01 | The Devil

"Yes. Stop here" A girl said to the cab driver who stopped outside a large building. The driver looked at the building with a curious eyes then to the girl who got down from the cab.

"Ma'am you work here?" The driver asked astonished as everyone on the Mumbai know that how difficult it is to get the opportunity to work in this law firm named 'Rightive'

The girl grinned after seeing his reaction and answered "Today is my first day". The driver nodded and said "I heard that the boss in there is a devil." Hearing his words the grin on her face fell down.

She glared at him for making her already nervous self even more nervous and went towards the entrance. She took a deep breath and entered the firm with her hand tightly gripping the bag she is carrying.

She looked around taking in the luxurious and classic infrastructure. Her eyes landed on the receptionist and she took small steps towards her.

The receptionist looked at the girl with a professional smile on her face and asked "What can I do for you mam?. The girl smiled at her nervously mumbling "Today is my first day here".

Hearing her the receptionist glanced at the paper on her desk and again glanced at the girl who is biting her lip anxiously.

"Pooja Mehta?"

"Yes! That's me" she said. "Ma'am will be here in about ten minutes." She said smiling making her nod. She looked at the clock which showed 10 minutes to nine. She sighed and sat on the couch.

She looked around the office seeing everyone chitchatting and laughing. She relaxed a bit seeing the joyful environment but a sudden silence engulfed the hall after hearing a vehicle sound.

A car stopped out at the entrance and A guard opened the door. Everyone who were smiling and laughing in the hall stood straight and in alert.

Pooja gulped as a famine figure came out of the car. The woman with pastel pink suit with white shirt gave a professional look. Her jet black wavy hair freely moving the every step she is taking. Her face blank and her gorgeous eyes which is the talk of the city are covered with goggles. Her every step screams confidence and power.

Her face was just perfect. The makeup successfully highlighted her features, giving her an ethereal look. Her appearance can be deceiving as she looked like a whole fairy landed on earth but in reality she is a devil. Pooja gulped seeing the great Parinidhi Gupta in front of her for the first time.

Everyone who wants to study law believe Parinidhi gupta as goddess. As never in her life she lost a case. It is a very big deal to get to see her and talk to her. She never comes outside to any parties unless it is about her work or case she wants to take. No one knows about her personal life as she keeps it a lot private.

Not only as a lawyer but she is also famous with her connections and political power. Everyone knows that, if anyone tried to invade her privacy or cross their limits she will make their life hell, she doesn't have to do anything, just a mere phone call can end someone's life. Her political power is no joke.

Many MLA's and the higher officials fear her, as she has their secrets which they want to hide from the world. Her sharp tongue and the wicked mind is like a cherry on top, it never fails to make them shiver. They have to walk on the eggshells around her as they don't want to offend her in any way. It is a scene to witness the powerful people outside the world standing in front of her with sweaty foreheads and full of Stuttering.

Parinidhi enjoys it a lot!

Parinidhi went straight towards the elevator while nodding at the 'good mornings' from her employees. Pooja ran after her and went to the other elevator as the one her boss is using is not for employees.

Pooja gulped and took a deep breath while standing in front of the door of her boss's cabin. She rubbed her sweaty hands and took deep breaths. She knocked on it with trembling hands and went inside after hearing 'come in'.

She was in awe at the classic office. It's not all black or grey as she expected. The colors are lively. Her gaze then landed on her boss who is doing something in her phone and then on the huge opened chocolate box present right on the table. She licked her lips seeing so many different chocolates. One thing about Parinidhi is she is a addict to chocolates. The first thing that you can find in google about the great lawyer is this.

Her obsession with donuts and chocolates is incredible.

There is a bakery at the middle of the city named 'Mr. Sugarcakes' Everyday by 6'o clock they sell fresh donuts and their first batch comes to her. She is crazy for them. And no doubt they sell the best ones.

"I'm not paying you to stare at my things" Pooja flinched hearing the stern voice which belongs to Parinidhi who is looking at her with raised eyebrow.

Pooja's cheeks burned with embarrassment. Her hand went to her glasses to set them correctly and she cleared her throat before saying "Good morning mam, I'm Pooja Mehta".

Pooja looked at her alluring big brown orbs. That have the power to set everyone on fire.

Parinidhi looked at the file and nodded her head "My new appointed Assistant " she mumbled and looked at the figure who is shivering slightly. She scoffed at her, same shit different day.

"If you are done with your trembling, bring me the coffee" Parinidhi muttered opening her laptop. Pooja as soon as hearing the words ran out of the cabin.

Parinidhi narrowed her eyes at herself while checking her appearance in the laptop reflection. Her skin is glossy and shining, her sharp jaw line for which she had to do so exercise stood out, her well shaped eyebrow and her pretty wavy hair.

Seeing all these A smirk formed on her red painted lips making her pretty dimples visible. The only time the dimples are visible is when she smirks and there are many people waiting curiously for the day, when they get to see her smile with that dimples.

Giving a last look to herself she continued her work. She is a self obsessed women who doesn't leave a chance to praise her own beauty. Pampering herself, going to occasional self dates, Spending a lot of money on herself, exploring the world. She does everything.

Because she is not going to depend on the male species for her happiness. She is better off alone.

She shook her head and switched on the television and started to look at her files with the news playing in the background. A knock disturbed her. There entered Pooja with her coffee. She is Parinidhi's third Assistant in this month. She doesn't like anyone who is not serious about the work. She is just very observant and picky.

Pooja placed the coffee on her desk from the tray and waited for her boss to say something. Parinidhi quietly drank her coffee without saying anything because she liked it and is not planning to reveal it to her new assistant.

Her ego is big as mountain.

She was about to order her Assistant but the words in the news caught her attention. She raised her eyebrow in amusement seeing Amit Mehra. A businessman. His brother is the person who she defeated in the court case. His brother involved in smuggling and women trafficking. She succeeded in giving him the punishment he deserved.

Off fucking course!

He is a fool to think, he will win when Parinidhi gupta is his opponent.

"That bitch! What does she think about herself. She dared to spoil my brother's life. I'll make sure to make your life living hell. Parinidhi Gupta You are going to face my wrath. Be ready " He shouted and hoped in his car with a rage.

"You all can see how Amit mehra challenged Parinidhi gupta. He really must love his brother to threat the lawyer to this extent." And the reporter started to talk nonsense. She must have received money from him to say those words.

She shook my head at him. Bastard! Showing that he cares for his brother to the world but in reality He is having a secret party tonight with his close friends. Party for having all the property and lands on his name. He never tried to save his brother in reality.

But shouldn't have dragged me in your shitty acting. She thought gritting her teeth.

Her gaze landed on the trembling figure in front of her who is fearing for her life thinking Parinidhi didn't like her coffee.

"You are 5 minutes late. I'm not going to tolerate it again. I want my coffee ready on my table at sharp 8:45 from tomorrow. And Here are the files you need to study." She ordered placing a bundle of files on the desk making pooja gulp. "Yes mam " she said carrying the files. She was about to go out when she heard

"And yeah! Learn to come quickly if you want to waste your time standing outside my cabin while rubbing your sweaty palms! "

Pooja for the nth time shivered and scurried away.

"She is really a devil"
