Now on to the update itself! (:
Yes Boss: Part 25 "What the hell..." someone said aloud, making everyone in the finance department look at him. The man pointed at the glass window that he was facing, and as everyone turned to look at it, a collective gasp washed over the department, the biggest contributor being Hemant, the guy who was in Asad's cabin that morning.
Asad and Zoya were sharing a passionate kiss right there, not a care for the world around them. Everyone continued staring at them with their mouths open in gapes as they watched Asad wrap his arms around Zoya's waist and gather her body closer to his, while Zoya laced her fingers through Asad's hair and pulled his head closer to hers, as if that were even possible.
"I thought Mr Khan was... and Miss Farooqui was... But there's no way in hell they could be faking that!" another voice chimed, this time that of a high-pitched young lady. Her voice reached the ears of Asad and Zoya, finally making them pull away from each other as reality set in again. They turned to find the entire finance department watching them expectantly.
"I guess the first rumour about the two of them being in a relationship was the true one," Hemant said disappointedly, as he stared at Zoya poutily, jealousy burning through his veins. Asad pursed his lips, hiding his amusement.
"KYA?! Nahi! Woh..." Zoya retorted when she heard what the man said and finally regained her composure enough to digest what was going on around her. But before she could say anything, she found Asad's hand clamping down on her mouth, before turning casually to everyone staring at them.
"I will fire whoever doesn't get back to work right this instant," Asad addressed the finance department calmly, a wan smile on his face. Everyone quickly scrambled back to their seats, keeping their eyes trained on their documents or computers immediately. Asad's smile grew a little as he watched them give him fleeting, distracted looks, waiting for him to walk away so they could talk to each other. He removed his hand from Zoya's mouth, and laced his fingers with hers as he held onto her hand and guided her away. Mission accomplished!
"Mr Khan, yeh... kya tha...?" Zoya asked cautiously, after they had safely returned to Asad's cabin. Asad let go of her hand as if it were on fire, and then turned away from her, hooking his finger to his collar as he nervously adjusted it.
"Don't get your hopes up Miss Farooqui. I just did that so that this guy from the finance department stops hitting on me. Since you were the one who created this mess for me, it only made sense that you be the one to help me through it," Asad clarified as he stared blankly at the wall, unable to say all that to her face.
"Aap... aap... main... ARGH! You're such an exasperating man! You know what, I give up. I have better things to do, like worry about my plan..." Zoya began to say, deciding that she was tired of Asad's hot and cold behaviour.
"What plan? Dekhiye, I don't need you messing anymore things up. Mrs RK and Miss Narges are coming over to discuss some details with me, and you're going to have to be here in one piece," Asad decided, putting his foot down. Zoya rolled her eyes, and began to walk to the cabin door without answering him.
"It's just during lunchtime, it won't take that long. And it has nothing to do with you at all, so there's no need to overreact. In fact, you can come join us if you feel like. Khush?" Zoya said right before stepping out of his cabin, leaving Asad no chance to response and make her cancel her plans.
Zoya held her hand to her heart, calming her senses as she walked down the corridor after leaving Asad's cabin. She wanted to believe she was calming herself down out of relief for the fact that Asad did not destroy her plan, but she knew it was truly because of the mind-blowing kiss they'd just shared. Although it really did hurt how he just brushed it off as if it was nothing. She flicked away the tiny tear that had formed at the corner of her eye before blinking repeatedly and clearing her mind, striding confidently to the reception area to alert Monica, before walking to Anu's cabin to inform her as well. The plan was on.
"Anu! Chalo! Let's carry out the plan now!" Zoya announced as she walked into Anu's cabin without knocking. Anu nodded distractedly as she lifted her left hand with two fingers up, indicating to Zoya to give her another two minutes, as she continued typing with her right hand. Once she was done, she closed her laptop and smiled brightly at Zoya.
"Chaliye?" Anu asked cheekily as she got up and joined Zoya at the door, linking her arm with Zoya's as they walked out of the cabin together, giggling like school girls. Monica winked at Zoya from the receptionist desk as Anu disappeared into the technical department, and Zoya stood at a pillar nearby, waiting for the show to begin.
"Hi Vijay! How are you? I was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm not really very tech savvy and..." Anu rushed her words out as soon as she walked in, earning a look of suspicion from Vijay. She gulped nervously, hoping she hadn't already blown her cover.
"Aren't you buddies with that Zoya? Why can't you just ask her?" Vijay asked pointedly, with a raised eyebrow. Anu smiled sweetly at him, shuffling her feet uneasily as she tried to come up with something. Gosh, Zoya's plan was actually kind of stupid. Obviously he'd ask her to go to Zoya for help!
"Woh kya hai na, I'm doing something for her! And I want to surprise her. Isliye I came to ask you. So will you help me?" Anu tried again, keeping the smile on her face as Vijay's frown grew deeper. Seeing as Vijay had fallen into deep thought, Anu quickly took the opportunity to casually lean on the desk, and then tip the coffee mug that Zoya had left there on purpose, directly into Vijay's lap.
"HOLY CRAP!" Vijay screamed, as the liquid fell onto his pants. Anu rolled her eyes as he swatted his damp pants like as though he was in agony. Zoya had made sure the coffee had cooled down before putting it there, so Vijay was obviously just hamming it up.
"Oh I'm so sorry Vijay!! Oh dear, oh dear, does it hurt?? Oh my, it looks quite bad you know, on your pants and all, like... I think other people would get the wrong idea. Why don't you get it cleaned before someone sees you??" Anu feigned concern, as Vijay shot a glare at her. She scrunched her forehead up as she pretended to up the concern, and Vijay got up from his seat, growling. He was about to walk to the cabin door, but then stopped to lock his laptop screen first, and then finally strode to the door.
"I'll get the floor cleaned in the meantime! I'M REALLY SORRY!" Anu announced as he opened the door, intentionally yelling and getting Zoya's attention. Zoya quickly hid behind the pillar she was standing at, watching intently as Vijay disappeared into the bathroom. As soon as he did, she ran into the cabin, patting Anu on the shoulder as she walked in. She had to get cracking immediately!
