Sujoy's POV Just a few minutes back, she was taking care of me... What happened now?? " I prefer you... " " Mr Khanna !! " She almost yelled and glared at me. " ...To eat with me. I already told you, I can't eat alone. " I rephrased again. " But that is your problem... I am very busy at this hour, and as it is, I am not bound to have a meal with anyone. " She said bluntly. " Yeah, that is my problem... I am very hungry right now, but since I can't eat alone and can't even try eating with my own hands ... I think I'd better leave. Please charge all this to my account, and please get the cake packed, which my sister orders every day. " I said and started going towards the door. " Mr Khanna, wait !! Sir... Please have breakfast. " She looked shocked. " No, thanks... I don't want to eat it." I said. " But... I have been working on it for the last hour. " She said. " So, can't you take out a few more minutes and help me?? " I retorted. " You are asking for too much... My pa
Sujoy's POV" Ahhh!! Shit !! " I said when it toppled and fell from the gas. I panicked and tried to hold it, but as it was extremely hot, I could not hold it, and it slipped. My hands got burned. " Mr Khanna?? " She turned towards me and was surprised to see me and what I had done." What are you doing in the kitchen? Haven't I told you to stay away from here? Guests are not allowed in the kitchen. " She yelled at me. " I wanted to see you... " " What?? " " I mean... I wanted to see you cooking all this. " I rephrased my sentence. " Please leave!!! " She said, pointing towards the door. " No, I am enjoying it a lot. " " Mr Khanna... Please... leave!!" She bent to pick up the pressure cooker almost at the same time I did. Our heads bumped into each other. I was holding the rolling pin that had also fallen when she tried to snatch it from me, but I loved to see her sitting so close to me, and I wanted to keep her there, so I held it tightly. " Ughhhh! Leave it, please go
Sujoy's POV It was morning, and I got up early and got ready. I got some chocolates for her and reached the hotel. She didn't accept flowers, but maybe she would be tempted to keep the chocolates. You are an idiot!!! She is working with chocolate all the time. She would not be tempted by it. My inner self said. Maybe she would not disrespect chocolates by not accepting them. I wanted to greet her before she entered the bakery or the hotel. So I waited for her, sitting patiently in my car. Just then, I saw her coming; she got out of the car and waved to say bye, and then threw a flying kiss towards the car. What?? Flying kiss?? Sujoy, did you see that? Devil's advocate said in my mind. Who was in the car?? Someone she loves? The angelic side said. I felt bad to hear that... What was happening to me?? I had never bothered about anyone like this. Why was this thought of her liking someone and sending a flying kiss to him making me feel uncomfortable? What would I feel if s
Sujoy's POVOh, so you are taking a day off, saying that you have some emergency at home while you are planning to spend time with your lover boy? " I asked. " Will you please shut up, Mr Khanna? I do not intend to give you a detailed report of my routine. It is none of your business. " She was losing her temper. " Tell me, what do you think about Chef Neel? " I asked another question. " He is my... Friend. " She said." Friend?? What kind of friend? " I asked again." I know only one kind of friend. I have specialized in food, not in relationships with friends. Anyway, I am here to talk about the food business, please stick to that. " She said." So Neel is not the Loverboy. Is he waiting at your place? Right? " I asked. " Yes, I have someone at my place whom I love and will keep on loving till my last breath. Do you have a problem with that?? If you have a problem, find a solution for yourself. I have told you that I am not interested in you, and I will never be. I am
Sujoy's POV They were eating, and that chef was leaning towards her. The food tasted like cardboard now. My appetite was lost. " Do you think you are on a picnic?? We are having an official meeting here. Not the friendly get-together. Please behave accordingly. " I said as I could not take it anymore. " Sorry, sir, if I offended you. I was just trying to finish the food on her plate, as we believe that food should not be wasted, and any food that is not used is sent to needy people. So instead of taking more food, I finished what was on my friend's plate." He said and smiled politely. " That's nice... Tell me what you want to discuss?? " I was thoroughly irritated with him and wanted him to leave immediately. " Actually, what he wants to ask is exactly what kind of food do you want, sir? " Sneha asked and my temper simmered. " Can you provide some Indian regular snacks as well? You see, I have many workers who are old-fashioned and are comfortable with the food they are more f
Sujoy's POVShe had already taken the day off, then what was she doing here? She was busy taking an order for a massive wedding cake and was totally engrossed in the conversation with them. I kept looking at her. She was beautiful in her own way... Her long, thick lashes looked like a beautiful fringed lace over her big eyes. " Can you please tell someone to pack the cake my sister likes? " I said, and she was startled. " Oh, Hello... Mr Khanna. " She looked embarrassed. " I am surprised to see you here. I was told that you had taken a day off and gone home. Are you trying to avoid me?? " I asked. " No, Mr Khanna, I had gone home, but this young couple wanted to order their wedding cake today itself. The bakery suggested they come another day, but the groom was busy later on. So I had to come back," she told me." Oh, ok!! " I nodded with a smile." So, how was the lunch, and which dishes did you like? " She asked me. " I didn't have lunch. " " What?? Why? I had already p
Sujoy's POV " You can call me Sujoy if you want. I would love it. " " But, I don't want to... "" Fine, I am going, for now, I have an important meeting, will be here around 2 PM. " I informed her. " Sure, sir. Do you want to try something special? " She asked. " Everything that is made by you is special. " I said. " Then why are you making me prepare so many things?? Why not trust my culinary skills?? " She asked with a raised eyebrow. " Ouch !!! Hot!! " I said. " What ?? Of course, I just made it... It has to be hot. " She explained. " I was talking about your temper. What happened?? In a sour mood?? " I winked at her and smiled" Sir, my moods are none of your business. " She said, glaring at me. " Loverboy got jealous and angry because you were late yesterday? " I asked. " Why don't you leave my private life away? I will tackle all my issues. " She was annoyed. " So, there are issues... Leave him. "" What?? No!! " " Why? I am sure I am more eligible than he, be
Sujoy's POVI kept ignoring the call, but she was persistent, so finally, I picked up the call. She invited me to her place to spend another hot night there, but I turned her down, and she kept insisting. So I thought of obliging her, and as it was, I wanted to distract myself. But just the thought of the girl who smelled like vanilla and chocolate made me change my mind. How I wished I were talking to her and not this girl. The girl sounded disappointed, but I told her that I was not interested. ********* I was lying on my bed, wide awake with a smile on my face. Thinking about the cute chef, I loved annoying her. She was beautiful, smart, savage, fiercely independent, witty, feisty, and talented. I liked her... But I was shocked to see that she had no effect on my flirting with her. She was just a bit uncomfortable. How?? And why was she stepping away from me as if I were a live wire? Her behavior was strange... But I had already taken up the challenge, and I would make her
Sujoy's POV I came home, my mom was waiting for me. She smiled when she saw me; I felt guilty looking at her. She was waiting for me to come home so that she could serve hot food for me. I should have informed her. I had no right to take her for granted. All she wanted was for me to get settled so that they could rest assured that both her children were happily settled,, and I have been avoiding her like plague. I went to her and gave her a warm and tight hug. She was a bit surprised at that. " I am sorry, Mom, sorry for everything, you know, I love you. " I said " I know... Chal khana kha le... ( c'mon have dinner now!)" She said. " Mom, I have had dinner. " I told her. " What is going on?? You hardly eat anything nowadays... " " Mom, chill!! I am eating more than I usually do... In fact, I would have to increase my time at the gym." I smiled. " Did you have dinner with that girl?" She enquired with excitement." Yes, Mom!! " I said, she smiled. " Ok, then it is fine
