, a little." He didn't over do it as she might send him to the hospital.

"Are you not going to put a bandage around my hand?"

"No, you need to let fresh air onto it. Otherwise it won't heal properly."

"Well in that case I have a serious problem. I can't do any work." Geet looked worried. Maan chuckled inwardly. She had seen through his plan about MC but didn't see through this. Well Miss Handa, I am not that predictable after all', he thought.

"I know what to do. I can get you someone to help out." She was going to dial a number when Maan stopped her quickly.

"No. I don't want help from outsiders. These are confidential issues we deal with. But how about you do my work? I'll tell you what to do and you can do it."

"Ok, I think this if fair. Let me tell Adi I won't come to MC today."

Maan put on a victorious smile which Geet didn't see.
