I was thinking the reason for his visit. But then I realized that he is a possible investor of the company. So he can visit and make sure his investments are worthy or not.
I shook my head to remove all unhealthy thoughts and control my stomach who was having an orchestra session in it. I somehow crossed the foyer and reached the reception and said hi, to the receptionist. As she was busy today, I did it in her way and she was smiling widely.
Luckily, the elevator didn’t take to long today. I said the lift man my floor and waited patiently. Until, I heard some people talking about the current investors are withdrawing their support. I was shocked would be an understatement. I knew he is very ruthless when it comes to benefits.
But, we are a profiting company, most stable pharmaceutical of India, then why is he doing so..? Maybe because of me… my subconscious said… but why because of me he will risk millions of profits??
Don’t give so much importance to yourself I thought. I reached my cabin and saw everybody extremely silent. I sat on my chair and fired up my PC. Suddenly, I heard Mira… oh no…. bad omen again… my brain alerted.
She came and said,” Your senior is expecting you in his office now.” I gulped and nodded. I had only one thing in my mind, ‘that I hope it’s not because of me’.
I left my cabin and strolled towards his office. I knocked and he said come in in a very stern voice.
I entered and answered,” you called for me? Sir”. He said,” Yes, they are here today to withdraw their support but they can think if you tried to explain them again… their representatives said…. i would appreciate if you would clean your mess”.
I
nodded and thought,” My Messs? Really”…
I was about to leave when he said,” They are waiting for us in the board room accompany me now…”. I nodded and exited with him towards the board room.
I saw the C. E. O of our company, some of our associates, some of their associates and the ‘ JP’. I entered and said my greetings.
They all sat and made themselves comfortable and said me to elaborate everything again.
I did. I explained every necessary detail. Soon, I finished and I realized that the level of tension was reduced a little. I somehow ignored making eye contact with ‘JP’. But he was eyeing me as if he is about to pounce on me.
I tried my best to clear their every doubts. When JP prompted,” we would like to have some discussion alone, will we get some moments to clarify”. Our C. E. O nodded and all executives started leaving. I stood and was about to leave, when he said,” we would like to have Ms. Malik back with us”.
I had to wait forcefully…. I waited back and was waiting for them to ask and discuss issues. But none did.. I was wondering why?? They were busy discussing… alone… then why to halt me?
After few minutes, JP cleared his throat and everybody of his delegates started leaving. While going out… One of their officer and JP’s spoon I guess said,” congratulations, you can rule him…”.
I didn’t got any thing.. so I thought to let it go and started packing up everything.
I was just about to open the door, when JP said,” Maya wait back!”. His voice had such a authority that it made me stop in my way.
He growled,” come here Maya”. I decided not to but couldn’t resist his ordering tone.
I sometimes wonder that I should be a submissive. I might be an excellent sub, I might be the ruler in BDSM world. God knows how is he controlling me with his voice??
I took a step back and turned to look at him. He had a weird smirk on his face. He came closer by every step he took and breathing raged.
He was standing like real close only an inch away… Before I could control anything, I was already hyperventilating. He chuckled and touched my shoulder and answered,” calm down! Maya”.
I growled managing not to collapse in to pieces in front of him, he had a very intimidating persona,” What do you want from me?”.
He chuckled and said,” calm down… just one night?”…
I was not able to believe my ears did he just said ‘ One night’… Nooooooo
Before I could think twice my hand raised to slap him but he caught my hand.
He took my hand and twisted me and now my back was facing his chest. I was still breathing heavily…
He said,” think before you act…. i won’t your help not what you think… woman… i want a date to escape my parents proposals….”.
I was struggling to get away but he said,” Your answer will affect your company remember?”.
I stomped my feet and said,” with how many women did you try your shitty ideas?”.
“Oh my, you are so feisty… just like I remember” he chuckled. Wait! Just like he remember… what does he mean?
I said in anger,” Leave me… i don’t give a fuck about you and your investment…. i am not coming with you not helping you….”.
He left me and said,” Think twice, I can ruin this almost 50 years old foundation of your lovely office… just because of you…. you have a minute to think”.
“you won’t do anything like that right?”. He smiled and said,” If you agreed to…”.
What kind of man is this….? He is such a hopeless case… i have heard he took over few companies last year…. oh no… where do I stuck myself…. and how would I explain Mr. Mystery….
I was still busy in my reverie when he announced,” You have last 15 seconds…

4″. I stopped him from going ahead and said,” Okay…. stop… i will , promise you won’t pull up any stunts of yours”.
He smiled and said,” Sure, my lady”.
I turned to leave but he pulled me back and said,” I am not that bad.. the way you think….”. He was extremely close and could feel his warm breathe on my face….. He had a very familiar cologne.. but I shook my head and tried to push him away…. But his grip tightened around my waist.
He smiled and said,” thanks for agreeing my lady….” and kissed my cheek. He immediately left after that and I was still standing there dumb and blushing….
Why was I blushing? ….. how would I face Mr. Mystery…. oh… no… such a trouble maker…..
