THE PASSIONATE EGO

1: FIND SOMEONE ELSE

A beautiful girl is sleeping on her bed peacefully forgetting about everything in this world. Looking at her sincere face anyone can fall in love with her.

She feels some water falling on her with pressure and hence she gets up with a jerk and starts shouting " Mukti Navya there's a tsunami here save me save me. We'll drown." And here her besties Mukti and Navya ends up rolling on the floor laughing like c***k heads.

The girl notices them laughing and gets confused . She looked around her realises that there's no tsunami, neither any flood nothing but still she's totally drenched in water which totally means that her two besties bitches have poured a bucket of water on her.

The girl shouts " what the f**k you two . Is this the way you treat your best friend or you both don't consider me one ." 

Listening her lame reason Mukti and Navya stops laughing. and Mukti speaks " shut up Nanz the first thing is that today we have to go to office and Maria would be already like bursting volcano and the second thing we do consider you our bestie, our soulmate thats why we treat you this way . You know it's our style to treat each other ." 

Nanz chuckles and Navya continues " And yes Nanz you can't accuse us like this . If we won't have woken you up then not only you .but we both too would have ended up with no job at home. "

 Listening Navya both Nanz and Mukti shouted together " s**t man. We are late ." 

" great realisation idiots " Navya comments " Now Nanz get your ass off this bed and get ready soon . I am making breakfast " Navya continues and starts moving out of the room but stops and says " well Mukti don't you think you are forgetting something ." 

Mukti bit her tongue " please Navya .You know I hate cooking " Mukti says" 

" oh really.." Navya said and Mukti smiled a bit but listening to Navya's next sentence her smile vanished and converted to a frown " shut up I don't care come and help me " Nanz giggled to Mukti's condition. Listening her laugh both Mukti and Navya glared at her and she nervously ran into the washroom to get freshed.

Nanz POV

Not again . Again this morning I got a cold water shower which those 2 witches poured over me well I do agree that they are witches. But they are my buddies. So I have no option but to tolerate them . Well yeah it's not my first time of getting such a nice shower from them. You know what I mean . It's very common for me and they also know it's the last option to wake me up so yeah no hard feels. They most frequently try this only on me but nevertheless those are not that bad . But I am also no less I am Nandini Murty . I never leaves them after their all these mischiefs . But today I am not much angry at them . 

Maria is the head editor of business class news channel as her name suggest we mostly concern about the business need and all that s**t. She's super strict at work but still she's a sweetheart . 

We took leave from our office for a week to just chill and roam around Toronto . Yeah that's the place we stayeds at on our little girl vacation. But we extended it to 10 days and today we'll be going office after 10 days . I hope her mood will be good today otherwise we'll really be kicked out.

We three are soul sisters. Our colleagues always state us as inseparables. We never keep secrets from each other. Well Navya is the most mature amongst us and I am least . Mukti is a tomboy and the most daring .. After my parents died they are the only ones who stood by me, cared for me. We all 3 are orphans if you wanna keep it that way but we all have each other by our sides. The onyl reason we never feel our parents absence.

Nanz POV over

They reached their office and as soon as they entered the receptionist made a action telling then that they are most probably gonna be dead soon . We gave horrified looked at each other and ran towards Maria's cabin

As they entered Maria's cabin she gave them a deadly angry glare but continued working on her laptop.

"Good Morning ma'am" The three spoke together trying to check the rate of her mood.

"Good Morning girls. Wow you guys came so early . You just extended it for 3 days. I think why not give you three a lifetime leave from this job." Maria snapped back.

" No.....ma'am it's all my mistake. Mukti and Navya have nothing to do with this. I told them to stay with me at the hospital. I felt scared" Nandini acted innocent.

"Hospital?" Maria asked.

"What hospital?" Navya and Muktia looked shocked.

Nanz winked at them both and continued "yes ma'am actually you know I am an orphan but my aunt. Yes my aunt she met with an accident and was at the hospital so I was there to take care for her and I insisted both of them to accompany me."

"ohhh but wait a minute i've never heard of your aunt before" Maria exclaimed trying to remember any time when Nandini ever mentioned her aunt.

"Oh there's no aunt. I mean yes definitely i have an aunt. She is actually a relative from very very far even i found out about this a few days back. She contacted me. Cried so bad that my heart melted" Nandini tried cooking up a well believable story.

Oh i am so sorry Nanz. If you need any money or any sort of help come directly to me but-" Maria went a little soft on the three.

Before she could speak anymore Nanz spoke " Yeah so I think we should go and just complete our pending work. So byee. Have a nice day " and they 3 immediately left her cabin leaving Maria in a daze.

Nanz POV 

I told you guys she's really a sweetheart. She always helps her employes with any matter financial or any other .

Meanwhile in a master bedroom on a king size round bed . A man was sleeping naked beside a completely naked girl shades of sunlight falls on his face and his sleep is broken. Aww a princess, sorry nope kidding.

