'Rohit lifted the intercom when it rang beside him. “Mr. Chengalvarayan from Room 1804 on line 3, Sir,” said Ramona’s pleasant voice.“Thank you, Ramona, put him through,” said Rohit before leaning back on his swivel chair, flexing his muscles. It had been a long day, especially after the two weeks off, but it had been worth it.There was a smile on his lips as he spoke into the phone, “So, tell me, Daya, how was your stay this time?” he asked, pleasure evident in his voice.

'Rohit temporarily took over the office next to the reception. It served a dual purpose. One was that he could have Tanya in his view most of the time; the other being that he could stay away from his own office with a board clearly stating that it belonged to the Chairman and Managing Director, which would have let out the secret that he was the man-in-charge. It was a good thing that no one had the guts to question him regarding his decisions.So he sat at the huge desk, manning the(...)'
