Author's POV :


It had been a week since Shirina started working at Sisodia Industries and everything had not gone so smoothly. It was just the way she expected...hectic and troublesome. And the biggest trouble to her was her boss, Abhyudit, or Fireball, as she had named him. From overloading her with work to giving orders and deadlines, which she somehow had managed to tackle. With his intimidating glares and warning remarks, he made sure to make the job tough for her.

She didn't make friends in the office nor she was interested in making one. However, her interaction with some of the employees around had made her aware that no person on the same post as her in the past had made it for more than one month. And she felt disappointment—for herself.

Perhaps, she had concluded that Abhyudit Sisodia had some personality disorder, and working with him was challenging and daring. It was all about her struggling to remain more careful and tolerant.

At present, she was standing in front of him, keeping his coffee and schedule on the table, patiently waiting for him to dismiss her.

"We will be leaving for the meeting after two hours. Take the important documents and make the preparations." Abhyudit finally speaks, making her look at him in surprise.

"We? But you didn't tell me this before, sir." The words come out of her mouth before she could process them.

"Oh, I apologize that I couldn't report to you beforehand. By the way, do you mind repeating to me what is your position in this office?" He replies animatedly and adds the second part after a pause, leaning back on the chair with his serious face.

"I am your personal assistant, sir." Shirina answers looking at the floor scolding herself in her mind for opening her mouth without second thought. Of course this was her job to assist him everywhere and follow his orders.

"I am sorry, sir." That's all she could say.

"I am hearing this sentence from you for the thirteenth time since last week. I suggest, next time, you can add this as your hobby."

It was a sarcastic comment from his side and it angered her that indeed he was keeping a count of her apologies, which were unnecessary, according to her. She stands there silently, controlling the urge to give him a befitting reply. Only if she could.

"If you are done cursing me in your mind, you can leave to accomplish the tasks."

Her head snaps towards Abhyudit, hearing his words. Her eyes widen as she stares at him. Shaking her head in no and yes at the same time, she excuses herself and makes her out, not before having noticed the smirk on his face.

"What does this man even of himself? suggest-add-hobby. Huh, as if he adds spitting fire on people in his hobbies. Mr. Fireball!" Shirna mutters imitating him, as she reaches her desk being done with him. Then, she gets herself busy in doing the work he assigned, not wanting to face his wrath.
