The next few weeks were well fine I suppose but in these 3 weeks I have had a lot of panic attacks and those nightmares I used to get were back. I can barely sleep at night but the little sleep I do get, those nightmares are back
I still don't understand the fact that his words, those few words brought back everything that I kept hidden, it's so overwhelming to me
The phone rings, not my personal one but the work phone. I grabbed it putting it on my ear thinking it was either navya or cabir.
"Hello" I mumble
"24th floor, at the ver end of the hallway" the voice said before the line goes beep
being confused I call navya
"Hey" she chirps
"So I might have received a weird call asking me to come to the 24th floor" I say
"It was probably manik," she says
"Why would he want me in his office? Is he bipolar?" I ask
"No stupid, he probably wants to have a conversation about either work or just you know"
"Well I am not going" I tell her putting my feet up on the table
"He will walk downstairs, he is stubborn"
"Then I am stubborn more" I say cutting the call, I did hear her chuckling on the line
The phone rings again and this time I pick it up but didn't say anything
"If I don't see you here in the next 10 minutes, im walking down to your office and ill make sure everyone can hear us so get your ass up to my office now nandini"
"No I will not" I reply
"See I try being cordial and this is exactly why I don't do this. IN MY OFFICE OR IM COMING DOWN THERE NOWWWW" he warns making me frown
"No"
"NOW I SAIDDD" he grunts out
He wouldn't walk down here right? I mean navya did say he is stubborn but also if that crackhead walks down here, he will for sure make a scene and I don't want people looking at me weird.
Right as I was getting up, the phone rings again so I pick it up taking a huge breath.
"ARE YOU COMING UP HERE OR SHOULD I COME DOWN THERE?" He asks, his voice scares me sometimes but not in a fearful way, just intimidating I suppose
"It takes time to walk up there" I mumble
"Use the god damn elevator" he said cutting the line
"Fucking stupid assholeee" I scream stomping to the elevator doors
I swear this man makes me wanna resort to violence, I want to grab my pointy ass heels and throw it at him to see if he would catch it or get hurt. Don't think I'm cruel because I would have first aid ready but seriously he makes me angry
My heels make noise against the floor as I get out of the elevator, I was nervously playing with my rings because it doesn't matter how much I deny it, I am scared. Not only because he is my bosses boss but also because he is so damn tall and those memories I have buried sometimes resurface when he yells
I mean I know he will not hurt me, I knew that in my heart but I still can't help and keep my guard up, it just stresses me out a lot to not know what he needs me up there for considering he has never even called up here and I didn't know that's who Manik was. I knew the name but not the face
Taking a huge breath I take a look at his name engraved in gold ink on this black slack. Manik Malhotra. His name even sends chill down my spine I the weirdest god damn way. I knock on his door and a come in comes from the inside so I step inside.
he sits on his chair like a god like he owns the place, okay he does but seriously the aura this man carries around himself is beyond anything I have ever seen or experienced
"Next time when I tell you I need you in my cabin, do not argue with me over the phone" he states
"So argue with you in person?" i ask but regretted it instantly when he glared at me
"Sit" he orders
"Im okay" I tell him
"Are you deaf?" He asks and I just shake my head
"Then sit down"
I reach over pulling the chair out that was in front of the table. Sitting down I cross my legs looking at him, I didn't want him to know I was nervous so I just looked right at him
His arm resting on the arm chair, his left leg over his right thigh. The same bracelets and ring on his hands and fingers but he had a different watch on his right hand matching his grey three piece suit well. Hey, I might not like the dude but he has great formal style
"Why am I here?" I ask when he doesn't say anything instead just looks at me which was making me feel weird
"What happened at the party" he mumbles
"What party?" I act like I don't know but the truth was it was hurting still, his words hurt a lot
"Don't act oblivious and listen before you interrupt me again, do you understand?" He asks
"Fine" I snicker at him
"Cut the fucking attitwitue with me" he growls
"Okay I don't see a point in this Manik, if you called me here to scream and throw orders at me then I don't wanna hear anything" I tell him
"I didn't mean the things I said at the party, It just came out" he mumbles
His eyes weren't looking in mine anymore, instead he was looking anywhere but at me which lets me know he is uncomfortable with the situation too
"It's fine" I reply
"No, I mhm" he was starting to fidget with his ring
i could tell he was really nervous
"I was being a little bitch when I said those words to you. I was angry at someone else and took it out on you and that is unfair. I didn't mean the words I said but I also can't change it so I"
'Are you apologizing?" I ask
he looked at me like I had killed his pet hamster or something
"I am"
"Sorry?" I ask because he couldn't say it
"Yes" he says
"So say it" I mumble, I knew I had a little smirk on my face
"I am mhm I"
he looked very cute trying to apologize
"Thank you" I whisper
His eyes shot up looking at me
"You didn't have to apologize but thank you for doing it"
"I didn't mean to hurt you" he whispers
"It's fine" he nods
