Khushi came out of Arnav's cabin, clutching her heart which was beating at a jet speed.

Without a second of delay she descended the stairs with extra springs in her feet, straightaway went to the canteen store room at the same speed & bolted the door from inside.

She stood there with her back plastered to the door, her hand still around her heart, breathing uneven due to the run may be, she thought so but unknown to herself a shy smile was playing on her lips.

She closed her eyes tight recalling whatever happened a while before.

She was busy helping the head chef Manjuji in making a list of monthly groceries & staples to be ordered & which would be supplied the next day, when Amanji had come & had summoned her to meet their boss Mr. ASR.

She had got scared, not willing to go.

May be he was not okay with her working in his company canteen without getting officially appointed & he wanted to chastise her for the same.

She had heard from her mamaji & the canteen staff about his firm work ethics, strong discipline & keenness for appropriate decorum. He is a good hearted boss but when it comes to business he is a sucker of perfection & dedication.

May be he was angry on her for breaking all the rules & entering his territory without his permission.

It won't be actually wrong on his part if he berates her for the same because she had taken the advantage of being the niece of Mr. ASR's one of the trustworthy staff who happens to be her mamaji.

But she had no intentions to get rooted here permanently. Just for a few days till she gets something to do of her interest & liking.

Although this work was the best of her likings as cooking is not only her hobby but her passion still she had no intensions to make this place as her permanent work place without its owner's permission.

But guess she was too liberal in her thoughts & now she was going to hear good from the owner himself even before she willingly kisses goodbye to this place just like she had entered here willingly for some days though.

She was ready to hear & endure anything for her mistake until it doesn't reach or harms her mamaji who had just wished for a good change for his niece & got her here on his own risk.

Hope his job doesn't get affected for his love, care & concern towards his niece.

With all the conflicting thoughts laced with fear she had climbed the stairs to the lion's den, had knocked softly on his door with shivering hands & had waited for his permission to enter with bated breath & downcasted eyes.

After some two minutes of wait she had heard a soft yet commanding tone asking her to enter.

She had then slowly opened the door & had entered with slow, unsure steps.

Closing the door behind she had waited looking down at the floor, near the door fidgeting with her hands for a while waiting for Mr. ASR to say something or rather scold her.

When he hadn't initiated a word for long her fear had increased.

Gulping hard she had slowly raised her downcasted lashes a bit & had noticed him examining her thoroughly from head to toe, pausing at certain points as if making notes of her fashion sense which might had been a disaster in his eyes, being the king of fashion world.
