Thank you for the multiple votes and comments. Happy Independence day to all my to all my readers. Thank you for those who have added my story to their reading list and the one who followed me. 

  "Come in!!" I heard the sharp voice of my new boss when I knocked his door. "Sir, Mr. Vedant will not be coming as he is in my house." I said setting my bag on the sofa. "What? But how?" Mr. Malhotra asked looking away from his laptop. "He came at 5 in the morning by climbing the back wall of my house. I feared that the house owner of the back of my house, may scold him, but they are at vacation for a month, so he thought of spending his day with Aliya today." I said by removing the heels and wore my bucks bunny shoes.

 "What are you doing?" Mr. Malhotra asked by seeing my act. "Just ignore Mr. Malhotra, I hate heels and Navya would not allow me to office without this, so I am getting comfortable. Can you please explain my work?" I asked, but was interrupted by a knock. A lawyer came to the cabin who was around his late forties. "Nice to see you again Mr. Malhotra. I wanted to talk with you personally." he said and eyed me. This was my cue to go out and explore. "I think I will go outside" I said, but was stopped by Mr. Malhotra.

  "I know it's contract, she is one of our friend and she can be here." to which the lawyer nodded and handed him certain files. "Mr. Malhotra as you know, the contract, but my private investigator brought the hidden skeletal of Mr. Saxena. I was equally shocked as you, when I saw this. Mr. Saxena has another family other than his present family. I got to know that he and his lover was in live in relationship at that time. The lover had eloped from her home to settle with him." The lawyer said and Mr. Malhotra was observing the file very keenly.  

  "What's the use of it? This information can hurt Saxena family, other than that what more it can do?" Mr. Malhotra asked keeping the file on the table. "It is useful information, if the lover has a daughter. She may be illegitimate, but she is the daughter of Mr. Saxena and granddaughter of late Mr. Saxena too. You have to marry her and most of your problem is solved." Mr. Malhotra started thinking "Miss. Murthy? Please bring the red file which is kept at the top shelf of A101." he said and I did not wait a second before heading to the room. 

  My shoes was making poi poi sound with each step and everyone were watching me like I committed the murder though out the corridor. Just look away you people!, don't you know staring is bad? I wanted to yell but, what can I do? Finally asking the people who gave me 'I-like -your-style' look about the room, I got all the red files. I handed it to Mr. Malhotra who saw my bucks bunny shoes and shook his head. Such a meanie miney. "Miss. Murthy, your work will be explained by Miss. Khadar please meet her. She is in the next cabin."

 I did as I was told. Miss. Khadar was in her early forties and she greeted me with smile and explained my work is really complicated.

1. I have to bring coffee for boss sharp seven in the morning and whenever he asks.

2. I have to note the important points in meeting, arrange meeting room, look after delegates .

3. I have to do all the things boss says and many other things. 

 I entered Mr. Malhotra's cabin to ask him what should I do? "Miss. Murthy please pack your bags we are going for a lunch meeting. From tomorrow you will get your schedule and you can remind me. " he said picking his coat and I took my hand bag. "Sir, it's just 10 why are we heading there so early? and where is the lunch meeting?" I asked all my queries at once. He gave me the location and also the snacks we had to buy to impress the client. 

 When I reached the restaurant only one thing came out of my mouth. "Wow!" I said and observed the interiors of it. It was stunning and everything in the restaurant shouted expensive. We were guided to a private lounge where we met a woman which screamed power and some from her company who wore ID cards. "Good afternoon Mrs. Kapoor and these are for you." Mr. Malhotra handed the snacks and flowers to the woman. 

 Mrs. Kapoor took it without any smile just like Mr. Malhotra when he is in office, but at least he smiled at her, but she is so grateful that she didn't even say thank you and observed me from head to toe. "Who is this?" she asked as if I have come to spy on them. "She is my new PA, Nandini. Murthy. Miss. Murthy meet Mrs. Kapoor, the MD of Fashionista." Mr. Malhotra introduced me. "Nice to meet you." I forwarded my hand to shake hers with a smile. "Where is your ID card?" Is she PE teacher of any school? I will give her the peace of mind. Mr. Malhotra was going to answer, but I answered instead of him.

 "Fell in to the commode while peeing." I said with a sweet smile taking back my hand. The workers of her covered the laugh with coughs and Mr. Malhotra showed his angry eyes. What? She was being mean. "Such a clumsy person, how can you appoint her as a PA? I could have sent my daughter to you as the perfect PA!!" she said eyeing me with disgust. "I think your daughter is a robot Mrs. Kapoor, as there is nothing called perfect in this world." I said with a fake smile and by now I was bearing three things,

1. The murderous glares of Mr. Malhotra and Mrs. Kapoor.

2. The covered giggles of workers with coughs.

3. My light growls of stomach.
