Celebrity Crush Turned Deadly Love! novel Chapter 55

Akshu's PoV

My heart sank when I learnt Yash is not in the country. Whatever the dispute may be, we should never sleep carrying it on for the next day. I determined in my heart that we should always go to bed in harmony.

I should give him time to finish his work there. I should call him during the lunch break. I should make him feel that I am truly sorry. I started waiting for lunch break. I couldn't concentrate on any work. It is a terrible feeling not being mentally present in the place where you are physically. Yash must be feeling the same from yesterday. I feel so guilty for doing this to him.

"Akshitha, Earth to Akshitha." Balaji waved his hands on my face.

"Oh, Sorry, Yes, Balaji."

"I am quite disappointed with you. This work has to be done yesterday and you haven't even started It yet. Why do you all come to work if you can't do it on time?" He yelled at me, attracting the attention of people around my cabin.

It's my mistake. He is right.

"I'm sorry. I will tend to it right away. You will get it by the end of the day." I told him.

"You better finish it before I escalate it to my superior."

"Sorry, I will."

I started working on the task I was assigned to. Actually it needs more than a day to finish it. I felt ashamed when he yelled at me in front of everyone. I can do it by EOD!

"Akshu, It's lunch time. Come let's go." Kavi came to my desk.

"What? lunch break already? I have to finish this work, Kavi. You go. I will have my lunch here." I sent her away and started working again.

"Akshu, Look at you. Come let's go. Your floor is already empty." Kavi came again.

"I know, I have to finish this today. You go, Kavi. I will book a cab after I'm done. "

"I'm not leaving you alone here. Do it tomorrow. No one will question you."

"Oh no, They will."

"Akshu, Come on now!" She whined.

"Hi girls, What's wrong? Why are you still here?" Shiva came by.

"Hi Shiva, She didn't even have her lunch. Now asks me to go. She is staying back to complete this work you guys gave her." Kavi said, irritated.

"Kavi, Enough. It's my work. I should have finished it yesterday. It's already late. Now don't make a scene here. Go!"

"Akshitha,, You know you don't have to work hard here. Yadav wanted you to be in his sight to make sure you are safe. That is the reason you work here. All the work assigned to you is just to make sure you are not bored here. Please don't take pressure. Now go home." Shiva told me.

I don't know in what essence he told that, but I found it offensive.