The man got up from the bed and threw the girls clothes on her face due to which her sleep broke. The girl winced "ouch"

"Hey get up and leave it's morning" The guy replied non chanantly roaming around the room getting himself dressed.

" but " the girl tried to speak but was interrupted by the man " what but and all . You can join office from tomorrow you got this job. Happy? So now leave from here ."

"Oh really thanks alot Manik" the girl squealed like a kid getting her favourite candy.

"Ahh.... It's sir for you now. Get up and leave." manik dismissed her

The girl walked out of the room giving him a disgusted look.

The man that is Manik Malhotra one and only owner of Malhotra and companies the leading one in Norway received a call.

"Dude it's 12'o clock already where the hell have you been. We have a big meeting today. Knock Knock any memory." spoke the caller.

"f**k man. I totally forgot . Thanks Cabir. I'll be there soon" Manik replied astonished at how could possibly he get late. It's never happened before.

In sometime he got ready and left for his office .

Manik malhotra is a play boy . He needs a girl everyday on his bed and tops the charts of a big time charmer and flirt. Well whatever he wants he always gets that by hook or by crook .

Cabir dhawan is his only best friend someone who understands him inside out and well these guys work together. Today they have a very important meeting with the Flinns which at current is world's no 1 company and signing a project with them will take Malhotras and Company to great heights.

Manik reached his office and went staright to the meeting with Cabir . The meeting went for long but finally as expected they got the deal .

Manik's Cabin

"buddy this Maria has irritated the s**t out of me and tomorrow she is sending her team for your much awaited interview . So be ready by 1 . Don't forget" Cabir reminded his best buddie who for some reasons had been out of zone lately.

"Oh yeah fine i'll be ready" Manik replied looking through a few files.

"And for your kind information those three musketeers will be coming about whom she talks about everyday for the interview. You've heard about them right?" Cabir asked trying to get a grip over him.

"ohh . I have heard a lot about them even Maria used to tell me about them those three girls . But buddy right now this is more important" Manik replied.

"Okay okay but tomorrow i want you to be on your best behaviour. No mixing up" Cabir gave a heads up.

"You think so low of me. I mean is it bad if i do. Wasn't interviews supposed to be sexy" Manik smirked.

"This ain't fifty shades and you ain't Christian Grey" Cabir shouts back leaving the cabin

And their day passes away doing office work and attending some meetings.

**********************************************************************************************

Nanz too gets done with her work when a peon calls the three of them out letting them know that Maria wanted to have a quick discussion. 

They have each other a confused look and proceeded towards her cabin

In Maria's cabin

"Maria you called us" Navya asked as soon as they got inside.

"ohh yeah . Guys actually I want to tell you guys that we finally bagged to take Manik Malhotra's interviews and that's tomorrow." Maria replied excited.

"Aah... That famous business tycoon. Ohkay we will" Mukti replied as if nothing new.

"Thanks i just want this to go well could be a big break for our channel so guys tomorrow at 1 be there at his office. Please don't be late" Maria literally begged.

"We'll try" Nanz replied walking out.

Outside the office

" So who's up for a party" nanz asked her friends

"Yup been too long" Mukti replied picking up her things.

"ohh really girls .. We went to one 4 days ago if you guys remember" navya kept her hands on her waist.

"Ohh my god . 4 days before it's soo long . Now we definitely need to go" Nanz exclaimed.

Navya accepted her defeat. She's knows how her friends are. So they went home got ready fast and left for the pub.

At pub

They reached the pub and soon all the eyes were on them. Hot b***h alert guys.

They went to the drink counter and ordered for drinks.

Nanz POV 

We ordered for drinks meanwhile a boy came and asked for mukti for dance . She winked at us and happily agreed and went with him to dance. While leaving Mukti by mistake hit Navya's hand and the drink fell on her so she too went in the washroom to clean her dress . For a long time I was feeling an intense glare on me . At first I ignored it but then I noticed a hot hunk staring at me . Well I know I am hot and sexy but still his reaction made me smirk . Our eyes met for a second but i soon looked away focusing more on my drink. After few seconds I found the same man standing in front of me

Nanz POV end

Manik pov

After office Cabir asked me if i wanted to join him for pub and how can I reject. I needed someone hot for today night so I accompanied him. We both were sitting on a couch and enjoying when I saw a hot girl with luscious lips, face devoid of any make up, her perfectly fitted short dress was showing her curves well and not in a slutty way like the others here and I can't control but stare at her . After a while she too noticed me and our eyes met but she totally ignored me. Like seriously she avoided The Manik Malhotra. How can she. I got up from the couch and started moving towards her...... Aaah....! I have seen her somewhere. Where where? Yeah I remember I saw her in one of my business friend's birthday party. 

Ohh God. Is she really that girl. That day she really moved my senses

Manik pov end

"Hey girl. Can I have a dance with you" Manik asked Nandini

"thanks but no. I am not interested" Nandini replied moving her focus back at her friend dancing on the floor with no care in the world.

