ARINI'S POV ~
After 3 hours of training , Its now 5.30 am and as much as I know mumma wakes up at 6 am . I placed the Sniper Gun back in the room from where I've taken it .
Both I and Chachu went inside the lift and I pressed the Ground-floor button as when I came , I've left my bags in living room and before mumma wakes up and scolds me , I need to take those bags to my room .
I entered inside my room with bags on my both hands and walked towards my study as one of those bags only contain awards and files and other two have only dresses and footwears and skincare so those I've kept inside my closet .
After placing everything in their right place and sat on my bed and a notification pinged in my phone .
Bhavya : Ma'am today you have to visit the newly opened department store at 9 am and I've heard that the staff members were planning to throw a small party to congratulate you for your award and You have Meeting with Raichands at 3 pm .
What a crazy personal assistant I have ...Who sends whole day details at 5.45 in the morning .
Arini : Are there any options to skip the party ?
Bhavya : Unfortunately , they've already prepared everything so , No you can't skip the party .
Arini : Okay .
Bhavya : I will pick you up at 8.45 am .
Arini : Okay .
I kept my phone aside and wore my gym outfit and went inside the private gym which was in my floor .
~ After 2 hours
I checked the time It was 8 am , I turned off the machines and went inside my room and took a shower .
After taking a shower and doing my skincare , now it's time to select today's outfit . I went inside my walking closet and after 20 minutes of outfit search , I've decided the dress .
After getting ready I checked myself once in mirror .
"Looking perfect as always ." I said to myself and went downstairs where everyone must be having breakfast . I went downstairs and wished everyone good morning and sit in dining table with everyone .
Mumma served me breakfast and asked "What time did your flight landed in Mumbai ? "
"Around 2 am ".
She said in concerned tone "You should've rested one day in Singapore , why did you rushed and returned the same day you went there ."
"Mumma I had made few work commitments and also I have an important meeting today and also a new department store visit ...so I can't delay all this . "
Papa spoke "Ye sab to bahana hai asal baat ye hai ki Sikhar aaj vapas aya hai or Arini ko award mila hai toh kuchh naya sikhne ke liye wapas aayi hai ye turant ."
(All this is just an excuse, the real thing is that Shikhar has to come back today and since Arini has received an award, she has come back to learn some new skills from him. )
"arey bhai hamare baare me baatein ho rhi hame bhi bataiye kya chal raha hai " Said chachu coming downstairs .
"Nothing chachu , come sit with us and have breakfast " I said .
Papa said " Sikhar how did the training camp at Amritsar went ?"
Chachu replied "Everything went well Bhaiya ."
After finishing my breakfast I messaged Bhavya that I am ready and this girl just arrived within 2 minutes , like she spawned but It's okay we'll reach on time .
"I've informed the department store head staff that you are coming there by 9 am so they should be prepared "Bhavya said.
"Okay ."
"Ma'am about the Raichands , There is something fishy going on like they have done 3 meetings with VK Industries in this week " Bhavya spoke.
"There's nothing wrong in doing meetings with others until you've given commitment to one which certainly they haven't . Rest you can ask them about this in our today's meeting ." I replied.
"Ma'am one more- " Bhavya was about to speak when I cut her off " Bhavya , I have told you when we are outside the office you can call me by my name and secondly don't overthink about Raichands we can clear things out in today's meeting . No more questions . Okay ?"
"Okay mam- i mean Ms. Rajvansh" Bhavya nodded.
We reached at the location and guards opened the door of my car and i went inside the store , It was of 6 floors .
As I entered I heard loud glass breaking noise and when i went towards that direction I saw many people gathered and recording with their phones along with staff members of the store .
As I reached near the crowd , a man was yelling at manager of the store very loudly "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T REFUND THE MONEY HUHH ? I AM SAYING THIS PRODUCT IS STILL NEW WE HAVE'NT EVEN OPENED IT YET ."
The manager spoke "Sir I can understand but we can't return once sold items , it's against our policy plus you kept it for one month now you are asking for refund it's not possible ."
"WHATT NOT POSSIBLE HUHHH THAT'S HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS, WAIT I WILL MAKE SURE YOU'LL GET FIRED CALL THE CEO OF THIS COMPANY HERE " the man again shouted .
"Sir calm down we can't call the CEO for this that too right now ." The manager replied .
The man who was yelling threw the product from his hand and the glass bottle broke and all fluid inside it fell on floor "I SAID GOOO AND FUCKING CALL THE CEO HEREEE !"
"The CEO is here " I said in cold tone .
