My Imperfect Sadu Singh Oberoi

Chapter 4

Abella was so lost in Siddhant’s beautiful eyes that without her realizing, she uttered Prince Charming as she closed the distance between them, until their noses were merely a breath away from touching the other. She couldn't resist herself from looking into it. The only melody she could hear at the moment was how wildly her heart was beating against her ribcage. The papers that were flying around become rose petals for her eyes. She had literally mentally transported herself into a dreamworld at that moment. If she could, she would have captured that moment and put it into her scrapbook. She was at lost of words and keep muttering Prince Charming for every breath she heaved out.

Time did not only stand still for Siddhant and Abella, but it also did for everyone else in the office. The interns who heard the sound came back through the door only to find their fellow friend and the most frightening person in the office to be in an undeniably intimate position. Pranav who had just entered the hallway was amused to see all gazes in the room fixed upon a particular something. As Pranav shifted his gaze towards what they were looking at, even his jaw dropped to the ground, along with the things he had in his hand. The clattering of the things on the ground brought Siddhant back to his senses. Siddhant tried to back off from Abella, but unknowingly, her grip on his collar remained the same and once again, she addressed him as Prince Charming.

“What? PRINCE CHARMING?! Hello! Can you come back to reality?”

Siddhant's words snapped Abella out of her dreamland. They composed themselves and Abella mumbled a sorry as she trie to cover her face, embarrassed with what had happened earlier. Her hands raised up to cover her eyes as she lowered her head.

“It’s good that you are! Is this how you behave to your employer on the first day of your internship? Huh? You have got no work ethics at all. Wait a second, why am I even talking about work ethics. Do you even have any manners, in the first place? Is this how you get dressed for your workplace?” Abella briefly looked down and took a look at her ripped jeans paired with a sleeveless crop top.

“This? This ripped jeans and converse shoes. Do you even realise that each and every employee is a representative of Ahaana Authenthics to the outside world? And do you even have any idea on what kind of clothing we produce here? Why the hell am I even explaining this to you? You know what? YOU ARE FIRED! Now everyone get back to your work!” Siddhant snapped out and walked away, leaving behind an astounded Abella.

As soon as Siddhant turned away and began walking towards his cabin, everyone resumed their work except for Abella, Shanaya and Pranav. Abella was caught in a trance due to him roaring at her in such a manner. Shanaya slowly walked towards Abella and patted her shoulder slightly. Abella was rendered speechless a she turned to face Shanaya. All she could do was to prevent herself from crying while fanning her face. She tried hard to keep her tears within, but she broke into tears when Shanaya hold both her shoulders firmly, trying to pull her into a hug. Shanaya made her sit on a bench there and knelt in front of her while trying to calm Abella.

“Shuusshh, Abella! Don’t cry, please!”

“Everything is gone! Everything is gone! I am doomed! I am doomed Shanaya!” Abella repeated while crying. Shanaya was trying to console her but it was all in vain. That was when Pranav stepped in handing over a box of tissue to Abella. She immediately wiped off her tears and both of them thanked him for the concern. He knelt down next to Shanaya facing Abella, instead of walking away like how they had expected of him.

“I must say that you are very brave by the way, Miss...” Pranav paused hoping for the good name of the pretty lady in front of him.

“Abella Morgan D’Souza” Shanaya replied on her behalf.

“Ah... Abella... Thank you! You are extremely brave Miss Abella. You dared to bang into the Siddhant Singh Oberoi and call him Prince Charming!” Pranav praised Abella, though it was putting her in a very excruciating situation.

“It was a mistake. I didn't do anything on purpose. In fact I wanted to get up right away but I don't know why suddenly I became like a love struck teenager. Trust me, Sir. I seriously didn't mean it at all” Abella tried explaining her situation.

“I knew that one day your fantasy world was going to put us in a Bobsy-die our lives though I had no idea that it was going to be today. But, seriously I'm so angry at that person, that Siddhant!” Shanaya groaned frustratedly.

“I swear to God, I’m gonna kill him and tear him into pieces!”

“Okay, okay! Chill! Please don't go on cursing my brother like this” Pranav exasperated in shock. Abella and Shanaya looked at each other when he said the word brother.

“Good job, Shanaya! Along with Abella, now you will be ousted too!” Shanaya thought to herself.

“By the way, I can help you out, you know, but, only and only if you want it” Pranav forwarded help to Abella.

“How are you going to do that?” Abella questioned him being confused.

Shanaya shouldered her and said “he just said Siddhant is his brother na, should be some brotherly magic then”

“You can say that, but I can only help, she has to do the hardwork”

Abella and Shanaya looked at each other. Shanaya nodded at Abella, asking her to give it a try. Abella nodded a yes and asked, “what should I do but then?”
