Chapter 4
Armaan's POV:
I ran my fingers on the intercom to connect the call immediately to the advocate of G&M's . I ordered him to come in his cabin immediately, and alike other employees, how the advocate could have said 'NO' to me.
"How dare you not informing me and yourself prepared the legal papers for that 2 pice girl's job", i screamed out loud.
"Sir! Woh...woh", be stutered a bit, "Complete yourself dammit and stop stuttering", I immediately answered him back.
The advocate take a deep breath and replied, "Ms. Gupta has ordered me to prepare the papers and being an employee I could not denied her"
I was not shocked but surprised that why this girl was so affected with this...this Shilpa Malhotra and was taking such big steps for her.
Shilpa's POV:
I was sipping the first sip of caffeine from the mug of coffee, when he banged his fist tightly and forcefully on the table of Riddhima, which resulted the caffeine spilled on my dress.
"What the hell?", I immediately reacted.
"You just shut up Ms...Ms. whatever" he said Ms. Whatever as if he has forgotten my name or was pretending to, at which my mouth opened in a perfect O shape.
He clenched his jaw looked towards Riddhima, "how dare you? Why did you do this to me Ridz...",he stopped in between and completed, "Ms. Riddhima Gupta!!"
"Kya bol rahe ho Armaan? What do you want to say?", Riddhima snapped back.
"What do I wanted to say? Really!! You are wanna saying this", He again reacted harshly.
I was quiet unaware what he want to say and why. And the same time Riddhima screamed, "this is office Armaan. Tell me what do you want to say but in a proper behaviour. Did you get that?"
He looked at me curtly and again looked at her,"tumne adv.bhandari ko kehke iske iske...papers banwaye so that i would not be able to deny her as my P.A.?", he pointed towards me and screamed at her.
Riddhima folded her hand on her chest and asked,"yes! So what?"
"What do you mean by so what? You took her side, a girl who is good for nothing. The one who is here, to revenge me...Me...your so called best friend...do you get me or not", he screamed in a single breath and stopped for a while and continued in a low tone, "or as if I am a no more best friend of mine. Tell me dammit!"
Listening this she remained aghast and she replied in a low tone as well, "what do you think?
"I think that you and your so called ethics could not see me firing her and that is why you broke the promise of friendship and yes it was my fault but, I had to ans..." but then he realised that he has confessed the reality of his fault and he stopped in between.
Armaan's POV:
I spilled out the reality infront of that girl, without realising what was I saying but then realised and stopped. I only did not wanted to loose my only best friend.
I was so insecure about the fact that Ridz took that random girl's side not mine. She took her back to made me confess the fact that why did I offered that girl the job of P.A. instead of the job she literally deserved. But what has happened has happened. Now she was my P.A. on legal papers and nothing was in my hands and I had to bear her daily.
But still being Armaan Mallik, a stubborn business tried again, "keep your ethics with yourself Riddhima, the fact is that, this is the way business runs... I was answerable to Mr. Gupta and other shareholders. By not giving shelter to any good-for-nothing people", my point was towards that Shilpa Malhotra.
"But you cannot change the papers, and if you can take that so called executive officer back then even I can take the Shilpa back, at least she is far better than Sinha", she spilled one single breath.
"And you are very happy with ...", but before I could continue, someone intervene, "Arey bhai! Office mein bhi jhagada, not done"
"PaPa/Uncle", both me and Riddhima said in unison, both of us were in surprised, because he has reached the office without even informing.
She hugged her dad tightly and touched his feet and then hugged him decently. I have always found solace in his arms. But this time both me and Riddhima were in delema, about has he heard anything or not.
Shilpa's POV:
He looked at me and asked Armaan about who am I. Armaan introduced me and Mr. Gupta shook hands with me, who shared few habits of Riddhima and Armaan, that how they used to fight with each other from childhood, and how they were fighting now as well.
Riddhima and Armaan took a deep breath which I noticed, that Mr.Gupta has heard nothing about what his children were arguing and fighting for. This was the first when I thought, that I have came between the two best friends and their honesty.
But then I realized that it was Riddhima who wanted me to act to take revenge from her best friend, only with the motive to teach a lesson to him, and this can be done by a true friend.
I was in lala land of mine when Mr. Gupta took me back with a jerk, "Hello Ms."
"Yeah!", I jerked in thoughts of mine and replied, "Yes sir!"
"May I know your name?"
"Yeah! why not? I am Shilpa Malhotra"
"So Ms. Malhotra you have to deal with the most stubborn and childish person of the universe, Mr. Armaan Mallik, all the best for that", he again shook hand with mine and chuckled a little at which we three smiled a little.
After few seconds I left the spot to give the family space and I had any idea very well, that THE ARMAAN MALLIK was not sitting with empty mind, he will be sitting in search of an idea of how to make me unwanted or incompetent according to the clause of the legal papers, and i was sure about that.
Armaan's POV:
I exited the cabin of Riddhima's, I wanted to let them spend time together, but the point was eating my brain was, how should I fire HER from the job, as in because according to legal clauses I could not fire her for without letting her join the job for at least one month, so as she could not leave the job before one whole month, and if any of us do not follow this clause, we had to pay fine for breaching the contract.
But the girl does not know, that from whom she was dealing. The man is Armaan Mallik, the one who has dealt with thousands of people like her. I knew being a successful businessman that every contract has a loophole, so this one might have been.
I pushed the door of my cabin, settled on the chair and suddenly a grin creep on my lips. I have understood what the hell can I do for winning the battle, after all I am a lion, and she is just an ordinary girl, who can never win from Armaan Mallik.
Shilpas POV:
I was wiping the coffee stain from the water in the washroom of the office, when a shadow imprint on the mirror which jerked me.
"What the hell are you doing here? Do you have any idea this is female washroom?", I clenched my jaw and immediately reacted to the person.
The person stepped ahead and pinned me to the wall, "Oh really! this is whole building is mine, I can go anywhere at anytime, any problem", he reacted looking into my eyes and jerked her back, "Behave yourself Mr. Mallik! It might be your office, but you does not owe me", I too answered back confidently and courageously.
"Oh yeah!! yaad rakhna tum yaha apni marzi se aayi ho, jaogi meri marzi se", he caressed his back of palm on my cheek which disgusted me.
"We will see . Sir!", I emphasized the word Sir and left the washroom immediately, leaving him grinning.
Armaan's POV:
She immediately exited the office, and I was curious to deal with her. She might also be very curious what was I going to do with her but, I was the most curious one. The battle she started, I wanted to end my victory. Huh! tomorrow may be going to the best day of my life, in which she is going too loose.
