Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

He look direct into my eyes and I saw a guilt in them. I try hard to hold my tears back but it's look like they are ready to betray me so I immediately pick all the papers from the floor, arranged them in a file and give the file to mr. Methew.

"Excuse me.. " I said in a heavy voice and run from there before my tears completely fell from my eyes.

I directly went to washroom and closed the door. I was lucky that there is no one in the washroom. I leaned on the door frame and set on the floor.
All the memories with him become fresh again.

Siddharth why you come back to my life when I try to move on in my life. You are making it hard for me to move on. I know you moved on already but I can't and I will never. Your presence fresh all the memories which I buried deepest in my heart.

Why you still affected me like two years back. Why I still remember all the memories, all the seconds which I spent with you.

I don't know how long I set there and cried my heart out. I got up from the floor and look at my reflection in mirror. My eyes are all puffy and red due to all crying. My hair are mess. I look like a zombie. I washed my face with water and splashed water on my eyes to reduce the puffiness. I set my hair with my fingers try to make me presentable.

I made a decision. I can't work with him. It will be difficult for me to move on if I see him everyday. It's batter I leave this job and start searching a new job for me to pay my loan. I go to my desk and start typing on it.

"What is this.." Siddharth asked looking at me.

"My resignation letter. I can't work with you." I said try to look confident in front of him.

He is sitting on a chair behind the large glass table and I was standing exact opposite to him.

"Why..?" He asked, looking at me. I saw hurt in his eyes but he covered it soon.

"Bec...becau.." I cleared my throat and take a Deep breath to calm my heart beats.

"Because you remind me of something and it's batter for both of us if I don't work with you." I whispered while looking down so that he can't see the pain in my eyes.

He take my resignation letter and tear it in two pieces in front of my eyes.

"I can't accept your resignation because you are bound to a three year bond with our company which states that if you leave your job before the time period you have to pay fine which is 7 lakh." He said with a smirk.

I so wanted to wipe that smirk on his face. How I forget about the bond.

"I can pay you in installments." I said.

"No, we can't take this risk. Either you have to work for me or you have to pay the full payment." He said, getting up from his seat and walk towards me.

What a jerk. He knows that I don't have that large amount to give him. I bit my lower lip while thinking.

I still need this job but I don't want to work with him. I still have to pay the loan. I can't ask papa for help. I don't want to burden on him. You can handle him Preeti. You just have to ignore him and busy yourself in your work. You can do this.

"Okey fine." I said looking at him but his eyes is focused on my lips.

"Huh.." he looked at me confusingly.

"I said I'm ready to work with you." I said looking at him.

He gave me his 1000 volt smile which I missed since past two years.

"Okey your table is already set just outside my cabin." He said pointing towards my desk.

I turn on my heal and start walking towards the door.

"Preeti..." when I was about to open the door he called me. I felt shiver runs to my body every time when my name rolled on his tongue. I turn to his side with a lot of courage.

"Make a coffee for me. You know how I like it from your hands." He said softly.

Is he still like my coffee. Didn't I effect to him like he is effecting me. I nodded my head and open the door of cabin and leave from there.
