Episode 1

??: i know I can't make it in time, I'll be so freaking late.

I panicked while sitting in the train, the person on the other side of the phone spoke. it was my boyfriend Soumadip.

SD: Stop working, nothing will go wrong Puja.

Puja: okay, I'm hanging the call, I need to relax.

SD: Okay let me know when you reach.

I didn't reply and cut the call. Right now I'm on my way to an interview. Almost a year after I finally found a good job and it was all thanks to my boyfriend. Not Gonna Lie he made so much effort in finding me this job.

So, I'm Puja, Puja Dutta, 23 years old and desperate for a job. Currently, I'm dating my ex-boyfriend who's kind of obsessed with me and the bitch inside me doesn't like it.

It took almost 50 minutes to reach my destined station. I got off the train and made a call to the woman who recommended my name for this job.

W: Hello

Me: hello, I'm Puja, I've reached the station, can you please tell me the exact location.

she made a pause then said.

W: wait I'm sending you a number, contact him for the address.

Me: okay, thanks.

I stood there for a moment when my phone ting with a notification, She sent me the contact information.

I open my WhatsApp to see a name written above the number.

CHIRANJIT DAS

I copied the number and made the call, after ringing for some seconds I heard a voice from the other side. A man's voice, deep and kind of scary

CJ: Hello

I gulp at the deep voice and speak.

Me: Hello, I'm Puja Dutta, I had an interview for ****,

CJ: okay.

Me: so, I'm standing outside the station, can you please give the address?

CJ: yeah, take an auto to the **** and call me after you reach. And make sure to write Chiranjit at the top of your CV.

His said in calm voice, By his voice I can tell he's an old man in his 40s, but hIs voice screams dominance.

My eyes widened at the thought and hit my head to gain my consciousness. Did I just daydream about an older man?

I shook my head out of thoughts and did as he told me. i totally forgot to inform my boyfriend.

After 15 minutes or so I stepped out of the auto and found myself in front of a building. I took a deep breath and walked inside while dialing the same number.

Me: sir I'm right outside, where should I go?

CJ: ask someone the direction of the canteen. Come from the back side.

ME: okay sir.

He cut the call making me sigh. After a moment I somehow found the back gate of the building. There was a guard, I went to him and asked.

Me: can I know where the canteen is?

He nodded and pointed upstairs. I said a little thanks to him and went upstairs. There was a long hallway with many doors, but thankfully the first door was slightly opened.

I peeked a little to see what was going on there as many girls and boys were sitting inside. I immediately understand this is the canteen I was looking for.

Being an introvert, I'm bad in interacting with humans. I instantly felt anxious. My palms were sweating in frustration, I had no confidence left in me. I turn around to leave but then the picture of me being unemployed scares me more than anything.

I face the door again and take a long breath before I open the door and enter.

I didn't look up as my eyes were busy counting the marbles on the floor. I spot an empty and sit there, unaware of the presence of two men right beside my table. The instant regret crept inside me when I heard those scary voices and questions of those two interviewers.

Running away was still an option for me but I went against it and kept myself seated.

There were almost 10 interns beside me, Suddenly the girl beside me talked.

G: nervous?

I swear the bitch inside me will never admit how scared and nervous I was. so I shake my head as no.

Me: Not at all.

I pretend to be confident and it kind of helps me. I was in my zone when one of the interviewers rose from his seat to attend a call. As soon as he spoke my head snapped towards the voice. He was standing in front of me while talking on the phone.

I could only see his back side, it was broad like those gym rats. I had to admit his back profile was excellent. I kept my eyes on him, waiting for him to turn around but the moment he did, my breath got stuck in my throat.

I found myself unable to breathe, He was Simply Handsome. I was mesmerized by his features. Sharp and defined eyes, messy black and light brown hair with a big beard, big frame like a Manly man, tall and a look of roughness. He stands powerfully in a wine red shirt and formal pants.

His existence screams one word inside my head "VILLAIN" He gives of that energy.

I'm never the type of woman who ran aft

er man but God forbid me I was trapped in him. as if my eyes were stuck on him, I was unable to look away.

He was unaware of my presence and I wasn't even a bit sad about it.

I was too into staring at him that I didn't notice his eyes on me. It was a matter of millisecond that my head snaps away from him.

I Could feel him walking back to his chair. My chest was pounding in my rib cage. I keep looking down, I did my best to not look at him but miserably failed.

I made an mistake, Not knowing the Consequences I look beside only to meet his eyes, he was already looking at me.

Confused, Scared, nervous, excited and all the feelings occupied my head. I forgot I had a boyfriend.
