6 Appointment Order
Part 6 Appointment Order
Arnav and Khushi were struck by the sight of each other. Arnav was sure that she was there for an interview, but Khushi didn't know who he was! She didn't know how to react, whether to talk to him or not. Seeing her standing like a statue, Arnav understood her state. So, he took the lead.
"Hi, what a surprise! You here for the interview?" He asked.
Khushi smiled brightly feeling relieved, and Arnav saw relaxation on her face.
"Yeah... I'm here for an interview, but I didn't expect you to be here. It's indeed a pleasant surprise for me too." She said, coming to the jovial mood.
"Take your seat..." Arnav pointed at the chair in front of him.
Khushi sat on it. Arnav extended his hand asking for her file. She gave it to him. He smiled, seeing her name. KHUSHI... Happiness... Suitable name, he supposed.
"I was so nervous before coming here. After seeing you, I'm so relaxed..."
"Why were you nervous?"
"Because I heard this is a reputable company, and getting a job here is not a simple thing. But, now I'm relieved because a cool person like you is here..."
Arnav smiled.
Aman was looking at them like, WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? Arnav and cool? He knew Lavanya's friend's name was Khushi, but he didn't know she was familiar with the MD himself.
"Did you buy a gift for your friend that day?" Arnav asked, trying to fit into the COOL PERSON image.
"Yeah, of course..."
"What? Teddy bear or a Barbie doll?" He asked teasingly.
Khushi chuckled.
"Of course, I liked them, but I bought her an ALEXA..."
"Alexa?"
"Yes... She liked it when I bought it as a gift for my friend's wedding. It will do whatever we ask for..."
"I see..."
"Who referred you to our company?" Arnav asked flipping the file.
"My friend... Lavanya... Her brother is working here."
Arnav was struck and looked at Aman, like, is it you?
Aman slightly nodded.
"I see..."
Aman was surprised as Arnav didn't tell her he was Lavanya's brother.
"But, I didn't expect the same handsome man who gave me the rose would be here..."
Aman frowned at Arnav like, ROSE? Arnav looked at his expression, through the corner of his eyes, controlling his laughter.
"I told Lavanya about you too..." She said.
"Really?" Arnav raised his brows.
She nodded.
"What did you tell her about me?"
"I told her everything... And also you looked handsome."
Arnav smiled.
"I don't know you are also working here..."
Aman was supposed to tell her who Arnav was, but Arnav pressed his thigh and controlled him, which surprised Aman more.
"Do you know for what post you applied?" Arnav questioned.
"PA to your MD..."
"Do you think you are eligible for the post?" Arnav smiled.
"Of course, I can do any job efficiently." She said confidently.
"Do you have any experience?"
"I worked in an MNC for two years..."
"Did you resign from the job?"
"No... They terminated a few. I'm one among them..."
"Why?"
"They didn't tell us the reason... We just received a message..."
"Didn't you question the management?"
"We can't even enter the office because we can't access our cards..."
"Oh... Is this how the MNC works...?"
She sighed.
"Master's in economics?" Arnav asked looking at her file.
She nodded yes.
"I'm doing my PhD..."
"That's great... You are appointed..."
"Whaaat?" She asked unbelievably.
Aman looked at him as if he were a ghost. What did Arnav just say? Did he appoint a girl without even asking a single question? What the hell was happening here?
"I said, you are appointed..." Arnav repeated, not only for Khushi but also for Aman because he knew his state of mind.
"But, you didn't ask me any questions..."
"What have I done so far?"
"Is it enough?"
He nodded.
"Won't your MD question you for appointing me?"
He nodded no.
"Why?"
Before he said anything, Aman took the lead as he could not hold himself.
"It's because, he is the MD of this company..."
Khushi widened her eyes.
"M... D...?" She asked.
Arnav smiled. Khushi gulped hard.
"Why? Won't I be an MD?"
"No, no... I just am surprised... But, I expected you to be in a good position..."
"Really? How?"
"It's because you behaved so gently... Looked majestic... You didn't even ask my name. I liked it."
Arnav was struck because he regretted not asking for her name. Thank God, he didn't. It seemed he would have lost his respect if he had asked her name.
"That means, you would have thought me wrongly if I had asked your name?" He asked.
"Not exactly... Because I liked your way of talking..."
"What way?"
"You maintained your distance from me even though I blabbered a lot..."
"Why did you blabber a lot?" He chuckled.
"Yeah, I should not do that. Lavanya always sells me on talking to strangers..."
Aman smiled proudly, thinking about his sister.
"I promised her that I will not do it again..."
"So, would not you have talked to me if we had met again?"
"I think no..."
"Why?"
"Because you are not a stranger... We knew each other..."
Aman became weary. He thought she talked to Arnav casually only because she didn't know he was the MD but she did the same after knowing the truth also. He didn't know what kind she was. He didn't know Lavanya had such a crazy friend. What surprised him more was, Arnav's reaction to her action. She said he gave her Rose. He could not believe that even though it was HER flower. And Arnav asked her about the gift she bought for her friend. When and where did they meet? How did they talk this much? Arnav never entertained anyone who was a chatterbox. He didn't like over talking person. Then, what made him entertain her?
"That's great to hear... Get the appointment order from my manager, Aman..." Arnav pointed at Aman.
"Aman? That means you are Lavanya's brother..." Khushi asked, bewildered.
Aman nodded
"Why didn't you tell me that? See, even your MD broke the egg..."
Aman tried to say something, but he stopped, as Arnav answered.
"Just to surprise you... Isn't it fun?"
Aman looked at him in surprise. FUN? What happened to Arnav? Was he really Arnav?
"My God, everyone in this office is so interesting. I like this office so much..." She chuckled.
"Join from tomorrow..." Arnav gave the file back.
