chapter 9

Everyone were gathered into confrence hall. The news spread into the company. Everyone was excited to be the part of Jeevan group. They were waiting for Mr Khurana the CEO of the Jeevan group.

Mr Khurana was entered with his secretary Mr Navin Malik. He wanted to see only one person but he knew it's hard to find her. He was excited what would be her reaction. He knew he would miss it.

When Minal saw Mr Khurana. She forgot to take breath. How could it be possible? She got into senses when she heard Lilly voice from her behind, "he is so handsome, Mam. I heard he is bachelor."

She glared her and looked her surroundings. Every women was looking him with wondering. She got jealous but she didn't say anything.

Mr Khurana went on stage and turned towards employees, "hello everyone. I am Siddarth Khurana, the CEO of Jeevan group. Now, This company is under the Jeevan group. I need to your support. Thank you."

Everyone clapped but Minal was stunned how to handle this information.

Mr Tripathi was introducing every department manager to Mr Khurana. Minal knew there is no way to escape this situation that's why she took a deep breath and got confident. Mr Tripathi introduced Minal to him, "Mr khurana. She is Miss minal, manager of HR department. When he looked at her, he got shocked. He never thought his little girlfriend is manager of HR department. He wanted to give her surprised but he was also surprised.

Minal smiled and raised her hand towards him, "Mr Khurana, it's nice to  meet you."

He came into sense and smiled, "Same here, Miss Minal." They shook hands with each other. He looked her. She was looking beautiful in official dress. He wanted to take her into his arms and kiss her but he controlled himself.

In his cabin, he was walking here and there. He looked the profile data file which was infront of him and searched her. Her profile was impressive. It means she is beauty with brain. He thought she was his silly girl but she was much more.

Payal and Minal went to washroom together for talking. When they looked there is noone there, Payal whispered, "Minal, what I saw, is it true? I have goosebumps on my skin. Do you already know about it?"

Minal sighed, " if I knew, I already told you. I am also surprised. How can he be CEO of Jeevan group?"

Payal whispered, "I suggested you to ask him who is he? I knew he is rich. But I don't know he is richest. Now, what will you do? Do you tell everyone in the company about your relationship?"

Minal scolded her, "Are you crazy? I don't know why he come here. Let me  talk to him then I will decide."

She nodded and said with excitement, "by the way, I am glad that I spend some time with him. When Ramesh will get to know Sid's real identity, he will get mad."

Minal shook her head at her friend but didn't say anything.

She came into her cabin and got busy into her work. He already affected on her but she didn't want to affect her work because of her personal issue.

After few minutes, Lilly told her, "Mr Khurana is calling you in his cabin. He has some issues what you provide him file."

She nodded and Lilly left. She was not ready to face him but she knew she had to. That's why she stood and took steps towards his cabin. Navin was outside his boss cabin. He glared at her but in his response, Minal glared him too. She said with confident, "Mr Khurana asked for me?"

He nodded, told her to wait and dialled his number, "Sir, Miss Minal is here."

"Ok sir" and put the reciver. He wanted her to wait more but he could not go against his boss. He knew he is short temper. If he got angry, it will hard to handle him. He said to Minal, "you can go inside." She nodded and knocked his door lightly.

She entered his cabin and asked with offical tone, "Sir, you have some issues." 

His face was other side to her that's why he smiled to hear her voice but controlled himself, "Yeah... That's why I called you."

"What's the problem?" She asked in serious tone.

Now, it's hard for him to control himself that's why he turned towards her, came to near her and whispered into her ear, "how is the surprise?"

Minal looked at him confusion but when she understood. She blinked her eyes many times as she was trying to come back into reality.

Sid looked her and asked, "Minal, are you alright?"

She composed herself and asked, "it is your surprise." He nodded and sighed, "I want to give you surprise but I also surprised."

Minal asked directly, "why did you buy shares of this company?  I heard you never do anything without profit."

Sid made his face, "for you. I thought you do job on lower position that's why I will appoint you my secretary and we can spend time together. But you give me surprise that you are manager."

Minal chukcled, "You did it for me. Are you crazy? You can ask me what is my job profile. I will tell you. Why did you need to do it?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist, "forget it. We can spend time together now. It's important for me."

She giggled, "I didn't know you are such stupid."

He laughed and pecked her lips, "and I didn't know you are such intelligent."

They sat on couch together. Minal said, "don't you think we should do our work? It's office hour. We should not waste our time."

Sid shook his head with no, "I did it for spending time with you so let me earn some profit."

Minal said, "if we spend time together, everyone will be suspect on us."

Sid looked at her, " Then we will tell everyone about our relationship."

Minal looked at him with shocked, "No, everyone suspected that why did you do it. When Mr Tripathi got to know, he will angry on me. And I don't want it. He is nice since I started to job."

Sid accepted, "Fine... but you will spend your free time with me. I don't know anything."

She nodded with smile. As he was going to kiss him, there was knock on the door. That's why they sat professionally.

Navin entered into cabin and said, "Sir"

Sid glared him and warned, "I told you nobody will disturb us. What are you doing here?"

Navin did lower his head and said, "I am sorry sir. But there is a important video conference in fifteen minutes. You have to attend it."

Sid told him with serious tone, "Cancel it. And reschedule for another day."

He suggested, "but sir, it's so important. And other party has no time that's why..."

Sid scolded him, "do I need to repeat?"

Minal interpreted, "but sir, if it is important, I think you should attend it. I will discuss this matter to you later."

