Destined Love

23. Just an Intern?

After dinner, Manik and Nandini drifted to their respective bedrooms to get their sound sleep as they had an early morning meeting . Next morning they both woke up, and rushed  to the office as they were going to be late.

Soon they reached the office where they were going to have a meeting with the client to finalise the deal. Manik and Nandini settled in their respective chairs . The clients arrived and they greeted each other. The clients were quite rich and famous. They are one of the famous companies in London and they do business  all over the world. They needed a good marketing team for their firm.

Just then a  girl in mid 25, wearing a hot skinny dress and settled near her dad . Manik and Nandini are explaining to them about the deal and the owner asks them questions and they answer with full confidence. They were quite impressed with Manik and Nandini.

They finalised the deal , and Manan looked at each other and smiled . The girl walked up to Manik holding his hand, he looked at her and stood up and hugged her .

Manik: Hey Kiara, what's up, it's been many years since we met. I am glad to see you joining your dads business .

( nandini was looking at all this, her hands were clenched in a fist)

Kiara : Hey Manik, you are still the same hot and happening . ( with a slutty smirk) tracing his biceps

They were having a conversation so close, and their nandini was fuming in anger. She wanted to kick Manik so hard and Of Course the bitch harder .

Nandini: Um Manik, shall we leave?

Kiara: Manik, who's this girl with you?

Manik: umm, uh She is my intern and works in my team. She is here to help me back up.

Kiara: (looking at nandini) Well then nandini, you should call him sir right , as an intern you should know the  limits  don't you know Manik malhotra isn't just your HR but his dad owns the company too.

Manik: (in joking tone) um , yes nandini well let's just leave it there . Let's all head for lunch together. Let's celebrate this deal.

Nandini: (silently wiping tears) you have fun "Sir" , I will be heading home . I don't feel well

Manik was worried he was about to ask her , but Kiara dragged him with her.

Nandini reached home , went to her room and cried a lot. She started thinking that she isn't the right person to fit in Maniks life . It's a girl like Kiara, smart and pretty rich . It was breaking her from inside, she wanted to call up someone but then she didn't want to stress anyone out .

Manik kept messaging her if she was okay but she didn't respond back. She kept saying to herself she was nothing for him, just a normal intern. She was really getting those anxious thoughts, her anxiety was kicking in. She had her pills to calm her down. She knew what she was falling into was going to hurt her, but she couldn't stop herself .

On the other side Manik excused himself from Kiara that there was an emergency and he had to leave, he reached home as fast as he could. He called out "nandini" but she didn't respond.

He knocked on her door, on hearing no response he entered inside he saw her crying and packing her bag . He rushed to her and held her elbows tightly. Nandini hissed as he held her too tightly.

Manik: pagal hogayi ho? Can't you answer my calls or texts? I was so worried for you.

Nandini: really? Oh sorry you shouldn't be worried for your intern sir, I am just here to help you for your work as my duty . You enjoy your lunch with your whatever .
