14 Chapter 14

Sia's POV

I was sitting in the office space provided to me and Priya. I was missing her as she went to honeymoon last night and she looked so happy.

She had every reason to be happy as she got to marry her long time crush. Earlier I was really worried about her but now I am satisfied that she would be happy.

Rahul ji loves her a lot and would do anything to keep her happy. Well she is lucky she found true love. But every one is not that lucky.

I was not... I had a crush on someone too. But I guess, we were not meant to be together..

Anyways, there is no point in thinking about old wounds. So I took a deep breath and got down to work. I went to Rohit... I mean... Mr. Kapoor's Cabin to ask him about the day's schedule. I knocked on the door. He was on the phone. He had a lot of work as Rahul ji was not here.

He was looking so good in his crisp white button down shirt and black suit. He was very tall and handsome, with a sharp chiseled jawline. I realised that I was gazing at him, so I averted my eyes away from him.

Why was I even thinking on those lines?? He is my boss... can't think like that... I can't get attracted to him or anyone. I just need to shut him out of my mind. I don't want to feel the pain again, I just don't want to fall for him. I need to maintain distance.

It seemed that he was talking to his dad. They were talking about the designs, colours and samples. Rahul Ji's secretary Julie was sitting there noting everything he was saying. He disconnected the call and asked her to make a detailed list of all the requirements and to send the designer to him.

She smiled very sweetly at him and then looked at me in a weird way and left.

What was her problem??

Julie was working for Rohit since Rahul ji was not here . Rohit's PA Sooraj had to go somewhere for official work.

" So Good morning ... " He smiled at me. My heart beat increased a bit.

Stupid heart... Why are you beating fast?

" Good morning Sir.. what am I supposed to do today? "

" We are going to buy the required raw material and some stuff for more samples. You need to see the requirements according to the designs. You will come with me. "

" Ok sir... " I said. Somehow I was feeling very good that I would get more time in his company. Though, I couldn't understand why I was feeling that...

" Sia, you don't need to be so formal. You can call me Rohit. " he said and my heart started pumping blood even faster.

How sweet of him.

Sweet ??? Inner Sia raised an eyebrow.

Shut up !!! Do your work.

Showing your thoughts to you in mirror is my job, Sia... She winked at me.

But I had to control my heart. I can't get attracted to him with just a few good sentences coming out of him.

He was looking at me as if he was trying to find out what was going in my mind.

" No sir... I prefer to be formal."

Yes... I am on the right track...

You are stupid, Sia ... Inner Sia said.

" But why??? We are friends... Right? " Rohit asked

" No, we are not. You said that we will be employee and employer. I should not expect any favours as I am Priya's friend. And anyways I, myself prefer to remain formal in office. " I said that and felt bad for being rude.

But I will not fall for anyone's charm now...

" Ok... Go get ready... We have to do a lot of work. " He said annoyingly.

" Ok sir.... " I said and I came out and went to my work area.

Was he really annoyed with me??

Yes he was... He was being sweet you stupid.. you are ruining it.

I don't need your suggestion... Go and sleep. I said to her.

I picked up my stuff and went to his cabin again. I turned the knob and was about to push open the door with the side of my waist, as I was holding many things, when it opened all of a sudden and I lost my balance and I was about to fall when two strong arms held me. My stuff flew in the air and landed on us.

It all looked like, as if I was watching a movie in slow motion. I was falling and someone held me, before I could land on the floor. My bag slipped from my arm and fell on the floor while my file and phone flying in the air and falling on us only. My heart stopped for a second, iron bands like things were holding my waist and my head collided with some hard human wall.

I took a few deep breaths and opened my eyes. I saw that it was Rohit. He was holding me tightly, my body was plastered to his and one of my hand was resting on his arm and another was on his very hard chest.

Even his heart was beating very fast.

He was as shocked as I was. We kept looking at each other for a few seconds. His eyes were looking into mine. They were not ready to leave my face and my blood started rushing towards my face making it red.

My phone beeped and we both came back to reality. My phone had landed safely between our bodies hence it seemed that it was safe. I picked it up and pushed on his chest to get out of his arms. He took a deep breath and loosened his grip on my waist.

I was too embarrassed, I stepped back and I looked at my phone. It was safe and sound. He was still standing there looking at me. I wanted to break the awkward moment.

" Umm.. thanks. " I said

" Welcome.... " He said and grinned.

Oh god!!! He took it in the wrong way. But he looked devilishly handsome with that grin on his face.

" I mean sorry... "

" Why are you saying sorry.... " He smiled.

" I am saying sorry because I fell on you... "

" Oh that was not a problem... It is ok. " He grinned again.

" Still sorry... "

" No need to say sorry, beautiful... Thanks was good enough. I know you liked what just happened, I loved it too... " He was grinning making me feel as if he was making fun of me and I wanted to slap him.

" Ha ha ha... Very funny... I said thanks because I did not fall and my phone is also safe. " I was getting annoyed with him.

" Don't worry dear, you would always be safe with me. It is you who keeps attacking me. See today also you launched at me with all your stuff. All those things landed on me after flying in the air."

" Sorry for that sir... "

" Why do you keep attacking me? Do you have a problem with me ? " he raised his eyebrow and I rolled mine.

" Sir can we please get on with our work... As far as I know we have a lot of things to do. And... No sir... I don't have any problem. " I said and started picking up my things which were scattered on the ground. He also bent down and started picking up the things and gave them to me.

Why was he looking at me like this? More important questions was... why was my heartbeat increasing? Why was I getting conscious of his eyes on me? I hope I am not going on the same path again... No, I will have to avoid him.

I snatched my things from his hand and got up abruptly. He chuckled and shook his head. He also got up.

" Shall we go sir? " I asked him in a sarcastic tone.

" Certainly... " He smiled very sweetly.

We had a meeting with the designer first... He was ready with the designs. Mr. Kapoor asked for my opinion and I said what I thought. He nodded and took some of my suggestions.

Then we went to Meet Priya's dad and got some of the materials from there as he was the biggest exporters of all types of traditional indian textiles. Rahul ji had taken the material for samples from Kabir uncle only. We could find all types of indian handmade textiles there.

After we selected the material we had to go for accessories. But, Kabir Uncle insisted us to have lunch with him. We had lunch, Uncle asked me about my family. I told him and saw that Mr. kapoor was listening very carefully. Kabir Uncle and my dad knew each other for quite a long time now.

After lunch, we were supposed to go for accessories. We went to a very famous place where all possible kinds of trimmings and accessories were available.
