Avery's POV
Betrayal...
A word, easy to whisper but difficult to process. Hidden with a burden of guilt, regret and anger.
Whether it is given by your family, friend, lover or a stranger, its pain will hurt you to the core.
The only difference will be the intensity of the pain.
Currently, I am also feeling the same.
No... No.. Hold on your horses. It's not like my partner has cheated on me.
Nah... I am an innocent baby.
It's just that my destiny has betrayed me today.
Working on one of the project files, cursing my fate when I decided to work under Mr. Arrogant, I snapped out of my thoughts due to the voice of my extra sweet boss.
" I had warned you earlier that this is gonna be so tough for you. But no.. you didn't take me seriously so now bear it. " He mocked me sitting on his king size chair.
" You are giving me the same work since past five days and that too without even informing me what mistake I have done in this file.
If you won't tell me then how will I correct it. "
I snapped back showing the pen towards him with which I was fiddling before.
" Sometimes I feel like you are doing my ragging. "
He smirked snatching the file from my hands.
" If I make you pregnant then what will you do? " He asked me giving that same devilish smirk while I gasped.
" Wh.. What.. I mean how? No I mean what are you saying? " I murmered looking here and there.
" Tell me Avery. " He whispered in his husky voice tucking my hair strand behind my ear.
I cupped his cheeks while rubbing them with my thumb pad.
" Then I... I will deliver it to your house. " I giggled and kissed him on his cheeks.
His eyes widened in shock as he shoved his body away from me.
" Are you trying to flirt with me Sir? If you are, then I am already in. "
I chuckled.
" I always read in novels about arrogant boss and innocent secretary's romantic relationship. At first, the boss tortures her secretary by giving her thousands of work.
Then he gets attracted to her beauty but when she avoids him then he takes the advantage of her compulsion by being bossy around her.
And in all this chaos both of them falls into love with each other.
How cool ? "
I giggled clapping my hands as he gave me a stern look.
" Come out of your dream land Ms. Jones as this is not a fairy tale and I am surely no prince charming.
This is a real world.
Coming back to your question I was not flirting with you. I was just trying to explain you something.
But the thing is you always give importance to irrelevant things and ignore the important ones.
I daily order you to check the error in that file but you always ignore the same mistake."
He told me fiddling with paper weight. I glanced back at the file to see any error but didn't get any.
" You didn't notice the wrong spelling of my name. It's misspelled as Kaleb in place of Caleb but you failed to check that. " He whispered giving me his famous smirk which I so wanted to rip off.
" What the hell? You made me work on the same thing again and again just for a simple spelling mistake of your name. " I yelled on him standing up on my place.
" Don't shout because I can do the same with three times more intensity than yours.
Let me remind you once again I am the boss here and you are a mere assistant so mind your tongue before speaking. "
He warned me with a stern expression on his face.
" Sorry Sir... It's just that this silly reason of yours irritated me a lot that's why I reacted that way but no worries you will get habitual to it. "
I smiled sheepishly while he gave me a deadly glare.
" By the way you look damn hot when you are angry. " I chuckled placing my palm over my mouth.
" Now are you trying to flirt with me Ms. Jones because if that's the case then you should go somewhere else rather than wasting your time here because I am already deeply and madly in love with someone else. "
He stated in a calm tone.
He loves someone else. Who?
" Who is that girl? " I asked him looking straight into his eyes.
" Am I your boyfriend who will explain you everything about my personal life? " He said showing me his usual attitude.
" Now no more personal questions and get back to the work. Ask DD to make preparations for my next meeting with Alberto Constructions."
He ordered grabbing his laptop from the side of the table.
" But you can tell me I won't share it with anyone. Where is she now? Are you still dating her? "
His expressions suddenly changed and his eyes become blood shot red making me gulp in fear.
" I... I think I should inform DD Sir. "
I stuttered and ran back to DD Sir saving my life before he could say anything.
Thank god, otherwise he would have killed me today.
After two hours
Avery's POV
Everyone is so mean..
What does he think of himself?
Huh.. I will never talk to him again.
You must be thinking have I gone mad?
No.. I am not. But I will, if I work with him for one more day.
Do you know what he did with me in conference room? Let me tell you.
Before one hour
" Alberto Uncle, Why are you taking so much time to read the contract papers? " I asked Mr. Alberto, MD of Alberto Constructions.
Caleb Sir glared at me sitting on his chair while giving an apologetic smile to Mr. Alberto.
" Shut up " He murmured gritting his teeth
" Girl, I am just 55 and you are calling me an uncle. Don't you think I am still young to be called as your uncle? Mr. Alberto asked me narrowing his eyes.
" But my Dadda also is of your age and he is my father. So, technically I can call you Uncle. " I asked him raising my brows as I put my hands on my waist.
" I apologise to you on her behalf Sir. Actually she does not have any filter in her mouth. Please pardon her." Caleb Sir said brushing his finger tips on his forehead.
" Why are you saying Sorry? I have not cursed him that you are apologising. Right Uncle? " I replied him as a pout adorned my face.
" But I am still young to be called as an Uncle. I am just 55." Mr. Singhania argued back giving me a puppy look.
Our cute bickering continued for ten more minutes as both us were too adamant to prove each other's point and Caleb Sir stood there silently with his mouth open as he glanced both of us moving his head towards my and Mr. Alberto's side one after another.
" No Uncle, Look you are 55 and I am just 22 so as per our age gap I can call you Uncle. Moreover- " Before I could say anything further Caleb Sir interrupted me.
" Leave Ms. Jones " He whisper yelled giving me a stern look.
" But- " He again interrupted me.
" Close the door before leaving. " He shouted as I walked outside closing the door with a loud bang.
Present Time
Now tell me what is my fault in all this?
Stupid People!
I need some mental peace so I picked up my phone and sent a message to Kabir.
" Come at sharp 6 pm to pick me up. Otherwise be ready to be served as a dead meat tonight. "
