Teri hi ho sab ghuftgoo...
Baatein Teri

Dhruv's POV
I flinched slightly when the phone rang. And as I looked at the caller ID my heartbeats raced like roller coaster. With shivering hands I tried to answer the call but my sweating palms couldn't helped much.
I took a deep breath and wiped my hands. Answering the call I attached the phone to my ear.
" H-hello ? " I tried my best not to shutter.
" Cancel the meeting with Oberoi corporations. " I heard her melodies yet bold voice. But soon frowned as i comprehend her words.
" But ma'am the deal is already signed what about that ? " I asked.
" We have to attend a funeral and I want you in my cabin in next 15 minutes. "
And before I could say anything further she hung up. Sighing, I dialed a number.
" Yes Mr. Saxena ? " Mr. Verma said as soon he answered the call.
" Do you know why the meeting with Oberoi corporations is cancelled ? They were about to sign the contract. " I said.
" Um...their chairman passed away this morning and they are asking to postpone the meeting for some days. " He said.
" Oh okay. " I replied getting out from the lift. He also hung up after humming at my words.
A funeral ?
I was paired in a pitch black shirt and dark grey pants which looked quite decent for a funeral. Shrugging all the thoughts I walked towards the road.
Taking a cab I asked the driver to drop me at Malhotra & group of companies.
*************
Getting out from the cab I paid the driver. I roamed my eyes around and spotted her coming outside from the buildings and I noticed a woman walking beside her while saying something. Mr. Verma was walking behind them with slow steps.
I looked at her. She was paired sassily in a black sleeveless jumpsuit and open straight hairs, slightly bouncing with the moment of her steps.

She walked near me and I wished her good morning to which she did a curt nod. Another 5 minutes passed in silence and we all kept standing there.
" Where the heck is the driver ? " I heard her muttering while looking at her wrist watch.
" Um...let me call him. " Mr. Verma said and excused himself. After a minute he came and said.
" He can't come his wife met with an accident and currently he is in the hospital. "
" Fvcking fantastic " I heard her muttering while rubbing her forehead.
" It's okay I can drive. " Mr. Verma said but the woman who was standing beside her cut him off.
" No you're injured !! " I and Aakriti both looked at his hands which was covered with bandaid. I looked up at him and noticed his ears and neck getting red.
" Let it be. I'll drive." I said and he nodded at me.
************
We all were seated in aakriti's car.
Her car smells like her. I wish I could be here forever.
I was seated on the driver's seat and Mr. Verma was sitting beside me on the passenger seat. While Aakriti and probably her friend were sitting on the back seat.
Mr. Verma turned the GPS on and I started the car drove off towards the destination.
My eyes kept glancing at her from the rear view mirror and sometimes I found her looking outside the window with a blank face and sometimes talking with her friend.
One more thing I noticed that her friend was looking at Mr. Verma with a slight smirk and he was all red probably with her gaze. But I was too engrossed in stealing glances of her, that I didn't brothered to notice anything else.
Expect the road and the GPS.
I pulled the brakes and took out the key.
Coming outside I don't know what got into me that I immediately walked to the side she was sitting and opened the door for her before she could.
She looked at me and came out without saying anything. I walked behind her as her friend was walking beside her.
So clingy 😒
My mind judged her friend unknowingly.
" That bastard finally died. " Aakriti said smirking slightly. A little dimple formed on her left cheek while doing that.
" We are free from that forced contract now. " Mr. Verma agreed with her.
" I would have found a way anyhow. " She said further. We kept walking until reached at the mansion of the chairman of Oberoi corporations.
The guards opened the door for us and we walked inside.
" I'll go and meet their CEO. " Mr. Verma said to aakriti.
" Make sure tell him about us backing off from the deal. " She replied blankly.
" Um...I don't think we should talk about that now. He must be mourning on his grandfather's death. " Mr. Verma said with a little hesitation.
" So what ? We didn't came here to provide him sympathy. " She replied and continued. " Do what I said. "
Mr. Verma left after nodding at her. I looked at her friend who said.
" I'll go and check the buffet, I'm damn hungry. "She also left making two of us alone.
" What's my schedule after this ? " She said broking the silence. I took out my foldable tab from pocket and said.
" After leaving from here first you have to attend a conference meeting with the clothing department and then your lunch is scheduled with CEO of Kapoor industries. And lastly a visit to the construction site. " I said clearly. She did a curt nod and I kept the tab back.
I looked at her and my eyes slightly widened when I saw her clutching her head as it was hurting.
" Ma'am are you okay ? " I asked trying my best not to sound worried. She didn't respond her hands grip on her forehead gets firmed as she hiss slightly.
" I'll get a chair for you " I said and grabbed the nearest chair for her. She sat down and hissed a little still holding her head. This action of hers made my heart clenched. It seemed like she was in a lot of pain.
I took out the bottle of water and forwarded it to her after opening the cap. She first looked at me then the bottle.
" Please have it. " I pleaded knowing she's dealing with her ego internally. She took the bottle and bringing it closer to her lips she took a sip. It took a minute to her in calming down herself. She gave the bottle back which was now stained with her cheery nude lipstick. I smiled internally and made a mental note to preserve this marked bottle.
" Your head is still aching ? " I asked when I saw her rubbing her hand over her forehead. She didn't said anything.
" D-Do you need pain killers ? " I asked and she looked up. Her eyes were void of any emotion.
" Mind your business. " She said blankly and I nodded pushing away the sting pain that erupted in my heart.
I saw Mr. Verma coming back followed by a man. As they both came near us I noticed the man smirking. Aakriti looked up at him boringly crossing her legs.
