Diya's POV

" Hey, Diya. Good morning." I heard Philip.

" Oh, hi. Good morning." I said to him smilingly. I was going to office. I saw he was standing beside me for the bus.

" How are you?" He asked me smilingly.

" I am absolutely fine. What about you?" I asked him.

But I was absolutely lying cause I was not fine. I was missing my boss which I shouldn't but I can't help myself. I was missing him and it was killing me. Last night I almost dialed his number but couldn't get enough courage. What if he gets angry!! I don't want to get fired for my stupid feelings towards my boss. I am feeling helpless these days. I am not the strong Diya when I think about staying away from him. My heart doesn't support me in this decision of mine. If this thing keeps going on then the day is not far away when I will resign my job, leave my dream place and go back to India. I can't take this anything. Can't fight with myself when I know I am already defeated. No use of it. I am going to get hurt either way. I was just thinking.

" I am fine as always." He said and smiled again.

" That's great. Where are you going? Office?" I asked him.

" Actually, I am going to meet my friend. You must be going to office, right?" He asked.

" Oh, yes." I said.

" There the bus is." He said and I turned to see the bus.

" We should get in first." I said and he nodded. We got in the bus.

" So, how is office, work and everything?" He asked me.

" So tiring." I said.

" Yeah, I know." He said.

" How is yours?" I asked him.

" Everything is fine." He said. "And a bit weird too." He said.

" Weird? Why so?" I asked.

" Just some problems, you know." He said.

" Ok then. I hope all get solved soon." I said.

" Hoping so." He said.

" Alright then." I said and smiled.

" Did anyone ever tell you that you are very beautiful?" He asked me and I smiled.

" Yeah, people tried." I said.

" And you didn't gave them a chance." He said.

" Yeah, kind of." I said confusedly.

" Yes, you remind me of someone." He said. I was more confused. " Even I told Lisa about you."

" Who is Lisa?" I asked.

" My wife. She wanted to meet you too." He said.

" Oh, now it's making me feel weird." I said honestly.

" Alright, I am sorry for making you confused. May be some day I will try to explain." He said.

" Umm hmm." I said totally confused.

" There is your stoppage." He said.

" Oh, yeah. I should go now." I said.

" Let's go. I will go with till your office." He said.

" Really?!" I asked.

" Yes. Let's go." He said and we both got down.

" Why have you decided to come with me suddenly?" I asked.

" Just like that and my friend's office is one block from here." He said and I nodded.

" Good then." I said and he was coming with me. I reached in front of the office building.

" Bye then, Diya. See you soon." He said and I nodded.

" Bye, Philip." I said waving at him. I entered the office building and saw the people working.

Hasn't Mr. Axton come to office today as well?!! I entered the lift and was waiting for my floor.

" Good morning, Diya." I heard Mia.

" Good morning, Mia." I said and saw Jonathan coming.

" Good morning, Jonny." I said.

" Good morning, Diya. Why are you standing here. Let's go." Jonny said.

" Yeah, let's go." I said but heard someone calling me.

" Diya?" I turned and found Kyle calling me.

" Kyle." I said. " What happened?" I asked.

" There is something wrong with the sketch you gave emailed me last night." She said.

" Mia, Jonny you guys go. I will just come." I said and left with Kyle. We tried a lot but couldn't find out the sketch that I send him last night. It was showing blank. Something was definitely wrong.

" Ok, Kyle, I have the sketch in my cabin. I will send you that again." I said and she nodded. I walked out of her room and walked towards my cabin. I was in front of the lift and at the same time the lift door opened then someone came out and I was frozen. Yes, my boss was there. He wasn't looking at me but he was talking with someone who was with him in the lift.

" Ok, just check it and let me know." He said stepping out of the lift and was about to bump into me. He immediately took a step back.

" Oh, Diya. I am sorry. I didn't see you coming. Are you ok?" He asked me lightly touching my arm.

" I.. I am fine. Absolutely ok." I said slowly breathing out cause I was holding my breath that long. " Good morning, sir." I said.

" Hmm, Good morning." He said leaving my arm. I was thinking why he was absent these days. I was hell worried. I almost did a stupid thing. Thanks God that I hold myself back. If I didn't then it would be havoc. I shouldn't call my boss like that. I was stupid for thinking like that. May be I was out of my mind. I don't want to be a stupid.

" I sho.. should go." I said and he left a space for me to go.

" Diya." He called my name and I turned. God!! Those eyes!!! No, no, no. Diya concentrate.  concentrate. Don't look at his eyes. They will drown you. I said to myself and it was true. His eyes will drown me soon.

" Yes, sir." I said without looking at him and observed him from the corner of my eyes. He was narrowing his eyes at me. I looked down.

" If you are done with Sergio's project then give those documents to me. I need them." He said and I nodded.

" Yes, sir." I said. " Anything else, sir?" I asked.

" Nothing else for now." He said and left. I sighed deeply. My heart was beating crazily. I was feeling crazy inside me. I don't know what was happening to me. Am I drowning!!!
