Are We Destined To Be?

Chapter-18 Wait for me, please?

Manik twisted her hands and said Stop yelling and calm down.

Nandini jerked off his hand and exclaimed I'd rather leave. Rohit who was watching this said-

Trust me Nandini this will be professional and you are extremely talented and the hiring team is immensely impressed by you. Please don't say no. Let this be super professional.

Nandini realised that apart from their relationship the position that she was going to be offered would spike her career graph.

Okay! When's the briefing going to take place sighed Nandini.

I'll call the HR team here. The briefing will take place right now in my cabin said Manik

Nandini rolled her eyes at him and said "Whatever!"

Rohit left the two of them alone. Nandini sat on the sofa and started looking at the floor with her fingers fidgeting.

You didn't have breakfast? said Manik scoldingly.

Nandini looked at him peculiarly and thought How come he gets to know every little thing!

Getting no response from her he said- I knew you wouldn't listen me. Remember how you used to motivate me to eat my meals on time when I just didn't feel like eating. You my love have to take care of yourself.

Nandini who was still looking at the floor smiled nostalgically when she remembered when Manik used to come to her clinic complaining that he doesn't feel like eating and how she used to motivate him.

A tear escaped her eyes and she whispered Those lovely days!

Manik quickly wiped a tear that was forming in his eyes. The hate overpowered the love that was dying to burst out any moment now.

Days and times have changed Nandini said Manik turning away.

Nandini felt weak at this moment and she burst out in a fit of tears.

Days and times are stilll the same it's you, who has changed she said with tears streaming down her chubby cheeks.

Manik wiped her tears and didn't say a word, not because he didn't want to but because he didn't have an answer.

An answer that Nandini was searching for in his deep eyes from days.

Have your lunch he said getting engrossed in his work.

Nandini looked away and didn't bother to answer him.

The HR team arrived and Nandini lead the team like a boss. When it comes to her profession she doesn't let her emotions come in between. Her awful breakup didn't affect her work and that's one of the many things Manik loved about her.

The staff gelled up with Nandini pretty well. Even though she was their boss she didn't make her juniors feel intimidated at all.

Manik saw Nandini from his glass door sipping coffee with her juniors. He smiled seeing her happy. Despite the fact he's being the reason for her sorrow these days.

Nandini did all her work efficiently throughout the day and now she had to submit a file to her boss, Manik!

She knocked on the door and said
May I come in sir?

Manik was shocked to see her calling him sir! He didn't like it at all. Love sounds so much better he thought!

Yes please said Manik.

Nandini- This is the file it has everything that needs to be in the record. May I leave please?

Manik wasn't comfortable with her being so formal towards him.

Manik- Please stop it! You can call me Manik

As Nandini was about to leave Manik held her by her shoulders. He took out a hair tie from his pocket and tied her hair into a bun.

Manik- It's so hot why don't you tie them!

He still has my hair ties thought Nandini!

Nandini continued to leave when Manik said I'm about to finish my work! Wait for me, please?

Nandini's mind didn't want to give in but her stupid heart betrays her every single time.

Okay she said.
