Still a mystery

~~Jaiveer~~

Burying deep into my work, I shifted my entire concentration onto the website we are about to launch for our new cosmetic line. Our team actually got up with many new innovative ideas with the website to make it as attractive as our cosmetics that were about to be launched. 

My only concern is that I don't want any cyber threats to it and I also don't want it to be clumsy. I hate being clumsy. Because of it I also turned down many ad featuring offers for this new website. I want it to be as convenient as possible.

A soft knock brought me out of my work.

"Come in." I shouted.

Opening the door as little as possible, my assistant squeezed herself in. You know, she could have just opened the door a little wide. She looked at me with that little smile which actually never wavers at any time of hour. Not even under pressure. Not even when I'm angry. Not even when I'm confused. She always flashes that smile at me. But with passing time, I started feeling it creepy. I don't know why. Well, apart from her grey eyes, sharp nose and that little smile, I never dared to look down at her structure. 

Because I don't know why but women who got themselves in those body hugging skirts and suits always made me feel uncomfortable. One among them is my assistant, Harini. I like her name though.

"Yes?" I asked when she stood there staring at me.

Eyeing, I guess. My subconscious woke up and I hushed it.

"Mr. Dixit is calling you in his cabin, sir." She said, smiling.

"Which Mr. Dixit?" I asked. Come on!! There is Mr. Raghuram Dixit, Mr. Raghuveer Dixit, Mr. Neeraj Dixit and Mr. Dhiraj Dixit. Which Mr. Dixit?? Ok, rule the last name out of the list. That little one doesn't dare to call me into his cabin.

"Sorry!! Mr. Neeraj Dixit." She answered, smiling.

"Ok." I nodded and turned my attention to my system screen. But from the corner of my eye I noticed that she was still in the cabin.

"What?" I asked.

"Do you need anything, sir?" She asked and wait!!! Is there any change in her voice? Maybe it turned over sweet??

"Won't I tell if I need anything?" I asked uncertainly.

"Right!" Still smiling she finally excused herself out and that's when I finally coughed!!! God!! I don't know that women's perfumes can be this strong. 

After getting hold of myself, I stood up and picked up my jacket. Pulling myself into it, I walked up to Neeraj Bhai's cabin which is on the 20th floor of this building. 

Neeraj Dixit.

Managing Director.

Bold golden 3D letters are shining on the glass door of his cabin. Knocking it softly, I opened the door a little and peeked inside. 

"You called me?" I called out to Neeraj Bhai who was actually sitting on his rotating chair, behind his desk, with his head leaned against the chair with closed eyes.

With my voice, he opened his eyes and straightened up.

"Jai! Come in." 

Stepping inside, I closed the door behind me. I took another step inside and that's when I noticed the presence of another person in his cabin. For a moment I froze. 

"Jai! Come and have a seat." Neeraj bhai called out.

"What's the matter?" I asked, turning towards Neeraj Bhai.

"First sit down." He insisted. 

The seriousness in his tone and face started making me suffocate. So I immediately discarded my jacket and tie and threw them somewhere. I then walked up to Neeraj Bhai's desk and flopped down on the chair in front of it. Neeraj Bhai then forwarded a glass of water towards me. Not caring about it, I turned towards the other person in the room.
