Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

Jacob’s eyes followed where Ashley was looking and then stopped at me. I gave a nervous smile, but he didn’t acknowledge it back and stormed toward the cabin.

Wow! What a great start to the day!

“From when bosses started arriving at the office this early?” Ashley exclaimed.

“I’m so dead.”, I muttered in tension.

“Yea! He’s such a good-looking greek god that any girl would be ready to die to him.”, She joked, on which she earned a glare from me. “Okay, sorry!”, She muttered. “By the way, I think he already knew that you’re his personal assistant, and he knowingly told those mean things to me so that you can listen to him.”

“I think you’re right. Even in the elevator, he was talking about the same.”

“In the elevator?”

“Yea! We arrived at this floor in the same elevator along with two other bosses, I guess?

“Really? Does it mean you did see his cousin? Klaus Martinez. Isn’t he handsome as well?” Ashley again changed the topic, on which I shook my head. “Both Martinez’s brothers are sooooo handsome. I wonder what that monkey do with him?”

‘Which monkey?’

“Ms. Steel,” immediately opened the door of our boss’s cabin. “I will appreciate it if you focus more on work rather than gossip.”

“Yes! Yes, sir!”, The door soon was slammed loudly. He literally seemed pissed.

Why?

I didn’t know.

After turning on the PC and arranging my things, I walked toward the devil’s office. I knocked at his door and, after hearing ‘come in’ from his end. I walked inside the devil’s den and found him checking some files.

“Good Morning, Sir,” I greeted him, on which he lifted his eyes to look at my face.

“Good Morning. You are…?”

Wow! He was really acting like he didn’t know me at all.

“I’m Falak Srivastava, your personal assistant.”

“Hmm. So, where were you yesterday, Ms. Srivastava? I’m sure you were not sick just like you mentioned to the HR and the watchman.”

Shit!

He heard that conversation.

“I…I..”

“I think you were probably playing a game to act like someone else. What was that name…umm, yes, Alima.” I shut my eyes in embarrassment, recalling that moment. “Anyways, is this the report prepared by you?”, He asked, changing the topic and showing me the file in his hand.

“Yes, sir.”

“Perfect. Since I have the least idea about it because I didn’t get time to read it, so, you can give a presentation in front of the CEO and other senior managers about this report.”

WHAT!! I wanted to scream at his face but I couldn’t because I love my job.

“Okay, sir.”

“Great. Prepare yourself. The presentation is in the next ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes?” I asked in horror.

“I hate repeating myself.”, He said arrogantly. “And here, take this. Have a quick revision.”

“What did he say?” Ashley said when I came out of Jacob’s cabin.

“Don’t ask me anything right now.”, I muttered in tension and sat on my chair to make a few key points so that I could give the presentation without skipping any major points.

After five minutes,

“Falak, get up from your damn seat! CEO and the other senior managers are here!” Ashley whispered, yelling when I didn’t notice what was happening around me as I was busy; you could see!

Everyone except me had already left their seats, hearing the sound of shoes clashing on the ground as a few men started walking in.

I quickly got up from my seat, but until then, a pair of grey eyes had already seen me; he was none other than Klaus Martinez. I couldn’t observe him perfect in the lift, but now I could; he was no longer a lean and thin boy but had a muscular body which the black suit was showing off, hugging him tightly.

If Jacob was scary for her, then he was the scariest among all.

Even though I was calling him the scariest among all but not for a single second did my eyes leave his. I couldn’t decipher, but it seemed like even he was pissed.

And when he tore his eyes from mine. I felt disappointed, but I shouldn’t be, right?

I wondered whether he recognized me or not? But I highly doubt that! He had a lot of girl fans in the school back then because he was too good at basketball.

Once, he walked inside the COO’s office along with other people. Everyone sighed in relief. Well, he really had a strong dominating aura around him.

“Did you see that monkey behind him? I wanted to break his teeth for checking me out?” Ashley commented without having any idea that I was lost in a pair of grey eyes at that moment.

“Later, sweetheart! Later!” I said, concentrating my focus on the report.

Immediately the telephone on my desk rang, and I received the call.

“Hello, Ms. Srivastava. Please come to my cabin.” I heard Jacob’s voice.

“Okay, sir.”

***

After five minutes, I took a deep breath before knocking on the door again.

‘Where is she? Didn’t he realize that she has to come on an urgent basis?’ I heard a loud roaring sound from the cabin. The intensity of the voice just made my already jumping heart fall off the cliff.

‘Calm down, Jacob. Let’s wait for a few minutes more.’ I think this was Tyler’s voice. Hearing his calm voice, I managed to knock on the door; after hearing the ‘come in,’ I walked into the devil’s den again with heavy and shaky steps.

I intensely didn’t look toward Jacob’s face, knowing that he was at me instead, I looked around, and my eyes met with Klaus, who looked read with anger, but at the same time, he looked as if he was ready to kill anyone with his cold and stormy grey eyes. We both stared at each other with a blank expressions.

A moment later, I looked away from him to other people, feeling uncomfortable seeing the growing intensity of his eyes.

“Hello everyone, My name is Falak Srivastava. I’m sorry for making you wait.” I apologized and, one by one, handed over the photocopy of the report near them. “I thought to get a photocopy of the report so that you can go through the report once my presentation is over. And also, it will help you in pointing out errors, if any.”, I politely explained.

Third Person’s POV

.

I didn’t want to act like I was mad at her, but at the same time, it was important to do so so that my other colleague didn’t dare to scold her or raise their voice at her. Every time I heard her voice, I found myself enthralled by her sweet and melodic voice.

From morning itself, I was trying hard to control my desire from the moment my eyes landed on her. Last night, I had thought to stay away from her romantically. But it was damn too hard for me because I felt an irresistible pull toward her. I felt my frustration reaching my peak when she looked at me with her innocent face, not knowing what her simple look was doing to me. At that time, I wanted to do nothing but kiss her senselessly.

‘I thought to get a photocopy of the report so that you can go through the report once my presentation is over. And also, it will help you in pointing out errors, if any.’

See!

How smart was she!

And I was so proud that I fell for her brain more than her innocent and cute look. I was finding her even more irresistible, seeing the way she presented herself in a very dignified and decent manner compared to most of the women working in the office. Yes, most of them were women wearing the tightest and shortest clothes possible on the earth, and this made her stand apart from most of the women working in the office.

She gave a small smile to everyone before starting the presentation. She walked toward the presentation board and started explaining the whole thing in a clear tone with stammering even for a while. She explained each and every point without missing a single mistake. I couldn’t be more proud of my choice anymore. Many times, our eyes met, but she quickly looked away in a matter of seconds, and this was irking me.

Once the presentation was loved, she looked at us hopefully, maybe waiting to hear some appreciation or something, but…Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Sorry, senorita! You’re not going to get a good review even after a wonderful presentation.’, I thought, knowing what was going to happen next.
