Around two weeks passed by, and khushi state was worse than dogs, arnav would give her all sorts of tasks, and if it wasn't done, he would yell at her, he would call her in for work at 6:30 am, the calls would be sudden, her phone would ring continually off the hook… it was an absolute disaster, the man was mean rechid, and had no regard for his employees, poor khushi would slog for hours and deal with his wrath, until one day, on that faithful day, she decided that she had had enough of him, she could not take the taunting the screaming, it was around 8:00 am ad ASR had just walked into the office, he was as usual in a foul and mood, he stormed in ordering his normal coffee and checks that needed to get signed, khushi was redy today before hand, she had the hot black coffee ready and the checks were on his desk,
he sat down and signed the checks while she handed him his coffee, he opened the lid took a sip, and immediately retracted it from his mouth making a face at her, she looked at him confused, he started off
arnav: what the… u call this coffee (he increased his voice)
khushi: (bluntly) whats wrong with it
arnav: whats wrong with it (he repeated amused) its full of sugar that's what's wrong with it
khushi: fine I'll get u another one (she said without expressions, and headed to the pantry to get him another cup)
arnav silently noticed it, when she placed the cup on his desk, she was about to turn around and leave when he stopped her, with his sentence
arav: u turned out to be, just like the rest… I am not surprised
khushi: (turned around and looked at him) what do u mean??
Arnav: this that, I knew u can't handle this job
Khushi: excuse me, I can very much handle it, what I can't handle is a self absorbed rich man who thinks he can rule the world with money and temper
Arav: (chuckled) and that proves my point u can't handle it,
Khushi: u think ur smartness and arrogance affects me, and that I cannot deal with it, let me tell u something sir, your shouting's and insults did affect me at first, but I still stuck around because I know I can do it,
Arnav: khushi, khushi, khushi, face it you've cracked, u can't take my shouting anymore, u can't handle the pressure, this isn't your cup of tea,
Khushi: (looked straight into his eyes) give me by the end of this month, if I don't change my reputation, then u can not only throw me out but change my name, I will not only prove to be perfect, but I will show u that what u think of me is wrong (she said with confidence)
Arnav: fine khushi it's a deal (he put his hand out to shake)
Khushi looked at him, with glaring eyes, put her hand out and then shook it, saying this she headed down to Janis to tell her everything
Janis: hey khushi whats up
Khushi: hey Janis, I put up a bet with ASR
Janis: (shocked) what… what bet
Khushi: well, he said I can't handle his pressure anymore , which I think its not true, so I put a bet with him, saying that I will prove him wrong
Janis: (now literally on the verge of shouting) do u no what u put yourself into
Khushi: why u so worried
Janis: because khushi, that's ASR u are talking about, he is feisty, and now he is going to make your life miserable
Khushi: let him do what he wants, I will prove him wrong (she said with confidence)
A few of the other employees were hearing their conversation, out of which one was Brandon, from the accounts department, he came up to khushi and told her
Brandon: (shocked) u challenged the mighty ASR
Khushi: yes I did
Brando: girl, u are going to die
Khushi: why is everyone so worried?
Brandon: u don't get it, he will ruin your life
Khushi: Looks don't worry I will be fine
They all chatted for a while and then khushi decided, that if she had to get things done her way she needed a plan, a full proof plan, ASR was a man who loved to give instructions, and numerous instructions at one time, khushi would often forget what he's asked her to do, so the first step was to write down, the second step was to have all his things ready before he asked for them, like his perfect cup of coffee or his checks… step number three was the most important step, khushi's new motto was "I can turn impossible to possible" with this mind set she sat down to make her strategy…
It was a work of only a few seconds that the entire office new about khushi and arnavs challenge, the gossip spread like wild fire across AR designs… there was a big bet amongst the staff themselves on who would win, while ASR's loyalist stayed true to him, the latter was impressed by khushi's courage, they saw hope in her, though they weren't many in number…. But this gossip didn't bother her, she couldn't careless, her main mission was to prove the mighty lion that he was wrong… she was deep in her thought when she saw a tall thin dangly women, walk in, she looked very modern and stylish as she sported a sheik black dress and a pair of 6 inch stilettos on her feat, she approached khushi's desk and asked in a husky voice,
Voice: where is ASR ??
Khushi: he is in a meeting
Voice: oh I see, (then she looked at khushi from top to bottom who was dressed in a yellow short dress and with a black print on it) u must be that sectary that's caused all the gossip
Khushi: (defending herself) I don't know if I made the gossip, and frankly I least care,
Voice: attitude ha!!
Khushi: (now a bit confused) I am sorry who are u again
Voice: (with pride) I, am lavnya kashab, ASR's Show stopper
Khushi: oh ok, well sorry Ms kashab sir is in a meeting, you will have to wait
Voice: (looked back at her with anger) how dare u, you should address me as mam not directly
Khushi: I am sorry, was I too harsh I should be more direct Lavanya sir is in a meeting, ca u please wait (she said boldly)
Lavanya was about to give it back to her, but in a fraction of a second ASR came out, Lavanya saw him and ran to him, and hugged him, he didn't react,
Lavanya: (smiling and greeting him) ASR!!
Arnav: hi lavanya
Lavanya: are u ready for the photo shoot
Arnav nodded, then lavanya put her head on his shoulder and clutched onto him, looking at khushi, who just stood there blank, arnav passed by her and stopped for a few seconds
Arnav: are my meetings confirmed
Khushi: yes they are
Arnav: I am going out for the photo shoot, will be back in an hours time…
Khushi: (completed his sentence) before that I will have your coffee ready…
Arnav was surprised but didn't show it, lavanya on the other hand made a face, the two of them walked out of the office…
