Out of millions and trillions of people on Earth, I had to meet her again. Ugh! I can't tolerate people like her.

Hey, did you fall for her or what? Rajat asked, snapping me out of my trance

Me? Falling for her? No way! This won't happen in a million years. She's totally not my type I said, shaking my head vigorously.

Yes, that's a life-saving decision you made for your sake, Rajat replied, patting my back reassuringly.

But why? I asked, curious Yes, I know her personality is the worst of the worst, but still.

She's our boss, Rajat said, leaning back in his chair with a serious expression.

What? I almost yelled, the shock evident in my voice.

Yes, you heard that right, Rajat nodded. Lemme tell you about her. She fires employees like she breathes. And she insults them like she eats She is the rudest person you'll ever meet, and her anger issues? No one can tolerate that. The person will be either dead or all red from embarrassment.

So I intentionally dug my own grave. Wow. Now my job is gone. I'll be fired! And probably dead, I thought to myself, laughing like a helpless maniac inside. A cold sweat broke out on my forehead. No, I can't lose my job. I need to avoid her. I need to hide from her if I want to survive.

Hello! You space out a lot, bro, Rajat said, poking me.

I just... I was listening So, she's been like this from the start? I asked absentmindedly moving my spoon in my food.

I joined a year ago, so I don't know about the previous years, but she's always been like this. It must be from the past, he said while drinking water.

After completing our lunch we went to our own desks. I was freaking out, wondering how I would handle this mess.

I wish I could undo the moment.

Releasing a heavy sigh i just got busy with my work that was left

After completing our lunch, we went to our own desks. I was freaking out, wondering how I would handle this mess. I wished I could undo the moment. Releasing a heavy sigh, I just got busy with the work that was left.

Suddenly, someone came into the office and announced, All new employees, please proceed to the seminar room.

Great, just what I needed. I gathered my things and followed the others to the seminar. As I entered the room, I saw her sitting near the front. Panic surged through me. I quickly made my way to the back, choosing the last seat to stay out of her sight.

Before sitting down, I ruffled my hair to make it look messy and pulled out my spectacles, hoping they would help me blend in. I slouched slightly in my chair, trying to become invisible. My heart pounded as I glanced around, praying she wouldn’t notice me.

The seminar began, but I could barely focus. My mind kept drifting back to her, and I couldn't shake the feeling of dread. I took a deep breath and tried to pay attention, hoping this day would soon be over.

Then, someone came around handing out forms for us to fill in. I took one, The form seemed straightforward enough, just basic information about our backgrounds and previous experience. But I couldn’t stop myself from glancing up every few seconds to make sure she hadn’t spotted me.

And finally the seminar came to an end I ran off at the speed of light

Rajat called me, and I hummed in response.

Are you really that scared of her? I mean, our CEO. Don't get me wrong, but it felt like you were hiding yourself. Were you? he asked, turning his chair towards me.

How much can I trust you? I asked, adjusting my spectacles.

As much as you want, he said, looking confused.

Can you keep secrets? I asked in a hushed tone.

I can. I am a secret keeper for all my friends and cousins, he said proudly.

So, I'll let you in on a secret.

Ok, go on, he said.

And I told him everything that happened yesterday.

You did what? he screamed at the top of his lungs, and everyone started looking at us.

I'm sorry, don't mind him. He's just overreacting.

Sorry bro but I was to stunned to not shout he said looking around

And now I know that I dig my own grave I said sighing

I don't think you'll be able to hide from her for much time

I don't have any others solution for this i won't be able to find another job and I'm a fresher i said

Yes, he said sighing

Riham, I have an idea you should get a plastic surgery said rajat

Are you insane for that woman I should change my heavenly face no way

I don't think you'll be able to hide from her for much longer Rajat said, leaning back in his chair with a sigh

I ran a hand through my hair feeling frustrated, I don't have any other solution for this. I won't be able to find another job, and I'm a fresher.

Rajat sighed deeply, tapping his fingers on the desk thoughtfully

Yes, it's tough But Riham, I have an idea.

I looked at him, hopeful but wary What is it?

He leaned forward, eyes glinting with mischief. You should get plastic surgery.

My jaw dropped. Are you insane? For that woman, I should change my heavenly face? No way!

Rajat chuckled, shaking his head. Okay, maybe not plastic surgery. But you need to find a way to change your appearance so you'll look different

I clenched my fists in frustration, feeling the tension build in my shoulders. Ahh, I'm feeling more frustrated I'll just leave it as it is If I get fired, that'll be my destiny. Let's go with the flow.

Rajat's expression softened, and he leaned forward, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Listen Riham, if you do get fired, I’ll help you until you get a new job You’re not alone in this.

I looked at him, gratitude mixing with my anxiety. Thanks, Rajat. That means a lot.

He smiled, giving my shoulder a firm squeeze. No problem, man. We'll figure this out together.
