“Mum, I will be late for my interview. be quick please.” I was in hurry as I did not want to miss this opportunity, if I grab.. it will be a life changing moment and with that I can support my family as well as brother’s tuitions.

“Jane, why can't you wake up early when you know you have got something important to do.” Steven burst because I disturb his sleep.

“Honey, just a minute please I’ll be done”. Mom showed up and disappeared again into her room.

“Gosh! I have no idea how long to wait. I don’t know how to reach there on time” I waited for five minutes and my mother finally showed up.

Jane Mills is a simple girl, not bad in her looks. She is fair but does not care about her look or wear any make-up. She lives her life to the fullest and makes everything and everyday special, with her positive attitude towards life. She is lazy when it comes to dressing up or trying to look pretty unlike other girls.

“Honey, I will drop you at the near by metro. I have a meeting with Stella’s mom, she wants to meet me urgently and tell about something really important.”

Stella is my childhood friend and her mum and my mum are also best friends.

“Ok mom, so shall we leave” they left for their work, Philomin dropped her daughter and rushed for her work.

Jane took the very next metro and was rushing towards her interview. As she arrived, she bumped into a silly stranger, which made her to loose her temper. That Stranger was walking carelessly, as if he owns the whole place.

“Hello, are you blind, can’t you just see and walk. I am already late and you causing trouble here.” She went on complaining as she was busy picking up her file and phone, which fell on the ground when they bumped into each other.

And that stranger kept on staring at Jane without a blink of eyes.

As I saw him staring, I lost my temper and started shouting. It seems that he did not care.. what I said but kept looking at my face.

"Oh.. Damn, hey you.. can't you hear.. are you deaf."

Whats wrong with this man, is he some psycho. Oh, I cannot waste my time on him anymore, better I rush for my interview.

This made Jane think that he must be some psycho, and it will be waste of time, if she continue shouting.

So she left in a hurry for her interview.

“Excuse me! Am here for an interview”. She told at the reception counter.

“Am really sorry to tell you that you are late ma’am, and sir left from office just now”. Said the receptionist.

“Please try and understand, I really need to give this interview, is there any way I can make it”. I pleaded but did not get any response. Just then, right behind me, stood a tall- handsome man, in his thirty.

“Miss! Are you here for an interview?” he spoke in a very melodious voice which bought butterflies in my stomach.

I just stared at that man like a hungry dog, who starts salivating when he sees a bone. Completely numb, I could not utter a single word.

He was so handsome that any girl would not think twice before jumping in his bed. He had not so fair complexion but his charm could melt the heart, if he just smiled once. He was tall and so handsome that it would be impossible to stop looking at him.

He spoke again in little louder voice, which bought me back from dreaming and this time I could reply with a broken words.

“Yes! Yes.. yes.. am here for an interview. Is there anyway I can make it. Please help me, I really need this job”. Somehow I managed to speak.

“Then follow me”. He just ordered.

I started to follow him and we went directly into a huge, shit! Huge won’t describe the look of that room. It was a luxurious one. Perfectly set, with desk in between just behind there was a big glass window, from where you could see the whole city.

“So, you are Jane mills?” he asked with a slight smile.

“y-yesss, yes its me.” I replied with little nervousness.

“hmm! Why do you need this job so badly, would you mind explaining?” He questioned with a blank look.

I knew I could not make it but still I gathered all my efforts and tried being confident.

“Because I need it, and I know am capable for this post” was the only reply I managed with confident.

“What if I say, you are wrong. And you don’t deserve this job because you were late on the very first day” was his reply with little attitude.

Just after saying these words, he started to look directly towards me and I started to feel uncomfortable. It seemed he was doing it on purpose.

Just then I realise how important is this job to me and I had no other option but to open up and speak, telling him how important is this job to me and why I need this job badly.

He kept listening very carefully and at the end he just gave a smile which melt my heart.

“well you win! and you got the job”. Was only thing he said.

I was so happy did not know what to do, and I just bowed in front of him and said, “thank you so much for helping me out”.

As I was leaving from his office, I turned back once again to say thank you, just then I caught him staring at me.

I could not say thank you, but ended up giving a smile. All the way back to home, I kept thinking about my day and felt really lucky. Though so many bad things happen but at the end everything was fine.

Everybody at home where as happy as I was. We had a small celebration just me, dad, mom and Steven.

Next day was the biggest day of my life. As usual I woke up in a hurry, got ready not in any of my best outfits. But with something which I felt was ok for work.

As I reached office, I was led by an employee towards my desk, where I was going to work for the rest of my journey in this company.

“Hello miss Jane”. Came a voice from behind.

And there he was, My boss Robert Gerry, who runs a very well known fashion designing firm.

“Hello sir” I replied in a confusion. As I was above to get up from my chair to greet him, he signalled to sit.

“ I am here to just visit you”, came a soft reply.

“So Jane how about lunch today? Are you occupied.” He asked very gently I could not resist.

“No not at all.” I was little shy this time.

“So shall we go out for a lunch, there is a nice restaurant near by.” He asked.

“Yeah.. sure sir.” I replied with little confusion.

Deep down in my heart I felt something was wrong. Why will a boss treat his employee so nicely, why is he making me feel so special. As I was busy gathering my thoughts. He spoke again.

“ I hope you don’t mind. Its just a business lunch as you are new to our company, I want you to feel free.” He said in one go without a pause, as if he had prepared these sentences before.

“No not at all sir, I am glad to be a part of this company.” I replied.

In the noon, when it was a break time. I went down, near the reception counter to wait for my boss to arrive.

As I reached, I saw that he was already waiting for me. For a moment I thought I was late but then, when I check time I was not.

I rushed towards him and apologized for being late.

“Sorry for being late sir”.

