The Veiled Hearts

🌹Kitty under Desk🔪

Vanya crouched under the working table, her heart pounding as she said "Please, God, save me today. I promise I won't do anything morally wrong again or put myself in this kind of position. I will control my hunger."
       
She glanced at the wet beard beside her, frustration boiling over,"And why in the world did the beard have to get wet? The glue that was holding it on my skin is ruined. Even if I manage to get out of here, what will I do about the beard?"
       
Vanya heard the door creak open and tried to stay calm. She focused on the shadows cast on the wall in front of her, counting the figures. She saw the silhouettes of two men and, from behind them, a woman approached. Her mind raced, trying to figure out her next move while keeping as still and quiet as possible.
       
As Yash approached his desk, the familiar weight of the day settled on his shoulders. He placed his iPad on the polished glass surface, its screen flickering to life as he prepared to dive into his tasks. Just then, a loud thud echoed through the office, causing him to pause.
       
Before he could fully process the sound, Reyansh asked with a mix of his expression of annoyance and confusion. “Who spilled the water?” he demanded, his voice rising above the usual office chatter. “And someone ate the food! Yash, did you call anyone into your cabin?”Yash furrowed his brow, bewildered. He shook his head slowly, trying to recall if he had missed anything in the morning rush.
       
His office was supposed to be a sanctuary of productivity, not a battleground for snack thieves and clumsy coworkers.Feeling a sense of urgency, he quickly reached for his phone and called Shweta, his reliable assistant. She always had her finger on the pulse of the office. “Shweta,” he said as soon as she answered, “My cabin,now.” in a stern voice
       
The mystery of the spilled water and the missing food gnawed at him, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off."Yes sir,” Shweta replied, her voice calm and collected.“Hmmm,” Yash replied, rubbing the back of his neck, already feeling the tension build,with Reyansh still standing by the doorway, arms crossed and tapping his foot impatiently, Yash took a deep breath, preparing for whatever Shweta would uncover.
       
As Shweta hurried into Yash's office, her face flushed with urgency, Yash's frustration bubbled over. “Where were you?” he demanded, his voice slightly raised. “Who came into my office without my notice, spilled water, ate food, and just left? This is the kind of security we have for the CEO of Sighania Enterprises?”Shweta glanced at the food table, her eyes widening as she took in the scene. Then, she turned back to Yash, her expression a mix of concern and confusion. “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t see anyone come in, but I’ll check the CCTV footage right away.”
       
Meanwhile, hidden beneath the desk, Vanya listened intently to the unfolding drama. She pressed her hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle, her cheeks stuffed with the food she had swiped earlier. The thrill of her stealthy snack raid made her heart race, but she knew she had to keep quiet to avoid getting caught.
       
Reyansh, sensing the rising tension in the room, leaned in slightly and gestured to Yash to lower his voice. “Hey, man, just calm down. It’s not the end of the world,” he whispered, trying to defuse the situation.Yash took a deep breath, running a hand through his hair as he glanced back at Reyansh. “I know, but it’s frustrating. I can’t have anyone just wandering in here like this.” His voice softened slightly, but the annoyance lingered in his tone.
       
Shweta nodded, pulling out her phone to access the security system. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Just give me a moment,” she assured, her fingers flying over the screen.Vanya, still crouched under the desk, fought hard to suppress her laughter as she watched the three of them navigate the chaos. She could only hope that her little escapade wouldn’t be uncovered just yet.
       
As Reyansh and Shweta waited for the security team’s notification about who had entered Yash's office in the last two hours, Yash's mind raced with thoughts of the hidden cameras he had strategically placed in his office. It was a precautionary measure, but now it felt like the perfect tool to uncover the mystery.He strode back to his desk, picked up his iPad, and quickly accessed the live feed from the hidden cameras.
       
As the footage loaded, he felt a surge of anticipation. The first clip showed the food caterer entering his room, setting down a lavish spread of snacks and drinks before leaving without a hitch. But it was the next clip that caught his attention.Yash watched as a Sikh man entered immediately after the caterer, moving directly toward the food with an eagerness that made Yash chuckle.
       
The man dug in, not bothering to pause or even glance around. A smirk crept onto Yash’s face as he murmured, “Oh! It was the bodyguard puppy invasion.”For the next few minutes, he observed the footage, chuckling at the audacity of the man.
       
But then, the screen shifted again, and Yash’s attention sharpened. The puppy he met earlier this  morning appeared on the screen. began to shake its little body, removed his beard which had food remnants ,murmuring something that sounded suspiciously like a soft whine.
       
Yash leaned closer, intrigued. He increased the volume of his earbuds and could clearly hear Vanya’s voice coming through, muttering playfully to herself and praying to the god as she nibbled on the stolen food. His smile widened as he realized, “Oh! The male puppy was actually a sneaky female kitty!” ."Shweta,” he called, his tone was changed into a serious voice. “You can tell the security team I don’t need their information and be careful next time ”.
       
Reyansh, who had been watching Yash's expression change from frustration to mirth, raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. Before he could ask what was going on, Yash held up a hand and said, “I need to be alone for a bit. I have a lot of work to do.”With that, he turned back to his iPad, replaying the video and watching the part where Vanya is still hiding under his desk.
       
Reyansh knew something suspicious was going on but chose to stay silent and walked out.But Shweta said stayed in and said that,"Sorry to say it now sir, but I think we need to take a rigorous action towards the activities happening in the training centre of bodyguards "
       
Yash asked her with a confused face ,"What happened?". Shweta said ," Sir there is a bodyguard named Vansh sharma who has been caught for molesting a girl and he beaten my brother who went to stop him"
       
Yash smiled in his mind,"A girl molesting a girl, that's new in market" and later said to Shweta he will check on it for now he needs to be alone.
       
As Shweta went out.Yash clicked a button in his ipad and locked the entry door and with angered and stern voice said,"
       
"COME OUT NOW ,MISS VANSH SHARMA"
