"How many times do I have to tell you Ms. Kapoor? What in the exact world is wrong with you?" He shouts sitting on his chair, as he reviews the drafts I made.
I stand there, my eyes watery with tears, almost on the verge of crying, however I hold my tears back. Trying my best to not breakdown here in the office.
"This is unacceptable." He taunts. His voice heavy and enraged.
"I-I am sorry-really sorr-y, s-sir." I stammer. Every word I let out draws me more close to the edge of breaking down.
"Give- me one more chance, Sir. T-this time, I will get it done." I plead.
"This is 8th time you have drafted this Ms. Kapoor." He snaps up in anger and slams the documents to right where I am standing.
I flinch hard in fear.
A tear finally fills my face.
"Atharv! Relax, please relax. Evara, tum bahar jao." Ahaan sir quickly grabs Atharv sir's hand before he advances towards me.
"Why are you doing this with me?" Heavy tears fall down my face as I ask with my cracked voice.

"Why? Why all this? Why with me Atharv?" I cry.
"Sir."
His voice demanding, as he corrected me.
An array of tears flow down my face again. I sob uncontrollably, standing there.
"I gave you one damn thing to get done with. And you can't even draft a single report? Go read that bloody draft. And then tell me, how am I supposed to show that to the board, the stakeholders, the investors or the media?" He scolds me harshly with his words.
"Maybe stop going on dates with random guys. And maybe start paying more attention to your job." Every word that escapes his mouth lashes me like a strong whip. His jaw tightens as he spits out hate.
"You are stalking me." My voice trembles as tears stream down my face, while I feel disgusted by his stare and his statement.
He laughs. Laughs like a maniac, and then again seers his eyes into mine and leans in to spit venom through his words as he continues,
