My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby! novel Chapter 40

D's PoV

Janani is a nice girl. I like her. She is the personal secretary of Karthik. She is a beautiful girl. 

"From when are you working for this concern, Janani?"

"I started my career here, Danya. It's been 3 years now. I started as a receptionist and now PA."

"Oh, that's nice. Will you take me to HR?"

"Yeah sure. About that, our last 3 contracts were lost in a very meagre amount difference. Karthik sir thinks there should be an insider that leaks our quotation amount. But all 3 contracts have gone to 3 different companies. We have no clue. Luckily Karthik sir trusts me. He might have given this job to you because often a third person point of view will be right. Like thinking out of the box."

"I see. I sure will try my best to conclude this."

"Thanks, Danya. And congratulations on your wedding. I don't know about Karthik sir. But I am so happy that you married Rishi sir. He deserved better is what I always think when I see him with Smirthi." She said completely out of nowhere.

"Thank you, Janani. I feel better. Among all the commotions, someone telling it's for the best, gives you a little happiness you know. And may I ask why you thought like that?" I asked her. So people here know Smirthi.

"Sure. Every Saturday Rishi sir will visit us. You know we work all Saturdays. Almost all the time Smirthi will come along with him. Many times Karthik sir and Rishi sir will talk in the room. She will just roam around looking at everything. Some of us even felt like she was supervising our work. It kinda irritates us. She even asked me about our financial status and about our upcoming projects. She even tried to buy our salary details from me. I personally hate her and feel like she is so keen on money." She said hatred was evident in her words.

"Oh! She may be. Um.... Is it wrong to know about your fiance's monetary status? Why does everyone hate her for that? I mean, she is a middle-class girl. I have many middle-class friends. They always look for the price before anything. That doesn't mean they are giving importance to money, they just want to know if they can afford it."

"OMG What are you Danya? You are taking up her side? Strange! But you are so good. I really like you." She just hugged me. I like her too and I reciprocated the hug.

So, Rishi has brought her here all Saturdays. 

I started my work by collecting everyone who works for the quotation. I personally met everyone. I don't know, but all 3 of them look nice. I don't feel bad about them or get any bad vibes from them. Karthik has arranged my seat along with Janani. When I went there with files of details, I saw Gowtham. My college senior.

"Hey senior! How are you? Surprise!" I jumped behind him, startling him.

"Hey Anya! What are you doing here?" he asked me with a wide blown smile.

"She is my sister Daksha, senior. Teach her well" I said.

"Haha sure. You are an intern also? But you should be done with college now. Aren't you?"

"Yes, senior. I'm done with college. I'm also married. I came here along with my sister. Just an apprentice."

"You are married? Wow! Congratulations! What's your husband doing?"

"His name is Rishi, senior. You might have known him. He holds some shares here too."

"Oh! So you are that sudden bride? How the hell did your dad agree to this?" he asked me, shocked. I can sense that he is feeling bad for me.

"Haha! You should be asking me this question. But to answer your question, Rishi's dad is my dad's bestest friend!" I spoke in a light sense as I don’t want him to look at me with pity in his eyes.

"Oh, I see. So how is your life D? I mean, I know your husband's past. I'm sorry if it hurt you, but I have seen him many times with her here and many Sundays in Elegance boutique, RS puram. That was a super costly boutique. Is he treating you well?" he asked me.

"Thank you for your concern, senior. But he is in love with me now. I love him with all my heart. He was my school senior. My first crush. I'm so happy now." I told him to stop the talks about this in front of Dakshu.

"Sorry Danya. Anyways I'm so happy for you."

"Don't be sorry senior. your intentions are good."

"Anya, I've got some work to submit. We will talk during lunch break." he said.

"Sure senior. Bye Dakshu." I walked away from them.

So, Rishi has been spending his weekends with her. Saturdays here and Sundays in his boutique. Not bad for the first day.

I started my work by picking up dates of the last 3 contract's processing time in this office. I mean, from the day the contract set out to the auction day where the quotations are opened. It's quite a tricky job to find the culprit. At lunch break, me, Dakshu, Janani and Gowtham were talking while eating.
