Is this an Offence?

"Excuse me boss!!"- A polite voice entered his ears. He smiled internally. Sure he was waiting for her arrival. "Come in!!" - His voice was firm and greedy. Soon she entered. "Here is the needed document" she handed over the file with bunch of papers neatly clipped.

"I have checked everything thoroughly. You please take a look before proceeding to sign" she expressed in a bold voice. She was the admin authority of that office and the documents were about the building rent and other expenses statement of the month.

Seems he was careless about the file. "Come on! Sit down!!" he asked her to sit in a chair next to him. "I am fine. Thanks" she hesitated to take the offer. “I have asked the office boys to sterilize the keyboards and mouse sometime today" she wanted to distract him from ogling at her. Still he continued trying to have an eye contact with her. But she was stable.

"What do you generally do during weekends?" he asked which was completely inappropriate for the situation. With a usual hesitation she replied "I have MCA classes at Weekends." The response was honest. She was doing her post-graduation through distance mode that time."

"Well. I have to get back to work" her statement clearly shows that she dint like to continue the conversation. "Do you watch Hollywood movies?" another inappropriate question from him. She did not open her mouth knowing he is trying to create a nonsense scene to let her remain in his room for some more time. "How about booking for one this weekend?" he continued. He used to follow these cheap tricks to trap the girls. But she was aware of it. Completely aware of it. "I don't hang out alone with guys generally" the tone was strong. "Sorry" she added but she was actually not feeling sorry. It was simply a reflection of her manners.

"But I won't harm you in anyways. After all it’s a mean to know each other better and to develop our friendship" his eyes looked cunning. She knew what according to him the meaning of friendship was. The history of girls who worked for him earlier was clearly imprinted in her memory. Her friends "Swathi" and "Smithi" alerted her more than hundred times.

“No thanks!!” she replied in no time and made sure there was enough space between him and her. She was very particular about this.

“You can’t say this being a modern girl” – he insisted on the same topic. “Modern?” What you mean by that term she questioned him back in an agitated tone. She was an intelligent girl and a rank holder in her college. Clearly she was proper in dressing and her code of conduct in her work place.

“You are a different girl; certainly different girl; Very enthusiastic and sporty!” – He continued admiring her just to convince her. She knew that all these are his nasty trials since she was used to it many times before. But this time it was bit more hard to distract him. Really hard!!. “Can’t you imagine how nice this relationship could be!” he is now out of his seat and started reaching close to her. She was nervous. “You would be given preference in all forth coming official events” he was trying his best to hold her attention.

She was then at his reach and that pushed her highly uncomfortable. She was irritated. Completely irritated coz of his ruthless behaviour.

“I am not what you think!” her declaration was stouter this time. “I know this would be little new to you” he went on with his senseless approach. “You don’t have to fear for anyone. It’s a deal between you and me. Believe me” he revealed his obscene part of him. Clock Struck 3 pm then. Silence lasted for few seconds. He was trying to move a little closer to her.

“Will you please stop this nonsense!” she blasted in anger and tried to step away from him. He dint let her move. “I agree!” he smiled in a foxy manner. “But you can’t escape from here” he added along with the smile. She was at her nerves. For one last time she tried to be decent and spelled out “You would see my wrath if you don’t let me go now” in a stronger tone.

According to him girls were just one (…) purpose toys. I hope the readers could get my point here. Yes he was more a cold-blooded animal than a human. Her eyes were furious. She was not like one in tenth girls who were either scared of him or fell for his snow job. She hated his attitude and he could feel her intense temper through her eyes.

“Where did you get this watch? Suits your wrist pretty well!” he tried pulling her hands but she escaped again. All he wanted was the one big thing to get done.

He took her silence for granted and moved forward to her. Poor man dint know the real strength of a throw ball player till then. His nose started bleeding and he could hardly spell a word.

“You Damn ****!!” she punched his nose again and he fell down back on the chair. It took no time for her to leave another mark on his face. She repeated “I am not what you think I am!!” and added “And Girls are created for better purpose than you think they are!”. It was her first time offending a person in her life time yet she dint feel guilt. Feel of pride filled all over her heart. She felt that she saved a whole lump of female kind from a merciless vampire.
