Lost Presentation

I sipped on my coffee as I felt relaxed and enjoyed seeing the sight outside.

"Someone is looking happy." I turned my head and saw Tanvir.

"I am, today I have finalized the presentation and that too before the boss could come."

"Oh yeah, Raman is going to arrive after the lunch break."

"Umm…. now I just have to send him the final presentation and he could handle the rest."

"Who knew that someone like him could be over here?" I looked at him and he looked at me before he realized that whatever he had said, I had heard it as well.

"What does that mean?"

"That means nothing."

"Do you know him from before?"

"No, that is nothing like that."

"There must be something that you but others don't. Confess already or else I also know the hard way."

"And that is?" He asked.

"Do you really think that you can challenge me?" After saying that I smirked.

"Why does that give me a strange vibe?"

"I don't know."

"But whatever, I won't be telling you anything anyway because there is nothing that you really need to know." After saying that he went away and I just shook my head. Even my trick didn't work on him. I wasn't even that serious when I was joking around with him about that but not going to lie, his off-topic talks had made me curious and I wanted to know how he knew the boss. But butting in someone's life is not my thing.

I finished my coffee and was going towards my desk when I saw the boss who was smiling brightly and today along with that smile, he was looking more handsome. I shook my head.

'You can't cheat on your love.' I reminded myself and I started to go towards him and found him talking with his assistant. I was about to go from there as I saw him being engrossed in is talk.

"I understand, you may leave." I heard his voice which was directed towards his assistant. "Ms. Bakshi, do you have anything to tell me?" I stopped in my way and looked behind and saw him still smiling brightly.

"I don't have anything to say."

"So, is it that you wanted to see me that you have come over here?" My eyes widened a bit and I took some steps back.

"I-I just have to inform you that I have completed the presentation."

"That is great. Send it to me as soon as possible." He said and I looked at him and my heart was beating fast. I shook my head.

"Is something wrong with your neck?" He asked and took a step forward to come towards me.

"It is nothing, I will be sending you the ppt in a few minutes."

"Will be waiting for that." After saying that I had come out from there and put my hand on my chest and felt the heart which was thumping way too fast. I think it must be because of his flirty comment.

After a while everything was back to normal and I went towards my desk and opened it. I went through my screen to look for the presentation but to my shock there wasn't any present and that again made my heart race fast in fear. I carefully checked every icon on the desktop but the presentation wasn't present over there and after that I had gone through every file possible to find the presentation but I didn't find anything.

I even felt that I was in a daze and went to wash my face and even after returning to my seat when I looked at the screen, I couldn't find it. It was like it never existed and whatever I had created was in my mind but never on the desktop.

"What is wrong?" I heard my friend's voice and looked at her.

"Did I work on the presentation?" She gave me a look before she had realized what I was trying to say. She quickly stood beside me and looked at my desktop.

"You had done your presentation; I had seen it. Where is it?"

"I had lost it." I said while leaning back on the chair and facing the ceiling. I couldn't believe that my two day's hard work just went into vain. I was feeling so much disappointed in myself that for a moment I want to kill myself.

"How could it have disappeared?" Maya said. "Or maybe…." I knew what she meant but how can I suspect her when I feel that somehow, I had taken this opportunity from her.

"Don't think so much. I will do it once again."

"But it wasn't a presentation that can be created in a short period, you have given more hours to complete this project and it is gone."

"That is why I am saying that I will do it again. Don't worry about me, you should go and do your work." I sighed and put my hand on my face before I faced the desktop again. I called Megha.

"What's up?"

"Trouble."

"What is wrong?" I explained everything to her.

"I am sure that she must have done something."

"Forget about and do me a favor."

"What is that?"

"Tell my parents that I will be staying over at your house for today."

"Will they agree?"

"They have to and if they won't then you know their weakness."

"Alright, leave that on me." After saying that she hung up and I once again started to do my project and it took the entire evening.

"Ms. Bakshi it is already time for going home but you are still here and I have been waiting for your presentation but I didn't receive any." I looked at the time and it was already 6 in the evening and my floor was almost empty.

"Actually sir." I was looking away but then looked at him. "I had lost it."

"What?"

"I have lost the presentation but don't worry I would do that soon enough." I said and started once again but then I heard a chair being pulled and saw the blazer on my desk and the file being taken away from my hand.

"Let me help you." I heard his soft voice which made me frozen and made me unable to process anything further.
