Aashita's pov, I was on my way to the office. I was just thinking about what happened last week. I know, I am very stubborn, but what to do? I can't help it. I have never demanded anything before because my dad and brothers filled in all those things before asking for it. They raised me like some kind of princess. This time I demanded something and my brother went against it. However, I am not happy fighting with him because he is my favorite brother. Not only my favorite, I also love him a lot. Even so, I am surprised because I fought with him. If this was my Viraj Bhaiya (Brother) I would not have been surprised, because he fought with me not seriously but to irritate me. He liked to irritate me. If he refused to work for that firm, I would not be surprised. When I was thinking about all the events, Dev called me. He is my childhood friend and two years older. Nowadays, he is doing an MBA course in the UK to support his father's business. "Hello Dev, how are you?" I asked him as soon as I got the phone call, but he laughed. "Ha...Ha...Ha..., I am fine Aashi, and what about you? You told me last time when we talked, your brother Reyansh did not agree to work for that firm." He asked me. "I am also fine, Dev and about Bhaiya. He doesn't even agree for now, but my dad gave me permission so he can't do anything about it, so eventually, he agreed." I sighed. "Then what happened, Aashi? Be happy about your job. Why are you looking sad?" He said. "Because I am not happy fighting with him. You also know we never fought, but now what happened is, after fighting with him, this is the fourth day and he has not talked with me. I even called him so many times, but he did not answer my calls." I told him what happened in those four days. "Aashi, don't be sad. Maybe he is also feeling sad and guilty about fighting with you. That's why he is not attending the calls." He said while cheering up my mood. "Give him some time to think. Until then, let's give this topic some break." He added, and I nodded. "Oh...by the way, what happened to your girlfriend? You are not busy with her," I asked playfully. " "Oh...God, Aashi, how many times I have told you, she is not my girlfriend. She is my classmate and don't tease me with her." he begged, and I laughed. "Oh...! Loverboy is getting shy." He gave me a strained look. Okay...,Okay..., I am not teasing you happy now." I said and he nodded his head. "Ma'am, Your destiny has arrived." The cab driver said. "Dav, I have to go now. We will talk later." I said to him and hung the call. I paid to the driver and got out of the cab and went inside the firm. Contact the receptionist. "Hello...! Good morning ma'am." She greeted me with a friendly smile. "Good morning...!" I also said. "Do you have any appointments, ma'am?" She asked me. "No, actually my name is Aashita Verma and today is my first day of work at this firm." I said and she typed something on her computer. After that, she called Mr. Dixit. "Hello sir, Good morning. Ms. Aashita Verma Reported, Sir." She said after that I only heard these words. "Yes sir." "Okay sir" "Okay sir" "Ma'am, this way to the fifteenth floor and there Abhishek sir will guide you." She pointed to the elevator and I thanked her and went inside the elevator. After tapping the fifteenth floor button, I waited and when I got there, I was mesmerised by the design and interior. It was so beautiful. "Hello, Beautiful." Somebody said to me and I turned to see who that person was and there was at least a six-foot person and who looked like some royal family prince. I mean he is handsome and his white shirt and blue jeans do not mention that, because any girl would fall for him. One minute, why am I thinking about all this nonsense? "Hello...!" This was my only reply. He smiled at my answer. "Hey, don't be rude to me for calling you beautiful. That's my habit whenever I see something beautiful or somebody. By the way, my name is Abhishek Aka Abhi. He introduced himself and extended his hand. "Aashita Verma and thanks." I also introduced myself. "So, you are the one who is going to work with him?" Rather, then asking me he questioned me. "Yes" I answered him. "Then, all the best for you on the first day." He said, and I raised my eyebrows and also made me nervous. maybe he sensed what I was feeling inside. "Hey...! relax. I didn't mean to scare you. He is not a monster." He said and chuckled. "Thanks sir." I said. "Do I look too old?" He asked me, showing his face. "No" I said while smiling. "Then, why are you calling me sir? You can call me, Abhi, if you don't mind." He said while facing my face. "Umm..." Actually, it's simple to answer him but I ignored him. "Now you are ignoring me." He complained. 'I am not ignoring you Sir, but I am being late to report Mr. Dixit, Sir." I answered him. "Oh...My mistake. It's my duty to take you to him, but I got you entangled in my words. I apologize for that." He apologized to me. I smiled at his drama and nodded my head to accept his apology. "Let's go" He said, and now we are standing in front of Mr. Dixit's cabin. "My duty is over here. You can go inside. All the best." He said, and went from there. He really is something. I mean a joyful person. I knocked on the door and waited for a reply. "Come in." A voice came from inside and entered inside. "Good morning sir." I greeted him. " Good morning, Ms. Verma." He replied and he was also talking to someone on call. He gestured at me for one minute, so I nodded my head. "Yaar(dude) please, already you have fired atleast eight junior architects. Now I am sending her to you, so please behave with her." my eyes widened after hearing what he said. 'Eight junior architects.' How am I going to survive in this place? Now I understand why he said all the best to me. "What do you mean? What am I trying to say? I am trying to say that to control your high temperature anger. Okay, I am done with you for now." He hurriedly hung up the phone. All the time, I am just looking at him. What was he saying? "Oh..sorry about that, so let's discuss your role. As you know already, you're going to work under Mr. Rishi as a junior architect", he said awkwardly. "But sir..." Before I could complete my sentence, he interrupted me. "If you are concerned about salary, then don't worry. What we talked about in the interview is what you are going to get, so don't worry about it." He said. "Sir, it is not about salary. It's about going to work under you. Then why this sudden change?" I asked him. He was going to do something but dropped it. "Sir, I am asking you something. Please answer me." I demanded an answer. "Look, Ms. Verma, I am really sorry but I interviewed you for work under Mr. Rishi not for me" he simply said. "Sir...I can't work under him. I am quitting, sir." I said and turned to leave the cabin. "Ms. Verma, are you going to miss this opportunity?" This time he questioned me. "Yes sir, because I never promised anything which I am not going to fulfill." I taunted him. He raised his eyebrows. "When you interviewed me, you promised me that I would go to work under you. Now you are saying that I am going to work under someone else and I also wanted to work under you. Now tell me if you have told me this matter already, I prefer another firm or opportunity," I said, while folding my hand on my chest.. His face showed me that he was feeling guilty for what he promised me. 'Oh...God for this job I fought with my brother also and what I am getting from it.' I thought. "When I interviewed you, I knew that you were special because your answers were damn good. That's why I don't want you to go to another firm," he said. "But sir..." whenever I tried to say something, he literally jumped in the middle of my talk. "Ms. Verma, I am really really sorry for what I promised in the interview. As you already heard, my friend Rishi has been fired by eight junior architects and his anger issue is also not helping. We really need a junior architect. That's why I lied. Please understand my situation. Please say yes. You will work under him. If something goes wrong and if he fired, you from your position, as you said you wanted to work with me, so I am also here. I'll hire you. Okay." He pleaded. I said nothing but look at him, when he did not get an answer from me. 'Actually, I want to work with him and this firm also, and that doesn't matter to me. If I work with him or in this firm. I will learn something valuable. So I am going to work in this firm under someone because I want to learn things.' I made the decision. "This time I am really promising you. Please help me." He joined his hands in front of me. I nodded my head in yes. "That means you are going to work under him." He asked, not believing if I really said yes to him. "Yes sir, I am going to work with him. After all, I want to learn something, so there is no denying it, but you keep remember the promise." I said and warned him. He nodded his head. "Let me introduce you to him. Then you can start your work." He said while going out, and I also followed him. to be continued...
