At Building No 10 Sales Branch, Angelo corporation

"Yes. Yes." Marco Polo smiled more widely "You have been promoted to work beside Mr. Alan Angelo's as one of his Secretary beside Miss Melissa Cook."

"WHAT?"

"No!!"

Tina yelled quickly scared.

Marco Polo was taken aback. His face wrinkled in pure confusion.

"Tina..No? What?"

Tina's was marked with horror. Hey brown eyes wide, mouth open inviting flies.

She shook her frantically.

Work with this fool.

No way.

This guy is T for trouble for her sanity. And pure sick. Who likes married Womens?

Him.

That's not the point.

"I--I-- am happy here Sir. Why promote me ...haha.." She chuckled nervously "I will work hard here. Working with you is my honour. How can you promote me just like that.. in my life ,you are my great mentor Sir "

Alan's smirk widened.

The dark head beauty was now rambling. Her smile is too funny for him to ignore.

Wow, is this is going to be her reaction! Then what about the time she actually starts working for him.. it will be fun!

Hehe..I'm genius.. indeed I was right about chasing her here ..I can feel the excitement.

Marco Polo's face softened. He was touched. He wasn't light, and always strict boss on his employees. But never a employee wanted to work with him in a mere Assistant position so badly to deny working with Alan Angelo .

He cleared his throat, highly impressed with Tina and more determined to make her leave.

"You don't have to worry Tina. You are the most hardworking person I've worked. Rest assured, you will learn many things working beside Mr. Angelo. He has seen your work and that's why eager to keep you in his side. You don't have to miss working with me this much."

Tina closed her mouth on verge of pathetic tears. Miss working with him my butt. He's not even that great.

Her eyes flickered between the two mens.

It was clear this whole situation doesn't add up. This pig Angelo is definitely seems suspicious. His smirk is so broad it just blinded her vision from giving him anymore excuses to reject the so-called promotion.

How about beating him up?

Look at the hit mark is still shining on his forehead proudly.

Tina was almost tempted to teach him a lesson again. That guy just bit her lips yesterday and Saanvi couldn't stop teasing her about it. It wasn't a kiss. Just stupidity.

"Miss Tanuja Sharma,.."

Tina gritted her teeth, glaring. Is it so hard for him to call her T-ina!!!

Alan obvious to her glare continued, a mischievous glint crossing over his handsome face as he stood up from his chair taking slow steps towards her.

"---I am actually really impressed with your dedication towards your work. And you are truly loyal to Mr. Polo. " His grey eyes sparkled, towering over her petite body.

With broad daylight smirk still plastered on his lips he cocked his head and looked at Marco Polo.

"Mr. Polo, let's just fasten Miss. Tanuja Sharma's trasfer to my company. This kind of loyal employee I cannot afford to lose at any cost. "

Loyal !! Do I look like a dog? Huh!

Tina scoffed. What a dramatic guy.

Is he actually the second incharge of Angelo corporation? I doubt.

Marco Polo nodded determined. Alan Angelo is actually right.

"You're right Mr. Angelo. I'll fasten her trasfer order."

Alan smiled widely "That's settled then. Miss Tanuja Sharma can come join work from tomorrow instead of waiting for Monday. Perfect."

Tina couldn't believe her ears. She didn't even say yes to anything. How's it settled?

"Sir. I don't think so.. it's better I work--"

"Tina, you don't need to feel anything towards me. You needs money as well more since financial condition isn't good in your family. You can report Mr. Alan Angelo from yesterday. Alright."

She couldn't do anything but nod unwillingly.

It was a torture. A pure cruel torture.

Inside the tortourus atmosphere, Tina felt grateful when her phone suddenly started ringing, saving her.

She quickly pulled out it from her pants pocket.

Her expressions changed in blink. Her face dimmed.

"Excuse me. I need to pick this call." She said in serious voice and left without waiting for anyone's permission.

After reaching her office, she closed the door before answering.

"Hello Leah."

["Tina, you were right. He's still in London not overseas on any urgent work. But we can finally catch him red hand today.]

"Are you certain? I don't want him to get alert."

[Don't worry woman. I arranged someone for him, for tonight. He visits this club often and today I am sure he's going there again." ]

Tina's heart clenched.

"Send me the details. I'll be there."

[ Consider it done. About him working with someone else and conning you. Just give me little more time.]

Tina smiled bitterly.

"Thanks again Leah.I'll transfer the money to you."

[No hurry dumbo. Tonight. Stuff a knife for safety. Bye."

"Bye."

This will be fun.

Meanwhile back to Building No.3 , Angelo corporation

Andres put back the documents when his personal phone started ringing breaking his concentration. It was already hard to focus, now his little Brother decided to trouble him.

"Yes." He answered in his usual cold voice.

[My favourite evil Brother.. I am proud of you. You know I got to know your all your evil deeds towards my sister-in-law..hehe.. you are definitely my hero..]

"Next time, I'll fire Assistant Robert Williams." Was his chilly straight forward reply.

