My Casanova Husband

Chapter Nine

Niran: You could have complained to the HR.

Aroon: Who would have believed me, a trainee over a manager who has been with the company for so long?

"I would."

Aroon looks at Atid who is standing at the door staring at him.

Atid: Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you protest?

Aroon: I...I....

Atid: YOU WHAT?

Aroon flinches on hearing Atid's loud voice. Tears starts forming in his eyes. Niran tries to get close to Aroon but someone reaches there before him.

Atid panics on seeing tears in Aroon's eyes. He quickly walks towards him and sits on the bed facing him. He cups his face in his hands and looks at him gently.

Atid: Aroon

Aroon is stunned on hearing his name from Atid's mouth but he keeps his head down.

Atid: Look at me Aroon.

Aroon raises his head and their eyes lock with each other.

Atid: I am sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you. I just want to know why you didn't say no to that bastard.

Aroon: I....I said No but he....

Atid holds his hands and caresses softly, encouraging him to speak.

Aroon: He...He said that my job depended on his feedback and that he can make or break my career. I still said no but he....

A sob escapes Aroon's mouth.

Aroon: He said he will not only destroy my life but he ... he will ruin Niran and Kiet's career. I...I couldn't let that happen. I...

Aroon starts crying loudly. Atid could no longer hold himself back. He pulls the sobbing boy into his arms and hugs him tight.

Atid: Don't cry Aroon. He cannot do anything to destroy your career.

Aroon: But he...

Atid: No one has the right to mistreat or harass you based on your position. Chanthara Technologies have strict rules against any form of harrassment.

Aroon: What if he denies? What if he...

Atid: I have collected the CCTV footage from the security team.

Niran: But the conversation will not be audible.

Atid: I have a solution for that.

Atid looks at Aroon who is still crying. He wipes his tears and speaks to him.

Atid: Do you have the recording device that the company provided you to record your work.

Aroon nods his head.

Atid: Was in on when Josh approached you.

Aroon: Hmm

Atid: Where is the device?

Aroon: In my bag.

Atid: Niran, please get that device from the bag.

Niran: Okay

Niran gets the devices and gives it to Atid.

Atid: PMike

Mike who was waiting outside enters the room and Atid handsover the device to Mike.

Atid: You know what to do?

Mike: Yes Sir.

Atid: Good. I need that bastard put in his place by the end of the day.

Mike: It will be done Sir.

Mike walks out of the room. Atid looks at Aroon and realizes that he is still holding his hand. He quickly let go of his hand and stands up abruptly.

Atid: Mr.Ananada

Aroon looks at Atid in shock as he goes back to his formal cold tone.

Aroon: Sir

Atid: I need a formal complaint from you to take appropriate action.

Aroon: But

Atid: I don't know how many people he has harassed including you. But he will no longer touch any of my employees again. For that I need your help.

Aroon nods his head.

Atid: Niran, you will go to office like usual and pretend that you don't know anything that happened to Aroon.

Niran: Sir...

Atid: I don't want to alert him or give him time to do anything to defend himself.

Niran nods his head.

Atid: Mr.Ananada, you will inform your family that you are going to office from Niran's house so that they will not worry about you.

Aroon: Okay

Atid: But, you will stay hear until you are well enough to return home.

Aroon: But Sir...

Atid does not listen and just walks out of the room.

Niran: I will come to get you in the evening.

Aroon: Hmm

Aroon nervously looks at his bestfriend walking out of the room, leaving him alone in this big room. He didn't know what to do the entire day without any work or someone to talk to. He picks his phone and calls his sister. He manage to convince her that he is okay and that he will come home in the evening. As he ends the call, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Aroon: Please come in.

An old lady in her 50s enter the room holding a tray.

Lady: Goodmorning Sir. I am Mrs.Ja, the housekeeper.

Aroon: Please call me Aroon.

Lady: Then you can call me Aunt Ja just like young master Atid. I have bought breakfast for you. Please eat it and take rest.

Aroon: Thank you Aunt Ja.

Aroon bows down and thanks her with a smile.

Aunt Ja: You are welcome dear. You have a beautiful smile.Always keep smiling.

Aroon's smile widen on hearing Aunt Ja's words.

Aunt Ja: Eat alot dear. Call me if you need anything.

Aroon nods his head.

"Aunt Ja"

Aroon looks towards the door and see Atid standing there with an unreadable expression.

Atid: I am leaving for office. Please take good care of our guest.

Aunt Ja: I will young master.

Atid looks at Aroon once again and then leaves without saying a word.
