Chapter 12 - Meeting Boss

 Mr Shastri and Ridhima arrive at her boss's cabin. Mr Shastri see that she comes here to meet the boss, so he bids her goodbye. 

"Boss, may I come in?" Ridhima questions while coming inside. 

"Yes" Vikram nodded. 

"How are you? Are your injuries healed?" Vikram can't help but question. 

"I am fine, boss. Thank you for asking," Ridhima replied. Then they both don't understand what to say next. Ridhima remembered about the project Amrut and decided to talk with him. But before she could say anything, Samira arrived. 

"Hey Ridhima, how are you?"Samira questions. She got to know about Ridhima's accident and all the other things. But they are just like enemies, so she decided not to visit her. But now she is here, she can't ignore her. 

"I am good, Thanks", Ridhima said. She is now looking at Samira from the perspective of the book. And she must say, Samira is really beautiful and sexy. No doubt her boss and the male lead are too crazy for her. Anyway, she decided not to linger much. She wanted to spend more time with her boss. But she knows her limits. 

"Anyway, I should go, boss. Sayali mam must be waiting for me. I will inform you about our progress later." Ridhima said, and without waiting for Vikram's reply, she left. 

After leaving her boss's cabin, she once again met Mr Shastri. He then invited her for tea in the canteen. 

"My daughter and I argued for a long time, but then we eventually sorted it out. I realised that I also need to focus on my family a little. Mr Shastri has another motive while saying this. He realised that he and Ridhima are too workaholic. He understands his own reason. But talking about Ridhima, she is doing this much because she is in love with her boss. He previously thought that. Ridhima too wanted their boss, because of his look, his money and due to fame. 

 But now that she risks her life for the workers, his view of her has changed. If possible, he wanted to see Ridhima happy. After talking about this matter, they decided to part ways for their respective work. 

 Ridhima understands Mr Shastri's concern for her, and she is happy that he is seeing her in a new light. They are good colleagues, but she understands that he doesn't like her much. But now things are changing slowly. Previously, Ridhima didn't think much about her action. According to her, once she achieves success, no one will look down on her. But now, when she has limited time, she has slowly started to understand what truly matters. 

 "But still, all you want to do is focus on Project Amrut, I mean, you are not doing anything else than that. You love your boss a little too much," Ridhima hears a voice in her head. She doesn't understand what to say, because she is also not clear why she likes her boss too much. But she understands that this is not lust or even attraction. 

 She remembers once she was handling a project, and for that she needed to go for negotiation. Her boss clearly tells her that this will be handled by Mr Shastri. But somehow the time of the meeting changed earlier. Mr Shastri, that time is not in the city, and the project is not big enough to inform her boss. So she went directly to visit this man. But before going there, she informed Mr Shastri about this, and also asked what precautions she could take so they would have a successful negotiation. 

 But when she reached there, she realised why her boss wanted to send Mr Shastri there, that man is extra touchy with her. And at one point, he started to harass her. Ridhimam, that time an inexperienced person, didn't understand what to do. She also didn't want to disappoint Mr Shastri and her boss. But she can't handle it anymore and decided to leave. 

 But that man, whose name she forgot now, held her hand. 

"Stay with me, beauty, for tonight. And I will fulfil your every wish."

"Sir, please, leave me, I am not that type of person" Ridhima can't help but want to cry. She struggles, but her strength has no match for that man. 

"Sir, please", Ridhima once again pleaded to that man. The room is secluded, so no one is there to help her, but before things got worse, someone came inside. 

"Boss...." Ridhima gets so happy seeing Vikram there.

"You....Mr. Vikram....What are you doing here? You don't need to come personally here for this." That man doesn't understand what to say seeing Vikram there. 

"I tell you, don't touch my people. Indeed, we need you, but now that you cross your limits, our cooperation ends here," Her boss told that man, and then he instructed Ridhima to go outside. 

 After that, she didn't know what happened in that room, but only heard the man's cries. Then she sees her boss coming and she follows him. Her boss doesn't utter a single word during their journey. 

"Don't I tell you that this matter will be handled by Mr Shastri?" After some time, Vikram asked her. 

"Yes, boss, but he is not around, so I decided to....." Ridhima wanted to say more, but Vikram glared towards her. 

"You are not even strong. I understand that your motive is good. But if something happens to you, then....Anyway, you are going to join self-defence class from tomorrow," Vikram tells her. Not only this, but he also arranged some other classes for her.

 She can say that her personality has improved because her boss is mentoring her. But he doesn't need to do it. He does many things, big and small, for her, which truly touch her heart. So she can't help but fall for him every single time they meet. 

 "So this is your way to repay him?" The system once again interrupted her, though. 

"Yes, not only repay him. In this world, I really wanted to see two people happy, one is my dad and the second is my boss..., and if I help in Project Amrut, then I will help my boss to relax for at least a few days," Ridhima replied. 

 System can't help but chuckle; now he slowly understands why Ridhima is the chosen one.
