This story was published in Exbii before. It was a tremendously hit story. Every one read it and confirmed that it was a stunner. I must say that the author did a splendid job. I want to repost it in to my thread. I want to change the story a little bit. Pl. don't read it if you don't like reposting or recycling.

part1
It was a Saturday afternoon and my wife Monisha and I were shopping in the mall. While she went into a store and was picking things out by herself, I chose to walk around and look at stuffs. At one point I thought I noticed my boss Ravi Sohay entering a store. When I spotted him, I immediately went over to him to greet him.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the office raising sales for the company?" he said when he saw me.
“Yeah ... maybe I should. Actually I am here shopping with my wife”
Just then I saw Monisha coming towards us. She had finished with her shopping and was looking for me.
"Oh ... she is your wife? Glad to meet you," Ravi said, as he stepped up, took her hand, and politely shook it. "
"Monisha, this is Ravi Sohay, my boss."
"Nice to meet you...." Monisha said.
"I don't think we’ve ever met. I just hope he doesn't use too many four letter words when he is talking about me," Ravi replied. Monisha shrugged her shoulders. I seldom had much to say about Ravi when I got home from work in the evenings.
Ravi Sohay was the boss's son and had moved to FutureMedia Delhi from the office in Mumbai. The company decided that it was a good idea to spread their VPs around to different cities so that they could visit customers and help close big deals. When I met him he was friendly but the ladies at FutureMedia seemed to think he was great and talked about him all the time, telling me about all the great ideas he had for driving new business, which in the long run would mean more money for the company.
We stood and talked awkwardly for a few minutes and then went on about our business. As we walked away, Monisha said "While we were talking to him, we should have invited him over for dinner."
"I don't think that's such a good idea," I said.
"Why not?" Monisha asked.
"Didn't you notice how uncomfortable we all were? I got the feeling that Ravi wants to keep our relationship professional and think of the impression that might leave with the other sales guys if they knew you had invited my boss over for dinner." I answered.
As far as I was concerned, over the last couple of months, I had established a working friendship with Ravi. From the outset, Ravi let me run my territory without interference and spent his time working, on his side, to improve our sales in other territories.
Monisha understood the fact that I might have a difficult time with the distinction between boss and friend if I took further steps to get any close to Ravi.
"Well, all right. We'll forget about inviting him over for dinner then." Monisha said.
