It has been like a week, and I didn't make any mistakes. No dramas were there. I was happy with my job. I was really happy! I kept up my pledge.

I headed office with the same enthusiasm and resumed my work. Everything was so good. The hot sun, the bus ride nothing annoyed for almost a week. I was happy about working even on weekends! Yes, this one week changed my opinion about my job because I didn't screw up anything like before.

Till lunch break everything went as planned. Just after that, the monster begin it's job. Aadhvik calls me to his room! I had this over confidence inside me and I was sure I would make sure that the joke he is trying to play on me is right back on him. I walked proudly into his room and his eyes as usual was glued to the computer. Not surprising any more!

"Yes sir" I cleared my throat.

"Being me file 3241" he says not even looking at my face.

DISRESPECT!

"Sir can you tell me the color of the file" I didn't even bother to request him. I told more in a way of command.

"Why?" His gaze turned to meet my eyes chocolate brown eyes.

I stare into his grey eyes! How the hell does he not have a girlfriend? He is obviously a wealthy, powerful person and it is impossible to not notice how attractive he is. God, probably he has some dark and secret past or something - it is the only explanation.

STOP THINKING ESHA! ANSWER HIM NOW!

"Because I arranged the files according to its color and size in order to make the work easier" I told more in a proud manner as I was completely satisfied with the arrangement.

"What!!!" He stood up from his chair.

Shit! Why is he getting up? I actually started getting scared. What is wrong with him? Why is he losing his cool now? God! Save me!

He walked directly to the file room and I followed him back. I knew this was not gonna end up smooth.

He is taken a back by seeing the file room, Woah! Maybe he was amazed by my undiscovered skills. Good for me!

Before I could come to a conclusion. He walked inside and started pulling out random files from random rows and within some miniutes the whole room was upside down, with millions of file lying on the floor.

What is he doing? I couldn't believe my eyes for a second. How much hard work I did in rearranging them NEATLY and he spoiled it in one go. Ughh!

He finally managed to get file 3421. He then turns towards me,
"Don't try to change anything here!" His eyes promised me some danger indeed.
He slammed the door and went. Someone woke up on wrong side of the bed today!

I opened the file room door to step out and he was right out checking out the file.
"Where are you going now?" He asked.
"I am going to my desk to resume my work!" I glared at him.

He keeps the file down on the table and leans closer until our faces are only inches apart. I forgot to breathe for a second. I don't know if it is because of how intimidating he is or how handsome he is, but I have to put some distance between us before I can think straight.

"Arrange them up NOW!" he said pointing fingers at the millions of file lying there.

What?? I have to arrange them all up? Again? All my happy proud moment faded within seconds. I tied my hair up into a bun, my dupatta around my waist and started arranging them.

It took me almost five hours to arrange them into orders of their serial numbers, validity etc. It was eleven at night. I knew it was night but didn't expect the time to be eleven. All the lights was off expect his. I opened his door and find him sleeping with his head leaned against the desk.
