"YOU? "
Vaidehi looked shocked looking at the man in front of her would be an understatement.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? " They said at the same time.
"ARE YOU STALKING ME? "They said it together again.
Vaidehi glared at the man in front of her and he returned her glare with equal vigor.
"Listen Mister, just stop following me!" Vaidehi said gritting her teeth in anger.
"Oh hello, it you who is following me, little stalker! "He eye narrow into slit.
"Listen–"
"No you listen, I know what kind of person you are!" Vaidehi said with confidence and glared at him.
"And what kind of person am I, little stalker?" He asked with a sarcastic smile.
"You are an arrogant Grinch, who lures innocent girl like me and then kidnap them and then torture them by starving them to death!" Vaidehi's eye narrow and a knowing look plastered on her face.
"You called me what?" He said gritting his teeth in anger.
Vaidehi let out a "You are an 'ARROGANT GRINCH'!"She said stressing the quoting the Arrogant Grinch part an inaudible gasp as she was pinned on the wall of elevator.
"You, little stalker needs a lesson from me now." He said me smile that that made Vaidehi gulped in fear.
"St-stop call-calling me t-that!"Vaidehi stuttered.
"Oh, miss little stalker is afraid? "He said mocking her.
Vaidehi gulped.
Stop him, this is not the right time to play fifty shades– before the brain could moke her more, her pushed him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He ask observing her face.
Vaidehi face flushed under his scrutinized gaze. It felt intimidating and intimate at the second time.Vaidehi was not someone who would give up this easily. She took a deep breath, square her shoulder and looked at Damien confidently.
"I don't think it important to tell you." She said and shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, really? And why is it so, miss little stalker?"He asked with a mocking smile.
"I don't find you important enough.But since, you're begging me so much. I will tell you." Vaidehi's mouth twisted up in a smirk looking and the arrogant ,hot stranger she met few days ago.His face held anger, his jaw clenched.
She lean in and whispered "I am the CEO of this fashion house."
"Are you angry Mr. Arrogant Grinch? Did I bruised your ego? "She mocked looking at him, her lips jutted out.
Instead of fear, anger or any other emotion she found his face held amusement listening to her. His smirked and leaned too close to her liking, "Really? "
She nodded frantically and took a step back in nervousness.
"Sure, miss little stalker." He looked at her one last time before elevator dinged.
"Hope and pray to God that you don't cross my path again." He voice held a tone of warning.
But Vaidehi being Vaidehi glared and him and made a face before walking walk.
Walking toward the receptionist of twenty secondth floor–Mrs. Wells.
A lady in her late fifties, dressed elegantly with a gentle smile on her face greeted Vaidehi as she walked and stood in front of her.
"Mrs. Wells? "Vaidehi ask with a smile.
"Yes, dear. How can I help you? " She replied with a gentle smile.
"Actually its my first day today, and Ashton sir told me me ask you about what I have to do." Vaidehi said toying with her hand bag.
"Oh,so you are Vaidehi Aggarwal?" She asked as her eyes twinkled with some underlying mischievousness.
"Yes, I am." She smile.
"Come with me dear. Ashton is waiting for you.He has something important to tell you."She said and asked Vaidehi to follow her.
On reaching Ashton's cabin she knocked and headed a faint come in.
"Oh, hello Vaidehi and Mrs. Wells. " Ashton greeted both of them with big smile.
"Hello, Ashton sir." Vaidehi greeted him back.
Ashton raised his eyebrow, "I really meant it when I said, I don't like to be called as sir. It makes me feel old."
Vaidehi said a sorry and smiled looking at him.
"Mrs. Wells can you check and give Vaidehi her schedule of what she has to do? " Ashton asked with a smile.
"Sure." Mrs. Well smiled one last time before walking out of the cabin.
"So, Vaidehi you already know that your are the PA of the great Damien Ryder?" Ashton asked with a smile.

Finally searching and finding Damien's cabin ,she stood before the door, did a short breathing exercises and gave her self a prep talk before knocking the door softly.
She heard a faint come in.
Vaidehi opened the door, her hands were sweaty in nervousness. Her hoping and hope that her boss will be a kind man with a gentle smile.
She entered and saw a man his back was facing her as her barked order on phone.
Voice felt kinda familiar but she ignore it and wait for him to turned around.
"Excuse me, sir? " Vaidehi called him softly.
"Oh, well, well what do we have here? Hello Miss Little Stalker."
Vaidehi's face paled seeing the person in front of her. She closed her eyes and opened it again. No, still the same. She rubbed her eye but still she saw the same man , sitting on his chair with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Fancy seeing you."
Vaidehi let out shriek and almost stomped her foot like a little kid.
'Oh, God, why me?!?' She though to herself.
