Pallavi ran inside the building, her high heels clattering against the tile floor, her purse swinging from her elbow has she desperately tried to hang onto the stack of files and the cup of coffee in her hands. She was running late to her meeting again.
In the midst of trying to run down the hall, she collided against a strong chest, her coffee spilling all over her clothes with her files flying everywhere.
Shit!! She silently shouted.
Miss Deshmukh are you alright? she heard a deep voice say.
She immediately looked up, her face was burning hot in embarrassment as she realised who she ran into.
Her boss, Mr. Rao
Or, as she knew him as the most handsome man she's ever laid eyes on. The person who makes her feel things she shouldn't in the pit of her stomach. Cursing herself silently for falling for her arrogant but oh so attractive boss.
Yeah, she managed to squeak out. I just need a new shirt, she said chuckling.
I am so sorry, I didn't see you. Said Raghav as he knelt down next to Pallavi helping her pick up the scattered files. He swallowed thickly as he snuck a glance at Pallavi's now see through blouse, lustful thoughts quickly flooded his mind. Groaning quietly, he quickly brushed those thoughts away and went back to helping her.
Thank you for helping me Mr. Rao, she replied sincerely. Unable to meet his eyes in the midst of her embarrassment. He made her feel nervous, but in a good way. Butterflies would explode in her stomach every time she'd look into his dark eyes. Everything about him got her weak in her knees. She knows it's wrong to have feelings for your boss. But just one look from him makes her forget about the rules. She wants him but she feels as though he doesn't feel the same.
He smiled warmly at her, handing back her files their fingers grazing against each other. Both of them felt the spark. Extending his hand he pulled her up and said you can call me Raghav I may be your boss but I'm also your friend.
She smiled shyly and nodded her head. Staring deeply into each other's eyes both of them were wishing that they could be more than friends. Both of them were caught in a trance it was until they heard get a room that they broke out of it. Raghav looked behind him to see his assistant Farhad smirking at the both of them. Raghav glared at him before looking at Pallavi to see her cheeks burning red . Cute he thought. To avoid further embarrassing her, he changed the topic asking Pallavi if she's gonna go to the celebration party tonight.Laughing she said I'm not exactly thrilled, spending my Friday night with people I barely know is not something I'm looking forward for.
It's not?! He fake gasped making her laugh.Raghav's Pov:
Her laughter is the most wholesome thing in the world. I'd do anything to see her this happy. If it were up to me I'd stay by her side all the time. This is your chance Raghav ask her before she changes her mind about going.
—
Alright then, how about I take you to the party with me? He asked her.
Her heart racing not actually believing if she heard him correctly.
Like a date? She asked grinning .
He nodded his head.
pulling her close he whispered That's if you're fine with that Miss Deshmukh, inching towards his ear she said it's a date Mr. Rao.She moved back and started to walk away until she felt him gently pull her arm.
Pallavi what did I tell you about calling me Mr. Rao he said huskily.Turning to look at him she chuckled and said, see you tonight Raghav.
Smirking he replied back, See you tonight Sweetheart.
Both of them left grinning ear to ear attending the meetings they had for the rest of the day. Only having one thing on their mind, tonight's party.
