Chapter 3
'Good morning Sir' Shilpa said in a low voice as Ranbir entered his cabin. He neither replied her nor heard her greeting. He was too busy talking to some clients on his phone.
Reaching his chair he sat down finally putting his phone down and looked towards his new PA and spoke 'As far as I remember, I told you to learn the manners didn't I?'
'Sir, I didn't understand', Shilpa said in a low voice looking towards him confusingly.
Raising his eyebrows to her query he said, 'Good Morning '.. I think this is how you greet your Boss'.
Shilpa was about to tell him that she did said but she was interrupted, 'Don't worry I know where you came from they don't use formal language there, But I want to be Professional and formal, You get it,' Ranbir said in a slight anger and taunting way, making Shilpa angry and insulted but she somehow controlled her anger.
'Did accounting deliver the revenue projections yet?' Ranbir asked reading the papers.
'I don't know Sir, I mean No not yet Sir', Shilpa answered.
'What do you mean you dont know? , You are the one responsible for all this work?', Ranbir hissed in anger looking at her.
'Im sorry Sir'….
'Oh please cut this crap will you, it's been 1 week you're here and still you are not learning,' Ranbir said annoyingly.
'Sir, actually I was a bit stuck up with some personal problem..' SHilpa tried explaining him.
Her mother was not well, as the new chemo is very painful for her and she been staying in the hospital all night and all day I the office thanks to Ranbir.
'Personal Problem?' Really Miss. Anand '.. This is not how things work here in RK, when you start working here you need to forget about your personal so called problems, we have more problem here to solve .
'Sir, I'm Sorry but my personal problems are very important for me,' SHilpa answered back, hearing him saying all those heart less things.
Hearing her answering him back once again made Ranbir extremely angry. He stood up abruptly making Shilpa scared. He started walking towards her.
'Si'r..What ..A..re Yo..u doin'g ?' Shilpa asked him in a shaky voice as she saw him proceeding towards her with anger visible on his face.
As he advanced towards her she moved back until she could move at all, due to the cold wall that touched her back. He smirked seeing her condition. As he was about to touch her side of the face. She tried moving but his hand stopped her and rested on the wall besides her face. She looked at him with fear filled eyes.
She tried moving again but his other hand stopped her again and this time she was trapped. He saw something that he didn't noticed in this past week' her Hazel eyes clean n shiny , telling him her whole life story but still there was something that was enclosed between them..
He gazed down he saw her pink lips that trembled with passion or it was only fear .He was getting intoxicated with her smell. It was something that he never felt ever with a girl this close to him.
He wanted to touch her cheeks that were now in a deep pink shade but As he looked up to scan her eyes again, he saw the tears brimming in her eyes and it was due to the terror she felt right now she looked so fragile and he was breaking it ..
He slowly and gradually removed his hands from her sides and moved a little back telling her to just go now. She instantly runaway outside leaving her belongings on the floor Ranbir rested his head on the very wall and breathed heavily.
He never felt that sensations that he just felt standing so close to her he was frustrated beyond imagination and went towards her table throwing the paper weight on the floor harshly, why was he so attracted to her..
What's so interesting about her from the moment he saw her for the first time. Yes the time she entered for the interview he was attracted to the beauty she possess, but he hid it with his anger.
His anger his harsh words towards her all this time, was an effort to hide what he has started feeling for her' BUTHE NEVER allowed a girl affecting him that much '..
But she was different and WHY ?
SHilpa ran as fast as she could towards the rest room. She panted hard trying to catch her breath and removing her tears that were forming in her eyes.. She washed her face with cold water to calm herself down. Never ever she has allowed someone to come close to her, but he was the first one to cross that line.
She was terrified but there was something inside her that was telling her not to be. For the first time she saw him She was attractive to this man, his first glance was captivating but his attitude ruined the image that she created with the first meeting..
He was ruthless and highly proud of himself and that's what she never believes, she like simplicity. But him coming this close was effecting her badly. She looked herself in the mirror trying to figure how she really felt this time.
She went towards her desk and started doing her extra work that was given by her boss on purpose, as she requested him for leaving early today as her mum needed her but he said no personal problems.
She never told Ranbir about her sick mom because she doesn't need sympathy, but he was torturing her like this for no reason. She wanted to ignore him today completely after what happened in the cabin but she can't help it, she was his PA and has to obey whatever he said.
She went inside his cabin to ask him if she could go early today but she heard him talking to someone in a verylow voice and very soft tone as well that was a surprise for her. Before she could go out of his cabin, she felt someone grabbing her hand and pulled her back inside.
'Intruding in someone else's personal space?' Asked Ranbir with anger on his face.
'Sir , I wasn't', ……….
'Oh shutup, when will you learn the manners?'
Shilpa felt extremely angry this time and he moved her hand out of his grip.
'You were the one talking about not involving the Personal Problem here in the office and WOW the CEOhimself is doing ', Shilpa almost shouted.
Ranbir pinned her to the wall again and this time her wrists were trapped in his big palms.
'Nobody talks to me like that, Understand?, this is my Office my rules,' Now Get the hell of out my sight,' With that he left her wrist and turned around.
