Aasha's Pov

In meeting hall….. After One and half hour…… 

 "So Mr. Monohar you are saying that our company employees didn't work hard enough for this project. So that's why we lost this project, right? Do you think I am a fool, ha? Do you think I don't know anything that's happening in my company? Do you think I don't know about the money that transferred to your account from our rival company? Am I looking like a blind man? Tell me you damn it. You sold our important project detail to our rival and spoiled our employee's hard work. Now you have the guts to blame on my loyal employees. How dare you to cheat me? Working in my own company you dare to betray me?" Mr. Malhotra is roaring like a lion.

When Mr. Mehra said I couldn't understand his words. But now yes I agree with him. He transformed into a beast. Everyone in the meeting hall is trembling in fear. Mr. Monohar is sweating in front of Mr. Malhotra. Even I am also shaking in fear, hearing his thunderous voice. But Mr. Mehra is sitting very calmly. When I saw him, he gave me a 'I told you already' look.

"I hate betrayers. Now you will face the consequences for playing with Dev Malhotra, Mr. Manohar. You are going to rot in jail for backstabbing me. It's a lesson for everyone if anyone tries to betray me. You all are under my eye watch. One single mistake, you all are gone" he said in his threatening voice. 

"Please, sir. I won't repeat my mistake. Give me a chance, sir" Mr. Manohar pleaded to Mr. Malhotra.

"I already gave you a lot of chances. Now it's time to for your punishment. And look everyone, if anyone desire to work with my rival company, go get your termination letter from the reception area. I won't force anyone to work in my company. But if I find any betrayers again in my company, I will make sure to bring him to street. Got it?" he slammed the table with his fist. I yelped in fear. Because I am sitting near his chair. So when he slammed the table, I got startled. Mr. Malhotra looked at me. Then his eyes softened at me.

I averted my gaze to my lap. Who knows, what he will do next. He must be searching for is next prey. I don't want to be his next prey. 

"No sir, we all will remain loyal to you" everyone said in their trembling, voice. 

"Let's see how many of you will remain loyal to me in the future" he said in his deadly voice. 

"Mr. Monahar, you can leave my office building" he said calmly. Mr. Manohar left the meeting hall with his head hung down. Then again the meeting continued.

Suddenly I felt someone's hand on my knee. I turned to my right side. Mr. Khanna, he is in his late twenties, giving me a creepy smile. Even after hearing Mr. Malhotra's words, he has the guts to act creepily. Everyone is still trembeling in fear but this guy, I sighed. I jerked his hand away and gave a stern glare to him.

I was taking important notes on my laptop. After few minutes, he again out his hand on my thigh. Anger started to building in me. All i saw is red. I would have teached him a lesson the moment when he placed his hand on my knees. But i just controlled myself. Because i don't want to disturb the meeting. But not now. Today he is gone. I got up from my place and gave a tight slap on his cheeks. I slapped him very hard that i can see my handprints on his cheek. Everything went silent. 

He looked very shock. Of course he didn't expected this from me. Eveyone in the meeting hall is looking me with their wide eyes. Suddenly Mr. Malhotra came to my side and took my hands in his gently. 

"What happened, Aasha? What did he do?" he asked me. His face is full of concern. 

"Nothing, sir. Just Mr. Khanna said that there is a mosquito on his cheek. So i just helped him to shoo the mosquito. Isn't it Mr. Khanna?" i asked, turning to his side with a sarcastic smile playing on my lips.

He nodded his head in 'yes' frantically. He looked very terrified. I suddenly had the urge to laugh at his facial expression. When i turned to look at Mr. Malhotra, he was boiling in anger. His eyes are red in anger. I can feel the tension in the air. Mr. Khanna is trembling in front of Mr. Malhotra. I already felt guilty for spoiling the meeting. I just want to leave the hall as soon as possible. 

"Sir, i will bring coffee for you" saying this i left the hall before he could say anything. I straightly went to my cabin. I drank a whole glass of water to calm my nerves. I already got startled to witness Mr. Malhotra's temper. I never thought that he is this much ruthless.

Everyone including me also struggled to breath in front of Mr. Malhotra. He was watching everyones actions very sharply like a hawk. Evryone was afraid to even gulp their saliva. 

More than that Mr. Khanna. He really has adaucity to behave like that to me that too in the meeting hall, in front of his boss. Men like him exist in this world who treats women like a trash. I suddenly remembered his facial expression when i slapped him on his face. The shock on his face is really worth watching. I started to laugh remembering his frightened face while sitting on my seat. 

Suddenly Mr. Malhotra entered my cabin with a clenched jaw. I got up from my seat with a jerk. He came to my side and hugged me tightly. I just can't understand whats happening for a moment. Soon i recovered from the shock and struggled to get away from his grip. But he only tightened his grip. 

"What did he do? Did he tried to misbehave with you?" he asked, cupping my face in his warm hands. I only blinked at him not knowing what to say. 

"Tell me, Aasha. Are you alright?  Did that bastard hurt you?" he asked me with a clenched jaw. 

"No. No sir. I.. I am fine" i said in my soft voice. 

"What he did? Tell me now" he asked me with his deadly voice which sent chill down to my spine. He looks like he is going to kill someone. I gulped at him. 

"He… he did nothing, sir" i said looking down. 

"You think i will believe your that stupid musquito excuse? Now tell me, Aasha" he asked me, holding my shloulder tightly but not in a hurting manner. He is now shaking in anger. But he is trying to talk to me in his calm voice. Its looks like in any moment he can loss his cool. I don't want to take any risk. So i decided to tell him what happened.

"First he tried to touch my knees then he touched my thighs. Thats why i slapped him" i said this all in one go. 

"That bastard. How dare he touch you? He will regret for his action today. He will regret for touching you" he pressed his lips on my forehead and left my cabin like a storm. I huffed in relief. 

He looks like a valcona when he is angry. This is the first time i am seeing him this furious. In office he always maintains cold with a expressionless face. But he is full of mischievous when he is with me.  He always teases me and pulls my legs. Today, he became a beast. I think he has a mutiple personality disorder i guess. 

Now its the lunch time. Mr. Malhotra is no where to be seen. I don't know where he went. He was very furious and didn't return to his cabin till now. Mr. Mehra is not in his cabin. Ramesh Mr. Mehra's PA said that they both are out for some business. Shreya came to my cabin.

Hey Aasha! Is everything alright? You came out of the meeting hall before the meeting could end and also ran to your cabin. Mr. Malhotra looks so furious. So i was tensed" she said while sitting opposite to me. 

"Come i will tell you everything" saying this i dragged her along with me to the cafeteria.
