As he asked, I verified the file and asked Juliet to submit the file on his table. Juliet is very helpful throughout the whole week.

But what bothering me is she seems distracted sometimes, but whenever I asked her a question she simply shook her head and get back into her work mode.


Harith is also helped me to go through the full file. He has multiple talents that he never ever showed before but I realized that he is full of talents and hard work and I regretted judging him so easily.

He is a playboy that everyone aware of that but he is so sincere when it comes to work like his As*hole friend.

I finished my work with the help of Juliet's experience and Harith's knowledge those two are lack in my system.


I just gave the file to their respective HR team as Harith told me to do and asked them to finish it before Thursday. They split the file and send them to their Team Lead to verify.

That's how the 10000 profile has been split into 100 teams, each has 100 profiles. They finished their work in time and now it's on his table.


"Thank you, Juliet." I hugged her but she was out of her thoughts. She gave me a smile which didn't reach her ears. Something bothering her.

Harith raised an eyebrow "Where is my hug?" He asked pouting his lips like a child. I gave him a bone-crushing hug and pinched his cheek but a pair of blue eyes got my attention.

He was throwing a hard glare towards our direction but I couldn't tell exactly where he has thrown or to whom.

"Okay let's go. I will buy you lunch." Harith grabbed both of our arms and dragged us inside the elevator unaware of his friend was watching over us.

Juliet was silent throughout the whole time and again it's bothering me. I wanted to ask her what happened but she would tell me if it is the right time.

So I pushed the question from my mind and enjoyed the lunch which was Pizza, Chicken, Chicken curry, French fries, Chips, Orange juice, Milkshakes, Momos, chocolate cake, fruit salad, and lemon soda.

These are ordered by Harith saying he skipped his breakfast and wanted to add that too in his lunch. We chatted for a long and get to know each other.

One month and a week passed but it seems yesterday when I stepped inside the company knowing to face him again but I found another way and feel good now.

He tried his best to get my attention but I made my mind clear that I never give him a chance to get his way. He didn't fail to give me a complex task but I solved all the puzzles that he has given me and submit the file on his table before the due time.

He may expect me in his office to submit the file and may think to start his crazy shit but it was Juliet who did a favour to me and faced him all day.

Yesterday he asked me to go with him to the party which one of his Clients invited him for the success of his project which will be on the coming Friday.

As usual, I declined his offer and asked Juliet to attend the party which she accepted her wholeheartedly.

For this one month and a week, I didn't see him personally nor made any eye contact. Juliet was between us like a bridge and it made things go easy for me but not for him.

Once I entered this building, I locked myself inside my office and do my work until I finish and handed the file to Juliet. She would take care of the remaining things. This is how I managed to survive here and it became my regular routine.

I greeted Payal and entered the elevator. As usual most of the employees kept their distance from me especially men but who cares. They are cowards who don't have any self conflicts.

When I stepped out of the elevator I came to meet the red puffy eyes which belong to the familiar face of Juliet. Harith was standing beside her wearing a worried expression on his face.

"Juliet." I called her name but she ran away through the exist. I furrowed my brows. What happened to her?

Reading my mind Harith answered me, "She lost her job."

"What?" I asked not believing what I heard.

He inhaled deeply and said the words which caused my blood boils in anger. "He fired her."

"Don't stress around, eat healthy food, follow your meditation on time, do regular checkups and one more thing don't do any work that hurt you and the baby." I heard Kayish lecturing to his sister about being careful.

Yesterday Rachel informed us that she is pregnant with a healthy baby and when I asked about how far she told eight weeks along. Kayish is so happy when he heard the news and went to cloud nine. He going to become an uncle made him nervous and excited at the same time.

He continued his lectures about what to do and don't to do as he is a doctor and an expert for advising the pregnant woman.

I pulled the bedsheets over my head and wrapped my arm around his waist. My eyelids get heavy and I closed my eyes. I didn't get enough sleep at night; he was so rough yesterday it's seemed like a punishment.

Punishment for what?

Wearing a strapless dress for the party, but I didn't even attend the party. Poor Claire she must have waited for me as long time.

I didn't get the chance to inform her about my situation. Claire's cousin Derek Walson is going to abroad for his higher studies. So he planned to throw a party at his home as a Thanksgiving.

Claire invited us to attend the party but he had some work to finish so he refused to come with us. Claire takes this as a good opportunity and sent me a breathtaking gorgeous dress which costs a lot than I think.

The light peach-coloured dress with the golden colour button on the centre has no strapless and ended just above my knees which hugged my body perfectly. I immediately fell in love with this dress.
