Chapter 43: The Notice Board & Heart-to-Heart & Dangerous Kiss
The moment Nikitha and Tharun approached the entrance together, she noticed a small crowd gathered near the notice board.
Sharmi and Priya were standing there, looking visibly shocked.
Her heart sank. What now, Did Jay's and my Secret got exposed?
She walked closer, eyes scanning the freshly posted notice.
OFFICIAL NOTICE
Subject: Transfer & Disciplinary Action
Following multiple complaints and an internal review, Ms. Anjali Sharma has been placed under 3 months suspension effective immediately. She will be transferred to the Mumbai Head Office in a non-lead capacity. Any further violations of the "Professional Conduct" policy will result in immediate termination.
The company reiterates that romantic or personal relationships between employees in the same branch are strictly prohibited. Any confirmed breach will lead to severe action.
Nikitha froze. Anjali… suspended and transferred?
Sharmi turned and saw her. The worry on Sharmi’s face was unmistakable. She quickly pulled Nikitha aside, away from the crowd.
“Nikitha… we need to talk,” Sharmi said in a low, serious voice.
They moved to a quieter corner near the pantry.
Once they were in a quieter corner near the pantry, Sharmi took a deep breath and spoke bluntly.
“Anjali tried to seduce HR. She thought she could use the complaints to get close to him and save herself after feeling neglected by Jay. But HR is a righteous man. He slapped her and pushed her away immediately. Then he started digging into her past — the storage room incidents with Jay, everything. That’s why she got suspended and transferred to Mumbai. As Jay is important person, they just leave him without any trouble. May be he will get a warning.. even that is doubtful given how his name was ignored.”
Nikitha stood there stunned, processing the information.
Sharmi continued, her tone softening with genuine concern, “I know I might be crossing a line, but I can’t stay silent anymore. Everyone in the office has been talking. For years, people thought you had a thing for Jay. The way you looked at him, asked for lifts, lived in the same building… the whole floor assumed you were trying for a secret affair. No one dared say it to your face because you’re senior and well-liked. Every one things bad about you , even though they know you are living a lonely life with husband never care about you and stayed in abroad. People only blamed you. Thank goodness Jay never showed interest and was only involved with Anjali, or your name would have been ruined long ago.”
Nikitha felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment. She had no idea the impression she had left all these years.
Sharmi continued, her tone softening with genuine concern, “Now with Tharun… I see how close you two have become. You’re coming together every day. I’m not judging your personal life. I know things with your husband have been strained for a long time. If you need emotional or physical attention, that’s your choice. But please… be careful. Don’t do anything inside the office. Don’t come together like this anymore. Jay and you are from the same building — that’s fine. But tagging along with Tharun openly will complicate everything. Especially after what happened with Anjali.”
Sharmi paused, then added gently, “If you’re really interested in Tharun, that’s your decision. Your personal, But first clarify things properly. I dont know whats the issue with your husband who is in abroad.. is the things are unfixable between you two that you constaly choosing someone. First Jay now Tharun? Unlike Jay, who did not give attention, Tharun seems to give you a lot. Speak to everyone involved take a decision before start. Don’t jump in too fast. If you choose Tharun even after that, Talk properly know each other better before starting a relationship , dont judge a person with how they show their smartness in work, relationship is different, Compatibility matters. I don’t want to see you get hurt or dragged into trouble like Anjali.”
Nikitha stood there, stunned. She felt exposed, embarrassed, and strangely grateful for Sharmi’s honest words. For the first time, she realized how her actions had looked to everyone around her.
Sharmi excused herself and left without a word. For a moment Nikki's eyes landed on Jay's place, she wanted to know what would be his mindset, but she doesnt want to complicate things, so she decided to stay idle and hear him in the night.
But after what Sharmi said, her head was filled with a serious thinking on what she should do with Tharun..
An hour later, Nikitha who wanted a signature from Tharun walked toward Tharun’s cabin. Her mind was racing. I need to talk to him. We have to set some rules. We can’t keep doing this so openly.
I need to speak about slowing down, knowing each other better before something serious relationship begins.
The moment she entered his cabin — a spacious, semi-soundproof room befitting his new permanent manager status — Tharun’s eyes lit up with dangerous hunger.
Before she could even speak, he stood up, closed the door behind her with a soft click, and pushed her gently but firmly against the wall. His body pressed into hers, trapping her between the cool surface and his warmth.
“Tharun… wait, we need to talk—” she started, voice shaky.
But he didn’t let her finish. He captured her lips in a deep, hungry kiss. His hands gripped her waist, pulling her closer as if he had been waiting all morning for this. The kiss started intense and possessive, his mouth claiming hers with urgency. Nikitha’s hands instinctively pressed against his chest, but she didn’t push him away. Soft moans escaped both of them as the kiss deepened.
After a few heated minutes, she broke the kiss, breathing heavily, her lips already swollen.
“Tharun… stop,” she whispered, trying to regain control. “We need to set boundaries. We can’t keep doing this in the office. We have to slow down. I came here to talk properly—”
But Tharun only smiled, eyes dark with desire. He tilted her chin up and pulled her back into another kiss, this one even more passionate. He turned her body, pressing her against the adjacent wall, their movements rolling from one side to the other as he devoured her mouth. His hands roamed her back, pulling her hips against him. Nikitha’s resistance melted again as their bodies moved together in the confined space.
This kiss lasted longer, wet and urgent, their breaths mingling. When they finally broke apart for air, both were flushed and panting.
Before she could speak again, Tharun leaned in for the third time, capturing her lips in a long, slow, consuming kiss. This one stretched nearly fifteen minutes. Their tongues explored each other deeply — tasting, teasing, dancing in slow, sensual strokes. Tharun’s hands cupped her face, then slid down her sides, gripping her waist as he pressed her harder against the wall. Soft, needy moans filled the cabin as they lost themselves in each other.
When they finally parted, Tharun rested his forehead against hers, breathing ragged.
“I just wanted to finish what was unfinished last night,” he whispered huskily, voice thick with desire. “You have no idea how much I’ve been thinking about you…”

Nikitha stood there, chest heaving, lips tingling, her mind spinning.
She realized with a jolt how dangerously she had allowed things to escalate like this, that Tharun boldly doing without a permission.. She had come here to set boundaries, but the glimpse Tharun shows, alarmed her, set rules before it turns wild.
“Tharun… we need to slow down,” she said, voice shaky. “We can’t keep doing this in the office. We have to be careful and personally we need some boundaries.
Tharun eyes looking at her, with numerous questions.