[Pssht! Brother you are no fun. And he is not the only one you know. I own a security company. Poking my nose into everyone's life is my job description.]

"Mmm.."

Andres voice softened.

His little brother is surely capable of doing everything. He might be a big loudmouth, or busybody but he's the only guy who doesn't run away hundred of miles away from him because of his silent temperament.

While others got scared of him he stick back to him like glue even when he doesn't like to talk too much to anyone.

[So.. Bro, atlast you signed Sister-in-law to the company. Eh! Why suddenly?] Alan said in teasing voice.

Andres gaze automatically traveled to the girl sitting on his sofa, trying to sort out the files she never dealt with before. Her cute nose scrunched in concentration, eyes staring down hard at the words. It was almost like the letters will start make sense with her glare.

"Because.. I missed her." He replied in daze.

Other side, Alan: 👀 why did I even ask? *Lovey dovey shit to my single ears* *groans*😑

When did my big boring Brother became so romantic... Damn .. I wants to sulk..

After hanging up, Andres called out for Saanvi.

"Miss Roy"

Saanvi who was busy with something... right something, her demon boss told her to arrange accordingly. How ? No she wasn't aware. The letters didn't even made a single sense.

she knew by the end of the today, she will go mad. This man is sooo.. Pagal!(insane)

Her face little red from eating up all her frustration, brain messed up, puffing up her mouth she looked up at the same magnetic yet infuriating voice of a man she was whole day busy cursing.

"Yes" She snapped.

Andres was feeling tempted to pull her cheeks.

For some reason, his cute little wife looked more angelic getting worked up because of him.

He was awed, not at all angry with her tone. Because as soon she snapped at him angry she realised her mistake and tightly sealed her lips to prevent yelling further. She's just so cute.

He kept his face serious, masking his smile. He shouldn't enjoy her misery but who could blame him. He wanted her around him, and he wasn't a man who doesn't know how to act.

"Please get me two plates of food from canteen, second floor."

He definitely thinks you as his 'kaam wali bai' Saanvi. (Maid)

Saanvi watched the mysterious beautiful man, aka her tyrant boss lowered his eyes back after ordering her. He was such a workaholic. She wasn't complaining, ofcourse this huge empire doesn't run on sands and water.

"Yes Sir---."

"Wait!" Andres remembered something important. "Two plates of food with no meat."

"Ok."

She simply replied. This time in relief.

'Shukar hai, mujhe tho lga mera sir hi phatt jayega is bandar k chakkar mai'

(Thankyou, I thought my head will burst today because of this monkey.) Saanvi mumbled loudly.

Saanvi didn't realised she was actually talking way to loudly for anyone to pick up her words, as she pushed away the strange numerical files and started moving out of the door.

The man who was attentive, hearing his wife muttering foreign words, frowned. Was she cursing me again in her native language?

To woo her, You need to learn her language Andres.

He nodded to himself.

Anything to get close to his wife.

The devil unaware of his wife's words, who just called him 'monkey' busied himself in his work, thinking about more works he can hand her over to make her stay around him.

If only he knew his cute wife gave him an interesting name.

Saanvi who didn't want to face anymore of rude employees while collecting any item of food, knocked outside the office door.

She was really annyoed.

Wasn't he the real Assistant of that man? Then why is she forced to do his chores, while he is always taking naps.

She could see the figure of man, who suddenly opened his eyes. His body refreshed. The big boss was so cruel the past weeks, he made him work double. Not overtime but double, more than he wanted to. In chaos of finding him a suitable wife, Alan Angelo wasn't behind to make his boring life for complicated.

He looked outside.

As expected it is Lady Boss.

Few hours back, he just taught her how to make Boss' special coffee. While she refused to enter pantry room, he secretly showed her the coffee machine resting at corner of his office.

But why didn't Boss tell Lady Boss about it? Instead he sent her to the Staff's pantry. Hmm..

He opened his door and gave her a bright refreshing smile after his sleep.

Saanvi's narrowed her eyes and told him, "The Boss' has ordered for me to bring two plates of food in his office."

Assistant Robert was confused, he quickly flipped through his tablet. Nope. No meeting guest for today.

But he asked for it, so he cannot simply marched to him and say no. Or he will eat me alive. He is scary.

He could feel the shivers of chills he has received all those years working for him and still isn't used to it.

"I'll help you Lady-- cough-- Miss Roy. " He offered.

Saanvi was finally happy and accepted his help. No bad encounters with anyone. And she was really nervous too ,to enter a place filled with place full of working peoples eating.

**

Both of them holding one-one plate of food got out from the lift, heading towards the CEO 's office.

Assistant Robert knocked and with small 'enter' they both went inside the room.

Saanvi quietly followed the Assistant. Her eyes automatically flickered to his chair. She frowned. The chair was empty.

"Place the plates here."

She heard his deep cold voice, and was relieved.

Someone was missing her hot Beautiful boss...

Hush!

Her inner voice is really naughty and bad influence to her innocent self.

As the Assistant moved from in front of her, Saanvi noticed Andres sitting back on the sofa. The files she scattered missing instead of it there was two filled glasses of water.