"Don't tell me you don't remember me?" Manik asked confused

"well I don't even know you. So from where does this forgot came?" Nandini asked back trying to remember this face.

"You got to be kidding me. You have no idea who i am" Manik asked being shocked.

"Anyone from music or fashion? Well if not then definitely i don't know you" Nanz replied a non chalant way.

"woah you really amaze me but the shocking part is you forgot me that easily" Manik replied trying to stay calm.

"ohh so sorry for forgetting you. Anything else?"Nanz replied turning to other side.

 "You remember that Rahul Oberoi's birthday party" Manik asked trying his luck for the last time.

Nandini tried to remember and then it hit her "ohh God. So you are the guy i-. Me and you!"

Manik interrupting her smirking  "finally you remember me. So I just thought why not finish our unfinished work of that day"

FLASHBACK

Few days before the three musketeers went to attend a business's man's Mr. Rahul oberoi's birthday party where Manik and Cabir were also invited. 

At the party

Nanz POV

We three were just drinking and chatting when we met that b***h. Alya saxena . Our rival. She's also one of the reporter of one of the reputed news channel.

I really don't understand how she got that job. I mean seriously. Just look at her man. She can do nothing except f*****g with guys.

Nanz POV over

"Hey guys." Alya greeted them

"Definitely missed this b***h" Nandini mumbled loud enough for her buddies to hear

Navya and Mukti giggled while Alya roll her eyes waiting for an answer.

"Soo how's everything going. Your job and all" she tried conversing again.

"Everything is perfect with us Alya but i guess not for you. Babe look at your dress, looks like you've been really lowing your standards in terms of clothing and guys. Need some money you can definitely contact us. I won't judge you." Nandini mocked.

Mukti and navya giggled and high fived each other while Alya rolled her eyes in anger

"Ahh . Just shut up . Have you even seen yourself . I am so sexy and hot that I can move any man on my fingers" Alya snapped.

"Whatever you say bimbo" Nandini smirked.

"Who the f**k are you calling a bimbo" Alya roared in pure anger "OK so let's do one thing. Let's see who can seduce that hot man there."

"I am in girl . So I guess you should get the first chance." nandini smirked bigger this time

Mukti and navya were all the while enjoying Alya's condition as they know nothing is difficult for thier girl.

Alya went to that man and tried to seduce him but failed miserably since he excused himself and went with his friend to drink and talk and now it was Nanz turn to work her charm.

Nanz moved towards that guy and spilled her drink on his jacket.

"ohh . I am so sorry . Please come I'll show you the way to the washroom. you can clean it there." Nandini spoke in a seductive way.

The guy tried removing his gaze from her but failed until his friend spoke in his ear "Manik stop oogling at her and go clean yourself."

"Yeah yeah John i'll be back in a minute. after you ma'am" Manik replied coming out of his trance.

Nanz and Manik staeted to move

"Try getting done with this soon" John replied with a wink.

Nanz showed manik the guest room and he went inside to clean his jacket

As Manik came out Nanz moved extremely close to him and whispered huskily in his ears tracingg her fingers on his jaw line "I am really sorry for this. I hope i didn't ruin it"

Manik held her waist tighly and pulled her more towards him. Nanz wrapped her hands around his neck and  both started moving their faces closer to each other .

Now there was less then an inch gap between their lips when Nanz wispered "DONE"  and moved away from his lips

Manik confusingly looked at her while she smirked at him and Alya who was standing behind the pillar for hiding and left

FLASHBACK END

"Mr. Creepy for you info my work was done that day." Nandini spoke remembering that day.

"Think well about it. You won't get this chance again. You are missing a big opportunity here." Manik replied with a smirk plasted on his face.

"excuse me actually you know what . You are actually loosing a big opportunity but let me just tell you.You are wasting your time because i ain't an easy nut to c***k"Nandini stated the fact.

"Well looks like a challenge to me" Manik spoke shoving his hands in his jean pockets.

"whatever you think" Nandini spoke trying to find any of her two friends.

"So challenge accepted miss. And I must tell you I always win challenges" Manik spoke huskily in her ears backing out.

"And I never loose challenges" nanz smirked gaining her composure back trying to leave the place

"Hey atleast i deserve to know your name" Manik shouted over the high pitched music

" That's for you to find out" nandini turned back smirking at him and then walking 

Nanz in parking lot met Mukti and Navya

"Hey is everything okay. You guys texted emergency" nandini asked as soon as she spotted both of them.

"Nothing to panic about just my whole dress got spoiled" navya replied with a sad face, she really loved this dress.

"babe it's okay. we'll get a new one for you. exact same. So let's leave them the party is boring anyways" nandini tried to cheer up her friend.

They 3 reached home and on the other side manik too reached home after dropping Cabir to his house.

Nanz goes to her bed and sleeps not knowing that she has stolen Manik's sleep. Here nanz is sleeping peacefully and there manik can't blink his eye once . He was so lost in her. He can't get his mind off her.
