"Sir here's the file you've asked. DK company delegates are waiting for you in the conference room ASR." Khushi, his secretary informed about the recent updates, handing him a file.

ASR ordered not lifting his head from his laptop, "Ok. Send Rita to the conference room and hand over the project file to her.”

“But sir… Rita is not the head of this project.” Khushi uttered in total confusion. In fact, it was she, who’s looking after this project additional to her secretarial duties hoping to gain more knowledge and probably an appraisal. Oblivious of her compatibility and understanding level with her boss with whom she could fathom his next set of actions and intentions even before he voices out, she failed to grasp the reason behind his denial this time.

He closed the laptop with a thud, and looked straight into her eyes, "Who's the boss here Miss Gupta?"

"Yo...u."

"Good then, so already you know who has the authority to order and question whom?" Khushi stood tongue-tied and lowered head in disappointment. She thought she can convince him using his soft corner for her but he seems to be in denial today, "Sorry sir. I'll send her."

With a fallen face, she went to Rita cubicle and passed the project files as her boss ordered.

"I am not dreaming right?" Rita squealed not believing her luck. Soon her excitement died on her throat as the realisation struck her. It's not easy to carry on and present someone project like hers. And she very well knows, this type of last-minute adjustments are so common in this corporate. If one wants to climb up and reach the sky, one need not shed blood or sweat but to dive across this vast area with an acute brain.

Khushi who has seen Rita's pale face came forward without any jealousy, "Rita, there's nothing to worry. You already know the content and don't forget we all worked as a team. Take a deep breath and carry on with the project. Success is yours."

Rita somewhat convinced and hurried towards the conference room, going through the content on the way. Khushi pouted her lips sadly and looked down at her decked up form. She took an extra few minutes today to get ready with her formal white shirt and black trousers and black pumps which she usually avoids. All went vain. Cursing her boss, she settled herself in her cabin. When her fingers are ready to give a speed dial to her mom, she came in vision with that thing. Gasping she took hold of it & scolded herself for daydreaming about that chocolate brown eyes losing concentration on important things. She immediately ran towards the conference room, crossing her boss cabin who find that particular moment to come out of his cabin to head out to the conference room.

"What the hell?" He uttered in confusion seeing his secretary running crazily across the corridor.

Forcing his long legs forward to walk speedily, he's late on catching her. She has already entered the conference room and handed a pen drive to Rita.

A sudden wave of detest rushed through his veins as he saw the two things which he abhors at the very first sight. One is the hug shared between friends and another is Daksh.

"Oh god thank you so much, Khushi. For a moment I was blank when I didn't find the pen drive." Rita exclaimed and shared a friendly hug with Khushi who accepts her warmth and patted her back gently.

“Hey Khush. How’re you?”

Khushi turned back with a smile hearing a known voice. She gives her flown fledged smile at the person and stretched her hand out formally, “I’m great Daksh.”
