He weekend passed by and finally the day arrived, khushi was getting all set to tackle her new job, her job was absolutely new to her, she was used to designing garments, and the stitching, beading embroidery ect' but never had she been a personal assistant to anyone, she did know that she would be taking calls and arranging appointments, what else could it be she thought, today khushi kumara gupta had taken a conscious decision that she would go with an open mind' she started her usual routine of getting naina ready, peter and she had worked out an arrangement whereby, he would pick naina from school and drop her to the dare care and at 6:00 pm when khushi would finish she would pick her,
The day began, khushi walked into AR design, and was greeted by Janis, who told her to go straight to ASR's office on the top floor, she did as she was told, she reached up and knocked on the door, asking for permission to come in,
Arnav: your 1 minute ad 7 seconds late, (he looked at the watch)
Khushi: (hesitantly looked at her watch) sorry.. sir
Arnav: hmm, ok your first task for today is to go down to the accounts department and collect all the necessary checks that I have to sign' while you're at it please go to Nero's coffee shop and pick me up six black strong coffee's, after that report back to me, i will give u my schedule for today (he said this all at one shot and finally left a breath out)
Khushi looked at him, so lost, she was so confused, so many instructions at one time, she didn't move an inch trying to recollect what he just told her, arnav stared at her wondering what she is waiting for'
Arnav: Ms gupta is there something wrong
Khushi: ha' n.. no uh, please call me khushi
Arnav: ok, khushi, get going we are running out of time
Hearing this she scurried off to so what he had asked her to do, she reached the accounts department' as she entered, she saw so many stalls with so many men wearing black and white clothes, each was staring at a computer screen, engross at the work they were doing, poor khushi she was so confused as to what she should do, who should she go to, she went to the man on the first desk and asked him
Khushi: excuse me, I am ASR's new assistant, he has asked me to collect some checks, from where should I collect them'
Man: oh so you're the new lamb that is going to be cut soon, (he smirked)
Khushi: (confused) uh excuse me
Man: right ok, go to the 4 desk, speak to Leonard, he will hand you the checks
Khushi: thank you
Man: uh ms I didn't catch your name
Khushi: uh khushi and u are
Man: bradon, nice to meet you khushi (he held his hand and khushi shook it)
she then went over to ask for the for the checks, as she reached she saw a old man, he was busy on the phone, khushi waited patiently for him to finish, several minuites passed by, and her phone started ringing, she saw it was an unknown number she picked it up and to her surprise it was her boss, he was sounding a bit pissed o the phone, khushi spoke
khushi: hello
Arav: where, the hell are u, whats taking u so long (he said annoyed)
Khushi: (a bit scared) uh sir I am waiting for the checks but the man who has to' (she was about to finish when he interrupted)
Arnav: leave it, I don't want your excuses, get the checks quickly (he cut the phone)
Khushi was a bit shocked, barely had it been 10 minutes passed and he expected her up so quick, she knew she needed the checks so she requested the man politely to do the needful, annoyed that she interrupted his phone conversation, he started to yell at her
Leonard: ms, can u not see I am on the phone (he said rudely)
Khushi: yes I can sir, but I need the checks now, ASR wants them for signing
Leonard: and who are you to tell me, that what he needs to sign or not
Khushi: (now annoyed) I am his new assistant, and he has asked me to collect the checks, if u will please kindly hand me over the checks (she stretched her hand forward)
Leonard who was annoyed handed her the folder and asked her to take them, she took the folder and reached up to his office, and handed them in, he took the file and started to sign the checks while talking to her
Arnav: so did u get my coffee
Khushi: no.. no sir, I will do it right away
Arnav: I thought I told u to do it, while bringing the checks
Khushi: I was, but the leonard, the account took time
Arnav: khushi, i don't need your excuses, get my coffee quick
She ran out to the nearby nero's store, and picked up his 6 hot piping coffee's and then reported back to him, later he gave her his full schedule, that she was jotting down while he was talking, the day was rough, she was told to do all sorts of things like fixing up appointments, to cleaning the dishes and serving him his food, and if that was not enough, she constantly heard him hurl things at her like are "are u insane" or his classic "what the.." by the time her day finished, she was so tired she picked naina up from day care and left for home, on reaching home she saw the couch and sprung straight onto it, and had a nice nap for one hour'.
When she woke up she saw peter and naina sitting at the dining table, she joint them,
Peter: I take it your fist day was awful
Khushi: (rubbing her eyes) awful is an understatement, it was pathetic
Peter: aww cheer up, it was just the first day' by the way how that boss of yours is
Khushi: he is soo bloody hot tempered (she said slapping her fore head) ugh the man is capable of burning an entire building down with his hot temper'. And whats worse is he is so over himself, everything revolves around him, when he is around the whole office is quite ad proper and when he is away, they are all at play' the guy seriously needs to consider putting ice cubes on himself to lower his temperature
Peter chuckled as khushi spoke with a frustrated tone, naina was listening to her mother talk, and instantly took the personality and gave it a face to one of the Disney characters, she said
Naina: mom, u make him sound like the beast' and u look like belle (she said innocently)
Khushi: naina baby, I am not belle, but I can guarantee you he is a beast'
Peter started laughing, both naina and peter got onto cheering up khushi up
