Ciel solasta

It was a normal day with employees working non-stop, some leaving the building after completing their night shifts, some entering after punching their attendance at reception. In the midst of 'normal' atmosphere, there was the CEO who just entered in the lift with his hard breath, huffing and why not he just shouted on one of his employee for some mere mistake at the site from which he just returned early morning.

When he entered his office, there was already a cup of his bitter espresso coffee cup 1 of the day. Note the sarcasm. He took a glance at her desk and her small cubicle, which he arranged just outside his office in a way that he can easily look at her and her all the actions she performs.

He noticed that her desk was full of documents, papers, pens, paper weights, stapler, pencils, measuring scales, pamphlets, banner design magazines, and so many things. Knowing her having an OCD to keep things at their place, he frowned and thought about how a clean freak person could have this messing on the table.

While he was busy thinking, she just entered her cabin, tying her hair in a messy bun and arranging her simple cotton saree, which she usually wears in the office. Earlier, as he ordered her to wear saree other than suits and also allowed formals only on some necessary occasions like business summits, international project presentations, and all.

He saw she was looking so tired with dark circle and eye bags under her eyes screaming that they needed to be close! She was rapidly doing her work, and in no time, she arranged all the things at their place. He was watching her all doing far from his office by keeping his hands in his pockets. She huffed loudly and tiredly sat on the seat and drank two three sips of water to relax herself.

He checked his digital watch placed on his desk, showing time 9.45 am. He was wondering what was running in her little mind that she's working like this fast as if she have to -

He stopped his thoughts suddenly and walked around his mahogany brownish broad desk and took the watch in his hand he read out loud,

"7th July"

He sighed. 7th of every month she always took a day off to visit her younger brother shivansh, but today's date, 7th of july, is the only day she took the full day leave. He himself has allowed her to take a day off as she never took any other than this. She even works on festivals, whether there's granted or ungranted leave. Her leaves are exceptional for his family requirements only.

In no time, she entered not before taking deep breaths, encouraging herself for some little of his daily humiliation and pinch of taunts with sprinkled irritated expressions of him. Perfect recipe, though.

She knocked and stood for almost a min or two when allowed her to enter saying 'in'. He deliberately waited for a min or two to keep her waiting outside his big office door. He saw her getting ready for whatever was coming towards her through cctv on his mobile screen.
