Manan - Promise Of A Forever

|| CHAPTER - 24 ||

next day....

at 6 am.....

Akash was, as usual, sitting on his chair happily having his breakfast glancing at a very nervous Manik peeking glances at Nandini who was completely immersed in her files....manik opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it and continued eating.....

after finishing his breakfast akash quickly left to his room as he knew Nandini wouldn't open her mouth in his presence......whatever she planned for manik will be kept hidden.....she wouldnt want him to put his nose in her business or call it.... torture.......so the only thing he could do was unhappily go to his room.......

after entering his room he closed the door and sneakily took a small earpiece from his pocket..........after connecting it to his ear he could now hear the two distinct voices that he so badly wanted to hear.......

hehe....what....just because he left from there doesn't mean he is not a curious man....he naturally wanted to know what punishment his princess will give to that brat....and hence he righteously gave them their space only to eavesdrop from the next room........

dining room....

after her mamu left nandini kept the files aside and looked at manik......seeing her gaze manik gulped the last bite of his sandwich and gave her a nervous smile.....

" tch....you still eat like a pig......" nandini sneered....

manik let out an awkward cough at her unfiltered words....his first-ever comment from her after five years.....was being called a pig....god knows what's in store for him in the future.......

" anyways since you are here lets get down to business shall we....." nandini spoke as her eyes glistened with a hint of danger........

manik nodded.....but before nandini could continue zach's voice came from a distance....manik frowned and turned around to see a handsome young man probably in his late twenties coming towards them more specifically nandini......

zach quietly came and stood by nandini's side after taking a glance at manik.....hmm.....this was boss's important person...

nandini still looked at manik who was having a hard time trying to stop himself from frowning....still the same jealous monster I see.....nandini thought before she commanded Zach to speak.......

" The work you have ordered is done mam....." he spoke in his usual polite tone...

manik on hearing the word ' mam ' for nandini from him sighed in relief....he thanked aiyappa in his mind....

" hmm...good....you can leave now....." she curtly ordered.....

listening to the word good Zach had disbelief written all over his face....getting a compliment from his boss was once in a blue moon kind of thing....which happens only when someone has done a 99% risky plan with zero damage to the squad...but here not only did he get to hear it but it also happened for such a trivial matter......

 when he returns to the squad he would surely boast about this to all his mates.......he shot s gleeful look to manik...this man surely is very important to boss.....he made a mental to treat him with respect in future.......

" thank you mam...." Zach bowed to nandini and turned to leave after giving a nod to manik...

while manik looked at him with confusion....earlier when he ( Zach )  looked at him with that smile he somehow felt goosebumps....and then he saw him bowing to nandini which let him utterly confused......is this some kind of assistant thingy of Australian people or what......because back in India he never saw such thing happen...giving a 90 degree bow to your boss it kinda felt strange.....
