Obsessive Love Disorder

chapter 3

I entered in and was awstruck with its luxury.The entire room screamed richness intimidating me more.I stood in front of the soon to be CEO who's none other than that morning model.He has not even spared me a glance.I stood there like a statue waiting for him to speak.

(1..2...50...100....280...) I'm counting the seconds now..."ohh poor Riya!! You've definitely lost ur mind in fear" mocked my inner self..Hey...you can't blame me.what will I do.To overcome the nervousness I started counting.

299. 300...its 5 minutes now...This is the longest 5 mins of my life..Still he didnt even look at me ..He's so engrossed in his mobile...what should I do now? Should I begin saying my apology or wait for him to start...Dear earth...please swallow me right now!!

10 minutes passed ....20 minutes...half an hour...almost an hour now....I've been standing in the same position for an hour ..My legs started paining now...

"Yessssss!!! winner winner chicken dinner"....

Whaaaat? Was he playing game all this time...professionalism! My foot!

"Why are you late Ms.Riya?" ...Finally he opened his mouth after good long 1 hour..If he's not my CEO and if this job is not important for my family,I would have smacked his face right now..He made me stand one whole hour to play some stupid game..The audacity of this man..

Anger replaced all my nervousness and fear..
"Sorry sir, I use public transport and due to some strike, buses have not arrived in their usual scheduled time.."

"No response "

"Sorry sir,I won't repeat it again"

"Better don't ms.Riya .otherwise you'll find yourself searching for a new job.U can leave now". Came his authoritative voice.

God!!! I'm not fired ! Thank youu!!
As soon as I heard the 'leave' word, I sprinted out of his office...

I went straight to the elevator..only now I can breathe normally...phew !!!
I did a small happy mental dance on the fact of me not getting fired..

I went straight to the manager to inform and thank him.
"I knocked on the manager's door and waited out "

"Come in . ohh Riya..what happened there ? Its been one hour u left. I'm worried for you .what did he say?"

He warned me to not repeat it again.

"Thank god..Eat ur breakfast and then move to work Riya"

"Sure sir.thank you"

He's usually strict yet a good man from heart...and he proved it today by helping me in my tough situation..

I ate my breakfast in canteen real quick and got back to my work.

Office is full of gossips today.The hot topic of the town is all about the new hot CEO AKshay.

"He's sooo haawtt"
"I heard that he's a girl's heart breaker"
"He's a play boy dude..He uses girls for time pass"
"No doubt .Girls will fall for his one look.even I'll do anything to get him."

I'm now hearing the gosipping section of two girls ..Really? Why this much fuss about it? Yeah,he's handsome and all..but ...whatever ! I'll do my work now...

My neighbour colleague and a sweet lady, suja greeted me..,"hey Riya,you are late today...so unusual of you".

I narrated the whole incident to her leaving the part in which I met him morning before office ..She laughed for good 2 minutes when I said what he did the entire hour..

"He never visits office Riya..His last visit was before 2 years..As his father was out of station,he attended that important meeting ..Thats it.But suddenly today he announced that he'll take in charge of this company..As far as I heard,he don't take responsibilities ...partying, girls ,friends is all his life..Strange !!
