Not without Deserts

"Come in" came a sweet voice, John placed a cup of green tea in her desk and observed the women flatly lying with her upper body in her desk burying her face in her arms and sighing internally.

"Are you not feeling well, can I call Doctor to take a look"

"No"

"Your mood is not well from morning, even in meeting you seem spaced out a little, if your mood is little off you can rest and I will cancel todays appointments since it a start of month" said John.

"Hmm, ok I need to be alone for a while" she thought better to sort out with few ideas how to reject the marriage proposals which came like a blow from our Grandma.

"Rogue that, I will order your favorite Biriyani, chicken fries for lunch, so you can calm your mind and sort your thoughts'' his pampered foodie boss always leave her problems all alone temporarily once her eyes set straight on her food, he turned around to his desk to place the orders only to hear a high voice from behind.

''John, you forgot something'' confused John looking around her desk and realized before picking up the cup still the tea on it.

''Sorry, your food will come as fast, no need for tea now'' only to see an indifferent face.

"Not this, you forgot about the deserts, order a cup of either strawberry or butterscotch ice cream''.

Pfft ''Aye Aye boss'' suppressing his grin he left and the office room quite down, she stands up from her desk and plonked herself in the couch to lay down, thoughts were drifted to yesterday events at her home.

'Grandma, what's the rush in marrying even before turning 24, I am in no rush and there are lot to explore myself in my life'. This is not a first-time proposal on marriage anyway, many families were already approached her Grandma for the marriage alliance, it was either refused politely or the discussion held up.

But she can't understand why her Grandma is so fixed in this one, 'AHH' sighed internally in her mind, when she thought about the man face, her hands are itching to give him a punch in his nose, Even though he looks like a Greek god.

Her encounter with him was only two or three times while at the time of customer visits at her office.

Even she remembers one time when there was heated discussion went between both the team about the machine failures and how to resolve. A various question was thrown at her and her team, she submitted a comprehensive root cause solution to his team. But there was not a single question only from him, she even thought that he came only for man head count for this visit but wondered when she heard that he was a director of one of the departments.

'Shreya, sweetheart' heard her Grandma voice which brought back her thoughts. She patted her Shreya's hand and gesture her to sit on sofa for quite discussion.

There was a knock at the door and a servant entered with the plates of tea and snacks, Her Grandma earlier called a servant to bring one of the favorites of her sweetheart.

'Grandma are you bribing me now by giving the Chocolate cake at this time', she gave a small glare to her Grandma while taking her first bite.

'you can take that as yes my little munchie' chuckled her Grandma
