Shaurya's pov
It's been 12 days since Ms Arnika is working here.
These days I have never seen her talking with one except me and Ayaan. She is perfect in her work and most importantly she is very much hardworking and organized. One of her best traits is that she can catch and learn new things very fast.
Let's not talk about her handwriting…...it's utterly beautiful.
She just comes in office ,does her work quietly, eats her lunch alone ( if me or Ayaan don't join her somedays) and finishes her work and goes back to her home.
Not only in her work ,but also in making coffee she is perfect. I really didn't have such nice coffee ever. Honestly, I got addicted to her coffee.
One thing which I noticed is that she doesn't smile or laugh except the formal smiles.
She is full of mystery and puzzle. But she is nice.
Arnika's pov
I got ready early in the morning and after having breakfast I left for my office.
I got in a bus and luckily I got a seat.
It's been 12 days since I am working in the company. The atmosphere is nice and safe. I never felt unsafe there...in front of my boss as well. I am comfortable while working with him.
I heard that he is very flirty and all. But never I have seen him flirting with his employees.I have seen the ways the girls in our office look at him...they are drooling, lusting after him. It is obvious as he is handsome.
At first I thought maybe he would be an arrogant ass and cold .
But my perceptions started to change day by day. He patiently made me understand the works, the errors which I have done or something which was difficult for me to understand or do.
He never makes me do overwork or unnecessary things.If I make a mistake, he politely makes me understand that.I have heard before how Bosses make their PAs work as if she is his maid . But Mr Shaurya never did that to me.
In fact he eats his lunch in the canteen on the days he doesn't bring his lunch and eats with me ,though we don't talk while having lunch.He is a chilled out boss but focused and perfect in his work at the same time.
All in one ,he is a nice person but has some anger issues although I haven't been a victim of his anger till now. In fact Ayaan is also nice and helpful.
I know we can't judge people in just some days but they are genuine guys which I can feel and understand.
At around 9 am I reached my office . Well, I am late today.
I ran towards the lift and got in.
Entering my floor ,I stood in front of Boss's cabin and knocked. I looked at my watch to see it's 9:05 am.
I heard "come in" and entered preparing myself to face his wrath.
"I am Sorry Sir. I am late today." I said bowing my head down.
Next thing I heard made me shocked.
"It's okay..it happens. You always come on time so your being this little late can be neglected as I know you are punctual." He said with a smile.
I smiled in relief.
"Can I get a coffee ,please?" He asked .
"Sure Sir. " I said and ran to make coffee for him.
I gave his coffee and went to my cabin.
I took his schedule and went to his cabin again.
"Sir ,here is your schedule for today. Today you have meetings with the Vermas. " I said ,giving him the schedule.
"Okay...Thank you. Here are mails which you have to type … and these are the files just check it and give it to me." He said handing me the files.
"Anything else Sir?" I asked politely.
"No, you may leave now ." He said and I left.
I went to my cabin and started working.
I completed my one file and typed the mails and relaxed on the chair. I looked at the watch to see it was already lunch time.
I went towards the canteen and ordered my food . I waited to collect my order.
"Hello.." I looked at my back to see Dipali was standing there.
"Hi," I replied .
I took my order and started to walk towards the corner seat.
"Will you mind if I join you?" Dipali asked .
I just can't say no on her face so I nodded.
"Can I ask you something?" She asked .
"Yes," I said.
"Why don't you talk to anyone? I mean you can be our friend. Just because you are PA of our handsome boss doesn't mean that you have to show us your attitude. " Dipali commented.
I knew that was coming as I have heard them talking behind my back about my attitude problem which I don't have.
"Well, I want to do friendship or not, it isn't anyone's concern. If you guys think that that's the reason then let it be. I am not concerned about what people say about me. I am doing what I should do. Now please excuse me." I said and left from there.
I clearly saw her face red in anger.
I completed my lunch and went towards the conference room.
I prepared it for the meetings and waited for everyone to come .
After some time everyone started to come. Mr Shaurya's father Mr Shekhar Singh was also present there.
The meeting started.
I pointed down the important notes.
In the joint project The Vermas were adamant to invest less amount than us but they were demanding the money of profit amount as equal as us.
They only wanted to taste success but didn't want to take risk
...They wanted to safeguard themselves.Everyone sat silently.
Maybe Mr Shaurya has understood that I wanted to say something.
He asked ,"Do you want to say something Ms Arnika?"
"Yes Sir." I said. He gestured me to say.
"Are you sure Mr Verma that you will not change your decision?" I asked.
"Yes…" he said.
"Okay,then give us the reason why we should invest more than you?" I asked.
They were tongue tied.
"If you really want to earn money without taking any risk then I am sorry to say but you shouldn't have brought up the topic of the deal. Remember one thing you almost begged Mr Shaurya for this Deal.
If you are adamant to do it then as per as the rule we can remove your name from the project as your invested amount is as equal as a pinch of salt. So please think wisely." I said .I really said boldly and now I am sure I am going to hear an earful from my boss.
