Akruti Arora
It's been two days since I started working. The working atmosphere is pretty well. Mr.Khanna too is good, he's kind and all. I meant in the boss's way. I even carried my work stuffs home to complete the presentation. The presentation was about the profits that the company has gained in recent months. I'm actually surprised. A young boy starting a company on his own and reaching the topmost company in India is beyond imagination with many branches across the country.
Damn that guy.
The company in which I work is related to Fashion. The company - designs, holds fashion shows, has it's own clothing line called VK Clothings, I know you guys have a doubt that how can I work here. Let me clear your doubt, I hold an undergraduate degree in Fashion designing from FDDI university.
People tend to say 'your job is easy just with cloths, you have to design that's all'. My dears, if anyone says this dialogue just punch that person for me. It takes hell a lot of works. From measurements to choosing the fabric, from drafting to patterning, from draping to stitching, it's a big process.
Yesterday after completing the presentation, I sent a copy to my boss for verification of any mistakes. He did respond replying to me 'okay'. Just 'okay'. What the hell man?? Can't he appreciate....dumb boss. Today I got ready in a maroon shirt and black jeans and tied my hair in a fishtail braid.
My head is aching so badly. I don't know why? Even when I slept I heard some voices like 'he's there for you.', 'he'll save you from them'.I also got blur images of some people. But I don't know who they are? And how are they related to me. It's like a mystery.
After grabbing breakfast I made way to Nila's apartment. I called her and asked her to get me an Advil. On reaching her apartment I immediately swallowed the tablet with water.
'Yuck, it tastes bitter'. I didn't inform my family because they'll worry too much.
Reaching the office we went to our respective cabin. Even though Nila's boss hasn't arrived from his trip yet, she had so much work to do. Guess her boss doesn't do any of the work. I greeted my boss 'good morning' with a small smile. He just curtly nodded.
'This man is too much. What will happen if he greets back? Will his shares come down?. I wish his voice vanishes just like that. Poof. Then he'll know the importance of voice and speaking.'
After he entered his cabin, he buzzed asking me to report to his cabin with his doppio. He runs this much big empire, can't he make his own doppio.
'This muttonhead, I tell you'.
Knocking his cabin door, I entered after receiving a 'come in'. Handing his doppio, I notified him, the meetings scheduled for the day.
At, 10 he had a meeting with the company, 'The idea's ', for the upcoming fashion runway. The theme was Wedding collections - from gowns, sarees to lehengas. So the hall would be decorated as if it's going to held a marriage. I was amazed by the way he interacted with the event planners, even listening to their ideas.
' Gosh, this man is something.'
I noted all the points that might help in the future. Then he had a meeting at 12 with 'Krasiv' meaning 'beautiful', in Bulgarian. The 'Krasiv' company deals with cosmetics. I think he wanted to step into the cosmetic region too. Dang the way his jaws move whilst he speaks. I was practically drooling at him.
'What the hell is wrong with you??', my subconscious popped up from nowhere.
'Already your head is aching. Don't add too much pressure to it', my subconscious reminded me.
I didn't utter anything, scared what if I say it loud. Pushing my thoughts back I concentrated on the meeting whilst rubbing my forehead. Also, I noted a few points for the minutes of the meeting.
After the two consecutive meetings, my head was literally blasting. I headed towards the cafeteria for a cup of coffee. While I was having my coffee, I saw Nila heading towards me. The last two days after work we both had so much fun.
We went to stores to buy some casuals for her. She only had Indian wears in her closet, not that I mind, but she needed some wardrobe change which I gladly helped her with. Today she was looking so beautiful in her denim shirt and black jean.
"How's your headache now??", she asked me on reaching.
"I feel like crackers are blasting in my head!!", I replied back, whilst rubbing my forehead with my right hand.
"Let's go to the doctor or wait let me inform Anna about this!!", saying this she was about to call my brother when I immediately snatched her mobile from her. She frowned on my action.
"Why did the hell did you snatch my mobile??", she whispers yelled, since the cafeteria was flooding with people as it's lunchtime now.
"I don't want my family to worry about me. You know after the accident my family totally freaks out if they knew I have a headache. So even if I have a headache sometimes, I rather don't say them, instead, I have an Advil to reduce it. And it works. Or else I think I'm PMSing. Yeah, that's what I think. Trust me, after this last meeting anyways we're gonna head home. So no worries. Chill Nila". She calmed after listening to my reply.
"But if you feel more pain, then say me. I'll massage your head. Okay??", she replied in a worried tone.
"Okay, dear. Hey, and you're staying in my house tonight right??" , I questioned her.
"Yepp", she responded whilst popping more pressure on 'p'.
After having our lunch, I headed towards Mr.Hoity-Toity's cabin. Yes, that's what I call him. Entering his cabin, I informed him of the meeting that he had with our company officials.
'Yeah, the same one for which I prepared the presentation.'
My head continued to play drums in my head. I sighed heavily and rubbed my temple to ease the pain. I think I sighed so heavily that it caught Hoity-Toity's attention.
"Ms. Arora are you okay?? 'cause I saw you massaging your forehead during the meeting with 'Krasiv ' company too??" , He asked me.
"Yes Sir, I'm fine. Just a slight headache. Else nothing to worry", I replied to him.
"Are you sure??", he asked me in a doubtful manner.
"I'm cent percent sure Sir. I'm fine. Let's get going to the meeting. Else I'm afraid that we might reach late.", I replied to him.
"Ms.Arora, I'm the boss here, it doesn't cause any issues if I reach a minute late.". He responded. Whilst I just nodded my head in response. Asking me whether I'm fine one more time we headed towards the conference room.
'Weird that Hoity-Toity cares for me'.
The meeting went in a peaceful manner 'cause no one will oppose Hoity-Toity (My Boss). Else the only way to shut them up is using 'Avada Kedavra'.
He doesn't say the spell, instead, a single glare from him is enough to shut them up. It seems his glare his equal to 'Avada Kedavra' I guess. My head still continued to ache.
I don't know why the hell my head is blasting this much. I noted some points for this meeting too. It's important to note this if you're the PA to CEO.
'Argh, man I hate my day.'
After the meeting got concluded on the good note, all the members started leaving the conference room. My boss and I were the last to leave. I was ahead of my boss when suddenly I felt my surrounding spinning. I started swaying like I was heavily drunk. Black spots started making their presence when My subconscious popped up.
'Hey, I guess you're going to blackout'
'Thanks for announcing beforehand', I retorted back.
'Mention not', it replied back.
'Seriously???'
That's it, I was about to hit the ground when two strong hands secured me from breaking my bones. Before I was about to lose my total consciousness, all I heard was a worried voice calling my name, which I presume that it belonged to my Boss.
"Akruti...Akruti ..Akruti..."
