It's been two weeks since Shivaay went against his brother and supported me. I don't want to admit it but I felt very relieved that day and I realized that as long as this person is standing with me I will be safe and no one will be able to harm me. I always feel secure with him

He is bossy, cold, strict and domineering. He is like a puzzle which is hard to solve. But still he is a very nice person. He is very different. From people like his cousin and Aryan because he respects women. I stayed in his house with him for so many days but he never tried to take advantage of me. He always gave me my space. Never interfered in my personal matters. He always kept a distance between us which he never dared to cross. In other words, he is totally a gentleman !

I am his Personal assistant. So I need to tag along with him wherever he goes. I trailed behind him and we walked into the meeting room. Everyone stood up to greet him. while he went straight and sat down in his chair. The board of directors already sat with the senior employees of Oberoi Enterprises. It seemed like an important meeting. After some time the meeting started. I didn't have much to do so I picked up my pen to write down the important points.

After five minutes someone walked in the room. The room became silent as the temperature dropped. I raised my head to see everyone staring at the door. When I looked there I saw a Good looking man wearing a blue tuxedo. But he was not up to Mr. Oberoi's standard. I wonder why all men look inferior to Mr. Oberoi in terms of looks, wealth, influence and power. " I Am sorry for appearing late " .. that man apologized.

You are late to the meeting of the project for which you have been trying hard for the last six months to get an appointment in my company Mr. Khurana? Are you really serious about this project ? I doubt it. Mr. Oberoi said with a piercing gaze causing everyone in the room to Shiver. He is such a cold hearted man.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Oberoi. It's my fault but it wasn't intentional. It will never happen again. I'm really serious about this project." Mr. Khurana replied in a polite voice. Which Mr. Oberoi ignored. After that Mr. Khurana sat down And the meeting started once again. I was sitting next to Mr. Oberoi while Mr. Khurana was sitting opposite me.

Soon I felt that someone was constantly staring at me. When I looked up and saw, It was none other than Mr. Khurana. On seeing me, he gave me a friendly smile as if he knew me very well. I ignored him and Once again got busy with my work. After a while the meeting ended.

Mr. Oberoi dismissed everyone and immediately left the meeting room and headed towards his office.

I gathered my files and turned to follow him but Mr. Khurana stopped me. " Hi Annika, Long time no see" He said smiling. How the hell He knows my name. I wondered. " Sorry, Do you know me " ? I asked him

Yes, of course, who doesn't know you ? You are Annika Dobriyal. The Famous Diva of college in terms of looks and intelligence. wherever you go, you make the guys whistle. But you never paid attention to anyone. I was your senior in high school. But it's my misfortune that you never noticed me. My name is Daksha Khurana. People address me as DK but you can call me Daksha. He said with a smile.

When I came to the meeting I was surprised to see you here. Now you are even more beautiful than before. But I wonder what you are doing here? Do you work here?

Yes I do ! I replied and walked out from there without giving him another chance to speak. I directly walked into Mr. Oberoi's office. Here are the files Sir ".. I told him. What took you so long ? He asked, looking at me with serious expression

I stopped to talk to Mr Khurana, " I said as I walked to the lounge. where he was sitting. What ? What did you have to say to him ? He asked, looking at me with arched brows.

You are misunderstanding. He stopped me saying he was my senior in high school. I said in the most sincere way possible. " Stay away from him. That Man is good for nothing " He told me in a domineering way and took the file out of my hands.I am also not going to stick with that Khurana..I thought in my mind.

" Yes Sir " I replied obediently. Not because Mr. Oberoi warned me but Because Mr. Khurana gives me creepy vibes. And I don't feel secure around him. Shivaay's frown disappeared with my answer.

" I see.. I'm going out...Tia Kapoor invited me for lunch So I want you to come along " He said looking at me lazily as I was standing right before him.

Technically, You want to say that Tia Kapoor has invited you on a lunch date and you want to take me there with you ? She asked him unbelievably. " Yes Of Course " He said nonchalantly like it's not a big deal.

" Not Interested " I answered him disdainfully as I recalled Tia Kapoor. The Daughter is one of the most famous and wealthy families in the political world. Who has been chasing Shivaay for many years, the whole world knows it. There is no dearth of Shivaay's admirers in the world and Tia Kapoor is one of them who has expressed her feelings for Shivaay many times on social media. She does not forget to like or comment on any of Shivaay's posts.

