Kindly vote for previous chapters, if you haven't ...... and be my motivation..... enjoy the reading.... amigos....

Manya's pov

I was smiling the whole night like a fool. There's no use denying it because I know I have started to fall for him. His eyes lit up the way he spoke to me, and his deep ocean orbs never failed to hypnotize me. All these feelings are foreign to me but I like them.

It's still 7:30 a.m. and I am eagerly waiting to reach the office and get a glimpse of Arjun. Almost jumping from my bed I rushed to the bathroom and quickly dressed up in a navy blue kurta and black jeans.

I moved towards the kitchen and saw my mom making tea.

"Mummy,...nashtaa (breakfast)...?????" I called. 

"yeah.... Coming ...coming..." Mom replied from the kitchen.

"Where is Dad...?" I asked Mom. As he is nowhere to be seen.

" He went to Rahul & Mansi's' house." My head shot up instantly.

"Why???"

"Don't know. He said nothing, maybe a casual visit" Mom shrugged her shoulders while saying.

But I doubt Dad's sudden visit to their house too in the early morning.

"Did you talk to Rudra? He desperately wanted to talk to you, especially after getting to know about the incident."

Of course, Rudra, my over-protective brother just like Dad. Thank god, he is not here all this time otherwise I would be taking lectures from 'Rudra Baba'....🙄🙄

Just like other siblings, we do fight a lot but we do love each other a lot.

" yeah... Maa.. he did call me not to ask about my well-being but to scold me..." I complained pouting and she laughed.

" the one who loves us are the ones who scolds us because they care for our wellbeing..." and saying this she disappeared in the kitchen.

As soon as I entered, I was informed that Boss demanded my presence ASAP.

I hurriedly entered the cabin not before asking his permission to enter. He looks dashing in his business attire as always.

Arjun sits behind his mahogany desk, his gaze fixed on the documents scattered before him.

He smiled looking at me but I could see that smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Manya, please have a seat," Arjun says, gesturing toward the plush chair opposite him.

I, with my ever-efficient demeanor, obey, though I notice a certain tension in his voice.

"Manya, I need to discuss something delicate with you," He begins his words carefully chosen.

I furrow my brows slightly, sensing the gravity of the conversation to come.

"You've been an invaluable part of this company," He continues his gaze momentarily flickering to meet mine before darting away. "Your dedication, your professionalism—it's truly admirable."

A faint blush creeps onto my cheeks as I nod, uncertainty pooling in my stomach.

He clears his throat, steeling himself for what he's about to say. "However, there's something I need to address. It's not about your performance—it's about.... never mind."
