Fantastic update Green! 👏

Achha, first a very serious question about the title! Who exactly is the "Boss" in this story?! 🤣 Can't be Asad after this update!!

AsYa nok-jokh was top-notch as usual. Zoya has an answer for everything! Ya Allah! Zoya is not passing Asad's calls to Ms. Mishra. She must have found out about Anu's "true" intentions!! 😆

Loved the fact that Zoya used her tech skills to catalog the files electronically. Brilliant!!

Stone Age, 17th century, Dinosaur, old fashioned!! Ha! Ha! Zoya ne Asad ko pura buddha bana diya!!

Ha! Ha! Sexual tension! Asad toh gaya!! He is very aware of Zoya and her proximity!!

"Only Zoya Farooqui would have the audacity to call her boss a dinosaur." In spite of this comment, why do I feel that Zoya is the true boss?! 😉

Hahaha shh don't spoil the fun! Boss waise toh main hi hoon, meri story jo hai HAHA. Yeah I know you were unhappy about Zoya being given an assistant job, and I told you then to give it a chance first haha, because yeah I have a whole load more planned :p Glad you liked it!! (:

Ah you guys. If you're gonna ask me for an update so sweetly, main mana karna chahoon toh bhi na kar sakoon! Here you gooo (: Btw, Narges ji (me2you ji), hope you like it :p

Yes Boss: Part 9

"OH! So that's why that strange man was asking me if I knew any Zoya Farooqui that day. Mr Khan is doing all this for this girl just so she can stay in India? How interesting. Aakhir chakkar kya hai dono ke beech?" Monica asked, wriggling her eyebrows at Anu. Anu put her fork down and laughed at her hilarious facial expression.

"I knew I shouldn't have told you the whole story! Mujhe kya pata yaar, I have no idea how they even know each other. Zoya only told me that her visa was expiring so Mr Khan stepped in and helped her to extend her visa. Let's not jump to conclusions about things we do not know!" Anu chided Monica, who just smiled cheekily in return as she picked up her spoon.

"I'm not the one jumping to conclusions! Everyone else is. Everyone knows they travel back and forth from work together, they've all seen her in Mr Khan's car," Monica pointed out defensively. She was about to continue but Anu shushed her as they saw Zoya approach their table.

"Kya yaar Anu, mere bina hi lunch shuru kardiya! Hi, I'm Zoya Farooqui," Zoya introduced herself formally to Monica, extending her hand towards her. Monica too stretched out her hand to shake Zoya's as they exchanged polite smiles.

"Pata hai! I remember from that day when some man was asking me about you. I'm Monica by the way," Monica replied, as Zoya nodded in acknowledgement and took a seat at the table. She turned to Monica with a broad smile.

"I just wanted to say thank you for saving me that day! If you hadn't said that you recognized me, I'd have gotten into quite a fix," Zoya told Monica gratefully, to which Monica laughed heartily, bringing her hand to her mouth to cover it.

"Don't worry about it. I didn't even know I was doing you a favour then, Anu just told me the whole story. So I was wondering..." Monica began to say, but went silent halfway as she felt Anu kick her under the table. She sighed and shrugged at Anu who was giving her a look, turning her attention back to her food. She just wanted to ask Zoya how she knows Asad, but Anu was right, it's not exactly a good conversation starter with a stranger.

"Why don't you get something to eat Zoya?" Anu changed the topic as Zoya stared curiously at Monica, wondering what she was trying to say. She nodded, and then pushed her chair back as she got up to walk to the counter. But her chair stopped moving halfway, making her stumble a little. She turned around to see Asad standing behind her chair, rubbing his thigh a little where her chair had hit him.

"Miss Farooqui, dekhke kaam kiya karo na! Damn, that hit me pretty hard," Asad complained, scowling a little at Zoya. Zoya gasped and moved her chair away immediately, bending down a little as she replaced Asad's hand in rubbing his thigh without thinking. Asad looked up at Zoya's face in shock, knowing full well that he ought to stop her, yet couldn't find the words to. The loud clatter that cut the silence as Monica dropped her spoon on her plate in shock as well finally snapped both Zoya and Asad out of it, making them take careful steps away from each other.

"Woh actually, uh, I forgot to pass you this in the morning. Ammi ne aaj lunch mein specially aapke liye pizza banaya hai," Asad informed her, as he shoved a box in Zoya's hands without warning, looking somewhere above her head as he did. Zoya stared at the box and smiled happily, easily forgetting the awkward moment from before.

