Diya's POV
When I entered the cafeteria, the aroma of food was pulling me towards it. My stomach started to growl. But the sight in front me took me off guard.
PEOPLE!!!! Yup, the typical introvert thing.
Exactly. There were a lot of staffs who were hanging around with their colleague at the cafeteria. Suddenly, I regretted coming here.
First, I am allergic to people, sadly there is no vaccination available for it.
Second, I was missing my buddies terribly, after seeing the staffs enjoying their lunch with their friend.
No big deal Diya. Just go get your food. Then, you can have lunch at your cabin. Yeah!
-------------------------------------------------------
After 15 minutes of battling between choosing pizza and burger, I settled for the burger.
While passing by the cafeteria, I heard two girls talking about Mr Jerk. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but as you know I am a curious kid. Anyways there is no harm doing so anyways.
" Oh ho!, C'mon Kate I know my Rahul, he is head over heels in love with me," told a brunette while twirling a strand of her hair with her finger.
" Snap out of your dream world Meena, have you not noticed the way he looks at me. Hhhmmmmm...I can lose myself in those brown orbs" said the blonde girl dreamingly who was sitting opposite the brunette while resting her chin on her fisted palm.
" Seriously Kate! He gives the same look to every woman in our office. You might worth a one night stand but I will be there for him forever. So get over it "
Are this girls freaking serious! OMG, now I immediately need holy water.
" Back off Meena. HE IS MINE!. And talking about one night stand, believe me, I am way better than you" said the blonde while smirking.
Remember the holy water that I mentioned earlier, forget about it. PLEASE BRING ME THE WHOLE CHURCH! These girls are insane.
So I guess its the brunette VS the blonde over that Jerk. Wait.....I think I have seen something similar to this before. Hmmmmm........YEAH!!! Now I remember. Its "JOHN CENA VS BROKE LESNAR FOR THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TITTLE."
The only difference was this Mr Jerk is nowhere near the WWE title.
I facepalmed myself thinking about the pathetic fight between those girls. Why don't these girls realise that he is not worth it? I just sighed thinking about them. But one thing was for sure, he was definitely a Jerk and he pretty much lives the life of a casanova. That's probably what I figured out from the girls' conversation.
God.....what have I dragged myself into. I can't believe I am working under a womanizer. Me and my fate. *facepalm* Why the hell does it always has to be me? I just don't wanna get myself into any trouble.
The trouble that I mean here is not about me falling in his trap.
Hell no!
What I meant was I don't want to deal with the cops for breaking Mr Jerk's jaw. You know what I mean I don't wanna waste my martial art skills. I had an evil smirk while thinking about it.

After completing my tempting lunch, I resumed my work given by Mr oh-look-how-hot-I-am. I glanced at my wristwatch and it was almost 3.00 p.m.
This work is taking forever. I groaned but still continued my work anyway. This time I didn't take my friends help. You know what, I don't wanna cheat. Well, the previous one wasn't cheating anyway. I was helpless. I didn't want to bow in front of him. NEVER!!!
______________________________________________________
Finally, after working my a*s off I completed my work.
Phew....finally is done.
After making a mental dance, I gathered all my files and headed to his cabin. It was already 5.00 p.m. I need to move fast. I have promised Khushi to meet her. I don't want to disappoint her. I reached his door and before going in I took a deep breath.
" Sir, I have completed all the work you mailed me. You can have a look. " I said and handed him the file.
This time he wasn't surprised, it seemed like he was expecting it.
" You can sit until I go through your work," he said and gestured me to take a seat opposite him.
" Its ok sir. I prefer standing" I said. I don't want to waste my time. Its already getting late. I started getting restless looking at the time while he was taking his own sweet time going through his laptop, cross-checking my work.
" As you wish," he said while smirking.
His smirk means nothing good is going to take place. Forget about good, probably something BAD.
Stop overthinking Diya!
" I am happy with your work Diya. I am satisfied with it," he said smiling politely.
That's weird.
" Then, I will take a leave, sir," I said and hurried for the doorknob. Suddenly he said, " Ms Sharma, where do you think you are going?"
" Uh? Excuse me?" I said giving him a confused look.
" Diya I only said that I am satisfied with your work. I never told that you work here is done " he said in a duh tone.
What the heck!
" Sir I have completed all the work, I didn't miss any mail that you sent me," I said in a matter of fact tone.
" But Diya the most important task among all you did is still untouched. Here, if you don't, believe me, you can take a look at my laptop " he said while showing me his laptop.
This is ridiculous! I have double-checked and cross-checked my work with the mails that he sent me, then how is this even possible.
I gave him a questioning look. " Diya, I think I have forgotten to send you this mail while you were asking me about your early leave today. I got distracted by your request and eventually I forgot about the mail that I was about to send you," he said innocently.
IS HE FOR REAL! I knew nothing good came from his smirk. JERK! I know he is doing this purposely. But I need to calm down and handle this like a civilized person.
" Sir but it's not my fault that you didn't send me the mail " I tried to defend myself. " But I got distracted by your request. So, it's technically your fault " he said giving a puppy face.
Oh, now he is blaming me. GREAT!
" Sir but I am already running late. Can I continue it tomorrow?"
I really hate myself for requesting him but I don't have a choice. I would have not requested if it was about me but it's for Khushi. My friends are my priority.
" I don't mind you continuing the work tomorrow Diya but the problem is I need this particular file tomorrow. If it was about any of the work that you have already completed, I would have gladly let you continue your work tomorrow but this file is very essential. Trust me, I surely would have let you continue tomorrow even though you promised me that you won't step outside my company until you settle all the given work " he said the last part in a mocking tone.
I fisted my palm and my knuckles turned white. He is taking revenge in such a silly way. My face was completely red when he finished talking. It wasn't because of blush or embarrassment. NO!
It was because of pure hatred toward MR RAHUL SINGH RANAWAT.
