But the next thing crossed into my mind was, haven't I locked the door in the first place? Then how come a person could enter my office without my knowledge? I don't think I opened the door for them while I was sleeping.

I again looked at the figure and put my head between my palms. Oh, God! Why him?


"Do you have any manners? Or do you want to learn it from anyone else?" I asked irritatingly. He folded his arms against his well-built chest and narrowed his eyes at me.

"Miss Kader, everyone is waiting for you but you are enjoying your time here. Aren't you?" He asked meeting my same irritated tone.

I clenched my jaw but soon it clicked in my mind that he has a point. I would have slept over time.


"You should have informed your P.A or someone else to wake me up. I don't think it's your job, sneaking into someone's office" I said calmly.

He raised his eyebrows and turned his head towards the door. I followed his gaze where he was looking and regretted asking the stupid question.


Juliet and some other new faces were standing near the door. Probably they would have tried to reach me out while I was sleeping like an infant. Shit! How Stupid I am. How could I forget that the door was closed? They can't open it except him. He has everything on his mobile.

I still remember the day when he unlocked my door with his own software where I was trapped inside my room for half a day, unconscious. He has a thing called a magnet that he created when he was in the first year. The magnet takes control of the lock once it is placed just above the lock on the door and he gets easy access to the lock. And he used it for one time, maybe twice a time if I add the earlier incident. He has many software on his phone that he uses for his own needs. He won't use others and won't let them use his.

Okay! I have one more way to accuse him and prove myself.

"Then what for phone Mr. Miller?. At least you have to drop me a message about the meeting or else give me a call. Otherwise barging into someone's door is not an appropriate thing."

"Really!! Miss. Kader. Then please check your phone." I blinked and stood there for a second.

Oh, God! What if I got a text or call from him. Of course, I am going to die out of embarrassment. I took the phone from my purse and scroll down from top to bottom.

I let out a long sigh. "See! I didn't receive any text or call about the meeting." I showed my phone to him. Sure he won't catch me red-handed. If he thinks he is a genius then he must have forgot the thing that I'm smarter than the whole universe.

His facial expressions hadn't changed a bit and I wonder did he see me deleting all the calls and text?

No, he wouldn't have. He was ten feet away from me, so there is no chance. I convinced myself. Before I came back to my sense, the phone in my hand was snatched away by him.

"Give my phone back right now, Mr. Miller." I shouted from my lungs. But he didn't respond instead he showed my phone and I gulped down.

How did he do that? I had deleted the call history and messages before he snatched the phone. But now it was back on the screen as I didn't erase the history.

Ahh!!! Again I forget that these things are under his fingertips.

Someone, please Kill the technology first and I will kill him later.

"Okay! I lied. I am sorry. Give my phone. I will be there in 5 mins." He dropped the phone on my table. I mentally cursed him and went to take my phone but before I could reach the table he took my phone and smirked.

"Who is this? Your childhood pic?" He asked raising his one eyebrow. Second times in a day my heartbeat thundered against my rib cage.

I set Sweety's pic on my wallpaper. He must have seen it. No, it won't happen.

"Everything same... but... the eye colour..." before he could finish his sentence I grabbed the phone from his hand and put it into my pant pockets.

"Can you please leave? We have to attend the meeting." I reminded him, hoping he would let go of the matter.

As expected He turned his heels and walked out of my office. "Shhh!!" I heaved a heavy sigh. I splashed the water on my face and relaxed a bit.

After that, I went to attend the meeting which took 2 hours to end but all the time he was looking at me but this time something flashed on his face. What happened to him? Such a bipolar.

"Riya, may I ask you one thing?" Juliet asked the moment we sat on the chair around the table for lunch.

"Yeah! Sure." I replied.

"By chance, do you know Kayish before you come here?"

To be continued---

"No" I answered without hesitation.

"You sure?" She asked again.

I nodded my head and shoved food into my mouth.

"I think he has some interest in you." I chocked all my food and coughed a little when I heard what she said.

"What do you mean? No way!!" I raised both my hand in the air.

"I don't think. He was looking at you the whole time when he had given a speech."

"Juliet!! If someone is staring at you for a second, that doesn't mean they have fallen for you."

"Then what about the earlier incident? He has personally invited you to the meeting. If he wants he can tell me to inform you, but he didn't."

"So?"

"So, he wants to see you and came with a lame excuse, saying about the meeting." she shrugged her shoulder. Then she squeezed my hand.
