Chapter 1 - mr. rude -1

Amrita... "Get up, dear! You said you had to go for an interview, remember?"

Amrita wakes up, rubbing her eyes. "Mom, I told you to wake me up at 6:00!" she exclaims, rushing to get ready before heading to her interview. Amrita, a twenty-five-year-old young woman, hurries out the door.

Running late, she realizes the bus has already left, so she starts walking toward the auto stand. Out of nowhere, a sleek black Mercedes speeds by, hitting a pothole and splashing muddy water all over her.

"Hey, Mr. Rude! Don't you have eyes? What's with the speed?" she yells.

The driver, a man around twenty-seven, hears her words and stops. He steps out in style and approaches her, surprised by her boldness.

"You don't see, do you?" Amrita continues. "There are people walking on the road! Oh, but people like you, with all that money, don't care about others' lives, right? They mean nothing to you!"

The man looks at her, retrieves a bundle of cash from his car, and hands it to her mockingly. "Here, take this for your 'drama'," he says, tossing the money at her with a cold "Go to hell."

"Hey, Rude!" Amrita calls after him. She wipes the mud off her face and smears it on his shirt, saying, "Money may buy you everything, but there are some things you can never buy. But I'm sure someone like you would never understand." She throws the bundle of cash back at him and storms off angrily.

The next scene cuts to the AA Group of Industries office, where Arjun, the company's CEO, walks in cheerfully.

His colleague Vinay, noticing his rare good mood, asks, "Hey, what's with the happiness? Haven't seen you smile like this in years."

"A girl ran into me on the road."

"A girl? Really?"

"Yes! She had the nerve to scold me. Can you believe that? I'll find her; just wait and watch."

Suddenly, someone interrupts, "Excuse me, sir, the candidates are ready for the interview. Shall we start?"

"Okay, send them in."

---

Amrita, meanwhile, is tense as she heads into her interview, her mind still preoccupied with the morning's incident. She hears, "Miss Amrita?" and steps into the cabin.

"Excuse me... Hello, sir. Good morning," she greets.

"Good morning. Tell me about yourself."

"Good morning, sir... First of all, thank you for this opportunity. My name is Amrita..." She starts, then turns and sees the man from the car — Arjun, the CEO. She's shocked.

"Oh god! I've walked right into the lion's den. There's no way I'm getting this job," she thinks to herself.

"Miss Amrita, your interview isn't over yet. Continue," Arjun says with a smirk.

She composes herself and answers all his questions confidently.

"Good, Amrita. You got the job... you're selected," he says.

"What? Really?"

"Yes, you're selected... but you'll work as my personal assistant. You'll be by my side from morning to evening."

"Sorry, sir. I'm not joining here," she replies firmly.

"If you choose not to join, you'll have to pay 5 million as a penalty," he replies with a mischievous grin.

"What? That wasn't mentioned anywhere, sir."

"Remember the form you signed after clearing the second round? It's all there in the fine print."

"Is this even legal?"

"It's the company's policy, Amrita. So, are you joining?"

Reluctantly, she thinks of her family's financial situation, especially after her dad's accident, which left him jobless. With a sigh, she agrees, "Alright, sir, I'll start from tomorrow."

"Good decision, Amrita. You may go."

At home, she happily tells her parents, "Mom, Dad, I got the job!" offering them sweets.

Her father blesses her. "All the best, dear. I'm proud of you. Keep our family name high."

"Thanks, Dad. Don't worry about a thing — I'm here, and I'll handle it all," she reassures him.

She heads to her room, thinking, "Ugh, now I have to work with that rude guy, Arjun. But what choice do I have?" She drifts off to sleep.

The next morning, Amrita arrives at the office, where Arjun is conducting a project meeting. In a black blazer and white shirt under dim lighting, he looks captivating and speaks clearly about the project. Seeing this side of him, she's taken aback.

"Is this the same rude guy from yesterday?" she wonders. "What am I thinking? Focus, Amrita!"

After the meeting, Arjun offers her lunch, but she declines, saying, "I'll eat at the office canteen."

"Nonsense. We'll be late if we go back to the office. Let's eat here. That's an order," he insists, leaving her no choice.

They sit in a lush, green garden, surrounded by flowers and the sound of chirping birds. Amrita feels her spirits lift just being in the natural beauty around her.

Seeing her enjoying the surroundings, Arjun smiles. As they start eating, she notices he has ordered her favorite dishes.

"You remember what I like, Mr. Rude?" she teases.

"What did you say?" he asks, annoyed.

"Uh, sorry, sir…"

"It's okay. But next time I hear that, I'll cut your tongue out," he warns with a sly smile.

Startled, she touches her tongue, making Arjun chuckle.

"Mr. Rude," she thinks to herself, "One day, I'll get my revenge."

After lunch, they head back to the office.

In the following days, she becomes friends with Meera, another employee, and quickly adjusts to her new role. Vinay, her new friend, jokes around, calling her his "sister."

---

One day, Vinay waits in a cafe with Meera. "How long will we wait, sir?" Meera asks impatiently.

"She'll be here in five minutes. Just remember, we're pretending to be the perfect lovebirds," he jokes.

Soon, a woman named Shruti arrives, shocked to see him with Meera.

"Who's she?" Shruti asks, her voice tinged with jealousy.

Vinay quickly responds, "Shruti, I'm really sorry, but it's Meera that I... love," making Shruti storm off, visibly upset. Meera, slightly flustered, says, "I'm sorry, sir," and playfully kisses him on the cheek.

This complex relationship between Amrita and Arjun grows over time, filled with confrontations, realizations, and unexpected moments of understanding. As she navigates this unpredictable journey, Amrita finds herself changing, her feelings growing, and slowly begins to see Arjun in a new light.
