Mythili:
The steam of the coffee I just prepared covered my face allowing me to take a big whiff of the aroma.
Samayaniki tagu maataladane song's playing in the background.
(Yea just like in those shekar kammula movies)
(A/N: It is a classical karnatic song.) 
I poured my steaming coffee into a mug taking another whiff of the aroma of my double strong double sugar coffe. I prefer it that way. Just like me. I can be very sweet and I can also be very dominating. 
Walking to the balcony that's attached to my spacious living hall I leaned onto the railing. The morning Sun soaking my skin, birds chirping, I was enjoying my coffee seeing the dogs on the street playing.
A peaceful morning.

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
My phone started ringing bringing me out of my thoughts. I rushed to the dinning table to see it's my best friend Shalini calling.
"Good morning babe..!" I answered cheerily. 
"Hmmm" 
If she is not shouting then she is sulking.
"It's such a wonderful day and you are already sulking?"
She sniffiled not giving a reply.
"Shalu are you ok? Why are you crying?" I asked concerned.
"It's Vaibhav. He is not behaving like usual from past 2 weeks. I don't know what's wrong." She said crying.
Vaibhav and Shalini are in relationship for almost two years. 
"What did he do?" 
"He is not talking like before, keeping distance and now he is finding excuses to meet." She said in between her sobs.
"We were supposed to meet yesterday night. He said he would come to my flat. But didn't. It's the third time in two weeks."
After consoling her for sometime and with a promise of meeting we ended the call.
I glanced at the wall clock to check the time. Alarmed to see the time as 8 o clock I started getting ready for the office. I need to be there by 9.
I work as a PA for the boss for the company named 'Bottled Heaven'. My company is one of the leading companies in the country for making perfumes. It's name is one of the reasons for me to choose this company to work.
It's true, isn't it? Good aroma changes your mood.
Closing your eyes, imagine your favourite fragrance around you, take a deep breath. Isn't it heavenly?
I entered my cabin sharp at 9. Heaving a sigh of relief I started to check my mails. 
"What?!" I yelled seeing a particular mail.
Just then my intercom buzzed "Come to my cabin" 
It's my boss Aakash.
Knocking the door I entered the cabin to see a gloomy faced boss. 
"Sir, please don't tell me you sold our company to someone else." I asked him as soon as he noticed me. 
He sighed. "Yes Mythili, that mail you got is true." 
"But why?!" I couldn't come out of my shock.
"I don't think I need to explain myself to you. Collect the ownership transfer papers from the HR department." He snapped.
Asshole. He won't answer if there is a mistake from his side. That much I know from working for him for almost 4 years now.
"How can he do this?!" I said banging my hands on Neetu's desk, our floor receptionist. She is a sweet heart. One of the loveliest persons I knew of. 
"The talk around is, he gambled our company last night" Neetu said checking her surroundings to see if the boss is there.
I was too shocked to even reply. I know he is stupid, but didn't expect him to be an idiot.
"Everyone is saying you gambled by keeping the company as bet. Please tell me it's not true sir." I was desparate. I was attached to this company more than I should have been. Now change in the ownership means lot of changes in the company. 
"I was baited to play. I didn't have choice. That bastard tricked me." Aakash said.
"Now now now., Don't portray yourself as an innocent victim. You should take responsibility for your actions like, gambling with your company or stealing the details of the new perfume from my company." A new voice said entering into the cabin. 
I turned to see a handsome man standing at the door. I am of an average height, but not short. 
But this fellow is so tall might be of 6'2 or something made me look like a Lilliput. His well fitted suit that's showing the outlines of his muscular body, sharp jawline, thick eyebrows, fair skin, dark hair he looked like a model from a magazine. 
It took few seconds to control my heart and brain which has stopped working momentarily. Then my brain processed what he said..
I gasped listening to the new information said by this new person. He looks familiar. But I couldn't pinpoint where I have seen him.
Aakash glared at him before speaking "Welcome Arjun, this is my PA Mythili. Mythili this is Arjun, CEO of 'Fragrance's in the Air'"
It's The Arjun?! OMG. That's why he looks familiar. He is the most eligible bachelor in the country and the CEO of the top most perfume company.
"Nice to meet you miss Mythili" he said with a small smirk extending his hand for a hand shake.
I was gaping at him all the time. Clearing my throat I extended my hand feeling embarassed. 
And then matters became more clear. FIA is creating a new fragrance and there is already a high demand for that product. Aakash wanted to beat him since long. But I didn't expect he would do such a drastic thing.
"Are you really for serious? You have risked the entire company and all the employees jobs. I know you can be unreasonable, but didn't expect you to be outright dumb ass." I yelled.
"Miss Mythili, you are crossing your limits." Aakash warned.
"I am very much aware of that Sir. But have you thought of the people working here? We don't know what will happen to all of their jobs. That's very very stupid of you." I vented my anger and left the cabin.
At that point I didn't think of anything else other than killing my boss. Since it's not possible, I yelled at him. 
If I get angry, I don't think of consequences, which my friends always warn me about.
And that's how my supposed to be wonderful day changed into a shitty one.
