Chapter 4

Piya's POV

Thud

He might have heard the sound of me falling from the chair. I don't know how I still hold the phone near my ear as I got tangled with its cord.

Yes Sir, coming sir, right away sir.

Without wasting a minute, I untangle myself and move towards his cabin. I straighten myself and knock on the door for his permission to enter.

Come in

Received the calm yet dreadful welcome from my boss. It feels like I'm walking towards my end and only haunting music is missing for a perfect thriller movie.

He..ello Sir

You were saying something, Ms. Sharma, my boss raises his head from the laptop and glares at me while asking no scratch interrogating.

No, Sir. I was just confused and didn't know who was calling. How could I dare to talk to you like that

I try to make things normal but it seems that he will not buy any of my excuses today.

Yes, yes, Ms. Sharma, why will you speak like that in front of your boss. You prefer to talk behind them, questioning their worth and calling nepotism, isn't it?, he might look normal while talking but I can sense the frustration and anger in his tone.

Good going, Piya, you are finally capable of making your own life hell by frustrating him. Now, he holds a grudge on my nepotism comment. Can't he be a little chill? Hmm, If I think that way then yes, he can't be chill with my comment because I'm his employee not his friend. For him, I might be a pest, an unwanted and a crazy pest.

Ms. Sharma

Ms. Sharma

Miss SHARMA

Present Sir, immediately corrected my words seeing his glare, Sorry Sir.

You are impossible, Ms. Sharma. Is this how you work? Without any manners and sense of responsibility towards your boss? I need to have a talk with Simran to see what she's teaching you.

No sir, sorry sir, it's my fault but not hers. I'll be attentive from now onwards and will not give you a reason to get angry.

This time my eyes get teary and I start sobbing. I'm not crying for myself but for Simran. I don't want him to punish her at my expense. There's no effect of my tears on Mr. Beast because he is still glaring at me and giving me, are you done.

I have a meeting in an hour and Simran is not here so you'll be taking care of her responsibilities, he orders.

Okay, Sir

Any questions?

Yes, and what would be my responsibilities?  

He gives me an unbelievable look. I correct my sentence and clarify, I mean, I know that I have to arrange the meeting room, RSVP the members, give hand-outs to everyone, and take notes. Do I have to do anything else apart from this, Sir?

This time he gives me a less angry look and answers my question, no that's all

Okay, thank you, Sir, I'll go and make the arrangements.

No mistakes, Ms. Sharma and I repeat, No mistakes

Noted, Sir
