Vani : Life After Realisation ✔️

8. The Awkward Moment

Hello darlings 😍 I'm back with another update today. Thank you for your responses in previous part. I'm overwhelmed with your support ❤️

The continuation of previous part :
Veer : Ms Bani Sharma, come to my cabin in 5 minutes.
Bani's mind voice : No, I can't work with him. I'm going to prepare my resignation letter and meet him for one last time to give it and then leave this job immediately.
(Bani went to her desk and switched on her laptop to type out the resignation letter. Mithra was sitting next to Bani's desk so she peeped at the screen curiously to see what she was typing there only to realise that Bani was typing her resignation letter)
Mithra : Sweetie, why the hell are you typing the resignation letter? Please don't tell me that you are going to quit this job.
Bani : Mithra, I can't work here anymore. I don't feel comfortable with the new MD. (She hid the truth about Veer to Mithra)
Mithra : You don't feel comfortable with him? Come on yaar, you didn't even talk to him properly but how could you decide if you are comfortable or not?
Bani : I don't know. I just don't feel comfortable around him. (She continued typing)
Mithra : Bani, should I remind you about your commitment? (Realization hit on Bani and she stopped typing) You know how much this job means to you and your future, right? If you quit this job then what's the guarantee that you will get a new job immediately?
Bani : Hey Bholenath, I just don't know what can I do now. (She said sadly and Mithra patted on the shoulder)
Mithra : Sweetie, please calm down. Don't strain yourself as it's not good for your health. Drink this water now. (She passed her the water bottle)
Bani drank the water and sat quietly for a while before receiving a call through intercom. It was from MD's cabin.
Veer : Ms Bani Sharma, come to my cabin right now.
Bani : Okay (She cut the call)
Bani to Mithra : The MD is calling me to his cabin. (She told her anxiously)
Mithra : All the best, sweetie. (She giggled)

At Veer's cabin :
Bani : May I come in, Sir? (She knocked the door)
Veer : Yes, come in. (He smirked)
Bani : Why did you call me, Sir? (She asked, stressing the word 'sir')
Veer was scanning or maybe checking her out from top to bottom. She felt uncomfortable when a man was checking her out although the man was her own husband. She finally decided to break the awkwardness.
Bani : Can you just stop scanning me and say why did you call me? (She asked angrily)
Veer : Ms Bani Sharma, take your seat.
Bani : It's okay. Tell me why did you call me here?
Veer : Take your seat first then I will let you know.
Bani : Arghh okay. (She reluctantly took her seat)
Veer : So, Ms Bani Sharma you are my Personal Assistant right?
Bani : You dialed to the Personal Assistant desk and I received it so isn't it obvious that I'm your PA? Now tell me why did you call me here.
Veer smirked at her attitude while continuously gazing at her. Bani stood up as she decided to leave since he was not going to tell her why he called her.
Veer : Bani..Bani, please sit down. I will tell you now. (She sat back with an annoyed face)
Bani : Okay tell me, Sir.
Veer : There is no need for this formalities as we are not strangers. (He smiled devilishly)
Bani : Of course we are strangers. You are our new MD and I just met you 30 minutes ago so we are still strangers.
Veer got up from his chair suddenly which made Bani to get up from her seat too. He again started scanning her from top to bottom as she was standing in front of him. Bani noticed it and glared at him.
Bani : Can you just stop checking me out from top to bottom? I'm really feeling uncomfortable with your stare on me. Don't you know how to behave with your employees?!
Veer : Why are you feeling uncomfortable with your husband, gharwali? (He chuckled)
Bani got startled the very next moment she heard the word gharwali from him. A glimpse of past crossed in front of her eyes and she was totally dumbstruck. She then noticed Veer was observing her expressions so she quickly composed herself.
Bani : Gharwali? Sir, first of all I guess you are using the wrong term to address your PA and secondly, I don't have any husband. Anyway, I have no time for this so I'm leaving. (She started to walk towards the door but stopped when Veer called her)
Veer : Ms Bani Sharma, looks like you have gained weight in my absence. (He teased her)
Bani gave a sudden jerk to see him commenting on her weight.
Bani : That's none of your business. (She snapped at him being offended)
Veer : I mean you look cute. (He started walking towards her and Bani stepped backward)
He locked the door as they were standing near it making her shock.
Bani : Why did you latch the door? Open it now! (She raised her voice)
Veer : Shhhhh. Why are you shouting now? Calm down, Relax, Breathe. (He placed his finger on her lips)
Bani was looking at him with no idea on how to react and he was smirking at her as he could sense her nervousness on her breath. He slowly moved closer to her to which their lips were just an inch apart. He removed his finger from her lips and slowly leaned in to kiss her but Bani got back to her sense and pushed him away.
Bani : Stop misbehaving with me. There is a camera in your cabin.
Veer : Ahaan.. so is it okay to kiss if there's no camera? Shall we go anywhere else to continue what we were doing? (He asked mischievously)
Bani : Stop it and move!! (She pushed him and reached the door to unlatch it but Veer grabbed her hand)
Veer : Where do you think you are going, sweetheart? I haven't tell you why I called you here. (He winked at her)
Bani : Then do it without wasting your time and my time!
Veer : Uffff my angry bird, calm down first. Come let's go and sit.
Bani glared at him and they both sat back at their respective places.
Bani : Okay, tell me now. (She said with an annoyed face)
Veer : You smile first then I will tell you.
Bani : Veeranshu, enough! I'm leaving now. (This time she quickly reached the door and unlatched it before he could respond to her)
Bani went back to her desk leaving Veer to giggle at her behaviour.
