Chapter 5
- "And he wants everything perfect for him." I finished the sentence for her while she nodded her head as a comprehension.
- "And why do you seem so nervous? Even if he's our new boss that doesn't mean he would swallow you." I joked.
- Her face dropped down. "I'm his personal assistant, how could I not be nervous. I need this job to run my family. He is short-tempered. He almost fired 30 employees even before he took over the position. If I lose my job then my family will come to the road."
- "Calm down. Don't think too much" I patted her shoulder. "I'll be right here if you need me anytime." I assured her.
- "Thank you so much," She said and hugged me. "Well, I have to go. There is a ton of work left. I need to take care of them. See you later." She waved her hand and sprinted towards a room which I assumed was our new boss' office.
- I entered my office and saw everything was neatly arranged in it's assigned place.
- It screamed perfection.....
- As I was looking through the schedule, someone entered my office and set a cup of coffee on my desk. "Here." She said while offering me the drink
- "Juliet, you are his assistant, not mine." I shook my head and rolled my eyes at her.
- "No problem. He won't turn up today. and I just wanted to have coffee with you so......" She trailed off and took the seat beside me.
- "Thanks, Juliet."
- "No formalities. It's my pleasure." She giggled.
- "No, not for the coffee. It's for helping me at the airport. I really appreciated it. So thanks for that." I said sincerely.
- "Ohh that! Nevermind. Your baby is just so cute. The exact replica of yours."
- I smiled at her in agreement. She was right. "Her name is Sweety and yeah she looks a lot like me." I said as we both then busted in a fit of giggles. "And by the way, I don't really drink coffee." I let out my voice.
- "Why?" She asked. Well, who doesn't drink coffee?
- "I'm allergic to coffee that's why."
- "Oh no problem, I will make you tea then." She offered.
- "No Juliet. I'll let you know if I need it." I politely declined. "I'm calling it a day. See you tomorrow." I told her and grabbed my handbag.
- "Riya! Tomorrow is the welcoming ceremony of our new boss, you have to be here for attending the function." She informed while picking the two glass from the table.
- "Positively." I assured her and we both walked out of my office.
- "Nice job, Juliet! I appreciate your hard work." I patted her shoulder once I saw the arrangement on the floor which was so neat and humble and reminded me of someone's personality.
- I put the thought on the back of my mind and smiled at her. "Take care." I told her and walked away without turning back.

- ~~~Past Wind~~~
- Today March 8, we are going to celebrate Women's day and we all know It's solely for girls and all the girls are dressing up like a princess.
- I am wearing a baby blue dress which ended up just below my knees. A thick, yet, fancy belt was wrapped around my waist adding more beauty to my costume.
- The black 3' stiletto has excess the beauty of mine and my dress. Totally I look like an angel. Letting out a sigh of relief, satisfied with my outlook, I grabbed my purse before climbing out of the car.
- I started to walk towards the campus, plastering a huge smile on my face. Dylan Bryce, the senior from our college is going to propose to me.
- He said he has planned the biggest surprise for me and I wonder how exciting it could be. I'm so eager to see him.
- Speaking of him, he's almost 6.5 ' and has cream-colored skin. I wanted to lay my head on his broad chest. Oh, God! I'm daydreaming again.
- He is every girl's dream boy and my ultimate crush from the beginning since I joined the college.
- We used to hang together instead of hooking with our friends. We have a mutual understanding as the sky is always blue, which somehow attracted each other. Girls were so jealous of me but who cares.
- "Hey, Riya!" My friend Claire approached me and gave me a warm hug. "Girl you look so beautiful, no doubt he will go onto his knees the moment he sets his eyes on you." She teased and I blushed red as a tomato.
- "Come on!" I wailed that shut her mouth for good. We both walked together while she was changing the topic one by one and I listened to it half hearty until it ended in the previous day encounter with that boy Kayish.
- "Not now Claire," I warned when she was about to start the conversation about Kayish and his kiss. Still, she is into that incident, never shut her mouth once and I am tired of zipping her mouth.
- "Okay bye. My Romeo has arrived." She waved looking at someone and gave me a quite peck on my cheeks before running away. "Silly girl." I shook my head and started to walk towards the hallway.
- When I saw Dylan talking with his friends near the locker, I almost forgot myself as I was shut by the spell. Adjusting my dress, decided to have a small chit chat, I approached the group. "Hey, Dylan." I called his name. Immediately, his head turned around to see me and I mesmerized by the way how he looked like a real prince charming.
- Once he saw me, he completely froze on the spot like I pour an ice cube on his face. His Green eyes lingered through my body up and down which made my cheeks flush like a tomato for the second time. Oh, God! I am blushing again.
- "Riya, you look amazing. I bet no one would be more beautiful than you. I feel sorry for them." He exclaimed.
- "Shut up Dylan!" I playfully hit his arm. "Heeeehh." With a sheepish smile, he hooked my arm and led me further.
- "Shall we go?" He asked, his mesmerizing beautiful eyes are solely on me.
