Chapter 3

Priya's Thoughts:

Finally, I reached the office! What a day already-missed the train, an accident, that annoying police officer, and now I'm late on my first day.

Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the building. It looked amazing-polished floors, glass walls, and everyone seemed busy.

As I was walking in, I overheard the manager talking to someone.

Office Manager:

"Today is the big day! Our new CEO is joining us. He just returned from abroad after finishing his studies."

Random Employee:

"Really? What's he like?"

Office Manager:

"He's brilliant but... let's just say, he's not easy to work with. A real devil when it comes to discipline and results."

Priya's Thoughts:

Oh, great. A devil boss on top of everything else. Could this day get any worse?

Priya's Thoughts:

As I was about to step into the office, I heard the sound of a car screeching to a halt outside. Curious, I turned around and saw a sleek black car.

A man stepped out, flanked by two bodyguards. His presence was commanding-tall, sharp features, and dressed in an expensive suit.

Priya (to herself):

"Is this the new CEO? Of course, it must be. Who else would arrive with bodyguards and such style? Looks like Mr. Devil Boss has finally arrived."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

Priya's Thoughts:

"Why do these rich guys always have to make such a dramatic entrance? Let's see if he's as terrifying as the manager says."

With that, I turned back and walked inside, trying not to let curiosity get the better of me.

Priya walked to her desk and noticed her friend rushing in at the same time. She raised an eyebrow, smirking playfully

Priya:

"Hi, Anandhi! What's this? The one person who's never late has finally shown up late? What a miracle! Looks like it's definitely going to rain today!"

Anandhi (grumbling):

"Shut up, Priya. I had to deal with insane traffic today, okay? I don't know what's going on, but it felt like the entire city was on the road at the same time."

Priya (teasing):

"Sure, sure. Blame the traffic. Just admit it-you hit snooze one too many times today!"

Anandhi (mock threatening):

"Say one more word and I'll throw my bag at you!"

The two laughed as they settled into their seats, the tension of the morning starting to ease.

Just then, a low murmur spread across the office, catching their attention.

Priya (curious):

"Hey, why is everyone suddenly whispering like that? Did something happen?"

Anandhi (with a knowing look):

"Probably because our new CEO has arrived. You know, the one everyone's been whispering about like he's some kind of legend."

Priya:

"Oh, the so-called 'devil boss'? I wonder what all the fuss is about."

Both turned their gaze toward the entrance, eager to catch a glimpse of the person causing all this commotion.

Rohit Raj's Thoughts:

"So, this is the company my father was so proud of, huh? Not bad, but honestly, I'd rather be back in America, running my own office. At least there, things were under my control.

It's not like my dad knows about the company I built from scratch. That's why I'm stuck here, pretending to care about his legacy. Fine, I'll play along-for now.

But what's this nonsense? People whispering about me being some kind of devil? Seriously?

Wait... I know exactly who's behind this. My so-called 'friend'-no, scratch that-my enemy. That idiot manager probably filled their heads with these stories. Ugh, he couldn't resist running to his dad and painting me as a villain.

I swear, when I get my hands on him, I'm going to make him regret crossing me. But first, let's see what this place has to offer."

Rohit adjusted his suit, his face calm but his mind plotting. As he stepped out of his car, his sharp eyes scanned the office entrance, ready to take charge-and settle old scores.
