Reason to Love

18. New environment

Aadhira P.O.V.

I released a huge breath I was holding, once the CEO headed out of the room.I am anger on myself for being hell nervous during the meeting.Anything didn't happen as I was expecting,like he will fire in that instant or may insult me or scold me for our previous encounter though he is at fault.After knowing about him through magazine, I really didn't want to join his company,not that I am afraid of him,it is just didn't like his attitude on that day and I don't want to deal with people with those attitude,it always irritates me.

But all my wishes vanished into thin air when I received a call from the company confirming my job with good package of salary.I was happy that I got an opportunity to fulfill my parents dreams and a platform to expose my talents.But I was sad that I have to deal with that man again.If I was rejected I would have not worried this much.But being selected makes me think about my ability and my career.Now, when I am offered I don't want to lose it because of my foolishness. Somehow it sounds silly to me to think that I am rejecting my offer due to some attitude of my soon to be boss.

So, now I am out of the conference room following Mr.Prem sir,when I was about to step into the elevator a tap on my shoulder made to halt in my track and I turned around only to find my another boss Mr.Yadav Mishra standing with a grin.

A smile formed on my lips on its own seeing him after almost a week.

"How are you doing at your new job?"he asked with a concern.

"I am all good till now"a gave him my genuine answer.

"But you seemed to be nervous during meeting and I don't why but I felt like you were nervous because of my brother." his confession made me surprise.Did he notice that?well I should say my friend is a good observer when it comes to business.

"It's nothing lik...."I was cut off by his ringing phone.

"Ok Aadhi ! I have to go.There are lot to discuss,lets meet at evening.It is not the right place and time to catch up."He turned to leave but suddenly he stopped and turned back again.

"You have to tell me what made my friend to be that much nervous during meeting"he walked away after staying that.This is what happens when a truly concerned best friend is near us.They notice everything and we cannot escape from them when they are stubborn to know the truth.I don't blame them,this actionn shows their care and concern for us.I have to tell him the encounter with his brother.I sighed and continued my day.

As I joined just two days before I didn't get a chance to meet my new colleagues.I had already met all the old employees of our team. Mr.Prem sir that is chief/Head of my department seems to be stiff and strict but I can feel little fatherly vibe around him when it is not related to work.And our team leader,Engineer Shaurya is friendly but other colleagues told me that he is straight forward person,he doesn't like to beat around the bush,he expects direct and correct answer for his questions.

Neha is also an Engineer and she is flexible and to my surprise we clicked immediately as few of our likes and choices are similar.Today I met my other colleagues which include other new designers and Engineers.

My new colleagues are Vidhya, and Jahir who are new designers like me and Daniel,Vikas,Elisa,Aarav and venkat are new Engineers in our team.

As usual we girls got well mingled with each other and even boys especially we freshers as we are all on same boat.I think this friendly nature will make our working environment easier.

Now it is evening and our time to bid our byes to each other.And as promised my friend texted me that he is waiting for me outside the cafe near our office.I don't want to hide it from my friend, I am going to tell him about my encounter with his brother.I headed towards the cafe directly after taking my bike with me.