Everyone turned towards me , the manager slightly bowed his head and I just nodded at him .
The man who was shouting looked at me and yelled "Where's the CEO huh ...How dare you to mess around huh "
I chuckled bitterly "I am the CEO and yes you are right Manager Mr. Sinha did treated you wrong ."
I turned towards the manager and spoke "Mr. Sinha , I am very disappointed from you . We have strict rule that if someone misbehaves with employees they have complete right to call the police and sue them and the company will support the employee . "
Mr. Sinha looked at me and that man who was yelling again shouted "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING HERE I-"
I cut his sentence and spoke in cold tone maintaining eye contact "Keep . Your . Voice . Low "
"And yes You've heard me right , And the company's legal team will officially sue you for the damage that you caused and misbehaving with the Manager and The CEO . And trust me its gonna be so bad that not only you , even your upcoming seven generations will think 100 times before misbehaving with someone . " I continued .
"Officer take him from here " I said looking at officer as I called the police when I understood the situation .
The manager spoke "Ma'am we are really sorry that you visited the store first time and this all happened "
"There's no need to be sorry and do not get scared from anyone's weightless threats and No need to tolerate any misbehaviour of any customer . " I replied .
He then showed me whole store from groundfloor to top floor . Bhavya was writing all the things I told to change or upgrade and at last she gave the paper to Mr. Sinha .
"Okay Mr. Sinha , that's all I want to change rest everything is fine ." I said .
"We will do it as soon as possible. "
I nodded and Both I and Bhavya went out from the store and I spoke "Bhavya I'll drive the car "
Bhavya said "Ms. Rajvansh sorry but you don't drive the car you make the car fly and drive the people sitting inside it carzy and I have whole day pending to work I can't afford a trip to hospital today atleast ."
I looked at her and said "Ms. Bhavya I am not asking you , I am ordering you to give me the keys I will drive the car ."
She nodded and gave me the keys and said "Can I take the Cab instead ?"
I sit inside the car on driving seat and replied "No , sit in the passenger seat ."
She sighed and sat beside me .
I started the car and accelerate it until it reached 95 km/hr , and looked at bhavya she was grabbing her seat from one hand and her seatbelt from another . I just smirked and increased the speed more .
"Ms. Rajvansh we don't have infinite lives , with this speed we will reach Moon instead of office Please slow down . " Bhavya spoke
"Are you hungry Bhavya ?" I asked while driving
"No Ms. Rajvansh" she replied .
"But It's already lunchtime how you are not hungry ? " I asked again.
She didn't replied just tightened her hold on her seat and seatbelt .
"But I am hungry let's go to the restaurant " I said and Drifted the Car on turn as driving BMW without drifting is no fun .
"MS. RAJVANSHHHHH .....SLOWW DOWN THE SPEEDD " Bhavya screamed .
I stopped the car and spoke "We are here Ms. Bhavya , come on lets eat something then we will go to office ."
She came out of the car and trust me she was looking like a scared cat . I controlled my laugh and we both went inside the restaurant .
After filling our stomachs we came outside and this time Bhavya sat in driving seat before I could even ask for keys .
We reached The office by 1 pm , I came out from the car and glanced the building , 23 floors and A big label at centre ' AR ' . I went inside and loud party popper sound get filled in the floor .
Everyone in unison spoke "CONGRATULATIONS ARINI MA'AM FOR WINNING BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD ."
I just nodded but then bhavya murmured into my ears "Ma'am please atleast smile and say few nice things to them they are working for this from yesterday night ."
I smiled and spoke "Thank you everyone and yea I didn't got that award all because of myself ...You guys are also one of the reasons for it ...so thank you for your efforts and we will together keep winning and growing ."
I then murmured at Bhavya "Is this enough or should I start crying also "
She spoke "This is enough ."
My expression again changed into emotionless and I walked towards lift and pressed 23rd floor that's where my cabin is .
I sat on my chair in my cabin and started working on my laptop just then i got messages in my phone , I opened it and saw the photos from award function .
I go through every photos and they were no doubt perfect and when I opened last photo It was of Me and that Jerk Singhania dancing . I zoomed in that photo and then zoomed out for about 10 minutes and then closed my phone .
2 Hours later ~
Bhavya entered inside my cabin and spoke "Mam The Raichands are here ."
I asked "Apart from Mr. Raichand who else is with him"
she replied "His management team and His Company's Legal director "
I nodded "Okay you go , I'll be there in a moment ."
She left the cabin and I picked up my phone and texted someone and walked towards the meeting room .
