Chapter 2

Gauri finally nodded when he looked away from her. "Impressive Miss Gauri Rathore." Her luck couldn't get better, could it? the other person who stood beside Omkara asked her to take a seat. Viddhi whispered cursing her as she sat. "Who is he?" Gauri asked Viddhi.

"Omkara Sir, we all will have to report to him. He is going to be our manager throughout the duration of the internship." The world around Gauri froze as she registered the words in her brain. She had kissed her manager! Way to go!

As the session proceeded with other presentations Gauri tried not to make eye contact with her manager. However, she did end up. What's worse was he was looking back drilling holes into her. She would definitely go in history. Not just for kissing her boss. But also for being fired even before her first official day at work began.

He took the mic and began addressing the interns in general. Gauri tried to focus on the projector screen behind him. However, her eyes drifted to his form. His hairstyle made him look hot. She'd any day prefer the bun to his open unruly hair. He had black-framed glasses on, which enhanced his well-sculptured face. During their earlier encounter, she hadn't noticed what she was wearing. Currently, he looked dashing in the three-piece suit. Her eyes zoomed on his lips as he spoke. Yes, the same ones she had kissed.

Wait!

Why on earth was she checking him out? She had no clue what he was saying. She covered her face with her hands, talking to herself in the head. People kick start their career but she was kiss starting it. She looked up when she heard the word, Oberoi. "What Oberoi?" She muttered looking up.

"Shh, Gauri what's wrong with you today!" Viddhi muttered.

"What was said about Oberoi?" Gauri asked only to see bewilderment cross her friend's face. She knew she sounded stupid. But today was her lucky day.

"Rohith Sir was thanking Omkara Singh Oberoi!" Gauri's eyes widened and she turned to the podium. She had kissed an Oberoi. Weren't they all away? Fudge, Fudge, Fudge!

"He's an Oberoi...like the Oberoi?" She questioned.

Her friend stated at her weirdly nodding affirmatively. "What the hell is he doing here?" Gauri asked clearly pissed.

"Gauri what's wrong with you? If you think this is funny, you're mistaken. Can't you shut up and listen? First of all, you came late. And now..you're acting like a retard. Why won't he be here? The Oberois acquired Archs and Style."

Gauri stares at her friend. "How on earth did I miss that news! Couldn't you tell me before!"

"Gauri, you've lost it. Just try sitting silently for a while." Viddhi suggested turning back to the podium. Gauri sulked lowering herself on the chair. The trouble had just got denser. How would she face him? For the next six months, he'd not only be there at her temporary home but also at the office. Why did she have to kiss this man out of the billions out in the world? Scratch that. Why did she even have to kiss?

Omkara couldn't help but time and again focus on the chair where she sat. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw her. Gauri Rathore. What was the name of the girl he had kissed? How did she sneak into the bathroom of his gym? Did she do it on purpose? Omkara knew that women, in general, appreciated him. But this one, was she a stalker? Did she know she had kissed her to-be-manager, more literally boss? But, this was a last-minute decision. He wasn't supposed to be here, Rohith was. However, Shivaay decided that making him manage all the interns, it would be a good management project for him.
