Hearts United

His Secretary

Sanjana's POV:

It's been a week since Kabeer made me his PA and the chief designer. I was dumbstruck when he announced it in front of the whole office. I already got death glares from a few female employees. Not to lie to males too. Hee.. Eee

But, I guess I deserve it. I've done more than the needful. When I told everyone at home they all were happy and congratulated me. But also told me to be as happy as possible for the moment because after my marriage I can't work. Yeah my sad yet happy life.

"Sanjana can you do me a favour?" Someone called out my name.

Sitting in my cubicle and coming out of my chain of thoughts, I looked up to see Ankur sir.

I got up from my chair but he held my shoulders and pushed me back down to sit. He smiled keeping some papers on my desk.

"Just arrange these accordingly and get Kabeer's signatures on them for me please" He said with his beautiful smile.

I just nodded with a small smile.

He was looking into the papers while I kept looking at his face. How much this man must love his dead wife, that he can't give anyone that place. Lucky she! And here me who is marrying a guy who has no interest in me or our relationship.

Suddenly we heard a loud sound from inside Kabeer sir's cabin. We looked and saw a girl coming out totally frightened. She gave me an emotional look and ran. He and his mood swings. I hate this side of his. He really has terrible anger issues. I huffed and looked over the glass wall. He is fuming in anger and then the intercom spoke.

"Sanjana come in now!" The lion roared...

"You're such a darling, how do you handle this devil"
He whispered mentioning Kabeer sir.

"Just like you manage your dear best friend"
I said with a slight chuckle and got up to go in.

"Agreed!" He said chuckling.

As I came inside the heated room. I too sometimes get scared by this man. But I don't know how when he sees me, or I just have something that his anger automatically subsides.
I gave him a blank look. He looked at me with anger but, he kept quiet. I walked over to the mini fridge and took out a beer can.

I put the shutter over the glass wall and then went and stood in front of him and gestured to take the can from my hand.

He looked at me and left a long breath with fisted hands. He hit the chair bars in anger. I took a long breath and bent and held his hands. I made him hold the can. He opened it and took two gulps fast.

"Take a break, go up to the penthouse have smoke and come back"
I said and walked to the door.

"Saanj" He called and I stopped.

I turned and gave him an unknown expression. He just called me with a 'pet name'.
No one has called me like that. I was shocked too.

He smirked and said...
"Bring me Mr. Daniels files"
He took another shot of his drink and looked into his lap.

I gave myself a moment to realize the meaning of that smirk. Then came back out. What is going on in my life I have no idea.

I got engaged to a stranger just to come to London and work. I am going to leave this job soon to get married to the man who has no feelings for me nor I have for him. What is God's plan? I thought in pain and sat on my chair.

Seriously, why is that guy marrying me? He says he doesn't love me. That day also when we met his friends. They all spoke to me well. But still I felt like I was stuck between strangers. He never calls or speaks to me. He never tries to do anything for our relationship. I mean we are engaged and going to get married. Still we don't know anything about each other.

I felt someone tap my shoulder and I came out of my thinking.

"What's up?" He asked me curiously.

"Nothing, just random thoughts"
I said leaving a long breath.

He sat on the edge of my desk and kept a cup of coffee.
I smiled and said happily...
"I needed this so bad!"

"I know, after coming out of the lion's den you need strength to go back in" He said laughing.

"It's not that!" I said and chuckled.

"Shut up we all know how he treats you"
He said being annoyed.

"What?" I asked not knowing his meaning.

"What? We all know what happens behind those closed doors and covered glass walls" He said and took a sip of his coffee.

"Care to explain to me what exactly happens there as I don't know myself" 
I said sarcastically.

"Come on Sandy!" He said and laughed.

"Sam I'm being serious now"
I said giving him a stearn look.

"Okay, so half of the rumours say that you are hitting on our boss. And the other half say that he is using you for his needs" He said lamely.

"What the hell? are you people out of your mind?" I asked a little loudly.

Everyone's heads turned towards us. Sam gestured for me to keep quiet. I gave everyone a glare and a deadly look at Sam.

"Sandy, I just told you what others think not me"
He said in his defence.

"How dare they think of Kabeer in that way? Don't they have common sense to analyze a person's character"
I said and folded my hands to my chest in frustration.

"Aren't you affected that you were spoken bad about too?" He tilted his head with a weird smile.

I gave him a grumpy face and said boldly..... "I don't care what they think of me, in fact I stopped caring of others opinions long ago. I'm angry at how they think so horrible about such a good man"
I huffed in irritation.

"Okay, cool down now and finish your coffee. Forget about everything. I told you, to be aware of the surroundings It's time to leave, pack up"
He said and got up.

"Yeah, you're right. I won't give a shit about these stupid people's thoughts" I said still bugged.

"Fine, fire angle. Water your fire and get up"
He said laughing and went.

I closed my eyes to calm myself down. How dare these people say that about Kabeer. I will show them what it is to talk bad about him. I swear to make sure these people shut their months soon. I won't allow anyone to speak nonsense about him at any cost. I thought in determination.

Suddenly someone kept their hands on my shoulder again.
I looked up to see those tempting hazel eyes again. We stared into each other's eyes for a minute. Till he leaned down close to my face and tucked a lock of hair at the back of my ears. A slight smile creeped up his lips. My breathing always becomes fast when he is so close to me.

"It's time. Let's leave to meet
Mr. Daniel. Then I'll drop you off at home" He said softly.

I only managed to nod my head. He went away and I managed to keep control of my running heart. Ufffffff........this man!!! God!
