PART 5

Happy Reading!

Saanvi's POV:

Urghh my head hurts. No no not because of the drinks from last night, but because of my jerk of the boss. He was right when he said he will make me regret. Look at me now, sitting in between a pile of files.

When I reached office today, for starters he gave me work to go through all the files from previous projects.

Specifically, the projects from the last 2 decades in 4 hours. So here I am tada.

Urghh I hate this man to the core. If he thinks he can get on me then he is so wrong.

I am going to finish all this work and make him regret messing with me.

Kanha ji what did I do to get a boss like him? Like are you telling me that I escaped going to my parents just to work with this devil?????

Relax Saanvi relax. You can't let that jerk get on your nerves.

I shut off my mind and go through all the files and I use my laptop's mic to make notes. Afterall the features are to be used. But no one needs to know 🤫

By the time I finished my back hurt and my eyes are sleepy. I just want my bed now or else I will doze off here itself.

I keep all the files at their designated location, then take my laptop and go to print the documents. While the papers were printing, I talked with the peon who was cleaning the area. He is a little aged, maybe in his 60s. Kaka is really good and he even told me about the office. He even told me about which food is better and what is the must try. I liked talking with him.

After taking the prints I make my way towards Devils Den. I had to do breathing exercise so that I don't loose my calm in there. His secretary told me I can go inside, the jerk is free.

I knock on the door and when I hear a faint 'come in' I go inside. He looks up from his laptop then checks his watch. I smirk at his reaction.

"I told you I love challenges and I win every time didn't I?"

"I was being easy on you. Don't think too much of yourself" he glares and i glare back.

I keep the file with a thud on his desk "The documents you asked for sir" I stressed on the word sir, just to get on his nerves

"Hmm I see" he takes the file and opens it with a disinterested look. But as he reads his expression changes.

"Any comments Mr. Jerk I mean Mr. Verma" I give him a tight lipped smile and his jaw clenches.

He throws the file on the desk "My office is messy, clean it"

"I am not your servant"

"But I am your boss" we both glare each other.

An idea strikes my mind and I grin devilishly in my mind. I smile at him "Ok I will clean it"

I move around his chair taking a cloth, then take out his files and start dusting. I intentionally dust so hard that the dust reaches him and he coughs, but doesn't react.

I dust with more force. I wanted to get on his nerves but instead he is getting on my nerves. I look at him and frown. This jerk is wearing his earphones. I stomp my foot on the floor with force.

I clean the whole cabinet. His files were so disorganized. I don't understand why he pays his secretary. I see sticky notes on his desk. I move towards him and bend to take the sticky notes and this jerk moves it away.

His table is large and his hands are large as well. I glare at him but he isn't even looking at me, but I can see a tug at the corner of his lips. I move my arm further.

I am all the way bending on the table and this jerk is smiling. I move a little further but loose my balance. I close my eyes and wait for my ass to touch the floor. But I land on some soft and hard as in muscle-y. I open my eyes slowly to see I am in the arms of my boss.

Not exact in his arms but yeah he is holding me up and I am sitting on his lap. I blink my eyes several times. His eyes are hard and I can read them. They scream - 'always clumsy'.

"It's your fault" he gives me a boring look.

"You are clumsy that's the fault Miss. Falling" my jaw clenched.

I take the sticky notes from his hand push him and get up glaring at him. I turn around and put the labels on the folders, and keep them in an organized way.

Then I move towards the coffee table and arrange it properly. Near the side table there was a plant so I put it on the centre of the coffee table.

I moved the plants around and set them in a nice way. I look around and I smile in a satisfied way. Now the only thing left is his mahogany table which is a mess. This man himself is a mess.

"I need to clean this" he looks up with a raised brow then push his chair backwards. I move forward and set the table.

"Done. What's my other task sir" i give him a provoking look. His gaze sharpens but there is a hint of appreciation in his gaze as he looks around. But this jerk will never in his life admit it, that I am sure of.

"The peon cleans the room better" I scoff and roll my eyes.

"If you're done with this childish behavior of yours, can I do some real work now. Something that includes me sitting in front of the computer and running a code or something?"

"The manager will inform you the task tomorrow. The office hours are over. Now leave" he dismisses me with a cold look. The audacity of this man. I check my watch and it says 7 in the evening.

I reciprocate his look and move towards my cubical to collect my bag. Oh god my limbs are sore. I need a warm shower to relax my muscles. The weather outside sucks but a warm bath is much needed right now. I punch my card and then leave the office.

Across the street I see a stall of tea coffee and snacks. I don't want to trigger my anxiety so I order a strong ginger tea. The first sip feels heavenly making me smile. I don't drink tea much, but this one is way too good. I can drink this one on daily basis.

Now that I feel a little better, I decide to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits. I am too tired to go to the bus stop or the station, so I book a cab. The cost is 500 but I can give money but I can't move my body more, I just want my bed. I will not eat anything from outside this month, to compensate the money.

I just hope from tomorrow I get to do some actual work or I will go crazy. Coding is my escape since I guess when I was 12-13. I urged to get enrolled in this class and I was mesmerized. My fingers worked on their own when I am typing. It became my safe heaven.

Ohh i so missed doing it today's. I don't have any problem in doing other work, especially cleaning. Firstly I was cleaning to irritate him, but I got so indulged in it that I fixed it well. I like to keep things clean because earlier I was a mess. My life was a bigger mess. I changed myself to a level that I don't recognize my older self.

The changes came with many problems as well. I had to adapt to new habits, change the bad habits and many more. Changing your personality is a big thing, but I had to do it for my own self and it is all worth at the end.

Now my goal is clear, I want to live my life for myself. I can't let others decide for me, not now. I am an adult and mature enough to make my own choices. Be it family, friends or the jerk of the boss.