Quickly he replied. “ Noo.. no.. your not, I just finish my work so I came down early”.

We then proceeded for lunch.

As we entered the restaurant, I felt as if I was treated like a princess. It was like a date that any girl would dream about.

Table was already reserved, and every thing was well prepared. As we took our seat, both were equally uncomfortable because we had no idea what to talk.

Just then he spoke. “So tell me about yourself”, was the question that he shoot first.

“About me?” I asked to clarify just in case, I misheard his question.

“Who else is around I would ask.” Came a reply.

“ Sorry sir, well I come from a very simple family, I live with my mom, dad and little brother. I just completed my studies in fashion designing and now here to work for your company…. …. ….”. I went on talking.

Just then I realised that I spoke for really a very long time. And all he did was just listen to me and there I could see a smile, in-fact that was a blush.

Ohhh.. my god, my boss just blushed rather than just getting bored or asking me to shut my mouth. This was first time in history that someone could just listen to me without complaining.

All the while people only complained that I talk a lot and am non-stop, but it's first time someone is listening to me.

“Am sorry sir, am sure I bored you with my stupid talks”, I apologized for being talkative.

“No Jane, that was really interesting, infact I was soo much into you, I mean your words, I really enjoyed listening to you.” Came the reply which I never expected.

“I am falling for this girl every time I see her, I like to spend time with her. She just makes me feel so complete, I feel am in love with her." Robert kept thinking about Jane and he wanted her to feel the same.

He was trying all his efforts to make her feel special and wanted to know, if she too feels the same just like he does.

As he was busy thinking something deeply, Jane broke his thoughts by calling him Sir, and asking, if they can leave soon.

“Sir, if you don’t mind, could we leave sooner. I have to finish my work before I leave from office.” She requested.

“ Yeah sure, lets go then.” He replied.

As we where above to depart, he suddenly asked me. “Jane, you can call me just Robert.”

I was stunned for a moment, will it be appropriate to call my boss just by his name, what would other employees think, who call him boss or sir but me calling him by his name. I was lost in my thoughts, just then he asked.

“Hello, are you dreaming again?”

“No… no sir, nothing. I mean Robert. Anyway thank you for the lunch.”

“ So see you later?”

“Yeah sure sir. I mean Robert.” I felt so embarrassed for doing this mistake again and again.

“It’s alright Jane, see you then”. He laughed and waved a goodbye, and left.

I was still there thinking about the moment that just happened, I don’t know if I was happy or confused. Just then I realised I was getting late for my work, for which I rushed.

I tried avoiding Robert when there where other employees present next to us, because I did not want to call him by his name and let others think something wrong about us.

Somewhere he too knew, why I did this. He always tried to make me feel special, for which I was scared, if this leads to somewhere else.

I decided not to think much about him, as I know the more I think.. more uncomfortable I may feel.

So the best way is to avoid dreaming and also reduce or try it avoid... having an interaction with Robert.

Things were normal as days passed. I had finally decided to meet Stella. It had been a long time, since I had seen her. So we decided to meet at the cafe, where we always met.

“I have so much to talk to Stella.” I thought.

I reached cafe and spotted Stella sitting at a regular table, as I entered.. lady at the café gave me a smile, just like she always did.

“Hello Mrs. Leann, how are you?”

“Am fine darling, after so long.. I see you today. Your friend is over there waiting for you.” Mrs leann answered.

“ Thank you Mrs. Leann, catch you later”.

“ Hey.. Stella.” I rushed towards her.

“ Oh sweetheart.. you’re here, am waiting for a long time. Tell me what’s up, I know I have a lot to listen. Come on start”. she made herself comfortable and signalled me to start my talk.

Stella knows me so well, she does not need an explanation but just with my reaction, she can guess what is going on.

I started narrating everything that happened from the start, how I went for an interview and how I was treated by my boss.. err.. sorry Robert.

She too got the same doubt just like I had.

“Jane, I feel he is in love with you. Why would he treat you differently unlike other employees?”

I was confused after listening to Stella, I wanted to avoid these stuff but how?

“Stella, what do I do now?”

“OK honey let me help you, you are going to give me detailed information.. what ever happens between you both, may be then I can figure out something.”

“Yeah!! That will be a great idea.”

And then we ordered our regular coffee and continued our chit-chat. Just then my eyes caught something I was shocked.

“Stella! look there, he is the same guy.”

“ Who and where?” Stella was totally confused with my sudden reaction.

There was a guy straight to our table, who was looking towards me. He was no one else but the same stranger I encountered.. when I was going for my interview.

“How come he was here?” I spoke loudly.

“Jane, what is wrong with you, what are you talking about and whom. Who is here?” she questioned with little irritated voice.

“Stella, I told you about a psycho, who met on the street when I was going for my interview. He is here right straight to our table and he is looking at us.”

“Am scared if he is really a psycho and came to catch me because I shouted last time?”

“Oh Honey! nothing like that, he does not look like a psycho. Infact he is so handsome. Wish I could date him.” Stella looked at him and smiled.

“Oh noo.. he is the same psycho am telling you. Lets go from here. I think he is following me. What do I do now?” I panicked.

“Ok, if you say so, then lets move.” Stella got up from her seat and we moved out in a hurry.

As we were walking down the street, I checked back again and again.. If he was still following. But there was no trace of anyone.

“Jane, just relax ok. He isn’t following I told you”. She confirmed and comforted me.

“Yeah.. ok then see you tomorrow. I want to rush back home.” I was still worried.

“Sweetheart, should I walk with you till home? You look scared.” she could sense the fear I felt.

“Hmm.. am fine Stella, I think.. I just need some rest that’s all. See you tomorrow.” I bid good-bye to Stella and started walking towards home.
