Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Mr. Raghavan
"...What?"
"Yeah you heard that right I am nothing but a Security guard," he repeated calmly.
Catherine could not help it anymore her calm expression changed completely at that time, clear disbelief was written all over her expression.
"You’re joking surely, right?
Shagufta told me how you have graduated as a top of your class from a prestigious university in the state.
With credentials and certification like that, you could have land an excellent job anywhere, Atleast that I am sure of, and even if you can’t, surely you can atleast find a job much better than being a Security guard right?
But despite all that hundred of choices you chose... to be a security guard instead?"
"Was your head kicked by a donkey or what?"
Whatever trace of restraint she had before was gone now, knowing fully of his background she wouldn’t stoop her level anymore and make herself look dignified anymore atleast not to him.
So now that she thought she had the upper hand, her superiority complex showed in full force once again.
She lazily leaned back in her chair crossing her legs, an arrogant smile playing on her lips as if she was finally seeing Alex’s "true" status.
Alex, meanwhile, was practically amused to death at her third rate theatrics.
What a oscar winning performance literally!
"I just got back from studying abroad last year in sciences. And I have already landed a great job in a famous Company with a pay as high as twenty thousand dollars a month, with full benefits and year-end bonuses also."
Catherine looked at Alex with open disdain in her eyes.
"You probably don’t even make a thousand dollars as a security guard, right?
I bet your company doesn’t even cover your insurance or pension, Am I wrong anywhere?"
"No, not wrong at all but I have to say you are really impressive," Alex replied mildly with clear humility in his voice.
"Of course about twenty thousand a month, that much you can’t even think about it in your dreams" she repeated, smugly.
Alex only said, "Oh," then glanced down at the balance on his phone.
1.5 billion dollars was still sitting there in his bank even after the purchase of his Porsche car, and if I showed her this much money at once, I bet she will have a mini heart attack due to the shock caused by it.
Catherine went on again, "There’s a lot of room for growth in my career from my position.
I make over twenty thousand dollars now, but in the future, it could easily reach thirty or forty thousand."
"My current initial salary is the end point of you job career."
Alex not minding her taunts even for a bit but instead grew curious of her work, couldn’t help but asking, "What kind of work do you actually do?"
"I am my Boss Secretary you know."
Alex raise his eyebrow a little at her choice of words.
Surely it is not something that I am thinking right..??
As expected she didn’t even hesitated for half a beat raising her voice a little she said once again, "I’m my boss’s personal secretary." she clarified, deliberately stressing the word "personal," as though implying there was something more than a working relationship between her and her boss.
"And let me tell you, my boss is not just a nobody he is The Mr. Raghavan who is the head of Mumbai City’s National company of Equipment for Medical puposess.
If you have to describe him in words. He’s in his forties, he has become successful with his calm and charming demeanour a long time ago.
His net worth is billions dollars.
Although he seem to be Divorced, but he was never unfaithful to his older wife till now."
When she spoke of Mr. Raghavan, her eyes lit up with admiration.
She cast a sideways glance at Alex, as if to say:
Look at the what kind of man I am near all year around, compared to you who is nothing but just a lowly guard it is a difference that is as big as difference between sun and moon.
"Mr. Raghavan?"
Alex almost laughed at her there and then.
Back when he was dating Riya wasn’t her surname Raghavan too?? then doesn’t that mean, that the man Catherine is possibly referring to is Riya’s father then?
Well then I have to say, she wasn’t wrong about one thing about her boss then, the people who are bald and are middle-aged do have a certain calm about them.
But more than that, Alex did not fail to notice that: this woman carried herself with a unshakable confidence, as though being close to someone powerful automatically made her powerful too.
He smiled faintly continuing jokely. "So, what you’re trying to do are you by any chance trying to seduce your own boss?
You want to be with him for life are you sure?"
"Oh, that’s not how I’d put it," Catherine protested startling at his direct face off. "He’s not just any boss that you know he won’t use his position to harass me. He’s... completely different to me you know."
She looked at Alex with a self-satisfied air, as though under some kind of spotlight.
Alex leaned back amusedly. "Then tell me what makes him different for you?"
"In the company, I am the only one he really trusts the most.
You know I’ve even met his family in person. His daughter, Riya Raghavan, you wouldn’t believe how stunning she is... she has that gorgeous looking beautiful face with a very incredible figure, not to mention her elegance which is even better than most celebrities that I have ever seen in real life."
Alex’s expression shifted slightly at that familiar name.
RiyaRaghavan ... So it really was her father then.
"For once," he admitted with a small smile, "I fully agree with you words. You have to say she is indeed somewhat beautiful compared to other celebrities."
