Maan pretended to go through the file while he was secretly glancing at his two employees flanking his right and left.
On his right sat a 5 feet 5inch dusky skinned, raven haired , hazel eyed Damini Gujral. She was by far the most competent associate editor he had come across. He had heard to her being referred to as cut - throat bitch. Her juniors didn't much like her but unanimously agreed that she knew how to choose the best and bring out the best in them.
To his left sat 5 foot 11 inch, tanned, well built, classically handsome Prithvi Saxena. He had half a dozen female employees drooling over him and ready to turn his wishes into commands. He was a tough task master but was friendly too. His editorial skills were unmatched. Most in the office considered him a suitable candidate for the Chief Editor position .
Damini and Prithvi were Maan's assets and right now they were looking daggers at each other. An after effect of the argument which he had put a stop to just a few minutes ago. Damini and Prithvi argued almost all the time he called both of them for a meeting. Maan was irritated in the beginning but later he noticed something in them which reminded him of the initial days of his love life, they way he and his now wife Geet would bicker and argue. Damini was much more sophisticated than his Geet but both feisty cats when provoked.
These two have all things perfect to make a great couple Maan though mentally
Only if she wasn't a Mrs and he wasn't wearing a wedding band he sighed.
"I think I will decide on which idea is better tomorrow" Maan said breaking their death stare " I am sure you both have families to get to and mine will be waiting up, it's late….see you tomorrow Damini and Prithvi" Maan got up and waved them out.
Both of them reached for the door handle together and glared at each other. Finally Damini won the battle and walked out of the room first. Maan chuckled behind them
10 'o clock the same night…..
Prithvi slumped down on the sofa and switched on the Television. He was in the mood for a nice relaxing movie after the tiring day at his office. Prithvi was one of the rare romantic moods of his what with the music of rain fall in the background and the thought of his beautiful wife. As if on cue he felt a soft form snuggling to his side and pulling his arms of the head rest of the sofa to secure it around her petite waist.
"Find something interesting" she asked in her husky and incredibly seductive (according to him) voice.
He nuzzled her neck before saying.
"Are we in a romantic mood?"
"Hmmm….we are always after the showdown in the office" she said , locking her hazel eyes with his inky black ones.
Prithvi chuckled and placed a kiss on Damini's forehead.
"Mr. Khuranna should've thought twice before hiring the two of us…." he commented looking amused.
"Or we both should've thought twice before applying at the same publishing house" Damini said.
"Well whoever thought that we both will be hired….but no complains…I get to see you everyday" Prithvi said while rubbing up and down her bare arm.
"Well I am not enjoying it much you see. I hate to see the entire female populace drool over you" Damini pouted.
"Some one is royally jealous" Prithvi passed an offhand comment.
Damini began drawing patterns on the exposed part of his chest.
"Can't help it when my husband is so unnaturally sexy" she whispered making Prithvi's inside go mushy.
"You know you have got me right where you want right" he said while pulling her onto his lap.
He claimed her lips in a soft kiss only for her to deepen it. After breaking apart Prithvi sank into thought for a while.
"So whom do you think Mr. Khuranna will select?" he asked eventually
Damini groaned while Prithvi chuckled
"I knew you would come up with this. Baby did you forget what we promised - no office at home. Why don't we give the fights a six months break" she said , making patterns on exposed part of his chest.
"We can keep it away for as long as you want" Prithvi said standing up with Damini still in his arms.
"I love you" Damini said, all her love shining in her hazel eyes "Even when we fight like alley cats in the office"
"Unfortunately for you, I love you too and every time we fight, it takes all my strength to not pull you and kiss you to shut you up" Prithvi replied making his wife giggle.
Soon the bedroom door closed letting the couple drown in their blissful world of passion.
