dhruv whispered in sriste's ear "thank you for coming in my life you're my lucky star" Sriste replied "I'm not worthy for your praising sir and I'm here to submit my resignation"
dhruv's eyes widened after listening to word resignation, he asked with hopeful tone "you're joking with me right?" sriste nodded her head as no while saying "I'm sorry sir, I'm saying truth, please accept my resignation"
dhruv shouted "I will never accept your resignation, remember I will never allow you to go away from this company" sriste shivered to his high pitch voice
dhruv understood what foolish thing he did, he held her hand and said "I'm extremely sorry sri, I can't get a professional worker like you, so I'm not letting you go, please try to understand me, I can raise your salary as much as you want, but don't leave"
sriste wiped her tears and replied "it's not because of salary sir" dhruv held her shoulders tightly while asking "then why you're that desperate to leave me? am I that unworthy to be as your boss? or are you ashamed to work under me"
sriste nodded her head as no and replied "my mom sobb wants me to return back sobb she doesn't want me to work anymore sobbb"
dhruv chuckled and hugged her tightly, for a second sriste's heart beat stopped, she felt goosebumps on her body, her cheeks flustered
sriste pushed him away while asking "is my pain a joke to you? here I'm talking that seriously how can you laugh like this?"
dhruv smiled at her cute gestures and replied "I'm extremely sorry, I thought there is something big reason behind your resignation, but you're a silly girl crying for a stupid reason and wants to resign for the job"
srinithi wiped her tears while saying "you don't know much about my mom, if she decides we should follow that's it, she is the commander in our home, even my dad follows whatever she says"
dhruv started laughing, he was unable to control his laugh, sriste's anger going out of control, she sighed while stomping her foot and about to leave
dhruv pulled her back while holding her wrist, she fallen on his hard chest, he can see the tears filled eyes, continously shuddering eyelids, shivering lips, he can feel her abnormal breathing, he playfully asked "am I making you that uncomfortable?"
her cheeks completely became pinkish, he smiled and said "don't worry, I will convince your mother" sriste's eyes glowed with happiness this brought the smile on his lips
she asked "how you will convince my mom?" dhruv casually replied "we can go and meet her" sriste's eyes widened in shock,
she gulped while thinking "what you're speaking Mr. Dhruv Raj Raizada, if you meet my mom then later you'll pack me in a cemetery, after knowing who I'm you'll not speak this caring and lovingly, before my mom dragging me from here, you'll only kick me out from here"
Dhruv pulled sriste's cheeks and asked "what your thinking?" sriste wiped the sweat on her forehead while replying "my mom don't meet strangers, she don't like meeting people that much, kind of introvert"
Dhruv said "fine, then call to her" sriste asked "why?" Dhruv said with a hard tone "Ms. Sriste do what I said" sriste nodded her head and took the phone, she hurriedly deleted the caller id photo and called her mom
Alekhya Royal answered the call and said "I'm waiting for you in airport, how long you're going to take to come?" Sriste didn't liked this kind of talking from her mom, she always loved her mom's gentleness, sriste replied "maa"
Alekhya said with a serious tone "I told you not to call me like that" sriste's eyes filled with tears, she was unable to control her pain, the voice in her throat strucked, dhruv took the mobile from sriste's hand and said "hello"
Alekhya became stunned after listening to dhruv's voice, she changed the voice and said "hello" Dhruv replied "I'm sorry for speaking in middle,
I'm dhruv raj raizada the boss of your daughter, actually I don't know why you wanted her to quit the job, according to me she is perfect to this job
if she resign I can't get a perfect secretary like her, I'm ready to raise her salary but please don't ask her to quit the job, it's my request"
tears from the eyes of alekhya were dripping down, she felt "dhruv if you know who I'm will you speak to me same like this only? if you know who is sri will you ask me to let her stay with you?" both sides deadly silence was occupied
dhruv cleared his throat, alekhya said "you can get more professional person she is still a kid only" dhruv replied "I don't think so mam, as far as I known she is very perfectionist coming to work, I think no one can replace her place"
alekhya smiled and felt in her heart "why can't you say that you're in love with her?" alekhya replied "fine can you give mobile to my daughter?"
dhruv gave mobile to sriste, she said "maa" alekhya replied "I'm giving you last chance, dare to repeat same mistake, that time you'll never see me remember, you can continue working, stop crying and don't create mess, I'm not dhruv to get melted"
sriste said "maa, I love you" alekhya replied "I love you too, don't break my trust" sriste hummed, alekhya hung the call, Dhruv asked "what happened?" sriste replied with joyful expression "mom agreed"
Dhruv smiled and asked "are you happy?" sriste nodded her head with a wide smile, Dhruv said "I felt your mom's voice is so familiar like I heard it many times, it made me to feel affectionate"
sriste replied "my mom's voice is so sweet, it is similar to a singer's voice so you might felt like that" dhruv hummed and asked "where is my treat" sriste questioned "for what sir?"
dhruv replied "I stopped you from going right" sriste said "you did that because you don't want to loose a good secretary, infact as I'm staying here you need to give me the treat" dhruv chuckled and replied "fine, I can't win against you, tell me what you want?"
sriste asked "can I meet your mom?" dhruv look strange, sriste bited her tongue and thought "ahhh what a stupid I'm how can I ask like this? what he'll think now?"
dhruv replied "be ready by tomorrow 9am I will pick you from your home" Sriste nodded her head obediently at the sametime with sadness as he didn't answered
dhruv ruffled sriste's hair while saying "not for the company, I will take you to my home to meet my mom" sriste gave a wide smile and asked while pulling dhruv's sleeves like a child "really" dhruv hummed, sriste felt so happy
meanwhile Alex came, sriste said "my friends might be waiting for me I will take leave for today" dhruv replied "go safe" sriste nodded her head and left from there
Mari, haya and srusthi are waiting for sriste, mari said "don't be sad let's resign" sriste replied "we are not going anywhere, dhruv convinced mom as expected mom agreed, tomorrow I'm going to meet dhruv's mom"
Mari replied "awww, how sweet, so one tension reduced" asher said "so now you don't need me anymore" sriste replied "no, we have the things to do still" haya asked "are you still suspicious on dhruv? do you want to hurt him still?"
sriste replied "from the beginning dhruv is not my target, but I'm highly suspicious on him, for now I have another goal, so let's wait untill we get the real culprit"
asher said "fine then, I will continue modeling here" sriste hugged him while replying "thank you so much" asher said "anything for you sweetie, but why do I feel that soon you're gonna come near me to say that you loves dhruv?"
sriste replied "that will never happen, you know its forbidden" asher chuckled and said "go and ask your Google, it will explain"
sriste shouted "youuu idiot" he ran away, four girls left to their home, sriste was feeling nervous continuously, after dinner she opened her laptop and typed regarding what Asher said
but she stopped and mumbled "what you're doing sri? are you crazy? you came here on a purpose think about it, don't think about this unnecessary things, you promised dad, don't forget that, you're going mad day by day" she shut her laptop and closed her eyes tightly to sleep, soon she drifted into sleep....
