His Divine Goddess

(7) Compulsion

Pov:Arjun

God damn this woman!! Really filling my mind since yesterday's incident. I planned to leave this city yesterday, but because of the lift accident, I couldn't attend the meeting and didn't search for my future wife.

Yesterday, I learned who she was – her name is Divya Purushothaman, one of the architects in this company for two years. Her friends, apart from her colleagues, are Aaradhya, Madhumitha, Joel, and Sanjay, who are all her school friends. She finished her architecture degree at Madras University. Her father, Purushothaman, is a manager, and her mother, Maha Lakshmi, is a housewife. Eyes and hair color – black, height – 5'7". From yesterday's fall in the lift, her weight could be anywhere from 55-61 kg. Her favorite color is pink, her favorite food is sambar rice, marital status – single, and her favorite Marvel character is Loki (why does she love a villain??).

I collected her details by yesterday evening, and why am I even remembering her details??

I vividly recall the morning sequence in the lift when she addressed me as Mr. Hellion, and, in retaliation, I countered by calling her Pepper Girl. I admit it might not be the funniest name, but nicknames weren't at the forefront of my mind in that moment. If a more suitable name for her arises, I'll go with La Manie. Unfortunately, I forgot that my assistant Siddharth was also present in the lift.

I could sense his efforts to suppress his laughter. When she exited the lift, he burst into laughter, saying, "Really, Mr. Hellion? Wow, she named you so perfectly!" He continued to laugh, and I warned him, "If you don't stop laughing, I'm going to stitch your mouth, Mr. Laughless." It was my attempt at a playful threat.

"Mr. Laughless, do you really think that name suits me? It suits you better," he said, provoking another round of laughter. I retorted, "If you persist, Mr. Laughless, I'll ensure you become one if you don't stop laughing." He managed to control his smile at that point.

The moment I eagerly awaited has arrived, now she knows who she calls as Mr. Hellion, aka her client. When she discovered that I am her client, her big black eyes widened for a moment. Then, the presentation began, and after three hours, I asked questions regarding the project, and her team efficiently resolved them.

Did she really notice that I was watching her while clarifying doubts? No, that could never happen. Later, I discussed with Siddharth whether we could finalize the project or not

"That was a good presentation. Regarding finalizing the project, I'll announce it after a short break. For now, everyone can leave the room," I declared.

Everyone nodded and left, but that girl saw me with eyes rolling, silently mocking me! Ugh! I hate her. That settles it—the decision is made. I am not letting her off the hook after she sprayed that spray on my face without even offering an apology!!!

After the break, everyone reassembled in the meeting hall. "As the CEO of GUI company, we accept the proposal of your company," I declared, extending my hand to the director and signing the deal. Amid the joy, I continued, "Maybe I signed your deal, but I have some requirements and corrections about the project. Also, I want a representative from your company to stay in ours until the building is completely constructed, starting from day 1".

The branch director responded, "Sure, sir, we will fulfill the requirements and send a person until the deal concludes." He then suggested, "I would like to select the person for the project to come over to Mumbai."

While he was speaking i searched for that one girl, there she is Divya having a conversation with her colleague while her client is still here..

Then ,I said "Your team architect, Divya, can come to Mumbai to address the project , what would you say  director ??? " Everyone looked at me like I had cursed the director in front of  everyone.
The director interrupted  "Sir, my apologies, but she is just the team lead for the architecture group in this project. I would like to recommend Mr. Prakash, the civil engineer."

"No but's or other volunteers, I need an architect to change some things in your plan, understand?" I immediately opposed the director.

"Sir, but..."

"I said no but's, understand!" With a cold gaze and voice, I warned him, and the director gulped and nodded.

"If nobody has any objection,We can proceed further .Day 1 for this project shall start from next week. If you have any doubts regarding the project or deal, address my assistant," while I was saying i looked at Divya, who was stunned and surprised at that moment.

As we left the meeting room, Sid asked while entering the lift, "Really, what happened to you after coming to Chennai?"  I checked the time and replied , "Let's vacate the room, book a flight ticket for Mumbai, and reschedule the meeting we missed today to tomorrow."

Sid questioned, "Okay, as your command. But why are you not replying to my question? Also, I don't know why you asked me to collect details about Divya yesterday, and now you're making her come to Mumbai. Why?"  I hate how he pronounced the name 'Divya'.

"Why do I have to answer your questions, Sid? It's my wish for what I would like to do," I replied as the lift doors opened. "From childhood, I know why you collect a person's details—one, it's for torturing them or killing them," Sid remarked as we walked towards parking. then  I replied,

"For neither reasons."

While opening the car door, I heard a sweet scream, "Please wait!" When I turned around, Divya was running towards me. As she neared, the rose smell from her entered my nose. "Sir, I know that we have not met in a proper or good way, but please, I can't come to Mumbai for this project. After all, I am a junior team lead, and to improve your plans, you'll need an experienced person, not me. I know why you are targeting me, but please, leave me from this project," she pleaded with her big black eyes.

I pressed my lips and said, "What did you think about me? That I am taking revenge on you because you cursed me or sprayed on me yesterday or because of yesterday's incident ??? No, I want you to come for this project professionally and don't waste my time!" As I said this with my cold tone, I could clearly see her swallow in fear. Then, I entered the car and left the office.

While driving, I knew what Sid is thinking about me right now. Why did he collected details about her yesterday and say that he needs her only for professional reasons now . Yep, I also don't know what makes me collect details about her, notice her, and say that I need her professionally...?????

This is how the start of obsession looks like, Mr. Arjun. A lot of things are waiting for both of them. What do they think? Is fate making some kind of joke???

When she reached her home, she saw lots of slippers in front of her house, feeling a bit confused. Then, she entered....