Jealous ? He muttered arching his brows and it added fuel to my anger. " Was I Jealous ? " I asked myself

Of course not. It's His life. If he wanted he could go out with all the women of this earth including that Tia Kapoor

I bet they would look good together. " Why should I ? It's your life and you can date as many women as you want..I don't care " I told him.

Till now you are the only woman in this world whom I have let close to me, so is it bothering you about another woman being close to me ? He muttered, looking at me with a soft gaze. " Of course not " I said and turned my face to the other side.

" Come here " the man gestured for me to go to him. I didn't want to but he did it again and this time I got close to him not sure why I was even bothering with him.

" Sit " He gestured for me to sit on his lap. Was he crazy or what ? He had lost all respect for me. If anyone asked I did tell them I preferred the Grumpy man in comparison to this weird man.

" Please sit ...I'm in a bad mood " He added when I was just standing there looking at him as If he was an alien.

" Why Should I ? Did I cause it or your lover Tia ignored you ? " I asked him sarcastically. " Don't act like a jealous freak, Bring yourself here " He muttered looking at me.

Shiv ...How could you ? Are you out of your mind ? I asked angrily. " So the respect isn't there huh ? " He asked arching his brows and I wasn't happy.

" Forget calling you Sir ...this has gotten personal ! On one hand you want to take me with you on your date so that you can show me your and Tia's affection and on the other hand you want me to come sit beside you? You have lost your mind " I said looking at him he seemed to be enjoying seeing me suffer like this. But I wasn't going to give him satisfaction.

.................

Shivaay already knew that this girl would misunderstand everything as usual and He was too lazy to explain anything. That's why he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her towards him without saying anything and Annika had no choice but to comply.

She slowly and comfortably sat on his lap and the man adjusted into a comfortable sitting position and moved his hand to her waist and held her there.

" Come with me " He said and by now he was leaning close to me inhaling my scent. Something I didn't think he would do but the man was brushing his soft lips on my exposed shoulder Since I was not wearing a jacket on the top of the blouse.

" I have something important to do, so I can't come with you " I whispered, doing everything I could do, not to react to his touch even when he was running his hand on my back gently causing me to ache down there. I stayed still and kept my hands to myself.

" My work is more important...And It's not your decision to make ..As my PA you have no choice but to follow me wherever I take you. We'll leave right away. You don't need to do anything, you just stay closer to me by going there. I'll handle the rest " He mumbled softly and played with my hair.

Shivaay was a shameless man, a shameless boss who liked bullying me. And like a fool I fell, even more just like now I wanted to give him a piece of mind but I was getting seduced by him instead.

............................

On the other hand, Tia was eagerly waiting for Shivaay. A date with Shivaay Singh Oberoi was no less than a dream for her. Before today, she had thought about this moment many times but had never imagined it to be true. And today when it was about to be true, she could not believe it.

She still remembers the day when she first saw Shivaay at a party. He came there with his father. And at the same time she returned to London after completing her studies from Italy. She did not want to go to that party but when her father asked her to go there, she could not refuse. The whole party seemed boring to him until she saw Shivaay Singh Oberoi there. When she saw him for the first time, she forgot to blink because she had never seen a more charming man than him in the whole world.

At that point she knew that this was the man she was always looking for. When she started knowing about Shivaay, she became more and more impressed by his success and fame. And she didn't even know when she fell in love with him.

She wanted to marry him But when She learns that his marriage has already been fixed with Elizabeth by their family. She felt heartbroken.

That's the reason she never got any chance to get close with him. But now when Elizabeth was not in the picture and Shivaay was still single, she didn't want to lose this golden opportunity.

Shivaay's father has no problem with Tia and her family. So her path is clear. On Tia's insistence her father talked about their alliance with Shivaay's father. Shivaay's father has no problem with Tia as she was a good girl, So he agreed and said to him " If Shivaay has no issue with this alliance then I am saying for this relationship from my side

So their parents arranged a date for her with him. And finally she will be able to meet Shivaay after such a long time. Today she was so happy that she reached the restaurant an hour earlier than the scheduled time. And now he was just waiting for Shivaay. She was dying to meet him, talk to him and spend time alone with him.
