My alarm woke me up from my deep slumber, I opened the curtains, and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I changed into black t-shirt and black shorts and headed towards the gym

I did some pull ups, bench press, deadlift, barbell squats. Others are too lazy to wake up early morning and workout

I worked out for 1 hour and went back to my room to get ready for office. I changed into black shirt, black blazer and black slacks. I kept the first two buttons open of my shirt, I don't like wearing ties,I occasionally wear them for parties though

I lightly brushed my hair with brush, wore my oxfords and sprayed some perfume and went down for breakfast.

Everyone was already gathered and like always Aarav Aalia Aaryan and Nidhi were fighting over food. I sighed and sat on my seat and wished everyone a good morning and served myself some oats and juice.

Today Aarhan was not coming with me since he had a meeting so I was going alone, I sat in the driver's seat and sped off to office . I reached within 20 minutes with the speed I was driving at

I parked my car in my private lot and went towards my elevator, I have no interest in seeing bunch of baboons early in the morning

I stepped out of the elevator to see Ronit standing outside my cabin with my schedule, I entered my cabin and he followed closely

"Good morning sir, you have meeting with all the heads of the department in 30 minutes later you have to sign some document then you're free till lunch and at 4:00pm the team of architects will come to discuss about the hotel and you will be free for the day" Ronit said while reading out my schedule

Ronit has been my P.A for 3 years now and he knows how I want certain things to be done and that is why he still has his job

I am waiting for my 4:00 o'clock meeting, I can't wait to see her again, it's been three days since I saw her and I can't stop thinking about her, I remember the first time I saw her, she was waiting outside the conference room with her other team members, she was looking so pretty that I couldn't take my eyes off her

I know I was an asshole but I couldn't help it, speaking to someone who is not my family or ordering others is the only form of communication I know

I wanted to talk more to her rather than just two words, the way her voice flowed through, how she tried to keep her irritation in check, how she took the lead, how she kept the eye contact everything was fascinating, like a kid saw a carnival for the first time

Today was my one chance I could make a good impression on her. I am not a fool I know I have a slight crush on her, she just attracted me a lot and I want to know her more than just the 'architect who is designing our hotel'

The only time I was in a relationship was when I was in college it wasn't too deep we found each other attractive and that's it, later we found out we were not compatible so we mutually broke up that was all, I wasn't in love with her

I removed my blazer and started with my work knowing if I keep thinking about her I'll go insane, I started with signing some of the documents that needed my attention, 30 minutes later Ronit informed me about the meeting.

I wore my blazer and walked to the conference room with Ronit behind me with his iPad, as soon as I entered everyone stopped talking, I like the fear, I went and sat on the head chair without acknowledging anyone

Everyone started showing their progress report one by one, while I was just looking at the screen blankly

"Where is the report of Raichands?" I asked the sales department head.

I can already see he is sweating. Good

"S-irr th-e pro-ble-mm is actu-all-y" He couldn't complete his sentence

"Will you stop stuttering like a fool and answer?" I said calmly

Everyone held their breath, because they are aware it's the calm before the storm and the sales manager should've been aware about it.

"The project was completed last month and you're still not responsible enough to make the reports on time. Who gave you the position when you can't do a simple task? You were well aware that this meeting is going to take place three days prior yet you were busy doing nothing and this is not the first time where you have not completed your work. If you can't do your job then you should leave " I said calmly while looking into his eyes

As soon as I finished his eyes became wide and started stuttering

"Don't waste my time pack and leave" I yelled at him, my patience was running thin

I would have even considered not firing him if he was not an cheating asshole who abuses his wife, since he can't take care of his family he shouldn't even have a job

Thankfully rest of the meeting went well without anyone getting on my nerves

I went back to my cabin and removed my blazer and kept it on the back of my chair and started going through some documents

After doing some work I was hungry, I called home and informed maa to not send lunch I thought of going to some restaurant instead of eating inside the cabin

I messaged Aarhan to meet me in the parking lot because I don't think he ate anything after the meeting, he came after few minutes and sat inside the passenger seat and I drove to a nearby restaurant

We made some small talk on our way, as we reached I parked my car and got down, thankfully the restaurant wasn't crowded so we got a nice seat

I ordered some pasta while Aarhan got himself some garlic bread

"So how was the meeting?" I asked while taking a bite of my pasta

"It went good they agreed to our terms we can have a final meeting soon to discuss some last minute details" He replied

"That's good, so how have you been?" I asked since we don't get much time to talk about our personal lives

"I'm good a little stressed, a good trip will be good after the project" He said while chewing on his bread

I hummed agreeing with him, these past few months have been really hectic I too need a vacation alone with everything happening at the same time

We talked some more and left for office, it was three o'clock when we reached office that means I have an hour till my next meeting

Which means I will see her again and hopefully talk more