"We will think about the deal and let you know our decision. " Mr Verma said and left with his companions.
As soon as they left ,I said ,"Sorry Sir, I shouldn't have done it."
Mr Shaurya said ,"No no...you did the correct thing. They already wanted to go with their plan which has loopholes and they were very adamant about it. It was harmful for the customers as well. So you didn't do anything wrong."
His Father said ,"I agree….and we are going to cancel the deal as well.
You have potential ,girl. Keep going like this. " He smiled and left.I looked towards Mr Shaurya.
"You were awesome today…. Don't fear to express yourself during any meeting or anything...just take the clue and say. " he said.
I smiled in relief and nodded.
The day went unexpectedly well.
Here you go.
How's the chapter?
Do you guys liked Arnika's this side?
Stay safe and healthy.
Keep reading.Shaurya's povI was laying down on my bed and started to think about the day.The most important part of the day is Ms Arnika.Everyday she surprises me in a different manner but Today I saw a different Arnika altogether -- A strong one who can't be tamed and defeated so easily.I saw and heard what happened during the lunch hour….how one of our employees, I don't remember her name tried to degrade her.But Ms Arnika was just like fire ..the way she said her point to her made that girl red in anger.I know what I have to do about it as it's my duty to protect my employees in every way possible.And she behaved like this with the boss's PA so it's needed to be taken care of.The next thing which was unforgettable was the way she dealt with Mr Verma...the man who was adamant for the joint venture but he wanted everything

So do onething, just marry as soon as possible.I laughed out loud hearing
Shaurya's povAt around 1:30pm I came back home."Did you really take this much time for shopping?" Papa asked sitting beside me on the couch."No Papa." I said .Then I said what happened and how I met an orphan girl and took her to the Orphanage which is sponsored by Papa and Dharam Uncle."You did a good thing Champ. Your mom is very happy ,if she was alive she would have hugged you tight ." Papa said with a sadness in his eyes.I hugged him and closed my eyes."Let me take a bath ,then we will have our lunch." I said breaking the hug and went towards my room.I went inside and kept the flower which I bought on the way back home ,kept on the table and went to take shower.After taking shower and dressed in my casual T-shirt and
Arnika's povI woke up in the morning . As it is Monday so I have to rush.I made my breakfast and ate it.Taking shower,I dressed for the dayThen I went away after locking my apartment.I took a bus and reached my office .I went inside my cabin and sat down. It was 9 am sharp.I was reading some journal on my laptop when my phone rang.I looked at the caller id to see Boss calling me and picked up the call .Arnika : Hello Sir, Good morning.Shaurya: Good morning. Actually Ms Arnika, I will be a little late today.Can you do me a favour?Arnika : Sure Sir.Shaurya : Please go to my cabin..there will be a red file on the table. It will be nee
Arnika's povI came inside my room and shut the door.I ran my hand through my hair.I am confused about what to do. The thing Mr Shaurya told me two days ago is something that isn't digestible for me.FlashbackI went to my office and as usual I did all my duties which I was told to do.After lunch ,I went to his cabin and typed the mail as he dictated me."Anything else?" I asked."No..no..Thank you." He said.I nodded and was about to leave his cabin
 Shaurya's pov "What ?" Saying that I stood up. Everyone looked at me tensed. "Where are you now?" I asked the man. He told me the address which means he is 10minutes away from my house. "Okay do one thing, " and I told him the direction of my house. "Yes, bring her here. I will pick her up." I hung up the phone . "What happened Shaurya?" Papa asked. "Papa, Arnika was going to the hospital. Suddenly she collapsed in the auto and now the auto is near our house. The hospital is still far So I told the driver to bring her here." I said. "That's good...now go and receive her." Papa said. Me and Dhruv went outside and waited. In the meantime I called our family doctor. After 5 minutes he came wit
 Shaurya's pov We got in my car and started to drive towards her house. I was driving when I saw Dhruti and Dhruv were giving me looks. "Ok ok ,ask the things you want." I said finally. "In detail now, " Dhruti said. I told them how I wanted her to be my friend,how she denied me and how I replied. "Don't worry ,she will understand . Give her sometime." Dhruti said. I nodded. After 20 minutes, we reached there.We stood in front of her flat and Dhruti tried to unlock it. "Who are you?" Suddenly we heard a female voice. We turned to see a middle aged woman asking us from her door. "We are her friends. " I replied."Oh she has her friends also? I didn't know . " she said smiling.
Arnika's pov2 weeks have passed since the incident.In these 2 weeks many things have changed. The most important thing which has changed is the equation between me and Mr Shaurya.After that incident he is taking care of me by checking on me if I am having enough food or not, if I am skipping my food or not etc. In fact he calls me daily after I reach my home to check on if I reached my home safely or not.At first he wanted to pick up and drop me at my home while going to the office and coming back.I strictly denied making him irritated. Why will I take help from him when I am capable enough to do that!!!In fact he sent a man to refill my grocery store as last week was hectic and I couldn't buy the groceries for the 9 to 9 duty schedule. He understood that
