Previously***
The next day Ava woke up early and went to the office as every other day. She was totally engrossed in meetings and work. She had almost forgotten about the yesterday's incident.
Ava was checking some files when she heard a knock. "Come in".
Her assistant Ria entered and said " Mam, Mr Kapoor is here "
.
NOW****"
".
Upon hearing his name, Ava's heart skipped a beat. The mere mention of Mr. Kapoor brought forth a rush of memories from the previous day. From the moment she had fainted in his presence to the almost intimate encounter they had shared, she had somehow managed to forget about him.
But now, an inexplicable nervousness washed over her. The thought of facing him after the events of yesterday stirred something deep within her. Never before had she experienced such unease in the presence of a man. There was something about him that she desperately wanted to avoid.
With a slight nod, Ava instructed Ria to allow Aditya to enter. After a few moments, a knock echoed through the room. Ava took a deep breath, attempting to calm her racing heart, and uttered the words, "Come in."
As the door swung open, a man dressed in a sleek black Armani suit stepped into her cabin, accompanied by his assistant. Aditya looked incredibly handsome in his attire, exuding an aura of confidence that could make even the most composed individual tremble. Gazing at him, Ava couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull towards him. She felt herself becoming lost in his presence, momentarily dazed by his charm. However, she quickly regained her composure, reminding herself to maintain a professional demeanor.
"Hello, Mr. Kapoor," she greeted, her voice laced with a hint of professionalism.
Ava couldn't quite understand why, but she sensed a dim in Aditya's eyes upon hearing her words. The assistant standing behind Aditya let out a sigh. Madam had no idea just how excited sir was to meet her. He had been practically glued to the mirror, checking his appearance over and over again. He must have asked him how he looked nearly a hundred times since they left the penthouse.
"Please have a seat," Ava offered, gesturing for them to sit. They proceeded to discuss the upcoming project.
After a lengthy discussion, it was almost lunchtime. Out of politeness, Ava asked Aditya if he would like to join her for lunch. She secretly hoped he would decline and leave, but to her surprise, he replied with a simple "Sure." Ava's face twitched slightly, but she composed herself and asked what they would like to eat.
"Whatever you're having," Aditya replied, his gaze fixed on her. Ava felt a strange sensation under his intense stare. It wasn't an unpleasant feeling, rather a peculiar one. She then turned to assistant Adam and inquired about his preference. Just as Adam was about to respond, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and glanced at Aditya, who was smiling at him.
It was the same smile he would wear before bringing harm to his victims. Adam coughed nervously and said, "You don't need to order for me, Mam. I actually have somewhere to be, so I'll take my leave first." With that, he hastily made his exit, feeling a bit defeated. *Sigh* 'Being an assistant is truly challenging.'
The atmosphere grew a bit quieter after Adam left. Ava cleared her throat and said, "Thank you once again for your help yesterday. I'm not sure how I can repay you for it."
"No need to thank me. I simply did what I had to do. As for repayment..." Aditya replied, drawing out the word "repayment."
"May I ask for something as repayment?" Aditya inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"As long as it's within my capabilities, yes," Ava responded.
Aditya was about to say more when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I suppose our lunch has arrived," Aditya remarked.
After 5 minutes the lunch was served in front of them . Ava is big foodie. As long as there is food in front of her she would no longer care about anyone else and keep eating. Just because she was a bit busy lately she was unable to eat properly. Now that the project has been finalized she can eat with a piece of mind.
Ava was lost in her lunch while Aditya was just starting at her with a dotting gaze . If anyone from his office would see his expression they would surely pass out from shock.
Ava again felt his staring so she looked up and saw his dotting gaze and went back to eating. Wait doting? Ava again looked up to see that he wasn't looking at her anymore and was quietly eating his lunch. As if the look she just felt right was just her imagination. She didn't think deeply and again continued eating.
There was this harmonious atmosphere surrounding them .
Aditya said breaking the silence " Taking about repayment..
'Why don't you become my girlfriend?'
The moment those words left his mouth Ava choked on her food and spit out the food in her mouth. She started coughing. After calming her coughs she looked up to see a very horrible scene in front her. The fried rice which she was eating now was all on Aditya's face and suit.
'OMG! What have I done?!' Ava thought . Saying she was embarrassed would be an understatement. She just wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole.
Rumor has it that Aditya Roy Kapoor has a serious OCD. He didn't even spared his own sister when she accidentally touched him with dirty muddy hands. He kept scrubbing himself with soap for about 2 long hours. He also punished his sister by making her clean their whole house for a week . If he would find a single dust on house , he would again force her to clean the house.
Ava quickly started apologising "I'm really sorry. Extremely sorry. I didn't mean to spit out all my food on you" Ava again slapped her mouth and scolded herself. And then
