It was Friday evening. Most of the office lights were already out. Kabir sat hunched over a budget report; his specs perched on the bridge of his nose and the glare from the computer reflecting of its glasses.
Kabir let out a frustrated sigh. He removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes, leaning back on the chair. No matter how he looked at it, it made no sense. There was something amiss in the report. The digital data did not match with the reports in front of him. After working on it for three whole hours, he could come up with only one plausible explanation that someone, somewhere had intentionally manipulated with either of the two reports. But who could it be? It was only his first week in the office and he had no intention of making enemies
already
.
In all honestly, after the laborious week he had had, he could just dump the report and join his
gali
friends for a round of beer and poker, their ritual of Friday night. But the report wasn't going anywhere and neither was he.
Running his hands through his already messy hair, he stood up and strode purposefully towards the only other lit cabin in the office. He had to get answers before it was too late and he had no choice other than to ask
Ms. Boss.
------------------------------------------------
Alisha startled as she heard a soft rap on the door. It was late and she hadn't realized that anyone else was in the office. She worked late every day, often being the last person to leave.
She had a merger on Monday and she
sooo
did not want to be interrupted. Letting out an irritated breath, she permitted the person to come in.
Kabir...Kabir Desai. Great! Just great! The one person she did not want to see shows up.
"Mr. Kabir, unless it's not very important, can we discuss whatever you want some other day? Thank you very much. You can see your way out now." She dismisses him with a casual air. Sensing no movement towards the door she sneaks a glance at him and the change in his expression from utter confusion to palpable anger almost made her laugh.
"The door is that way, Mr. Kabir", she says pointing the tip of the pen towards the closed door. Kabir stands there rooted to the spot, breathing heavily. Obviously trying to control his anger, she notices with glee. It felt like ruffling a baby bird's feather, the most that it would do is peck you back. And that is exactly what Kabir Desai was, a baby bird in the field of marketing, an amateur.
Her gaze lingered on his face, slowly going to his ruffled hair, and down to his tie at his neck so carelessly loosened. She noticed the tautness of his plain, white shirt across his chest and the snugness of his trousers across his thighs. Mmmmh....she subconsciously nibbled on the tip of the pen in her hand. She had forgotten how her body reacts to his presence. She squeezed her thighs under the desk trying to ebb the sudden flow of wetness and a wave of pleasure racked through her body. The sudden thrill breaks her out her trance and she looks up.
Kabir could sense her heated gaze on him. Her eyes slowly going south to his crotch. His cock hardened almost immediately seeing the tip of her pink tongue darting out and grazing the pen between her soft succulent lips. The soft clearing of a throat made him look up.
He approached her desk and slowly placed the file on it. His movement so controlled that it reminded Alisha of a robot. Hmmm...so he wasn't completely unfazed by her presence either. It gave her a sense of dark gratification and she realized that she rather liked putting him out of his elements.
"Actually..." he continues,"it is rather important. And I don't think it could wait another day. Umm... the budget report in the database is different from the one in the file", he says enunciating each word and glaring at her pointedly.
Alisha looks at him with an air of nonchalance."So?"
"So?" Kabir says looking perplexed, "
