Riya's POV
Seriously man! Here I was thinking bout him and he was confronting me. What the fuck he wanted to know from me. That shit really triggered my mind. I was seriously pissed but still ended up answering his curiosity. I was shooting him deadly looks but he was doing nothing but glaring back at me authoritatively. He was being concerned about me that soften my gaze. I looked down apologetically for being rude. And he was smirking at me while having his coffee, god, that damn smirk I really want to punch that sexy smirk of his face. He was really being the pain in ass now. I really wanna know what he was thinking of me. But more than that I want to make sure we are not going in the wrong way. Later the day passed, and I choose to ignore him. He tried to have a glimpse of me but, I'm bad ass, why would I let him have whatever he wants. Tomorrow morning was to be something different.
I got up bit early and wore my favorite atire. It was navy blue coat and pants and pearl white shirt. I pulled my hair into my favorite high ponytail with bouncy waves hanging around and little bit of natural makeup. My look was completed with 4 inch grayish matte blue platform pumps, my all time favorite. I looked in the mirror for the last time and left the apartment few minutes early. As soon as I reached my work building I headed straight for seeing the director. "May I come in?" I asked with knocking the glass door. "Yes please!" she permitted cheerfully. "Good morning director. How you've been?" I greeted her with my genuine smile. "Oh, everything was fine. And good morning to you too. You look so beautiful today." she greeted and complimented on me which I gladly accepted.
On my work floor, I was excited to see all the surprized faces. I wasn't able to control my wide smile. Soon the elevator blinked. Everyone looked towards us and at the center spot of the floor and she started announcing. "Listen I have an announcement for everyone and specially for team A. You see there was an occurrence of tragic incident few days earlier in our company that caused so many controversies in our company. We the board had to take few strict decisions about some important related to the incident as it compromised the safety within. And one of the decision was to call Miss Riya back to work. It is decided by the board she will back here again and Miss Riya, we're really sorry for whatever happened and we really regret that. Anyways we can't change the past but can make the future good, so please accept our apologies and come back. We really need your help here." with this everyone started cheering for me. They were so happy to see me again and my face was turned into crimson. Everyone wished me welcome and I was never this overwhelmed. "Not only this she is team A's new manager." director added and cheers increased for me. Everyone was hugging and cheering, not only my team but also the other employees were happy. It was so satisfying to see that I wasn't alone. Soon I started with my first day as the manager. I was at cloud nine already, but it wasn't that bad to be a manager. Of course I knew how to work cause I assisted my jerk boss and 75% of his work was done by me so it was no big deal. But why I'm thinking of him on this oh-so-good-day. I shrugged and started on with my first file.
Almost the lunch time arrived and I was like 'how the day passed is my time running this fast?' I was watching my wrist watch when Tim rushed towards my cabin. He almost broke the door while opening it. "Tim, you almost broke it. What's the matter?" I asked looking at his all-time-funky-face. "Nothing. Everyones waiting for lunch." he said with his smart ass smirk. Why do boys have to smirk that bad? "Waiting for me?" I asked back and he said nothing but escorted me out to the canteen everyone was waiting for me. They were all smiling with pride and joy. We all had our lunch with so much fun. When I came back to my cabin my phone blinked furiously from Will's calls and texts. In no time I called him back. "When will you seriously pick my calls on time without having me in anxiety?" before I could say something he barked furiously. "I really hate when someone disobeys me and you've crossed all limits." he added with more furry. I opened my mouth but closed again. "Are you gonna take forever to answer, I'm waiting. Please open your mouth." he was just about to explode. "Will you let me talk. I'm so sorry, I was down in canteen for lunch. All my colleagues invited me to join and before that I was too busy to answer anyone's calls so I'm really sorry. Now can you please calm down." I answered mockingly. And I know he wasn't calming down any sooner. "You had your lunch?" he asked in lot more concerned voice. "Hm. Just now. You?"
"Not yet but I will."
Okay I seriously had to get back to work. I'll call you back later. Bye." and without him answering I hunged up because I noticed someone was standing behind at the door. I turned around and was startled to see Tim smirking at me. "Someone has caught a boyfriend!" he said mockingly. And as usual I rolled my eyes at his statement. He knows I hate this topic but still teases me with that. "Are you serious Tim. Uh! Leave it. What's the matter?"
"Your asking me what's the matter when your the one who is late for the most important meeting." Oh shit! My meeting I forgot. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry. I'll be there in minute." and I hurried to grab my things and we both headed to the meeting room. It was to be a usual long day but more interesting than ever.
I returned home girning to find Will standing at the balcony with a pissed face. Damn! Why he has to be like this forever? I don't want my day to end like this so I tried to contain it casual conversation. "Hi! You here? Sometimes I really feel that you've been homeless and got nowhere to go so you come here." I tried to get him out but instead he closed the pace between us. He was standing right behind me and I was able to feel his serious gaze on me that send chills down my spine. "How was your day?" he asked in alot colder voice. "Good. Yours?" I asked back with the same coldness and turned around to face him. He sighed looking at my straight expressions and straighten his too. He looked more calmer than before. "Why did you hunged up imediately and did bothered to answer back? You really like to piss me off, don't ya?" he acused me. "Uh, seriously to tell, I won't bother myself to answer that. Cause its strictly personal and I don't share my personal things to anyon, so sorry." I bounced back with a smirk 'hey do you like smirks, then I'm good at it'. It felt like I was winning but he sighed and inched closer and stared in my eyes like he was searching for my soul. I shivered and found my smirk to be lost in deep abyss. Now he was smirking at me. 'God is this game is ever gonna end.' I thought to myself and suddenly I found his serious expressios piercing me. "Are you avoiding me?" suddenly out of blue he asked and of course deep down I was expecting him to ask it cause yes! I was avoiding him. He was stiring up my feelings and I'm not ready for more stirs in my life. "Of course not. I'm busy in my personal life and right now I'm making my things clear and I need to be away from distraction." but still answering him something that I wasn't gonna tell any sooner. Just after the realization I turned around and started to go away from him but he stopped me "am I distraction to you?" he asked me. "Did I said that? Of course you've been disturbing me since forever and as you know I've been promoted, so I have to concentrate more in my career so I can't afford any distractions right now or near future so. I guess you got it?" I answered him straight away. "Fine, you got me. But if you need, I'm just a door away so you know what to do?" he sounded hurt while saying it and left my sight. Did I hurt him? No, how's that supposed to be. We had nothing more than friend, hadn't we? Or he had something? Oh my gosh Riya you've really good at over thinking, just shut up. With this I shut that topic down and lived my new beginning.