I went inside the room and everyone stood up , i nodded and said "Let's begin ."
Mr. Raichand spoke with extra sweet voice I know it's all fake but yea "Congrats Ms. Rajvansh For- " . I cut his sentence and spoke "Thanks for your appreciation Mr. Raichand but we are not here to discuss about my success , stick to the concerned topic ."
He glared at me and I ignored his pumpkin face , he continued "As per our plan , We are working on that eco friendly vehicles and devices that won't harm the environment ."
"You are working on eco friendly vehicles that will work with help of non eco friendly batteries and devices that will emit harmful radiations Mr. Raichand and that's not how you save the environment " I said .
"And also your batteries have failed it's quality test more than three times , How much guarantee will you take that it won't explode on heavy loads or high temperature . If you can't prove that in tests you can never win audience's trust and without trust they are not going to buy or risk their capitals on anything ." I continued .
He wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead .
"Should I lower the room temperature ? " Bhavya asked .
"No Ms. Chandel , It's alright " Mr. Raichand spoke .
"Ms. Rajvansh , Our company has been using those batteries for more than decades and there were no such issues ." He continued
But I cut him in middle "We are living in 21st century not in 20th century Mr. Raichand and you need to live in present and continuously improve yourself for your own good . People these days check each and every thing before investing their capitals in it and they should do it . You can not claim that your batteries work perfectly fine a decade ago so they will work fine now also , no one will believe you and these days technologies are touching the sky modern devices need modern technology which your batteries certainly are not providing . "
"What do you want to prove from saying all this Ms. Rajvansh " He said in low yet mean tone .
"That there is no improvement in your batteries and in your attitude Mr. Raichand and that's not the mindset I will ever work with ." I replied .
"But you've signed the deal with us ." His Company's legal director spoke .
He is looking like tomato . Shut up you idiot this is serious situation.
"And Can you tell me what that deal say " I replied .
"That if any party breaks the deal in middle , Other one can sue them legally and also they have to pay a fine of 20 million excluding the cost of manufacture of the products . " He spoke .
5........4.....3.....2......1........
"So here's the copy of official lawsuit filed against RC &CO. by AR GROUP OF INDUSTRIES and rest we will see you in court Mr. Raichand . " Chhavi said while entering inside the meeting gate .
Bingo !!!
"That's our Legal director Ms. Chhavi Malhotra ." I said .
"What do you mean huh ? How can you Sue us ? " Mr. Raichand spoke .
Chhavi took out few photos from a file showed them "You already had broken the deal a lot before as signing the same deal with VK INDUSTRIES but not even informing us and now when you thought It's going to be out on media lets do a blunder and accuse our company for breaking the deal . How Childish Mr. Raichand ."
"I am going to see all of you in court " Mr. Raichand spoke with a flared nose .
"Have a nice dayyy Mr. Raichanddd " Chhavi said as him and his team went out of the office .
After everyone left the meeting room and only bhavya , chhavi and I left . Chhavi and I looked at each other and started laughing .
"Ms. Rajvansh how did you ? I mean when did you planned all this ." Bhavya asked .
"When you informed me about Raichands Signing deal with VK industries in the morning and I felt something fishy but after an hour Chhavi also said the same thing so I asked Our PR team to get some info about this and later when Chhavi was in Court I messaged her everything and rest all happened infront of you . " I spoke .
"And did you see that Mr. Raichand face was exact like pumpkin and that too flared pumpkin " Chhavi said while laughing and I just shook my head .
I checked the time and It was 5.30 pm and since I was tired and didn't got my proper sleep also so I decided to go back home a bit early today .
I was about to enter the lift but Chhavi dramatically placed her hand infront of me and lift door and asked "hmmm hmmm Kaha chali madam abhi toh adhe ghante hain na abhi se jaa rhi ....koi date vate hai kya "
(Hmm hmm where are you going madam, it's still half an hour left for end of working hours and since you are leaving now...is there any date ?)
I gave her I am so done look "Seriously bro tera dimaag sirf date , relationship takk hi chalta hai kya ? Or meri company hai mai 6 baje jau ya 5.30 parr mera mnn or Mera aaj ka kaam nipat gya hai varna Bhavya madam hi nhi jaane deti ."
(Seriously bro, does your mind only last till dates and relationships? And this is my company, It's my choice that I go at 6 or 5.30, my work for today is over, otherwise Bhavya madam would not have let me go .)
"Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki vo CEO hai or mai uski personal assistant ." I continued .
