"Did you just refer to my cock being seen by girls?"

"Well I said naked, you assumed I was talking about your mhm yeah so no I am not explicit"

"I didn't assume shit Nandini, it was exactly what you were thinking about and I am not sure if I should fire you or punish you"

"Neither, you should give me a promotion" I say nodding

"What for?" He asks

"Mhm dealing with your mood swings and dramatic ass for 5 months now, I heard all your assistants ran within weeks"

"Thats because they didn't have good work ethic" he explains

"It is because you are a tough cookie and people can't figure their way out around you plus 99.9% of human specimen out there is scared to even utter a single word to you"

He smirks proudly as if that is the point.

"The question is, why aren't you scared of me?" He asks

"Mhm I think it's because I know you don't mean any harm, also because you  seem like a total teddy bear on the inside"

"I am not" he says

"I said seem like and you don't have to go crush every good compliment about you"

His eyes look in mine for the longest time, I try not to keep the eye contact because I feel like I am underwater when he looks at me, like the rest of the world does not matter

"Ahh Manik" I whine when his hand grips my hands behind my back

"Why the fuck do you do this to me nandini?" He asks

"I didn't do anything" I whisper

"Your eyes look in mine like you know me as a person, you know who I am"

"I do"

I could see myself getting lost in his eyes.

"You don't, you don't know shit but thats the thing"

"Huh?"

"You are doing this to me, you are doing all of this on purpose"

"What are you talking about?" I ask still being confused

"Check your emails and book off a week for us" he says

"Taking me on a vacation??" I smile

"Work trip to Bali" he mumbles

His eyes leave mine but they don't look away from my face

"Why should I go?"

"Aren't you my assistant?"

"Yeah but do you really need me there?"

"it's in the contract Nandini, you don't need to book tickets"

"Are you swimming there?"

"What?" He frowns

"How are you getting to Bali if you don't want a ticket?" I ask

"My jet"

"How the fuck do you own a jet? Dude how rich are you?"

"Richer than you think nandini"

"Like how rich?"

"I can buy anything"

"Can you buy the Eiffel Tower?" I ask

"No but I can buy you some time at the Eiffel Tower"

"God damn you are rich as fuck"

"I guess" he mumbles

There is a bit of something in his tone, his voice, his expressions.

"Ahh manik that hurts" I whisper when he twists my wrist

It didn't hurt much but just a sting at the pressure

"Nandini are you working for anyone else?" He asks loosening his hold on me but still not letting go

"Anyone else? No, do you really think that I have enough time?" I ask

"When someone wants to do something they will, do you know who nyonika is?" He asks

"Nyonika? Who?" I ask

"Don't be coy, it's a simple question"

"The answer to that question is no I do not know who that is and nor do I work for anyone else. I barely get time for myself working for you"

"Have you figured out the cctv footage from that morning when a file was present on my desk?"

"Nope, Arun said he will get back to me about it but he hasn't. you don't have much today other than those clients so I will go and figure that out today"

"get it done before the end of today, we leave tomorrow morning"

"The fuck do you mean we leave tom? I haven't packed and why do you give me such notice"

"Because I'm your boss miss Nandini, now go get your shit together"

"Manik" I whisper

He doesn't hum but all his attention was on me

"Manik" I whisper again

I didn't want to say anything, just wanted his attention for some reason

"All my attention is yours hun, you don't have to fight for it"

I couldn't help but grin at his words, not sure how he understood that but whatever, I love that he validates my feelings without knowledge of it

"Go get your stuff packed and get the thing sorted"

I hum trying to wiggle out of his hold but of course he doesn't let me

"Manik you have to let my arms go"

"Do I?" He asks

Oh man, something has changed for sure. This isn't my Manik, shit did I just call him mine?

What I meant was he is always a monster but right now he is talking, he isn't pushing. Usually when I ask questions or wonder something he doesn't give two hoots about it but today he is responding

"Go on nandini" he whispers

"My arms" I whisper back making him smirk

It took me a second to realize he had already left my arms, it was way too embarrassing when he smirks wider at me, I didn't even look at him before leaving the room

"Ahhh what the fuck is wrong with you nandini?" I scold myself

This is so obnoxious of me to be acting like this with him, he is your boss and you said the word 'cock' to him

So bad, this is so bad.