"That's so sweet!! Main usse abhi phone karke thank karti hoon," Zoya squealed, as she grabbed her phone and excused herself from the table, walking towards a quieter area so that she could have a private conversation with Dilshaad. Anu and Monica watched her curiously, forgetting completely that Asad was still standing there, watching them stare in that strange manner.

"Ahem! Sorry for disturbing your lunch ladies, please do feel free to continue now. Oh yeah Monica, after lunch, could you send an email out to everyone? I want to have a short staff meeting at four today, in the conference room," Asad put in, cutting their staring session short and dissipating the air of awkwardness that had engulfed the three of them.

Monica nodded quickly in acknowledgement, before turning back to her plate, her face a little flushed. Anu also shot an unsure smile at Asad before picking up her fork again, playing around with the noodles on her plate until Asad turned around and walked away. Monica and Anu looked up from the plates at the same time, as they shared a look of amusement. What was going on between these two?

The day passed by quickly after lunch, and soon everyone had gathered in the conference room at four as requested by Asad. Asad walked in a little after four, walking towards the head of the table before taking a seat there.

"Good evening. Thank you for coming here on time. As you all know, we've all been working hard, contributing in whichever way we can for the new mall project. The client, Miss Narges K Fakhri, was impressed with our first pitch, and she will be coming by tomorrow evening for our final proposal. That'll be our last hurdle to pass before she signs the project, if she likes it. I know we were all reeling from the shock of losing our last major project, but I have a strong feeling we will get this one. I just wanted to thank all of you for all your hard work so far, and the next time we meet, Insha'Allah I will be bearing good news with regards to this project. Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work!" Asad concluded his speech, to a round of loud applause. Zoya joined in the applause, smiling a little. This was a new side of Asad she hadn't gotten to see before, all boss-like and professional. It was definitely refreshing.

"Miss Mishra, a word with you," Asad requested politely, as the rest of the staff began filling out, buzzing with excitement over the project. Zoya stayed too, following behind Anu as she approached Asad. Asad rolled his eyes at her, but knew there was no point in asking her to leave. She seemed to be taking her role as Anu's assistant pretty seriously.

"Miss Mishra, this is the final proposal. Please vet it and then pass it on to... I don't really need to tell you everything, you know how this works. Thank you for your good work!" Asad complimented Anu, patting her on her shoulder. He walked out of the conference thereafter, intentionally failing to acknowledge Zoya's existence. She crinkled her nose in disapproval at his retreating back. And to think she was beginning to see him in a different light.

"Anu, what was he saying? How what works?" Zoya enquired, as the two of them started to walk back to Anu's cabin. Anu held the cabin door open and gestured with her arm to tell Zoya to enter it. Zoya nodded and entered it, Anu close behind her.

"I didn't want to discuss it in the open. After Mr Khan puts the final proposal of any project together, he passes it to me for vetting. After that, depending on what the client wants, I either pass the file back to Mr Khan, or pass it on to the IT guy for him to convert all the hand drawings to a PDF file for the client. In this case, Miss Narges wants the proposal on a CD for her personal viewing, so I'll be passing it to the IT guy once I'm done vetting," Anu explained, as Zoya listened intently.

"Ah okay, so Mr Khan does make use of technology once in a while. And what software does the IT guy use to convert the hand drawings?" Zoya asked, suddenly envious of this nameless IT guy. She would've loved that job.

"Software...? Nah, he just scans Mr Khan's drawings in, and then merges the word files and picture files into one PDF file for the client," Anu explained while shrugging, settling herself down on her seat to start on the vetting.

"KYA?! He SCANS the drawings in?! Oh my, even the IT guy is from the stone ages, no wonder Mr Khan hired him. They must be discussing their favourite dinosaurs in their free time," Zoya muttered as she flopped down on her chair, sorely disappointed that they were even calling the IT guy an IT guy. He didn't deserve that title.

"Wait a minute. Anu, after you're done vetting it, can you pass it to me for vetting as well? Two pairs of eyes are always better than one!" Zoya pleaded, her voice dripping with sugar. Anu narrowed her eyes as she considered Zoya's plea. It seemed like a pretty innocent request. She finally smile and nodded, burying her head back in the file. Zoya controlled herself from grinning too widely once Anu had turned away, but she had no control of the gleam in her eyes. Mr Khan was going to love the end-product, she was sure of it.

Hehehe.

RES!

absolutely Fantastic. This is getting fun day by day. Zoe seems to be taking her job as the Per. assistant seriously & is doing less damage then expected.
