Not His Type Of Woman

2:NickNames

Adi beckoned me toward his office, he sat down on a chair, tapping his chin "So, Zoya, I need your help"

I crossed my arms "Now what would Mr Big Shot need my help with" I rolled my eyes making him chuckle

"Its simple really, my staff are what do you say, bland, and you are like the special ingredient I need to make my staff spice up a little, so I want you to run a workshop, inspire them, make them happier about working for me"

I was stunned for words, I had no training at all and I couldn't believe that this was actually happening "What's the catch"

He smirked, rubbing his hand over his stubble "You dont know how boring my staff are, the job wont be easy, but this job as a maid has to go, when you work for me, I dont want any circumstances, you can tell your husband to that you'll be working late and not to disturb you" he glanced down, flicking the table

"I dont have a husband"

He glanced back up "Great, you start tomorrow, I already called your boss"

My jaw dropped "How could you be so sure I was going to take the job"

"Hm, its simple really, you wanted an out and I gave you one, this way we both benefit something"

Urgh, he was so cocky, but so handsome, smart and funny, I was 100% sure that he had a line of women wanting him. "Okay, ill be here at 9 then" I glanced around as the door opened to see a man walk in, he eyed me up and down

"Ah, aren't you the one that spilt drink all over my cousin last night"

"Ah, yes, the famous server, now if you'll excuse me" I went to walk past him when he grabbed my wrist

"Now that was something I missed, but it is all over the news, and I figure actually that a woman like you would gain a lot from an encounter like that"

"I didnt do it on purpose if that's what you're assuming, I have far better things to do in life than risk my job for five minutes of fame, but I suppose you wouldn't know anything about that, ill be running a workshop tomorrow, right here, so why dont you drop by and ill teach you how to grab the eye of the media" I allowed my eyes to trail up and down him "Because, clearly, you need all the help you can get" I froze when I heard laughter from behind me

"Didnt I say she's got bite, really, she's one of a kind" Adi laughed

I really wasn't in the mood to be joked about today, it was so early in the morning and getting caught between the chuckle brothers wasn't my idea of a great start. I shuffled past them both, walking towards the door when I heard my name being called.

"Here, write your email down on this, I need to send some stuff over to you"

My cheeks flushed red, my email ID was a joke between me and my sister and I knew if he read it, he would have a lot to say, but if I got out of there fast enough I may get away with it, what was wrong with me? Oh yeah, I fancied the pants off of Mr Big Shot! I wrote it down quickly then ran out.

I watched him look down with a puzzled look behaya_shabab_kebab@gmail.com was not something I was proud of, but Noor's ID was worse, not that he knew that.

I was sat before my laptop watching one of those cute kitten videos when I saw my email notification pop up.

adihooda@gmail.com

I have to ask, what on earth your email means? Is there anything about you that's normal Zoya?
-Mr Big Shot

behaya_shabab_kebab@gmail.com

If you must know, it means shameless youth kebab, normal is boring Mr adihooda@gmail.com. Since you liked my nickname so much I really feel like it would be a good idea for you to rename your email ID.
Yours sincerely,
Zoya

adihooda@gmail.com

Mine sincerely? Now Zoya, dont you think this is moving a little fast? Also, I feel you need a nickname to, as you said normal is boring! How did you manage to get that nickname? How about Adi ki aryal chamchi?
-Mr Big Shot

behaya_shabab_kebab@gmail.com

Excuse me! I am not stroppy, and im not your anything, now who's moving to fast? Sexual advances in the workplace is against policy. How about something like beautiful Zoya?
-100% not yours, Zoya!

adihooda@gmail.com

Okay, fine, but I thought it was a great name. Now, I won't deny your nickname has some truth, but its not enough, im going to call you Ziddi Zoya! Its alliteration to, does that mean I get brownie points;)?
-Mr Big Shot

behaya_shabab_kebab@gmail.com

I suppose that will do. Im flattered of course, ill screenshot this and send it to the media for another five minutes of fame. Brownie points in order to achieve what?
-Ziddi Zoya

adihooda@gmail.com

Has that still annoyed you? Honestly, my cousin is immature and protective, don't worry about him. I dont know, depends Zoya, what would you like me to achieve?
-Mr Big Shot

Now I was sure I was going to have a heart attack, he was such a flirt, but it did nothing for my crush on him!

behaya_shabab_kebab@gmail.com

Slightly. I wonder where he gets his immaturity from? *hint hint* its you! I feel like these emails are straying from work, so before your cousin finds anything else to get mad at me about, im going to stop and get some sleep. Dont miss me to much.
-Ziddi Zoya

When he didnt reply I was sure I had annoyed him by what I said, but my pride wouldnt allow me to email him back again. As usual, I had gotten myself stuck in a silly situation, but then again, what was I expecting? I had a crush on my now boss, and enjoyed winding it up, I mean, dont we all dream of a handsome man who can take jokes and give it back! No? Just me then.

I wandered into the office, only to see the whole lobby full of staff members all glancing my way. "Everyone, this is Zoya, but im afraid the right to call her by her name is only mine, so you may call her ma'am"

Oh yay, I now sounded like a strict elderly teacher, thanks Adi, thanks a lot! Although, on the plus side, he didnt seem mad, so maybe it was okay.

"Oh Zoya, do introduce yourself to everyone" he smiled before walking away

And all I could think as everyone stared my way, was why had I spilt that damn drink.
