The Female Boss (CURRENTLY ON HOLD)

Chapter 12

Pamela's pov

I blinked as the figure shifted and it revealed to be Miss Bose ! I heaved a sigh of relief but again stiffened when I realised this creep can overpower both of us. But to my surprise Miss Bose, with her oozing confidence and splendid charisma, walked towards Sethi, who was quite perplexed now. Walking would be an understatement, the gait was that of a predator, stalking its prey before pouncing on it and shredding it into pieces. But on her face was a smile that,only I understood, she often plastered when dealing with people she disliked - in one word - fake. I watched as a sultry laugh escaped her mouth, surprising us both.

She shoved her hand right in front of his face and gave him a seductive smile, "Won't you tell me how I look ?" she asked in a teasing voice. I gaped, seeing this side of her for the first time.

Mr. Sethi seemed to be thinking the same as it took him a moment to recover from the surprise. But he quickly regained his nerves and held her hand, which was almost squashing his nose, "Ah, beautiful! You're absolutely beautiful, there's no doubt about that." He kissed her hand and I mentally cringed. Bloody creepo !

Miss Bose smiled and only I noticed her wiping the kissed hand on her skirt. I almost laughed. She did not like this man a bit, but she is here for my rescue. I nearly cried in gratitude

"How do you do Mr. Sethi ? Long time no see,huh ?"

She knows him. Of course she does, you are the one who is new, not she, what a fool you are Pamela! Mr. Sethi visibly recovered himself and pretended as if nothing was going on few minutes ago.

"I am very well, how are you Miss Bose ? May I add that you look really pretty tonight, as always." He said in the same charming voice he used to deceive me a few minutes ago.
I looked at Miss Bose's outfit, nothing new or extraordinary, except that, she didn't wear black today, instead she wore grey. Knowing Miss Bose, this was indeed a huge difference.

Miss Bose laughed and suddenly turned towards me, "I see you have already met my secretary Pamela."

One of his brow rose, "Indeed. I didn't know she was your secretary though. In fact, we were getting to know each other better when you arrived", he took my hand and eyed me lustfully, "a very charming secretary you got Miss Bose, very pleasant indeed". I cringed.

Miss Bose rolled her eyes subtly and before he could kiss my hand, snatched it away from his grasp. I sighed in relief while Mr. Sethi eyed her .

She smiled, "Indeed Mr. Sethi. And this charming secretary was assigned with an important work which,I am sure, she hasn't finished, so excuse her please." She left my hand and motioned me with her eyes to leave.
I turned to go, ready to escape,  when Sethi's voice stopped me in my tracks.

"Just a minute Miss Sen."

I turned back towards them slowly, anticipation clear on my face. He however, didn't waste another moment. He turned to Miss Bose,

"I have an offer for you and your secretary, Miss Bose. One you probably can't refuse. Just hear it out before you two leave."

I glanced at Miss Bose, my face mirroring her own. Her eyes were narrowed, confusion etched on her face. What is this offer he's talking about? However, we both said nothing. Mr. Sethi smiled, seeing us confused and continued,

"I know how much you work for this company Miss Bose. In fact, I've often heard the gossip that the company has improved so much in the last 5 years because of you. You are the one who is giving your all on the company which is owned by Mr. Nandy. So not fair ! If he wanted he could hand over one of the executive powers to you Miss Bose, knowing that you are the real force behind the success of the company..." he dramatically reached for his wine glass and paced between us, "...but no ! he acted as biased as he could and made that useless son of his the CFO of the company. What a waste of talent !" He shook his head side to side, frowning.

If I disliked this man before, I absolutely loathed him now. How dare he say such bad things about such good men like Mr. Nandy and Robin sir ! I glanced at Miss Bose, hoping for the similar reaction from her, but was shocked to see a smirk tugging at her lips !

"You are stating what I already know, Mr. Sethi, can we skip to your point ?" She sipped the glass of her own wine, looking very calm and bored.

"My point, Miss Bose, is that you should leave the company which isn't providing you what you deserve the most.. that is, the best position in the company. Instead of wasting your time and effort on a company where the owner doesn't recognise your effort, you should join us, the Sethi Group Ltd., for you deserve the best, and I'm here to offer you the best." He whispered, loud enough for us to hear, his eyes gleaming with hidden malice, "My offer, Miss Bose, or rather you can say, a deal, will guarantee you and your secretary a better place in the corporate world."

My face scrunched in rage and disbelief , because the woman who was my boss, leaned forward in interest and very calmly asked,

"Elaborate the deal, Mr. Sethi".
