Karan and Preeta respectively went to their house, and after sometimes both reached.

Preeta's apartment :

Preeta cheerfully entered in room with a good mood. She started to call Lorraine.

Preeta : Lorraine ..... Lorraine ... Lorraine.....Lorraine .....Lorraine .... Lorraine .... Lorraine ... Lorraine .....

But no answer..

Preeta : um...kaha hai maybe bedroom me hogi.

Preeta went in bedroom to see Lorraine sleeping with laptop on, and her head on laptop keys. She sighed seeing her.

Preeta : huhh... Iska sach mein kabhi kuch nahi ho sakta.

She went to her, and carefully laid her on bed, then began to make up the bed being talking to herself.

Preeta : kya yeh Lorraine bhi aaj kal bohot busy rehti hai. Use office ke kaam se chutkara hi nahi mil raha. Kitni sari baten karni hai usse, sari baat batani hai usse. Koi nahin kabhi Na kabhi Ho jayegi wo bhi free.

Preeta then moved towards balcony which is her favorite work. It is her habit to spend some time in balcony before sleeping.

Preeta began to gaze the moon, she closed her eyes feeling the wind.

"Ha...yaar sachme Karan sir se kabhi nazar hi nahi hat-ti hai, wo hai hi itne dashing and handsome."

"Tum us company me kaam karogi preeta, waha ka boss itna khadoos, adiyal...etc...Kya Kya hai, itna accha tumhe Mai Meri company ka offer de Raha hu."

"Ha tujhe nahi pata, wo na ek A.K. industries naam ki company hai, waha ka boss itna khadoos hai Kya baatu. Aur to aur alne employees ke saath acche se baat bhi nahi karta, koi kehta hai, uske employees acche nahi hai, koi kehta hai, wo accha nahi hai.. but God knows."

Suddenly preeta open her eyes with a jerk. She slowly took a deep breath.

Preeta : Preeta, tu Kya Kar rahi hai, mat soch itna uske baare me, Mai paga...l ho...jaa...un..gi...

Suddenly, morning's incident flashed in her mind.

Preeta : (in deep thinking) lekin Kya Sach me wo itna bura hoga, mujhe nahi lagta, aakhir uske employees bhi to aise hai na, mere khayal se use sab pata hoga uske office me Kya Kya hota hai. Lekin uske character ke baare me Mai itna confuse Kyu hu, ha Kal Ghar par bulaaya hai na, Kal uske baare me mujhe waise bhi pata chal hi jaana hai. Khair chod ab.

Preeta stopped the streaming of thoughts and went to sleep.

Karan had also slept in his respective room.

NEXT MORNING

At morning, Karan woke up early unlike to usual routine. He become ready, he was standing in front of mirror.

Karan was setting his hair so nicely, he applied gel in his hairs, he applied perfume that too of attracting fragrance. He properly adjusted his coat and so on....

She entered in his room.

Asmina : (eyeing him from top to bottom) aaj kuch zyaada hi nahi taiyyar hua jaa Raha hai ?? (Still surprised)

Karan : sweetheart...aap Kyu aaye, mujhe bula lete, and Mai kaha itna taiyyar ho Raha hu. (Still busy)

Preeta : (angrily but calmly) ab sir aate saath aap mujhe itna Bina wajah sunaayege, fir mujhe kuch bolne bhi nahi denge, fir Mai dekhu to uspar bhi questioning karenge ? Then I can't do anything then.

Karan : (in attacking mode) accha.. mujhe batane ka kasht karogi aap Maine ek lafz bhi agar bina wajah sunaaya ho to.

Preeta : (sarcastically) nahi nahi sir aapka eek word bhi Bina baat ka nahi tha, aapki Puri baat hi Bina wajah ki thi.

Karan narrowed his eyes at her.

Preeta : (continuing) sir pehli baat to aapne mujhe 9:00 a.m. bulaaya tha, and I am on my time, dekhiye (showing her watch) and abhi hue hai 9:05 a.m. Matlab 5 minutes aapki wajah se time waste hua yaha par, aur aap mujhe suna rahe ho kabse..

Karan angrily yet with stumbled eyes see her, who was already glaring him.

Karan : (with attitude) ha to ok... I am The Karan Luthra, boss of a company, hota hai, abhi andar Chalo.

He turned, and Preeta gave him "I want to kill you" action with her hands.

Preeta : (in mind+frustrated) shukar, andar jaane ka khayal to aaya, warna mujhe laga yahi par sab karwaana hai.

Preeta finally entered in house and walk behind Karan. Karan made her sit on sofa.

Karan : Girish bhaiya, paani le aaiye Zara.

After a couple of minutes, Girish came with water. She took it, when Karan offered her.

Karan : Chalo, we will go in my room and complete it.

Preeta : ok...

They both began to collect their project things, when asmina came near them. She spotted Preeta.
She go to them.

Asmina : Karan....I think yahi hai tumhaari secretary haina.

Karan : yes sweetheart..

Preeta was a little bit annoyed seeing asmina.

Preeta : (in mind) yeh hai kaun aakhir, aur yaha par Karan sir ke ghar tak pohoch gai huhh...

At asmina's taunt, being helpless, Preeta laughed out. To which Karan began to glare her.

Karan : oh hello...miss whatever, badi hasi aa rahi hai. I am your boss remember that.