" Bark " she said and I don't know why I was feeling a sudden urgent to smile.
Why I'm getting deja vu ?
Mr. Verma came and stood beside me.
" I heard you are backing off from the deal now. You know you can't...you had already signed the contract. " He said and her next words wiped his smirk.
" I signed the contract with the CHAIRMAN of oberoi corporations not the CEO " her words made him shock. It was clearly written on his face.
" W-what are you saying ? I didn't u-understand " he said shuttering badly.
I then heard her chuckled and saw her standing up. And her next words left me shocked along with Mr. Verma and that man.
" I understand...it must be shocking for you. You killed your grandfather just to claim the biggest deal of his life and still didn't get it. You must have worked smartly to show it his natural death but tsk tsk tsk I know everything. " She ended her words smirking dangerously.
" With proof " she whispered innocently.
" And it won't take me a minute to throw to behind the bars so think a million times before doing any spam against my company. " She uttered those words so calmly yet dangerously. I could feel the goosebumps by hearing her tone.
She left him in probably the biggest shock of his life and walked passed by him sassily.
I also chose to walk behind her followed by Mr. Verma leaving that man speechless.
Author's POV
Dhruv glanced at aakriti from the rare view mirror who was scrolling her social media. Feeling the gaze she looked up and dhruv immediately looked ahead focusing on the road. Shrugging off she again engrossed herself in her phone.
And here dhruv's ears and neck went red. He was about to get caught.
Mishti's gaze was fixed on shreyansh who was looking ahead with his usual blank yet serious face. She smirked at the ignoring game he was playing since the morning incident.
The car came to a hault and they all get off, and walked inside the office building.
Shreyansh informed aakriti before heading towards his cabin and Mishti chose to follow him without anyone's notice.
Aakriti walked on the way to the conference room followed by dhruv.
As she entered all the employees and staffs stood up to wish her. Nodding at all of them she made herself seated on the boss chair with dhruv beside her at a decent distance.
" Please have a seat everyone " Dhruv said on her behalf. As everyone settled aakriti spoke.
" Before starting discussion on anything else firstly I want to know the reason why the heck, stocks of the clothing section is going downwards " the employees and staffs gulped at her tone. It was calm yet dangerous and anyone could sense she was very mad. For a minute, pin drop silence spread among them until she spoke again.
" When I'm asking you something I need an answer " her voice came a little louder than before. Silence replied her again. Anger rushed in her body and she banged her fist on the table making everyone flinch at the sudden noise.
" ANSWER ME DAMN IT " She yelled loudly. Dhruv looked at her, silently getting afraid of her short temperedness and anger issues.
The head of all stood up with shivering legs and said.
" M-ma'am ac-actually the customers are not liking the graphic designs " aakriti looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, her anger increasing internally.
" And why so ? Till last month we got out of stock because people can't stop buying it and now you're saying they aren't liking it ? " She said and the head of all stood silent not knowing what to respond.
" If you all can't increase the sales then don't worry I'll hire a better designing team. " She said making all of them shock.
" You all are fired. Get out from my sight. " As the words left her mouth one employee stood up with joined hands.
" Ma'am please do not do this to us. Our carrier will be destroyed "
She requested knowing that if they all get fired from here then no company will give them job. Getting fired from one of the best companies in the country would leave a bad impact on their capabilities.
" Should I keep you all so that you all can destroy the clothing department's reputation in the market ? No way in hell this is going to happen. "
Aakriti said and the employee bursts into cries followed by few more. She rolled her eyes at them.
" Ma'am I th-think you should give them I chance. " Dhruv spoke, his heart beating loudly.
" Did I ask for your opinion ? " She replied and suddenly the environment became serious. Dhruv felt bad at her tone. He was just suggesting.
" As your PA it's my responsibility to be your right hand and it will harm your image as a leader and boss if you fire them without giving a fair chance to prove themselves. " He managed to say confidently.
The employees looked at him as they saw God in front of them.
Aakriti thought for a second. After taking a calculative pause she said.
" But remember this will be the first and last chance you people are getting to prove your capabilities and skills. " She said and next dhruv spoke.
" You should be grateful to our CEO as she granted you this chance and it be will be fruitful only if you work on advertisement as equal to creating designs. " He said making the environment light.
They all sighed in relief while aakriti kept a blank expression on her face.
" Thank you Ma'am thank you assistant Dhruv. " They all thanked her and she nodded at few.
After they all left she stood up and walked towards dhruv. He looked at her in shock who was taking slow steps towards him. His breath got struck in his throat when she stopped one step away from him. Her face was void of any emotion.
They never got this much close before, that's the reason his heart was beating loudly. Feeling her gaze on himself he looked down not able to maintain eye contact with her killer orbs.
Keeping his eyes stuck on her black pump shiny heels not knowing that her next words will shake him in fear.
" Dare to interfere in my decisions next time and I'll make you regret at your decision of being my PA. " He kept looking down until she left the conference hall. He looked at her fading figure.
A happy chuckle escape his mouth. He didn't felt anything when she said that line because his ears were fixed those last line.
Her PA.
He giggled cutely and stood up bumping his fist in air, squealing in happiness.
And as he came back into the real world he looked at the door and got one of the biggest mini heart attacks of his life.
NOOOOOO !! He screamed in his mind.
The love of his life was standing there, staring at him hard. Ignoring it she walked in his direction until she was again only a step away from him and his eyes got widened when he saw her leaning.
He immediately took few steps back and soon regreted when he saw her grabbing her phone from the table.
" Behave " Muttering this in a low voice while glaring at him she actually left from there.
He forced close his eyes in embarrassment.
The day can't get worse !!
