But, for what...

Work has always been adventurous…She loved it for all its extremities. Working non-stop for even 24 hours never made her tired. Disrespectful colleagues or Unreasonable bosses, nothing mattered when she was working and at her desk…She loved it, as her job was never the same. Every single day, she faced a different face. Team-work, collaboration etc were only words to be learnt on books and at work it was one-on-one…And she excelled in it…

Ok, today, it’s a new face to handle. Her investigative mind was alert. She collected as much information before she went out into the field….She had already made up her mind, to be strong and steady in front of this new face she would be seeing soon. Reports on the person was not encouraging. Someone to be careful about, strict and unreasonable…She put on the BEWARE of him board and cautioned herself. She did not wanted to make any silly mistakes and bring in problems to her career…That’s all she wanted…

As she sat behind her desk, she watched this new face walking towards them…Being first time, her boss confirmed his identity… “Ohhhh, so is HE the ‘terror’ people were talking about?” He is so young…Her investigation on him was incomplete, she realized. She had foolishly assumed him to be an old, experienced man. But this one here, “Tall, Dark and handsome! Young, but still so much a terror, is he?”, thoughts kept flashing within her.

For all that she had heard of him, she did not want to get into any sort of trouble with him. She went on with her own business, working hard as always…but with extra care to not make mistakes. She had made up her mind to ignore…ignore his presence, his existence… It wasn’t easy…Strange was that, the more he stood there and observed the staffs, the more mismatch she felt…different from what she had heard of him. Friendly and smiling to all her team members, he was cracking jokes when the work was done…

As time passed, she noticed, he was clearly ignoring her too. As he laughed aloud with her co-workers, conversing in a language she was alien to, she thought, “Gosh, what a show off.” She was pissed off…

But, for what!!!
