Chapter 24

"Since when do you know?" Asked Helly wiping her tear wet cheeks.

"Surrendered so soon Ms. Shah? I thought your audacity is still high on to save yourself" taunted Rrahul and Helly looked at him. Her face held hurt while eyes constantly searching something.

She simply looked down in despair.

"I never knew Ms. Shah. I connected the dots" said Rrahul making the girl look up at him again.
"You have been leaving hints right from start", Rrahul disclosed making his general manager frown at his words.

"I left hints?" She asked herself when Rrahul spoke up, "No need to pressurize your brain. I'll narrate you everything. You see, I have a quiet good memory" he said smirking.

"Ms. Shah do you know learning from mistakes is the biggest lesson of life...." He said, "......That's what I did. After the dramatic scene created by your fellow dealer..." he said thrusting on the words, "I never trusted anyone".

"I don't understand" said Helly but Rrahul gave a chuckle.

"You will when I'll narrate you your story. Take a seat.." he said allowing her to sit on his RS throne, "It's a long story. You are already physically weak. You might get tired" he completed and directed his hand towards his throne.

Helly looked from him to the throne in confusion but Rrahul gave a short pressed smile.

"I.. I am fine" Helly said timidly.

"Sit down Ms. Shah" Rrahul spoke out in a little louder tone making the girl flinch on her place.

Without further argument, Helly took his throne. She hesitantly sat at the edge of the chair.

Taking one of the rolling chair, he sat in front of her, "So, where do you want me to start?" Asked Rrahul flashing a smile.

"Right from the beginning" answered Helly.

"Okay... You see Ms. Shah, I was already informed how much cunning you are. You never wanted to work here. When you were pushed here, away from your boyfriend, you started creating hindrance in my work. Completely understandable....." he said and pushed up his one leg on another.

"....But the clock strikes then, when you suddenly flipped...." He said putting his leg back on original position and leaned down resting his elbow on his thighs.

".....The girl who was eagerly waiting, dying to get thrown out of the job, all of a sudden mellowed in?" Her eyebrows knit at his said words, "....Don't you think it's highly suspicious. The girl who was so dying to get fired out the day before, suddenly became all sweet and helpful...." And with this Helly felt her heart sinking down more. She started playing with her fingers while eyes set on on her Boss.

".....Followed up by...." Rrahul continued saying thoughtfully, "....yeah...destroying your work station..." Rrahul widened his eyes but Helly eye rims were stretched to maximum extent.

"How does he know?" She asked herself again, after all her tongue got tied in shock.

  "..... I know how smart you are Ms. Shah. You killed out the CCTV wires...." He said flashing an impressed expression on his face, "..... But a true fact; I know my office more...." He added sternly looking at his culprit.

".....The installed hidden camera caught you using a sharp fake cat paw..." Helly immediately released her fingers, "...want evidence?" He asked.

"Evidence?"

Rrahul opened his laptop. He clicked the recorded videos option, selecting the video he played it.

"Isn't it you? Ms. Shah?" He asked pointing towards the screen and Helly wiped the sweat beads on her forehead.
