"Miss Aranya Agrawal! Meet me in my cabin, now!!",a deep authorative voice emerged from the intercom. I quickly closed my whatsapp where I was engaged in chatting with kavya or rather arguing of how lustful the CEO is for so long since I left the meeting room. Quickly shoving my phone inside my handbag, I started walking towards Mr. Grumpy CEO's office.

While walking towards his cabin, I noticed the same elderly women whom I met a few hours ago was leaving his cabin with a pleasant smile adorning her face.

As I was about to knock on the glass doors, it automatically got opened. Not automatically but yeah by my new CEO who was having the same pleasant smile playing on his lips as that of the women which made me think if he is her son; which is technically not possible as such charming and gracious young lady cannot have such lusty and obnoxious son...!

As I followed him inside his cabin, there was also the presence of this young lady seated near his desk in all work clothes and on seeing us approaching; she quickly stood up from her seat and greeted us warmly. She was looking way too professional and held an aura of confidence and positivity...

"Miss Ananya! Meet Reena! She's..."

"Excuse me Mr. CEO! My name is not Ananya. It's Aranya, Aranya Agrawal!!",I quickly snapped when I realised that both the pair of eyes were glued on my face. One had this shock written all over her face while the other had a tensed expression and he was literally glaring at me so hard as if he would swallow me raw...

But do I look like I care for his fake reputation? I shrugged my shoulders and glared back at him with equal intensity.

"Listen Miss Aranya Agrawal, you haven't introduced yourself properly to me. Even your name I got to know from your friend or my real Assistant! So better stop acting like an undisciplined child and act like a matured professional!!",he replied through his gritted teeth and turned towards Reena who was looking at both of us in what I assume, shock!!

The words directed by him towards me were quite authorative and rough that did made me embarrassed but I quickly shrugged this awful feeling and focussed on what he was going to speak next.

"So Miss Aranya Agrawal; She's Reena; my secretary and she would take you to the mall and guide you in your shopping so that you can select some appropriate and elegant dress for the evening's dinner", he replied casually and formally; taking out a black card from his pocket and forwarding it to me as if I was some low desperate girl who cannot even afford a dress and lies at his mercy...

"Look Mr. Malhotra! I don't need this! I...",he didn't even let me finish my sentence when he forcefully took my hand in his, placed the card and walked out of his office just like a king with his secretary trailing behind.

But the words he said to me while leaving kept ringing in my mind...

"If you could; you wouldn't be here in those cheap clothes of yours. Now follow my secretary and don't try to defame me infront of everyone! Understood!!"

For the first time in my life someone showed me my actual position....that I'm desperate, born out of a total crap and even worthless shit!! That I can never stand in the level of so called high class society and now after what he said; I don't even want to.

Tears pooled over, blurring my vision and I quickly turned towards the direction they left, only thinking about one thing, my friend kavya's job. She desperately needed it and one dinner won't be a problem, right?!

Author's POV:

"Here's your card! Thank you for showing me my actual position", Aranya replied coldly keeping his card on the desk and quickly left the cabin without even listening to what he was going to say next...

She was in too much hurry that she didn't even realised when she collided hard against something or rather someone.

"Pratyush!! What a sudden surprise!",she squealed in excitement; hugging the guy with whom she just collided a moment ago.

"Aranya! What are you doing here?",he asked getting equally excited; returning the hug..

"Just came to submit few reports on behalf of kavya, she's actually ill",she replied breaking the bear hug.

He mouthed an oh and they both started talking about each other's past and present, about their life and families, job and status etc...

Since Pratyush was Aranya childhood bestie and they both studied their high school together, she was quite close to him. He also liked Aranya very much but just as a friend. After a while, he excused himself for work since he was an employee in this company.

She too returned to her cabin and started staring at the objects placed on the shelf.

"You haven't invested a single rupee from my card? May I know the reason!!",he asked; opening the doors of his black mustang and slided on the driver's seat with Aranya sitting beside him. She was wearing a brown sphagetti strap knee length dress with her creamy white skin fully on display. She didn't felt the need to reply so she simply turned her attention outside the window; completely ignoring his presence..

He was already so much pissed by her behaviour since morning and now she was completely ignoring him; showing him her attitude. He also didn't said anything further and pressing the key into the ignition, he started driving the car to the maximum speed, not caring if they both met an accident!

The speedometer was indicating the average speed of over 140 km/hr which is quite fatal; specially on the crowded roads of India but it was the only way; he could pent up his frustration!!

"I know you're not my employee but still you should maintain the integrity of this office! If you are so desperate to meet your boyfriend than you can meet him outside rather than having a makeout session inside the company!"he replied with not even an ounce of emotion. Applying the brakes,he swiftly turned off the engine and left the car without even waiting for her to come.

"Welcome Mr. Malhotra",a waiter greeted him as soon as he entered inside the posh hotel which was obviously a five star one.

He nodded and sat across the table. After a while everyone including Aranya joins him. She silently sat beside Akshat and was blankly listening up to their conversation with little interest. He introduced Aranya to everyone as his friend which was even something new to Aranya. Her mind was actually tossing on the words, he said to her earlier in the car.

After a while, she excused herself to the restroom. She obviously shed some tears there, not because she is weak or she felt that way but because of the constant throbbing pain; she was feeling in her head due to his accusings and harsh words to which she wasn't even familiar of a bit.

While she was returning; she felt someone abruptly pushing her with a force that she stumbled back and immediately fell on the floor with a loud thud and her knee got badly bruised in the process while her jaw fell to the floor when she realised that it was all done by Mr. Gupta intentionally who was leaning against the door with a sinister smirk playing on his lips...

"Huh, your Mr. Gupta right? What are you doing here in the ladies washroom?!!",she said in disbelief when she realised him looking at her body lustfully as if she's some kind of tasty delicacy. Her mind instantly froze and only one thing kept chanting in her mind "Run for your life!"

Groaning in pain; she anyhow tried to lift her body off the floor but failed miserably when he harshly pulled her by her legs; pinned her body down under his bulky weight and clamped her mouth shut so that she couldn't even shout for help!!

She strived hard to get herself freed from his iron like grip but he was way too stronger and heavier that she couldn't even move a muscle. He started assaulting her body and mind by ravishing every inch of her skin mercilessly; biting and sucking her neck and collar bone till it turned bluish in colour. Tears of helplessness and disgust started rolling down her cheeks. Disgust that she couldn't even save herself from the monster. She started loosing her strength of resisting the beast until she heard a loud voice in the background and when his grip on her body loosened for a split second; she instantly took the advantage of the opportunity and kicked him right in the balls and immediately rushed out of the restroom.

When she finally reached near the table, everyone including Akshat was looking at her in pure shock. She was in a very messed up state with her hair all ruffled, big hickeys covering her neck and collar bone while her eyes were all red and puffy from the constant crying. But before she could even tell the horrific incident that happened with her in the restroom to everyone who were passing her a disgusted look, Akshat's words broke her completely...

"Where were you wh*ring around for so long?"

His words made her mind go numb and out of impulse, she slapped him hard right across his face and rushed out of the hotel; without caring of where she was going.
