His Divine Goddess

(4) Office

Pov:Divya

Feeling utterly frustrated, a deep desire to punch someone wells up within me.

To be specific, the person I want to punch is that man in the suit from the lift, who stared at me as if I were the most insane and clumsiest girl ever. Placing my bag and plans on the desk, Geetha, my coworker, remarks "Look at you, Divya you're wet, and I can see your inner's." Suddenly, I remember I'm wearing a light white dress. Now I understand why that idiot kept staring at me. Thankfully, I always keep an extra dress in my office, and it comes in handy.

"If Krishna comes, please handle him, okay?" I say with a smile to Geetha before heading straight to the washroom..

"Really? What do you think? Is this your house or what? You always come late, and you think I have to treat you like a princess! If you're 10 minutes late, it's okay, but coming in after 1 and a half hours to the office? One day, I am going to mark you as absent, then only you will understand what responsibility is!" As usual, Krishna, our branch director, called me to his cabin and started his lecture.

"I am shouting like an idiot, and you're standing like a tree. Respond, Divya!" Krishna exclaimed, frustrated and I knew how to escape Krishna with my tricks.

"Sir, do you want to know why I'm late? Miss Dharshana asked me to do her a favor," a smile appeared on Krishna's face. Everyone knows in this office that this mongoose has a crush on Dharshana. He tried to hide his smile and asked, "What was that favor?" I suppressed my laugh and said, "Dharshana asked me to buy her some chocolates because she had sweet cravings. You know what, sir? I refused to buy her chocolates, but she said Don't worry, Mr. Krishna will never scold you because if he knows that I want chocolates. Surely, he will ask you to buy a chocolate factory because he cares about me".

A proud expression crossed his face as he said, "Did Miss Darshana say that to you?" Then, "Sir, she only said this !! Why ,are you suspecting Miss Darshana? Okay, sir, I will go say this to Darshana." I said this with a pitiful face, and immediately, "No, Divya, you go. Do your work. I won't mark you as absent, and don't say that I scolded you to Miss Darshana." I nodded in understanding, and when I was about to leave the cabin...

"Divya, the presentation meeting your team has been postponed to afternoon, make sure you and your team is prepared, Understood??" I nodded in reassurance and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will make sure the client approves our project."

"Did you again use my name, love?" A voice behind me asked, and I knew who it was. "Yes, Miss Dharshana, do you mind that?" I said to Dharshana with a pitiful face, and she rolled her eyes. "Don't use my name again, Divya. Because of that, the mongoose called me to his cabin and gave this chocolate basket to me."

I picked a Kit Kat with a mischievous smile and said, "Ohhh!! How sweet of that mongoose." Darshana placed the basket between me and Geetha. "Next time, come to the office earlier, Divya. Instead, don't use my name for your tricks! Okay?" Darshana said and left my cabin. I laughed and wondered, will my partner give me chocolates and take care of me?

"Divya, are you sure? Will you join us?" Ajay asked me. You know what, being a team lead is not that easy, and even during the lunch break, I can't have my lunch at the correct time. While I am busy, my teammates-Rahul, Ajay, Geetha, Deepa-are leaving me to have lunch. "I will come within 10 minutes after checking the PPT once, okay!" I said, and Ajay nodded before leaving.

After checking my PPT, I took my purse with me and pressed the down floor button in the lift. Then the lift doors opened, and God, why the hell do I have to see this hellion, aka the guy I saw in the morning in the lift? As surprised as me, he looked at me, and I entered the lift; then the doors closed.

We both were the only ones in the lift, and the morning scene replayed in my mind like a tape recording of how he looked at me without decency. "Going to lunch?" the hellion asked suddenly, and my mind snapped back to reality. "No, I am going for a walk," I tried to make a joke, but with a flat tone. Don't think of me as a rude person; I am always positive and friendly towards others, but seeing this man triggers immediate hatred.

"Oh, I see!" he said, his tone conveying that it's okay , you don't have to answer. Suddenly, the lift stops. I was scared to death, but as I began to realize that the power is off, Damn it I am going to have the worst time in my life now.

I think time is not favoring Divya, but for her hellion, it's going to be a different time and story.

I have never been this happy when the power is off, but the reason for my happiness is not the power cut it's because of her... wait!!! I hate her, and what the hell she is doing ????....
