Once they entered Ram's penthouse, priya gasped as she took in the luxurious place.
It was all made up of a black and white combo which looked perfect with Ram's aura.
Ram locked the door behind him and priya turned to face him as he stepped closer to her in the middle of the living.
"You've snatched away my job" She gritted at him.
"You call that a job?" Ram replied sarcastically.
"Whatever that is, I atleast got some pay.."
"Fuck it! If you want higher pay just tell me.."
"No, I deserve..."
"Shutup! Shut the fuck up Priya!" Ram yelled making her flinch at her place.
"DON'T FUCKING TEST MY PATIENCE" He gritted fisting his hands on either sides.
"I'm...not scared... of.. of you" Her voice stuttered badly.
"I don't intend to scare you anyways" Ram sighed "Just listen to me please.."
Priya nodded slowly and he made her sit on the couch before sitting next to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"See, I know that you're a strong headed girl.. but please please let me help you priya.. I know you don't want any help in any form... but I want to do things for you... I swear I have no wrong intention behind anything... I just want to see you happy and want you safe.." He said softly as he held one of her hands in his free hand and rubbed his thumbpad across her fingers and knuckles.
Her eyes teared up but she composed herself as she tilted her head to look at him who was already looking at her with his soft gaze.
"I'm... I'm nowhere near you... I..."
"It's just stupid society things! You're a human, I'm a human. What's the difference tell me?"
"I don't want you to work at such cheap places, I care about your safety" He further added.
"Why? Why do you care about my safety? I'm no one to you.." She mumbled.
"You're my secretary... and we'll have physical relationship now, so if there's a name to this kind of setup then we are that..."
"What if someday, we get fed up of each other and you just throw me out. I'll be homeless"
"I'll get you an apartment and if this situation arises in the future, you can instantly shift to the apartment"
"But still that will be on you.."
"NO! That apartment will be on your name"
"I can't keep.." she shook her head but he interrupted "You can very well pay EMI to me"
She looked at him for brief seconds before saying "You're hell bent on making me stay here"
Ram chuckled at that which made her smile "Yeah, I want you to move in here. And just work for me. Every month 60k will be transferred to your account.."
"I don't want more than what I deserve.."
Ram smiled at her "We'll see about the pay later on, now can I have your items moved in here?"
Priya nodded slowly still skeptical about the idea. It felt out of her comfort zone to take help from him.
"Hey, what happened?" Ram asked sensing her discomfort.
She looked at him and said slowly "I'm not used to anyone looking out for me or even helping me in this way...so...it's just..."
Ram smiled warmly at her and pulled her closer from her shoulders as he still had his arm wrapped around her.
