'Mr.Bimol Roy's son would be taking over their business as per their latest press announcement and the man lives in Australia. Our head office is in Australia and anyways Mr.Nayak will be going to Australia two weeks from now. The reason I rescheduled the meeting!!!' she said as she explained about the new schedule that she had managed to prepare overnight.

When did she prepare it? As much as I was aware...she had not completed the report yesterday evening and at night... we were together. I mean I still cannot erase the scene I saw last night. Especially after the argument we had last night. I didn't think I could tolerate her disobedience any longer but then one moment changed everything.

12 hours ago...

I grit my teeth the minute those words came out of her mouth. So much so that I dug my own nails into my palms as I clenched them tightly.

Disobedience!!!

I hate it!!!

Call it my anger, my ego or my attitude problem...I couldn't take disobedience from ANYONE!!!

The only person who could be disobedient to me as of now was Roshni. And that's because she's a child. Even then I try to teach her what is right and wrong and my child is a quick learner. She throws a few tantrums but then what would you expect from my daughter? She's my sperm and that anger on her tiny little nose and her oozing sarcasm at times is enough proof for the world to know she's my baby.

But that doesn't mean I'll take that same arrogance from anybody else.

No matter you are my employee...or my wife!!! When your name is associated with Shankar Indira Nayak...it means you deal things in the way I like!!!

I'm usually as cool as a cucumber but when someone gets on my nerves..I dance on their head.

I didn't understand why did she have to always stick to that Dustbin? I had asked him to help her with her onboarding process but that did not mean he should stick to her like a chewing gum stuck in a hair strand!!! Her onboarding formalities were completed yet he kept accompanying her everywhere.

This morning as I stepped into the office I heard a familiar laughter which made me stop from taking my private elevator. I turned around and noticed her giggling and laughing as that stupid Dustbin kept cracking god alone knows which dumb joke. I noticed as they took the left corridor which goes to the cafeteria.

As much as I remembered when I called Linda this morning to join us for the meeting, Linda had told me she would get late to the office as she had some personal work and that Anamika would board the car post her breakfast. Linda said she loved a good chocolatey breakfast and Richard was in the charge today. I chuckled as I thought she may not be Roshni's birth mother but their habits are so alike. My daughter could eat Chocolate waffles and donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner without complaining.

Although I had not told Linda the reason for why I asked her to join us this morning, I had finally decided to let the bygones be bygones. Linda could help Anamika understand her roles and responsibilities. I didn't know if she could be a good assistant but then I was impressed seeing her dedication on day one and genuinely wanted to give her a fair chance. But the minute I saw Anamika with that Dustbin...I was curious to know why was she again going to the cafeteria.

And then I saw the way she was laughing and giggling at Dustin's dumb jokes. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all.

And then I notice the way her eyes move in the direction where we had the office cafeteria's coffee bar. But wait a minute??? Why is she looking at the coffee, as much as I remember...she seems to avoid coffee due to her pregnancy. But then I see her chuckling and looking again in that direction and that's when I notice an average looking bulky piglet brewing coffee and looking in their direction and passing them a crooked smile.
