Part 4Siddhant with a smile turned against her and marched towards his cabin receiving the 'Good Morning' from all the staffs leaving the shocked Roli in the reception.
Siddhant after entering into his Cabin occupied his Seat. He remembered the discussion happened with the Receptionist few minutes before and got smile on his face.
Siddhant lift his face to look at the TV which was showing the images of all the CCTV fixed in various places. He selected the image of the Reception and looked into it.
Roli who was terribly shocked just sat down on her chair. Her face turned pale and was looking confused thinking what will happen now!! She looked at the statue of Lord Ganesha & hold her hands together. She prayed to help her in coming out of this. She started biting her nails in tension. Her eyes were wondering here & there.
Roli (to herself): Roli what you have done? You went to hold your MD itself from getting into the office. Not sure what will happen now. What if he dismiss me from office in anger?
In few minutes she console herself.
Roli (to herself): But that is not my mistake. I dont know he is the MD. Also i am new. Hope he will understand. What if he is not sort of person who did not understand others?
Roli was totally confused on what is going to happend? How he is going to react? She was pressing her finger of one hand by the other out of tension.
Siddhant who was noticing all her action though not able to hear was laughing. He called the HR through intercom.
Sid: Ms. Hema, Can you please come to my cabin.
HR: Yes Sir...
Hema rushed towards his cabin leaving all the tasks as it is. She entered into his cabin with an 'Excuse me Sir'
Sid: Ms. Hema, Is this girl new to the office?
HR: Yes Sir.
Sid: Can you please talk something more than Yes Sir and brief me what happend to the old staff and when she joined?
HR: Yes Sir. Sir the old staff suddenly resigned her job telling her marriage got fixed and going to her native and got relieved yesterday itself. As there was urgency without your confirmation this girl was selected before 3 days and working since 2 days. I did this so that the old staff can handover the work to this girl before leaving. Sorry sir.
Sid: Its Ok. I do understand. You can go.
Hema rushed out of the room as if she was waiting for the moment to go outside.
Siddhant looked at the TV again. He called the reception number through intercom.
Roli took the phone with full of tension in her mind and did not realise the call is not outside call and it is through intercom.
Roli: Hello! Bharatwaj Interior designers.
Sid: Hello!
Roli: How can I help you Sir?
Sid: By coming to my cabin.
Roli: Your cabin. I cant get you sir.
Sid: Shall I come there and give my card again so that you can get what i am talking.
ROli now realised she did the same mistake again. Now she looked into the caller ID and noticed the display showing MD.
Roli: Coming Sir!!!
Roli (to herself): Oh God! Roli you again repeated the mistake. Not even looked at the display before lifting the phone. Now why he is calling to his cabin. Is he going to tell me to go out. ANyway i need to face whatever happen. Let me go & see..
Roli collected her courage to some extent and tiptoed towards his cabin..
Roli knocked the door and slightly opened to ask..
Roli: May I come in Sir...
Sid: Come in..
Roli entered into his cabin full of tension on her face. She was unable to understand what to tell now. Whether to ask sorry before he ask something or wait for him to talk.
Few minutes went in silence as he was only looking at her facial expressions and body gestures. ROli was unable to take the tension more and finally she opened her mouth...
Roli: Sorry Sir. Firstly for not identifying you as our MD and hold in the entrance and secondly not seen the display of the phone and understand you are calling through intercom. But Sir. I am new to this company & only joined 2 days back. Also for past 2 days the other Receptionist only was handling and i was only looking at what she is doing. Today is almost my first day into handling the desk. That is why. If you still feel i have committed big mistake. I am ready to accept whatever punishment you give.
Sid chuckled and continued to look at her.
Roli was waiting to know what punishment he is going to giver her. After a while...
Sid: You have not answered my question yet.
Roli: Which question Sir? You did not ask any question till now since i entered this cabin.
Sid: Question was not asked here. It was asked in the reception.
Roli: Sorry sir. In the tension. I dont remember anything. What is that sir?
ROli asked keeping her face innocent.
Sid: May I know your name please? When i asked this you said..
Roli interrupted: Sorry sir i thought my name is not required for outsider to know. Thats why.
SId: Ok Well. Can i know you name now?
Roli: Roli Divedi.
Sid: Ms. Roli, order some food.
Roli: Food for what Sir
Sid: Food to eat. for what else.
ROli: Sorry. For whom Sir.
SId: Ms. ROli, I do order food for me only & not for you.
ROli: What can I order?
Sid: Veg Fried Rice.
ROli: Where can i order?
Sid: Oh God! Ms. ROli. It is better i will order my food myself.
ROli: Sorry SIr. I will order myself.
Roli rushed to her seat and looked at Telephone index for any number of near by hotel. Fortunately she got it and order for the food. The food was delivered in few minutes in the Reception.
ROli took that parcel to his cabin and forward her hands to him with the parcel.
Sid: What is this?
ROli: Your Veg Fried Rice Sir.
Sid: You do onething. Just open the pack and feed me.
Roli was shocked on hearing this. She was thinking, is this receptionist job to feed food to MD. Oh god! If this is known i might have not accepted this job itself.
Roli: No Sir. I cant do that..
Siddhant was happy to hear the 'No Sir' which he never heard from anyone in the office all these days. All used to tell 'Yes SIr' for whatever he say which he never likes. He wish to hear such 'No Sir' from her.
Sid: Why No Sir. Why cant you do that?
Roli: I am neither your Mother nor your wife to feed the food to you. How can i do that? Sorry I cant.
Sid with a smile: Just kidding. If food parcel received, there is no need to bring to my cabin. You can tell some office assistant to keep the parcel in the dining hall and inform me over intercom that the food is ready to eat. I will go myself there to have my food.
Roli: Oh Ok Sir. I will take care in future.
Roli went from there with the parcel to do as per he said leaving the smiling Siddhant behind gazing at her.
