Promise to Love You

Secret Lover Or Future Husband

Megha

As Megha entered the office building's elevator with Kiran and Shruti, her office friend met her near the elevator.

"Megha!! It's good you're here. Did you hear today's news?" Nisha asked warmly, grabbing Megha's arm. She entered the elevator as she spoke.

She didn't notice Kiran and Shruti standing behind Megha.

Kiran's eyes narrowed in displeasure seeing a girl grab Megha like that. Shruti held his arm so Kiran wouldn't lose his temper. Megha also noticed Kiran's face darkening.

So Megha quickly tried to direct Nisha's attention to Kiran.

"Nisha, should we talk later? Not now." Megha tried to stop Nisha.

"No, listen now. The news Seema told me is the most shocking. You'll be shocked if you hear it." Nisha said, ignoring Megha's words.

Megha saw the growing sternness on Kiran's face through the side mirror on the elevator wall.

"Nisha..." Megha wanted to say.

"No. Listen to me. This is about you.” Nisha kept talking.

Megha looked at Kiran helplessly. Before Kiran could say anything, Shruti cleared her throat.

"Miss, Nisha... we're here too," Shruti said in an authoritative voice.

Nisha turned back at Shruti's voice. Then her eyes also went to Kiran. Now her eyes widened with fear.

"S-Sir... Good morning, Sir." Nisha quickly greeted Kiran nervously.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Nisha asked Megha in a low voice.

"I tried to warn you. You weren't listening," Megha said softly.

"What were you talking about, Miss Nisha? What news are you talking about?" Kiran asked.

"Nothing, sir." Nisha shakes her head in fear.

Kiran looked at her carefully for the first time. Nisha was on the verge of fainting at her cold gaze. She held onto Megha for support.

"Sir, Nisha was just joking. Don't pay attention to her." Megha silenced him with a wink.

Kiran looked ahead and adjusted his tie. This meant he wasn't going to let this matter go so easily.

"I'm the CEO of this company. And as CEO, I need to know what's going on in my company." Kiran's voice was clearly insistent.

"Now tell me. What's your news about Miss Megha?" Shruti asked reluctantly.

"Tell me," Megha told her.

"In the office group... there's news that Megha's secret lover has filled her office with many flowers." Nisha told them.

The word "secret lover!" Megha's heart sank upon hearing it. Kiran's eyes widened in shock. Shruti was also stunned.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any secret lover." Megha quickly snapped at Nisha in a panicked face.

After hearing that, Kiran's face darkened more than before, and he shot a sharp gaze at Megha. Megha avoids looking at him in the mirror.

On the other hand, Shruti's eyes sparked as she got a new weapon to hurt Megha.

“A secret lover? Megha, you didn't tell me this before. We are colleagues after all. So tell us, who is your lover?” Shurti asked with a playful smile.

“I don't have any lovers. I swear… Nisha, stop flashing fake news.” Megha lost color as she tried to clear herself.

“It is not flash news. Look! It's on our office trending news! See it yourself.” Nisha opened her office chat group page and showed it to Megha.

But before Megha takes the phone from Nisha. Kiran was much faster than her. He took the phone from Nisha and read the page. His eyes grow cold as he reads.

Megha can guess that something is not right. Kitan's gloomy face tells her to prepare for his anger at any time.

“What is mentioned there?” Megha asked Nisha in a hurry.

She wants to prepare herself.

“It shows your cabin filled with different colors. And a big bookie filled with red roses. Maybe it's the ninth nine red. It's sent via a flower shop guy. All of them have a note on it. It's the most trending topic on our page. Some of them share on social media too. Now everyone is guessing who your secret lover is.” Nisha told Megha all the details about the post.

Megha's face becomes white knowing someone pranked her. And her worst time was when Kiran saw it. Now she was praying that Kiran didn't take it to heart.

"Someone must have pranked us. Sir, don't pay attention to this nonsense." Megha took the mobile from Kiran's hand and gave it back to Nisha.

"If it's a prank, then I'd like to meet the prankster," Kiran said coolly.

"I also want to meet your boyfriend. I also want to see who likes our company's design head," Shruti said with a smile.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened. The four of them got off the elevator.

Megha felt relieved because Kiran's office was on the other side of Megha's cabin. There was a long corridor between them. Megha had hoped that Kiran and Shruti would now go to their cabins from the right side.

Shruti's HR department was on the second floor. But ever since Shruti became Kiran's girlfriend, she always went to Kiran's cabin first, as always.

Despite being on the same floor, Megha and Kiran only exchanged glances through their glass doors. Because Kiran's desk was opposite Megha's door, Megha could only see Kiran when he left his cabin for meetings.

Megha also had three other designers in her cabin who helped her with projects. So, Megha was never alone. Nisha was one of the main designers.

That's why there was always a buzz around Megha.

"Sir, you're here. You have an important meeting..." Kiran's assistant and secretary Asim, was waiting for Kiran near the elevator.

