CHAPTER-3 KHUSHI SINGH

Khushi POV

Hello everyone. My name is Khushi Singh. I am 25 years old. I live alone in Mumbai. Yeah! Yeah! Most people wonder how a girl can live alone in a city like Mumbai. I am getting late for my job because of the traffic jam in Mumbai. I work as an Assistant Designer at VS Jewellers. Today, I wore a sky-blue colour Pantsuit with my 4-inch long heels. I hate wearing heels. Mostly, I like wearing wedges or flats. But today I have to wear them. In my workplace, some hate and some are afraid to talk to me. So, they try to interest me as much as they can. Because I always speak with no expression or emotion.

My supervisor, Mr. Nishant Patel, is a nice person in his early 50s. He always tells everyone to do her/his job properly. If we make mistakes, he helps, explains, and corrects us. He treats us like his family and me like his daughter. Because he sponsored my education. I went to his office to give him some files that needed his signature. I knocked on the door and came inside after getting a reply 'Come in'. He was busy checking some files. So, he didn't look up who came in. 

I greeted him like always and said, "Good Morning Sir." Without any expression or emotions.
He said in a tense tone, "Oh, Khushi, it's you. Good morning." 

After seeing the files in my hands, I said, "I need your sign on these files." 

He signed and said, "Now go do your work."

I glared at him and said, "You should read or check the files before you sign these."

"But I trust you, beta."

"No, you should not trust anyone, even if it's me. -He tried to say something But I cut it before he could say something. - No more arguments about it. Alright,"

He signed and motioned for me to leave from there. But, He looked tensed and worried. Like something or someone is bothering him. I respected him. Because he is the only one (except the doctor) who knows what happened to me and what I am going through.

I replied, "Okay, but you tensed any problem. If there is a problem, I can help."

He looked at me after thinking about something, and then he said, "An important client is coming to see the design of the jewellery he ordered. If he gets angry or something goes wrong, he can close this place." I asked what is the problem with it. He said "Last time a girl got fired because she was trying to seduce him. After a very long pursuit, he gives us a second chance. But the person who had to give the presentation had some personal problems. So, he can not make it. Now, I don't know what to do. "


I understand why he is so tense and looking worried. After some a minute of thinking I said, "Okay, I will do it."

He looked at me like I had grown up two horns on my head. And said, "No, you can't because ..." 

But I cut him before he completed his sentence and said, "I will."

By looking at me, he knew there was no point in arguing with me and said, "Okay, you can."
Then I replied, "I will go to my office and start preparing for the presentation. Tell the receptionist to inform me when he comes here."
I left his office. When I was going to the office, I decided to go to the break room. I will eat some sandwiches and have tea with them. I didn't eat anything in the morning. When I reached there, I listened to two girls talking about me.


The first girl said, "I am sure today she will get fired because I will mess with the sample. And she blamed it for ruining the deal and it will be fun to watch it. After that, I will get her position." The second said, "But how is it possible?" I recognize their voices. They're none other than Kajal and Neha. Kajal replied, "Don't worry. I had to take care of everything. I make sure today Mr. Arora doesn't make it. So, Khushi has to give the presentation to the clients." Neha said, "Yeah, I'm sure of it. But what did you do with Mr Arora? Don't forget to promote me to your position of Team Leader. Or should I say Assistant Designer Kajal?" Kajal said, "Nothing I just bribed the doctor to tell him that his mother's condition is serious. Who is admitted to the hospital? He has to come there." Neha said, "WOW Kajal what an idea! Let's go back to work." And they left from there. 

They think they can plan or plot someone against them and discuss it here. Just because CCTV is not working and nobody came here at this time. Too bad, I came here listening to everything and the CCTV is also repaired. Yesterday, I especially waited for a technician to come and repair it. Because of this, I was late to go back to my house. So, everything they said not only was recorded but also heard by me.

I don't know what is their problem with me. From day one I joined here. They were like this with me and created trouble for me. Now I understand why they behave like this. I guess they never thought I would join here as an Assistant Designer.

It's alright I'm ready. Because I already planned a counterattack. And I started going back to the boss's cabin. I knocked on the door and firmly replied, "Come in".


I asked permission to sit down. Because of what I'm going to do, I need his permission. He asked me for something I need. Then I tell him what I listened to. He gets angry and says, "How can they think something like that? I will fire them right away." But I stop him. I told him the plan I had made. After listening to my plan, he was shocked for a second and said, "Okay, go and pursue your plan." I get up, greet him, and start leaving his office. When he suddenly said, "If today they are here and see you like this. They definitely will be proud of you." I just nod at his statement.


I came outside of his office and started doing what I planned. Because nobody can mess with me.
