Part 12Siddhant went to his cabin and was thinking deeply for a while. Then he called Roli in the intercom..
Sid: Ms. Roli...
Roli: Yes Sir..
Sid: Today also you call everyone to the conference room to discuss on the new order..
Roli: Ok Sir.. Am i need to order the sweet sir?
SId: Ms. Roli, It is not procedural in our office to distribute sweet before meeting. We distributed it yesterday as we got new order. Ok.
ROli: Ok Sir..
SId with a smile disconnected the line.
Roli called the department heads and informed about the meeting in the conference room.
In few minutes all gathered in the conference hall.
Siddhant was still in his room monitoring what Roli is doing to attend the meeting as this time no Sweet distribution and she cant get in with that idea.
Roli was in full tension & thinking, what he is going to discuss on the order. How can I know about that details if i stay here? No sweets also to try getting in with those sweet boxes like yesterday. But i need to do something to get in & see what is happening?
Roli after few minutes of deep thinking got an idea and called the dining hall number where office assistant lift the phone.
Siddhant immediately watched where she is calling as no one else in the office was in their places and all were gathered in the conference hall for the meet. At last he found the other end of the phone pick up at dining hall. Siddhant got it and with a smile he went to start the meeting.
Siddhant after occupying his seat in the conference hall was looking at others face who were wondering what he got today to discuss as yesterday only big discussion happend on the new order.
Siddhant was waiting for Roli to get into the room and in few minutes as he expected she entered with the help of office assistant with tray full of tea cups to distribute to all.
Siddhant got a smile seeing her idea to get in. If someone else in that place, he might have asked 'who told you to order tea for all when just all finished their lunch and there is time for having tea' But now he too wish her to get into the meeting room with some or the other way. So he kept quiet.
Roli stood in a corner and started noticing what he is telling in the meeting...
Sid: Good afternoon Friends! I know all will be wondering what this person got today to discuss after detailed lecture on the order yesterday. But now i called you all to just inform..
Sid paused a while and looked at her with a smile and continued.
SId: The first step of sketching of the design as per order requirement need to be finished within this week. I dont want the designers to work on same design together and waste the time. Individually you all can try your own ideas as per the requirement details given by me yesterday. We will gather here again after a week to check on the designs prepared by everyone and then decide which design we will proceed with.. Hope you all got what i am tring to say..
All staffs: Yes Sir...
Sid: Well. You can start your work and lets gather again by next week same time..
All staffs: Thanks sir.
Roli left the room and reached her place.
She was thinking, now let me too complete the designs within this week and see myself how others are designing for this order. Let my design will be used or not. But I can decide myself how good i am when compared to these experienced designers.
Roli started working on the design more sincerely.
She forgot the time also and was continuing her design even after other staffs left the office at 6 PM.
Siddhant looked at the watch and found the time as 6:45, but wonder why ROli is still not left when the whole office is empty leaving Siddhant & one office assistant alone in the office as usual. But Roli too left yesterday and he wonder for what she is staying till now today.
Siddhant took his bag and went near her while he noticed she is busy in the design. Siddhant did not want to reveal her that he is aware of herself doing the design and step backward a little.
Sid: Ms. ROli.. Do you wear watch?
Roli closed the book swiftly and her eyes widened and tension filled her face. She was worried whether he has seen her making designs instead of taking care of Receiptionist job.
Roli: SIr. Yes Sir.
SId: Then why you are not using it. You neither check the time in the lunch time nor now. What is the time now?
Roli urgently look for the time and found as 6:45 which she did not realise till now.
Roli: SIr it is 6:45
SId: That is known to me and not to you. What were you doing till now when all the staffs already left?
Roli: SIr Just updating the register.
Sid: Oh! Anyway. Whatever be the work finish it on time and leave home.
Roli: Ok Sir.
Sid: How will you go daily?
Roli: By bus Sir
SId: Now it is already late. Come with me. I will drop you.
Roli: No SIr. I will go by bus.
SId: Ms. ROli, its ok. I am going that way only and i can drop you on the way.
Roli: But Sir why you take pain for me.
Sid: I am not going to carry you and only car will. SO no pain. You can come with me.
Siddhant did not wait for her further reply and rushed towards the car.
Roli with some sort of hesitation pack her bag and went behind him and get into Car back seat.
Sid: Madam, Am I looking like your Driver?
Roli: No SIr.
Sid: Then Can you come to front seat.
Roli: Ok SIr.
Roli got down from back seat and get into front seat
Roli & SIddhant started their first journey together in the car...
