Not A Fair Game ( Free Book )

CHAPTER 15

Krish’s POV 

I was getting late for work and I knew that our argument could go on forever. So what’s the point in delaying work. Oriya had to complain about everything irrespective of what she truly wanted. I wonder why am I so attracted to this annoying women. I could find better looking women who would worship me without questions. However I had to lust over the toughest from the lot and I want her. 

Last night I could do all things with her which I was day dreaming about but I had to control. I don’t have a very strong reason for wanting her but still it is like a chase which I have accomplish. It’s like one of the business deals, I want to win her over. I want her to beg for my touch and be at my mercy. 

Once I left for the elevator she followed me without questions. I realised I had amicable taste in women’s clothing, she looked beautiful and elegant in the simple green blouse with white pleated skirt. I wonder how the purple lingerie would look on her soft pale skin.

“Oriya you can pick your car in the evening. Come with me” she follows my instructions for a change. While getting in the car when I looked at her, I could see that she looked tired. During the entire ride she didn’t say a word, it was the most peaceful time I have had with her. But still something was killing me, probably my guilt. She was sad because of me. 

The entire day while working I was lost thinking about her. All I could think was how sad she was but I had to be strong. I can’t just lose her because of my guilt. She will be mine even if I do something wrong to gain her. 

For the next meeting Oriya had to join us. She was supposed to understand the concept of our new technology as well the designs of the car. 

The meeting started in the conference room and she entered after being ten minutes late. “Oriya please be on time for meetings. I don’t have time to repeat again and again” I had to make her understand the rules of my company. Irrespective of the things going on between us there are rules to be followed which even I cannot break. 

The meeting continued but I noticed that all my engineers were more interested in her than the work. They were staring at her like she was some angel. I was annoyed by their behaviour and I couldn’t understand what to do so I shut my laptop with a bang. 

The sudden noise got me all the attention from my engineers and they were scared to look at me. “We are done here. Oriya meet me in my cabin.” I stormed out of the conference room before I would vent my anger on anyone.

Within few minutes Oriya enters my cabin. She looks the same tired and sad. “Please have a seat. We shall discuss the designs and other technicalities of my design”

She looks at me with a shock expression and says “Did you design this car ?” 

“Yes I did. We do have a team of designers but this one is my baby. As you know this car will be  using only solar energy and will take up to eight hours to charge up. We will be having a backup of CNG just in case if the consumers need” I continued to explain all the technicalities of the new design and the meeting went smoothly. She noted down everything and absorbed every word. 

“So any questions Oriya” I was sure she would be confused by few terminologies as she didn’t have any knowledge of engines or car designs. 

“At the moment I don’t have any questions. But I would need the CAD design for filing applications. It would be better if you could give me all the variations of the design as well. We could file for protection of all the variations and later we could use them as we required”.  She spoke in the most professional tone and during the entire meeting we both forgot about last night. It was amazing how she could separate her professional and personal life.  By the time meeting got done my assistant brought coffee and placed the them before us with some cookies.

Oriya picked up her coffee and said “it’s surprising that you designed this car. I thought you were just into business. Never knew that you have a creative side”.

“Actually it was my dream to design cars. But I also have responsibility of this company. I am waiting for the day to launch this car and see it running on the streets” 

“When will this car be launched ?” Oriya asked with her curious eyes. 

“We are hoping to launch it soon but it depends on the production unit” she was listening to me tentatively while sipping her coffee. 

“So I will get back to work then” Oriya got up and left my cabin. I could not help myself but look at her while she was walking towards the door. I wanted to stop her and continue our talk. She had soothing voice and talking with her was interesting. I wanted to know more about her but before I could do say something I saw hesitation in her eyes as if she was planning to run away from me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to force her today maybe some other time I could plan.  

Gosh I need her as soon as possible or I will lose my mind behind her.

Oriya’s POV 

Once we reached office I didn’t want to see Krish for the entire day. However we had a meeting to discuss some car designs. Mrs. Sushma had informed me when she bought me some files in the morning. 

I was lost in drafting when Mrs. Sushma entered my cabin in rush “Oriya you are late for your meeting. Please head to the conference room fast”.

I hurriedly picked up my notepad and pen while saying “ thanks for saving my day. I totally forgot about the meeting” 

When I entered the conference room I knew I was going to get shoutings so I was ready for it. It didn’t matter to me what Krish would say. I have decide to ignore him as much as possible. 

“Oriya please be on time for meetings. I don’t have time to repeat again and again” He was already in annoyed with me so I thought not to retaliate at the moment so I just nodded my head and took the empty seat which was far from Krish. 

The meeting went smoothly however I could notice that Krish was looking at me with as if I did something really bad. I couldn’t understand why was he angry with me ? Wasn’t I supposed to be angry on him and not vice versa. He has lost his brains. Out of now where I heard him shut his laptop with a bang and he left the meeting before saying “We are done here. Oriya meet me in my cabin”

“Oriya where were you last night ?” I saw Chintan approaching me. “ I left with a friend as after those deadly drinks I wasn’t feeling well” I tried to be calm as much as possible.

“Ohh we were worried about you. You should have informed us at least. You know from next time you’re not allowed to drink” he gave me a warning shot. 

“Ok fine. I will find other friends to drink with” I tried to laugh it out but still he was staring at me like a mad dog. 

“Yeah right as if aunty will allow you to go out without us. Good luck for that” 

“Can we forget last night please. I promise not to do it again” I was begging him to forget. 

“Ok. One last chance. So join us for lunch. Everyone wants to meet the new lawyer” he looked around and his colleagues waved at us. 

“Yeah as soon as the meeting gets done, I will join you guys for lunch” I left them and headed for my next meeting.  As I had no other option so I just followed Krish's instructions. No doubt I was mad at him but we still worked together I didn’t want to spoil our professional  relationship. I could deal with him later once my work is done. 

Our meeting went peacefully without any arguments and I was surprised to see him so passionate about his car. I never knew he had a creative side and was interested in car designing. He is talented but I just can’t stand his ego and his nature to be dominant. Why couldn’t he just be normal like others but then I wouldn’t notice him. s**t I’m clueless. Do I like him or not ?
