Violent love | Adiya

01

Blinking softly Zoya stares ahead of her, her fingers tapping the wooden desk as she waits for her hell to begin. Looking at the clock she sighs and picks up the pen she scribbles, her lower lip tucked under her teeth as she reads through the finalized excel sheet before signing it off. She carefully places the papers in the file, before grabbing the phone. Pressing four extension digits she starts the call "Hello, Nikhil please come in for a sec"

Thanking him she keeps the receiver down letting out deep breathe, he hasn't come yet,she thinks. He had an important breakfast meeting at a hotel and as his personal assistant she should have been there. But she sent her assistant with him

She quickly sends a text checking in on the meeting praying that everything goes right as he has quite a temper. And she knows he must be raging right now. But in the morning she had decided she wouldn't accompany him after everything happened last night.

She waits impatiently for a reply from her assistant and is about to call when her phone pings. Quickly opening up the message she grips her arm chair as her eyes move over the one line reply.

"Deal is almost done but Sir is pissed"

She sends an okay placing the phone down. He is pissed and she knows very well the reason. It's not like he needs a reason to be angry, though she sighs. From the day she meet him till now,nothing has changed, he is still the angry devil who thrashes everything that pricks him. Her heart tightens as the thought of him coming into the office comes back to her mind. She knows he is going to raise a hell once he will see her.

Why? Because she broke a rule, but then again he can't tolerate her anyway so she did him a favour,she debates knowing very well all her words and thoughts are futile infront of his warth.

Her chain of worries is broken with a knock on her translucent glass door and a head poking in. It's Nikhil with his ever nondiminishing grin.

"You asked for me Zoya Mam"

"Yes come in. Give this file to Mr. Hooda when he comes" she smiles letting him in and hands him the files.

"But Mam, I - he asked you -"he stutters, wary of her orders but takes the file nonetheless.

"I know. I am busy right now, give it to him" she lies through her teeth as she wants to avoid him as much as she can, which is a lot less.

"He will be angry mam. He won't take this from me" he says, not really wanting to be in the firing line of Aditya Hooda.

"Nikhil, this file is important for him to go through before afternoon's meeting with Mehra's." she states, her tone calm yet filled with authority making him internally sigh.

"Mam -" he sya only for her to interrupt as she smiles, she sympathizes with all her colleagues knowing Aditya she knows Nikhil will get most probably fired for doing her job but she is helpless right now really doesn't want the pain he will give her, still recovering from last night.

"Just place it on his desk. He won't know."

"Sure Mam" he smiles and begins to move towards the door, only to halt as he turns around confused as every other person in the office.

"Mam, you don't have to work for him now, you know. You might as well be his partner, work with him" because that's was she should be, technically, as per the legal documents she should be. But she is not and she doesn't want to be either.

"I am working with him"she calmly states.

"But why do you? I am sorry if it's personal but, but Aditya Sir is not an easy.....a difficult man to work with and he... He doesn't treat you well..."he says, rather tries not to offend her and to her surprise she isn't, she is only slightly miffed at his statement about Aditya.