The guard had already informed him that the boss was coming up.

Asim was a 29-year-old young man. He was quite good at his work. He does his job as a secretary and assistant very well. Ever since Kiran took over the office, Asim had been working with Kiran like his shadow, handling all his tasks.

So, as soon as he saw Kiran, he opened his iPad and started telling Kiran about today's schedule.

"Later..." Kiran said, stopping him with his hand.

The assistant looked at Megha questioningly. Besides Shruti, Asim was the only person who knew about Kiran and Megha's friendship.

He always called Megha "Madam." He knew how special Megha was to Kiran.

"Good morning, Madam." Asim walked next to Megha instead of Shruti.

Shruti didn't like this, but she kept her anger in check. She first had to find out about Megha's scandal so she could use it to distance Megha from Kiran.

"Good morning, Asim," Megha said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Sir seems a bit angry today." Asim asked in a low tone.

"The boss found out that Miss Megha has a lover who has sent her a lot of roses. We're all going to see him," Shruti said loudly.

So that if Kiran's anger subsides, it will ignite. Otherwise, it won't be fun to watch the free drama.

And that's exactly what happened. Karin's steps moved faster. As they approached Megha's cabin, they saw a crowd of people surrounding, watching the scene from the door.

As soon as one of them caught sight of Kiran, "Boss!" someone called out loudly.

Everyone turned around and looked behind them. Seeing Kiran standing there with a dark face, they all ran away as if they had seen a ghost in the daylight.

Kiran wasn't in the mood to scold them, so he stepped forward, opened Megha's cabin door, and entered.

His eyes had already spotted the flowers through the glass door. And as soon as he entered, he was hit with a strong floral scent.

Shruti and Asim, along with Megha, widened in shock. They followed Kiran inside.

There wasn't a corner of the room that wasn't adorned with large bouquets.

"Oh my God! So it's true!" Nisha's voice startled everyone.

Megha turned and looked at her, who was taking several photos with her phone. Megha tried to stop her.

"Stop it. Don't take photos.” Megha tried to block her phone.

"No. This is the first time anyone has sent such a large quantity of flowers to someone in this office. You are so lucky, Megha." Nisha pushes Megha aside and takes lots of photos.

"Which desk is yours?" Kiran's cold voice frightened Megha even more.

"Madam's desk is over there." Asim pointed to the table in the center.

Kiran reached the desk and saw a large bouquet of red roses kept there.

"Sir, I'll get this cleaned right away. You go to your cabin." Megha told Kiran to leave.

But Kiran extended his hand, took the large card inside the bouquet of red roses, and opened it.

Reading it, Kiran's jaw tightened with anger. Shruti took the card from Kiran's hand and read it aloud.

“This is a flower from me for your flower-like smile. Wish u a very good morning, your future Hubby Om.”

“Om!” Megha put her hand on her mouth in shock.

On the other hand, Kiran's face turned gloomy.

“Oh My God! So it's not a secret lover, it's a future Husband.” Nisha said excitement.

“There is no future Husband!!” Kiran snapped in anger.

Nisha hid beind Mefha in fear. Secretary Asim also shiver little.

Before Megha, Shurti steps forward to calm Kiran down.

“Calm down, Sir. It must be a prank. You don't have to be angry at Miss Megha.“ Shurti said soft tone.

Megha looks at Kiran who turns to her with fuming eyes. He cloe his eyes for second to calm down his anger.

“Yes, sir. My friend must be messing around. I'm sorry on his behalf. Please, forgive him.” Megha said requesting tone.

“Mess or prank… I won't allow anyone to mess with my office like this. He will pay for what he did. And you don't have to apologize for him.” Kitan's turn from cold to gentle very quickly as he talk to Megha.

Shurti lips tighten in displeasure. She knew Kitan couldn't get angry at Megha even if he wanted to. There was a strong wall around them that even kiran's anger won't allow to broke it.

“Do you know who Megha's future husband is, sir?” Nisha who was absorbing the meaning behind their conversation asked.

Kiran gave her a dead gaze.

“I mean… a prankster… I didn't mention husband again… Sorry-sorry.” Nisha snapped her mouth.

Kiran, not in the mood to deal with her, so he turns to Megha.

But before Kiran could say something Megha's phone rings.

Megha pulled out her phone and saw the caller ID. Her eyes widened again. Kiran, who had observed her expression, snatched the phone from her and put it to his ear.

“Hello, my dear wifey." A familiar voice came from the other side.

Wifey burns all the limits in Kiran's heart. Megha Shift to Secretary Asim.

“Please, take him away. He will burn the office." Megha asked Secretary Asim for help.

“I'm sorry, Madam. I'm afraid too. But looking at the boss, no one can stop him. Don't worry, I'm with you.” Secretary Asim shakes his head and apologizes.

“Om, stop playing with your brother's anger,” Megha murmured.

“She is not your wife, Om.” Kiran bangs on the table with full anger.

The room froze for a moment.