She couldn't help but wonder, is someone coming here to eat with him?

She noticed now. Two plates of food?

Who could that be?

A girl?

Subconsciously her fingers tightned around the edge, feeling a burning sensation in middle of her chest. Why not, he's so good looking. Even better than fake prince inside those childish children's book.

Nowadays no handsome guys are single.

She was suddenly feeling annyoed at him and avoided his dark grey orbs which were already following her, placing the plate in front of him on table.

"You can leave Assistant Robert, it's already lunch time." Andres told the man in his dismissed serious voice.

Assistant Robert who wanted to ask about if someone was coming over to eat with him? But refrained.

Hesitated, he turned to leave atlast. Sigh, Boss is not even looking at me. His eyes are only fixed on Lady Boss.

Andres didn't know but he felt Saanvi's expressions little odd. Her shining big eyes weren't looking at him anymore like it was doing all day following him secretly. A hardly visible pout on her lips as she continuously watched outside the glass wall.

It was confirmed when the silly girl turned to leave behind his Assistant out of his office.

"Saanvi, you are not allowed to leave." He quickly stopped her.

He was suprised as his wife who was obedient and calm throughout the day was suddenly glaring at him muderously. She truly resembled the wild kitten, hands crossed in front of her chest, dark curls bouncing on her shoulders freely.

"And why not Andres. This is lunch time."

Andres was silent without saying a word. Something in his cold heart flipped. Truly a wild kitten.

Her glare intensified looking at the man who continued to stare at her without saying a word, his tall profile shining like gold under the sunlight coming from behind him.

Andres cleared his throat, breaking out of his daze. His brain along with his heart flipped reminding him the first time she came running into his back, cursing loudly and fighting with his bodyguards inside the local club.

He gestured towards the food, his face neutral, "Yes. It is lunch time. So sit, we can start eating now."

Saanvi: (●__●) *dumbfounded *

"Me?" Saanvi pointed in her direction, then to the second plate "This one is for me?"

"Who else is here Miss Roy? " Andres moved and made space for her to sit beside him "Come and start eating."

Saanvi: oh °o°

The man watched bewildered as the girl out of blue suddenly broken out into a huge wide heart flipping smile. Her dark brown eyes sparkling brightly along with her whole face. Like a giddy child she quickly took her seat beside him, picking her spoon.

And to the end, Andres didn't get the answer to her sudden mood swing. He can only watch his angel eating happily.

Certain brown head Assistant, who hasn't left till now watched stealthily outside the door, his Big tyrant unemotional Boss eating beside his wife and... Smiling!!!??

This time, he didn't even need to remind his Boss to have his lunch on time.

Lady Boss is truly magician. The Big Scary Boss does have heart.

He searched for his Second Boss' number, to share gossip with him and left.

"Hello Second Boss"

***

Light Modeling Agency,

At certain office,

*Tringg**

Agent Ruchika Thomson's telephone ringed.

"Hello, I am Ruchika Thomson from Light Modeling Agency."

She answered the call, there was commotion from other side. Her eyes widened with every passing second as she heard what the other person was actually telling her.

"Oh. Sure Sir. I'll contact with Miss Aditi chauhan and confirm with you."

She was frightened. No not frightened, terribly excited. In her excitement, she lost her logical brain. Happily she got up from her seat and directly ran towards the other building where the shooting was going on.

There she saw Aditi posing in swim suits, and excused everyone dragging Aditi to an empty room with her.

"What the hell Ruchika!!" Aditi screamed unhappy.

"Aditi you won't believe what happened?" Ruchika panted " I got a call from BEAUTY brand's director Augustine, he-e wants to sign yo for BEAUTY's face for their new product launch."

Aditi's was shocked.

"What? How!! Ahhh!!"

She was so excited. Both of the girls were so happy they forgot to think logically. BEAUTY wasn't the brand to hire regular new models for popularity matters, then hoa come the newly low class model like Aditi chauhan got promoted so fast?

"I'll quickly release this news on your social account after we sign the contract tomorrow. This will increase your popularity. And After this advertisement, you can try out in movies without any problem."

Both of their eyes shined with greed.

Soon she won't need loser like Viraj Khanna to step high on ladder of fame. He's just pawn in her game.

**

Andres insisted on dropping off Saanvi when he received the news of her going home alone on cab. It wasn't entirely safe and he wanted to spend more time with his wife ,whom he knew little about.

Saanvi fidgeted with her fingers getting nervous. She can feel the pair of eyes staring at her without looking away, Why he is so openly staring at me?

She peeked through her hairs, yep he was still staring at her. She quickly turned away her face and to towards the car window.

She wanted to hide from his intimidating gaze so badly.

She texted Tina to pick her up, but at last minute she backed out. She apologized to her, something urgent came up and needed her attention, so she agreed to let her go.

After nervously scratching her ears, she decided to finally scold him.

A little pout formed in her lips unhappy, as she now turned to look at the creepy good looking man who wasn't discreet at all staring at her. Not even looking away after getting caught.

"What? Staring is rude."