"Thank you, sir. I'm so eager to work with you." She left.
Aman looked at Arnav with a weird expression. Arnav controlled his laughter.
"Forget that we are in the office... Excuse me..." Aman pinched Arnav.
"What the..." He rubbed his hand.
"Thank God, I heard WHAT THE from you. You are undoubtedly Arnav."
Arnav stood up smilingly.
"What happened here? She said you gave a flower..."
"She was wearing a flower and it fell. I just gave it to her..."
"From when did you bother about flowers and all?"
Arnav smiled.
"This is not Arnav's style. I thought you might be your cloning..."
Arnav laughed.
"From when did you start concentrating on something you never did before?"
"From the time, I touched death..."
Aman was struck.
"Isn't life beautiful? We can die anytime. Anyone can kill us the next minute too. Then why should we be rigid all the time? You know how lively Khushi is! She talked to me casually, but at the same time, she didn't disclose any personal details about herself. The day when I met her, I realised why we are not just like her."
"This is why you liked at her?"
"No... She helped her neighbour's girl who was wounded. She took the girl to the hospital when no one else didn't do it."
Now, Aman understood what made Arnav listen to Khushi's blabber. He sensed a change in Arnav after he was attacked.
"Don't you know she is Lavanya's friend?"
"I know Lavanya has a friend named Khushi but I didn't know she would be crazy..."
Arnav chulcked.
"She might be crazy but so true... No pretext in her words..."
Aman nodded.
"Go and give her appointment order."
"Do you think her compassion is enough to be your PA?"
"Many attended the interview. Are you satisfied with any?"
Aman nodded no.
"I too... All said, they would be loyal, sincere, and dedicated... But this girl is true. She accepted that the previous company terminated her. She didn't try to cover it up nor did she accuse the company. That's what loyalty is..."
Aman nodded.
"Go, she would be waiting..."
"I don't think she would feel bored. She would have started talking with someone..." Aman chuckled.
"It doesn't mean we can make her wait."
Aman nodded and came out. He saw her talking to the receptionist. He went to his cabin smilingly.
"I'm Khushi. Arnav Sir's new PA. Waiting for an appointment order,"
"Oh, congratulations, madam..." The receptionist wished her.
"Thank you... And, you are?"
"Sowmiya..."
"Nice to meet you, Sowmiya..."
"Nice meeting you..."
Khushi came in again and removed her phone. She dialled Lavanya. She attended the call.
"Hi, Khushi... What happened to your interview?"
"I'm selected..."
"Wow... Congratulations..." She shouted in joy.
"Thank you so much for referring this company, Lavanya... I liked this company so much..."
"Don't hurry. Tell me that after meeting the MD..."
"I have already met him. He is the one who conducted the interview..."
"Still, do you like the company?"
"That's why I liked the company..."
"It's because he is handsome?"
"Not only that, he is so cool..."
"What are you saying Khushi? Arnav and cool?"
"Yes... And, one more surprise. Arnav is the same man I met the other day. He was the one who gave me the fallen flower."
"Whaaaat? Was that Arnav?"
"Yes..."
"No way, Khushi... Check it once, if he is REALLY Arnav. Because Arnav is not that kind. He is a workaholic. He won't waste time on unnecessary conversations. He thinks time is precious."
"Am I looking like an idiot or what?" Khushi asked.
"You are indeed an idiot..."
Khushi dropped her jaw.
"Oh... I'm going to get an appointment order from none other than your brother. He was with Arnav when I gave an interview. Ask him if you don't trust me."
Lavanya was confused.
"Are you sure, Khushi?"
"Cent per cent sure... I think, now you will agree with me."
"What?"
"The man whom I met is damn handsome and worthy to drool over..." She chuckled.
Lavanya laughed.
"Be careful. Arnav's mood will not be the same all the time."
"Yes, madam..." She disconnected the call and turned behind.
Her eyes widened, seeing Arnav standing with a smile. She grinned awkwardly.
"Was that Lavanya on call...?"
Khushi nodded slowly.
"What did you tell her?"
Khushi didn't know what he was asking.
"Did you hear what I talked to her?"
He nodded.
"Did you hear EVERYTHING?" She shed hesitatingly.
He again nodded yes. She sighed.
"Then, there is nothing to be hidden. I said you are so handsome and worthy to drool over..." She said that amazed Arnav.
"I think I should reconsider my decision of appointing you as my PA..."
"Why, sir?" She bit her nail.
"What if you forget to do the work in the midst of drooling over me?" He asked seriously.
"You don't need to bother about it, sir. I will do the work first and then only drool over..." She chuckled.
Arnav rolled his eyes smiling.
"It will be good for our company..."
"Am I still in...?"
He nodded.
"Thank you so much, sir..."
"Good luck..."
"Thank you sir..." She said excitedly.
Aman came with her appointment order. He extended it to Arnav. Taking it, he signed it. He gave it to Khushi.
"For three days, from tomorrow, our assistant manager will train you. After that, you can start your job as an MD's PA." Aman said.
Khushi nodded ok and was supposed to leave but Arnav called her. She looked at him.
"There is an ice cream shop in the next complex..."
Khushi was stuck for a while. She understood what he meant. She nodded ok, chuckling and left.
"Ice cream?" Aman questioned.
"She said she eats ice cream if she is..."
Cutting him off,
"Happy?"
"Not only happy, when she is stressed, confused, angry, etc., etc.,"
"Oh... Did she tell you about her ice cream eating habit too?"
"She just did..." Arnav headed to his cabin.
Aman stood in confusion as he could not come to a conclusion. He knew Arnav was not like this. This was not his nature. Just because she helped a girl, he would not have attracted. Something must be there. Aman thought.
To be continued...