(Sometimes it feels like she is the CEO and I am her personal assistant)
"Akhir hire kisne kiya hai usko " Chhavi said with a wide grin .
(Afterall who has hired her )
"Yea One problem creating another problem for me ....nothing new ." I replied .
"Kya yaar koi kadar hi nhi hai bestfriend ki jaa tu ghar hi jaa boring akdu kahi ki ." She said and went inside her cabin .
(there is no respect for your best friend, go home overall are boring and arrogant)
[Do hit the star button ⭐ and if already did then ignore this like you ignore your toxic relatives 😏]
I shook my head and entered inside the lift and went directly to parking area and started my car and left for home .
After 40 minutes of jam and traffic , I finally reached my home and parked my car and went inside .
"Arini beta , aaj jaldi aagye " Papa said .
"Yea , My today's work was finished and I was tired so I thought to come back and get a good sleep ." I replied .
"Okay okay ...go have some rest " He said .
I went towards lift as I don't have any plans to go to 3rd floor upstairs . And as the lift opened my eyes got widened and I yelled .
"YOUUUUUUUU ! "
It was none other than that Jerk Singhania .
"HOW DARE YOU TO EN- "I was about to complete that sentence but someone's voice cut me off.
"What happened Arini beta " Mumma spoke and next to her was standing Mr. Singhania's Mom .
"Namaste Aunty , nothing mumma I thought I just saw a Lizard , but it was just some dust ." I replied .
"Namaste beta , And congratulations Award ke liye " Rounita Aunty said .
"Thank you Aunty . Aap aaj achanak yaha ?" I asked .
(You are suddenly here today .)
"Yea , I have to discuss something with Ruhani and Aksh also said he has something to give you ." Aunty said .
He only gives me headache , lets see what is it this time .
"Okay Aunty .... ".
Both Aunty and Mumma left for living area and I turned towards Mr. Singhania .
He shook his head and spoke "Lizard seriously ? where have you seen a lizard of 6'2 height ."
"I spoke whatever came into my mind ." I replied nonchalantly .
We both went towards garden area and I sat in swing while he was just standing .
"So what's the new headache you wanna give me ?" I asked .
"What ? No it's bigger than the headache you know ...I have two things to tell you ." he spoke
"Continue " I nodded .
"First thing is Mom is planning a family trip to Uttarakhand and she wants that your family including you join us ."
I widened my eyes "WHATTTT ! NO WAY "
"My reaction was also same but before she could emotionally blackmail me I said yes but I am really not interested ." he continued .
"So what do you want from me ?" I asked .
"I want you to help me to come out from this situation . " He said .
I smirked "And why would I do that ?"
"Why can't you just agree without terms and conditions " He spoke .
"It's my choice and speak nicely if you want HELP " I spoke .
He took a deep breath and exhaled and then spoke "Ms. Rajvansh , With all respect this useless Aksh Singhania is asking for your dearly help to escape from this family trip and stuff . "
I smirked more and said " Mr. Singhania when you ask for a favour you need to say 'Please'. "
He glared at me and then said "Please Ms. Rajvansh ."
"Okay fine . Lets go to them ." I said getting up from swing .
We both went inside in living room where Rounita Aunty and mumma were talking .
I spoke "Mumma I have something to tell you "
She nodded .
"I am going to Newyork for 1 month business trip and Since it's my first time So I want Mr. Singhania to come with me as he had his company's branch in Newyork . And the Business trip is next week ."
Both Mumma and Rounita aunty looked at each other and aunty spoke "Arini but We had planned a family trip to Uttarakhand with Ours and Yours family and you both sudden trip ."
"Yea Mr. Singhania also told me about the trip but for our new foreign launch I need to see management and new technologies and Sorry but We can't manage to family trip this time ."I said.
"It's okay beta , I understand you both go this time but do join us next time ." Aunty said .
We nodded .
After coming out from lift I looked at him and spoke "Now you owe me one ."
he said in surprised tone "How could she just agree this easily , Am I adopted or what ."
I controlled my laugh .
"And what business trip , how did you think of all this so fast huh " He asked .
"Talent Mr. Singhania Talent " I grinned
He went near a table and picked up golden medium sized trophy and gave me .
"What's this ?" I asked .
"When you left from the award function , they called both of us but then gave me this and said that this is award for best dance couple . So yea I kept mine one at my house and this one was yours ." He spoke .
"Oh okay ..." I nodded .
I went inside the lift and pressed 3rd floor where my room is . I placed the award in my study and changed into comfortable clothes and lie on bed while scrolling through my phone .
