Bound By Contract

Amayra's Pov

For the first time since I joined my job, I was excited to get to the office. I recalled yesterday's events in the restaurant and smiled. After we had lunch, I took a day off because the HR team was already searching for my replacement and it was almost final, they could join us in the next two or three days so I could give them the required training before I left the job for good.

But still, I need to complete my three-month notice period, but this time it would be at least bearable with Rudra Kapoor not yelling at me day and night and it would be a relief that I made sure he doesn't show anger on his face and talk politely with everyone.

I take my usual starbucks caffe latte on my way and walk towards my floor, a huge smile on my face for the first time, as I greet everyone on my way towards my desk.

"Good Morning Meriha," I greet as she looks at me surprised.

"Good Morning Amy, and why do you look extra happy today?" she asks as I grin, keeping my work bag beside me and opening my laptop as I take a sip from my latte.

"Let's just say, I have an intrusion that today will be my day," I tell her as she looks at me weirdly.

"Your day?" she asks as she takes some files and keeps them on my desk, "You forgot to complete these files, my boss asked you to do it last week, he's going to be angry, and you left after lunch yesterday," she states and shrug as I sip my latte.

"I had some work to do," I tell her as I recall how I watched some shows I had kept pending the rest of the day because yesterday, I had declared it to be my relaxed day. I didn't do anything, I didn't even think about of my start-up and just relaxed, but today, I had to make some important calls to the investors and prepare presentations before I presented my ideas to them.

As soon as I set my latte down, I noticed the elevator doors sliding open. There he was, Rudra Kapoor, my rude boss, making his way toward his cabin. A sly smile spread across my lips as I watched him.

As soon as I saw him turn his head in my direction, I quickly looked down at my laptop, pretending to be absorbed in work. His footsteps grew louder as he approached, and I suddenly realized my laptop wasn't even on. Panicking, I hurriedly pressed the power button just as Rudra Kapoor reached my desk.

"Good Morning, sir," Mariha greeted the huge mountain of a man beside me who for some reason was watching my laptop getting started.

"Morning Mariha, I see you've started your work, good," he states and looks back at me, "And some are just getting started... with their laptops," Rudra said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he glanced at my screen slowly loading up.

I looked up and give him a glare, "Good Morning, sir," I greeted him and made sure he knew I didn't like his sarcastic remark, which he ignored.

"Come to my cabin Amayra," he says and I open my mouth to oppose when he adds, "Now," and leaves, leaving me staring after him shocked, he wasn't following the rules, I need to remind him of that.

"Good luck," Mariha says.

"Good luck to him," I mutter under my breath as I make my way towards his cabin, not before making sure I give an annoyed and irritated look at Rita who sat outside adjusting her hair.

I knock on the door, hearing a faint 'Come in' before I push it open and step inside. The sight that greets me leaves me stunned. Rudra is in the middle of removing his jacket, his movements so smooth and steady that I can't help but notice the way his muscles flex beneath his shirt. My mind drifts, wondering if he's hiding six-pack abs under there, or maybe even eight.
