Adhira

So, just for information, work starts at 9, but I'm here at 7:30 itself.
There is literally not a single soul around, if you leave the security guards.

I mean, it's work, obviously I did not expect people to be here so early. Hell, I didn't even expect me to be so early, but since I've to take a nearly three hour break, I needed to.

I had honestly forgotten that no one would be here so early, so even though I was so early, I was still not able to go in my cabin, cause it was locked.

After a lot of wandering here and there, trying to figure out what I can do about it, I went back to the gate and asked the security person for help.

And finally I'm in my cabin. Even though I'm early, I'm dreading asking for a break in between.

I mean, I'm still temporary and I need to be in the best possible behavior so that i can be a permanent.

And obviously, a three hour break between work is not the best personal assistant behavior.

I quickly sat down to work. I made Mr. Malhotra's all the meeting lists and all the other stuff he has lined up. I replied to the few emails that i had forgotten to do yesterday.

Not actually forgotten, I'm not used to working on computers. I was ready to give him written stuff, but he wanted it strictly in soft copy, so I needed to do it on the laptop.

But since I'm not used to it, it took me a lot of time to get used to it and it reduced my working speed.

God! I'm never going to be a permanent!

I cribbed to myself, but soon realized that I should spend time working rather than this stuff.

I began my work and I was done with almost the amount that I did yesterday in two hour. Now that's progress.

I finally lifted my head from the laptop screen to see that most of them had arrived. You see, I have that type of glasses around my cabin, from which you can see outside stuff, but you can't see inside.

I saw Ritvik sir enter with that typical boss scowl. He looks rude, but is actually nice. Like I'm being honest, I'm still scared of him. Cause I don't know how he would react to anything.

Not that I would feel bad, I've been called a shame, worthless, bad omen and even a mistake, so words would not have a great impact on me. I think.

Anyways, not wasting another second, I went to the cafeteria to get him a coffee. I know he said that I should just send it, but I don't know who I am supposed to ask for.

I mean no one here is really interested in talking. To me.

I realised it as soon as everyone left the place I stood and also lowered their voices when I passed by them.

Some actually hate me. For no reason whatsoever, cause I've just been here one day, how can I offend you to an extent where you term me as a bitch.

But anyways, as soon as the coffee was ready I went to his cabin, not before knocking and asking the permission to enter.

"Good Morning Sir. " I greeted as I placed the coffee on his table.

"Good morning, Ms. Mehta. " He replied.

"You punched in quite early today. Do you know the working hours? " He asked.

"Yes sir. Actually I wanted a three hour break, that's why...." I trailed off, falling short of words.

"You do realize that it's just increasing the negative points in your chances to become a permanent. " He stated and I nodded helplessly.

"Sir actually, I live with Ria right now, but she has to permanently leave that place, so I need to shift. I was going to do it on a weekend but then she got a call yesterday... " I started my rant but was cut off by him.

"Ok fine. You can go, but you need to come back and do the work for today should be completed by today. " He said in a commanding tone and I nodded in agreement.

"Yes Sir. Thank you. " I said and then began telling him his schedule for the day.

I'm finally done with the shifting and damn the house is gorgeous.
Can't believe I actually have my own apartment!

As I completed putting down the empty boxes, I realized that it's been freaking four hours!

God! I should've just kept the boxes, why did I needed to arrange the stuff immediately!
I'm so stupid!

I quickly rushed to go back to work, and I even tripped once, but it was not my major concern.

As I reached office, I was actually panting, from how fast I walked. I actually walked only half the way, cause I was lucky to get a bus for the other half, but the bus driver actually dropped me one stop behind.

Not wasting a single second, I immediately went towards my cabin, when I realized that I needed to report back.

So I went to Mr. Malhotra's cabin, where he was still engrossed in some files. Did he not get up since morning?

"Ms. Mehta, I see you're one and a half hour over the time you were given. " He said plainly.

"Yes sir. Sorry. Actually it was sort of my last good bye to Ria, and it took more time than i expected. " I replied.

"But aren't you her best friend? You'll get to say goodbye to her during her wedding too. " He stated with an obvious tone.

"I hope so. " I murmured absentmindedly.

"Pardon? "

"Nothing sir. I'll go and get back to work.

.
.
.

It's past my worktime. Almost everyone has left, but not me.

Cause I just saw that I missed one email yesterday and now I have to sit and prepare stuff so that Sir can have a meeting tomorrow.

" Ms. Mehta why are you still working? I know, I said that you need to complete your work, but it's quite late. Go home now and do it tomorrow. " Sir said as he entered my cabin.

"Actually sir I missed one mail yesterday and we need to send this file that I'm preparing to them by 10 am tomorrow. " I explained.

"So? Do it tomorrow. "

"No sir. Actually I won't be able to be at peace leaving so work pending, plus it's just half and hour more. " I said.

"Ok. Do you want to have coffee? " He asked.

"You want coffee? But sir the cafeteria would be closed. " I said, trying to not sound rude.

"No Ms. Mehta, I don't want a coffee. I'm asking if you want, I can ask someone to arrange it. "

"No sir! I won't be able to afford it. " I murmured the last part to myself.

"What? "

"Nothing, I will just complete the work and leave. " I said with a smile to which he just nodded and left.

Come on Adhira,
Get back to grinding!