Sid gave her questions look and she nodded with confident. Sid turned to Navin, "Fine... Do the arrangements."

Navin nodded and left.

Minal said him, "we can talk at home. And I have to do my work." He kissed on her forehead and nodded. 

Minal came out from cabin and looked at Navin. Navin looked at Minal and said, "Miss Minal, I have suggestion for you. He has already girlfriend." Minal smiled and left.

Navin knew his boss was a playboy but since last few months, he never asked him to book any hotel room. Navin was not allowed to go his boss house. But his servants kamla and shinu told him that his boss has girlfriend and they live together. He never met his girlfriend but once he talked her on phone some reason. She was sweet and nice by talking. And shinu told him his boss behaviour changed because of her. It means he loves her. But now when Miss Minal interpreted between his boss official matter and as he listened her. While nobody has dare to say anything into his official matter. There is something missing. He already didn't like Miss Minal.

Minal was thinking to getting revenge to Navin. If he scolded her for her mistake, she will accept willingly. But he scolded her in front of everyone without her mistake. She will not let him go easily. As Navin warned her, she understood Navin has misunderstanding. She had a plan to tease him and tell him he touched wrong girl.

In the evening, Minal told Sid what Navin did to her.

Sid thought for a second and said with calmly, "you want me to fire him. It's hard to find his substitute because he is working for me since many years. But don't worry I will handle it."

Minal got shocked but controlled herself quickly and chuckled, "Sid, do you think me heartless? I don't want you to fire him. I am not senseless. I want to tease him. That's it. I have a plan. But I need your help."

Sid looked at her and smiled, "what is plan?"

When Minal told him, he laughed and poked on her nose tip, "I don't know my girlfriend has evil mind."

She shrugged her shoulders and laughed. She was very excited for the following day.

The following day, she texted to Sid that he is busy or not. When she got replied, she smiled. She took a file and went towards his cabin. Outside his cabin, she saw Navin who looked at her with shocked. She gave him evil smile and entered the cabin without knock. Navin was shocked from her behaviour. From where did she get that dare? Doesn't she know about Mr khurana very well or something is not right? He investigated about her in the office. She is decent and hard working employee. He didn't find anything about her wrong. Then why was she trying to seduce his boss?

Minal was also surprised that Navin didn't stop her. As she entered into cabin, Sid looked at her and opened his arms to come him. She smiled and went into his arms. He wrapped his arms around him and said with softly, "how many times have I told you that you can come into my cabin without asking?"

She chuckled, "everytime." He ignored her comment and said with pleasure, "now I feeling relaxed."

She nodded because she was feeling same. She recalled something and looked at his face, "why didn't your secretary stop me?"

He held her tightly, "because I warn him. Don't bully you otherwise I won't let him go easily."

She looked at him disappointment and asked slowly, "Did you tell him about us?"

He shook his head with no, "how can I tell him when you deny me? I only warn him. He won't bully you any more."

She smiled wildly, "do you think I will let him bully me?"

He shook his head with no, "I am very well aware it's hard. And he has no dare. Now, forget about him and only concentrate on me."

She laughed, "don't you think it's time to plan. I come here because of plan."

He looked at her with shocked. He trust her but somehow he is jealous with his secretary. But he let go of that thought and nodded.

She smiled, "good remeber how to act on front of him."

He nodded and dialled his secretary number. He was feeling guilty for Navin but Navin bullied his girlfriend. How could he let him go easily?

When Navin entered the cabin, Sid was working while Minal was sitting on couch with relaxation.

Navin asked in official tone, "yes sir."

Sid ordered him without looking at him, "Miss Minal wants to drink coffee."

Navin glared her that she could do it himself. Why did his boss call for such a small work? But he didn't say anything and started to make coffee for her.

Minal give him wicked smile and looked at Sid and asked, "Sir, do you have girlfriend?"

Sid replied, "yeah... But you don't need to worry."

She smiled, "if anybody tells her about us, what will you do?"

He smiled, "nobody has dare to do it. If anybody did, he knows the consequences. So don't worry."

Navin was not fool. He knew she was asking for warning him. He wiped his sweats from his forehead.

She wanted to laugh but she controlled. Navin gave her coffee cup and she glared him.

Sid said to Navin, "now you can go. And don't disturb us."

Navin nodded and left. After leaving him, Minal couldn't her laugh and started to laugh. Sid was also laughing and came to her. He took a sip from her cup and said, "I don't know you are good in acting. Why are you wasting your time here?"

She held her stomach from her hands because it's hurt. She controlled herself but soon she started to laugh. Sid was amused for her reaction. She was looking really cute.  She asking him, "did you see his face?"

He nodded and took her into his arms. When she noticed his eyes, she said calmly, "Sid, we are in office."

But he didn't hear her and put his lips on her lips. She also melted into his simple kiss. But she composed herself and pushed him lightly. He gave her questions look. She smiled, "I have to go because I have a lot of pending work." And she stood up quickly and rushed towards door. She waved her hand in air and left. He shook his head at her and chuckled. She was really amazing.

When Minal told Payal about her prank. Payal also laughed. She knew Minal was prank master and after all, Payal was witness of some her pranks.

Minal denied kamla and shinu that they don't tell her name to Navin. She talked nicely to Navin at phone as Sid's girlfriend. Because she wanted to Navin would be Sid's girlfriend side and otherside, in office, minal tried to tease him. She never miss a single opportunity to tease him. Navin was pissed off. But he knew she has his boss's hand on her head that's why it's not good to go against her.
