Beyond the Mask

Two can play the Game

"Mr. Zakir there is still soup in the pot if you are hungry, you can heat it up and have it, Now I will take my leave"

I nodded.

"Get well soon" She said and went away.

She again came in the evening, checked the temperature and repeated the whole course of feeding me along with medicine and spent some time and said bye.

Next day she brought the tiffen when I questioned her why she said healthy food is necessary while we are ill and she know I don't eat tiffen in morning.

Flashback end

From that day on wards she brings me tiffen daily.

Veronika's POV:

SUNDAY:
  The government has changed some policies yesterday night due to which now whole presentation should be changed. Yes, it's said right karma is really a bitch. It's like working on a quotation from new start, the whole day went busy. Now it's 9.00pm I am working in Mr. Zakir's cabin on the presentation and my stomach growled indicating I am hungry and I haven't ate anything since morning.

 "Should I bring dinner here for you both" Ms Meena asked. Internally, I thanked for her concern and I was about to say yes, Mr. Zakir cut me off. 

 "No, I am not hungry" really 'workaholic' I thought.

"I am hungry, I would like to have my dinner here" I said.

"What would you like to have Ms. Veronika" 

" Chocolate fudge, chicken soup, chocolate milkshake, mango milk shake, yeah, that's it." I said. I know chicken soup and mango milk shake is Zakir's favorite, Lets see how much he resists his hunger. Ms. Meena ordered pizza for herself.

 After 30 mins the food has arrived. I took the chicken soup and mango milk shake and opened it so that Mr. Zakir could smell its aroma and I must say just the Aroma of the chicken soup made me even more hungry than before.I kept it on the table in front of him. He saw it from his eyelashes, but didn't react. Two could play the game Mr. Zakir let's see how much you resist.I took my chocolate fudge started eating by moaning at the taste.

"Mmmmmmuh" I moaned at it's taste and it's really tasty.

"Having a favorite food when you're hungry, it's like divine" I said. Ms. Meena knew what I am doing so didn't say anything and supported me.

 "I second it" Ms. Meena said. I saw Mr. Zakir Adam's apple moving indicating he's on the verge of resisting. 

"Mmmmmmuh, what do you say Mr. Zakir" I asked to push him more by sipping a chocolate milkshake.

"Ya, by seeing you moaning with those lips its tempts me to do many things that you can't even imagine Mrs. Veronika" I didn't expected this reply. I turned my head embarrassed hiding my face as it's red by now because of his comment. Ms. Meena giggled by seeing my reaction.

"I mean it tempts me to have chicken soup and mango milkshake" he said sipping a mango milk shake.

 "Both can play the game Ms. Veronika and thanks for the food" He said thanks with sincerity, I his eyes and with that we all had food and again resumed our work. It's 2.00 a.m. and we completed the quotation now we have to re-check it. It took 5 hours for re-checking the quotation.

 "Ms. Veronika it's 7.00 take a rest in the penthouse before presentation"

"You too take rest Mr. Zakir we have just 3 hours for presentation" He nodded. But I know he wont take rest. I sighed and went to take rest in the penthouse.

I kept alarm for 9.00 and soon drifted to sleep on couch in the living room. I just felt I drifted to sleep alarm rang indicating it's 9.00.

 "aghhhhhh" I offed the alarm without seeing it and about to drift in sleep again.

"Mrs. Veronika wake up" I sat on the couch mumbling.

 "Good morning"

"Good morning" he greeted back.

"you could have used any of the rooms Ms. Veronika"

"I was sleepy so just crashed on the couch as I entered"

"I will show you the room, you can fresh up and change, Ms. Meena has already bought you clothes"

"It's so nice of her" I said. He escorted me to the room.I saw my self in the mirror I was looking horrible the wig is about to come off and the hairs are messy and dark circles under my eyes, Mr Zakir saw me in this state ho god I am really looking like a zombie. I hope he didn't observed that i am wearing a wig. 

I took shower and got ready, Mr. Zakir was already waiting for me in the living room. The presentation went really well. It completed around 1.00. We came back to the pent house I can feel Mr. Zakir is not well, so I took him to the penthouse checked his temperature. He is having high fever.

"What would you like to have Mr. Zakir, I will prepare it" I asked him.

"Usual"

"Chicken soup it's then" I made soup and went to his room with the soup in tray.

Knock knock with that I entered the room .

"Chicken soup is ready" I went near him where he sat on the bed and held him tray.

He didn't took the tray from my hand just stared at me with expressionless face. 

"Feed me" he said. It took me a second to understand and started to feed him. He was staring me whole time, which made me move uncomfortably on the bed. 

After feeding him whole soup, he said thank you by kissing my cheeks. This is the first time he had shown affection physically since I am working in this corporation. 

As it said every action has reaction, my cheeks become red as his lips color. I lowered my eyes and turned around to leave but couldn't move as he caught my wrist. I turned around, my eyes met his eyes and we stared each other for few moments in silence , then he broke the silence. 

"What about you"

"Hunnn" as I didn't understood his question. 

"I mean have you had your food" in reply I shook my head. 

"Bring your food hear and have" 

"Okay" I said. He was staring me with feeling in his eyes, that I can't quite catch.

I said "okay " again as he is not leaving my hand.

"Okay?" He said in a questioning manner, I brought my hand up and said

"Mr. Zakir my hand "

"Oh" But he didn't released my hand.

"Okay, but on one condition"
