Tanvi was in her cabin when her manager Jitender messaged her, “Come to my cabin.”


    With a sigh, she put her work aside and muttered under her breath, “Huh!! I’m sure he’ll ask about the presentation.”


    Inhaling a chunk of air, “But.. what to say? Even I don’t know the answer.” She soughed and left her cabin with a pout.


    “May Ie in.” She gave a slight knock and queried in her dulcet tone.


    Almost instantly, she heard a quick ‘yes’ and hesitantly strode in while a pleasing smile stered across her face.


    He nced at her, his gaze excited,”Any update?”


    Hearing that, she gulped and muttered, “No, Jitender. I’m waiting for them to contact me.”


    A frown settled on him, and he questioned with a raised brow, “Can’t you make the first move?”


    “Um… I don’t know whether I can directly send an email to Mr. Chauhan?” Tanvi pondered while fiddling with her fingers, “What if it’s not a good thing to contact him straight?”


    “Did you have his email?”


    Snapped back, “Yes, I found it. It’s in the coboration report.”


    “I heard that he’ll pick the good projects. You can send an email and discuss the project too.”


    “What the hell?” She cursed herself but nodded and left.


    Strode to her cabin, and dropped onto her chair while holding her head in despair, “How am I supposed to do that? He’s way too overpowering, and what if I did a mistake?”


    06:00 PM. Tanvi came nearby her apartment and decided to take a walk in a park. Dressed in a Georgette three-fourthce sleeved green dress with a knot in the front along with theced boat neck gave her an appealing look.


    While moving forward, the streets were as busy as ever, with people hurrying as if they were losing something, the greenery enveloping the area gave her peace of mind.


    Stepped inside the park, a fresh breeze weed her while messed her hair. Tanvi set with her slender fingers, kept the banging music onto her ears, and sat on the bench where children were ying hide and seek.


    Their moms are babbling while a few couples hold hands and looked intimate. An eerie feeling crept in her, “Ugh!” She averted her gaze when her screen lit up. It’s Advik.


    “Duffer?” Tanvi squealed.


    “Where were you?”


    “I’m at a park. What happened?”


    “What are you doing there?” Advik asked with an arched brow.


    “Uf. Shut the fuck up and tell me what’s the matter.”


    A loud chuckle ticked her, “Wait. Is Ameera with you?”


    “Yeah, Babe, we came to pick you up.”


    “For what were you picking me? Did I miss out on something?” Tanvi asked while her eyes narrowed as if she were in deep thoughts.


    “Dinner at Taj Mahal Pce?”


    Hearing that, a big smile settled on her pouty lips, “Woah! Our long wait was ended. I’m in.” Tanvi jumped in joy.


    “Silly girl.” They grinned aloud and hung up.


    At Taj Mahal Pce.


    The trio arrived there when the beautiful 240 foot high Moorish-Florentine dome invited them. This is a striking fixture on the city’s skyline which is an impressive blend of European, Imic, and Oriental style architecture.


    Therge swimming pool surrounded by the best garden with the cool breeze wiped away their worries. The reflections of the bright illuminations of the hotel on the pool water made it a pce.


    In the entrance, they walked on the red carpet holding hands with cheerful smiles on their faces when the hangingnterns from the sky roof ceiling stuck them.


    “Woah!!!” The trio said in unison.


    “This is more beautiful than in the pictures,” Ameera eximed.


    They explored the pce and reached their reserved table enveloped in golden beige color. Flipping through the menu, a strong masculine cologne hit her nostrils. “This seems familiar,” Tanvi thought and lifted her head.


    Her eyes met with cold obsidian brown eyes boring through her. In a second, she felt, “the entire world was stuck.” Her breath became heavy and averted her gaze. He passed her table with a client in business attire.


    He would be the center of attention where ever he went. The powerful aura emanating from him made Tanvi feel astounded.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    “Wait. Did he stare at me?” She was stunned when understanding dawned on her.


    “no, No. Why would he? Mr. Chauhan didn’t even know me.” She calmed her inner self.


    “He is my role model, man! See how his presence changed the mood.” Advik ttered in awe.


    “Getting his nce was a difficult task because he only attends business meetings,” Ameera revealed her research data while chuckling.


    “Correct. Even media people had no clue about him.”


    Tanvi was listening to their conversation without making a sound. “What do you say?” They questioned her when she was baffled.


    “What? You know I won’t pay much attention to celebrities.”


    “He’s a business tycoon, you dumbo.” Advik mocked her.


    She humphed while shrugging, making Ameera grin aloud.


    After a pause, Tanvi saidzily, “I’ve seen him yesterday.”


    “What?” They shouted. “How?”


    “Rted to a project, it’s just a glimpse.”


    “Did he speak with you? How was he in the office? Did he look the same?”


    “Ugh.” She sighed in annoyance and immersed herself in her food leaving Ameera and Advik dumbfounded.


    …


    Rudra hopped into hisvish red Ferrari afterpletion of the business meeting. He remembered his encounter with Tanvi, and a slight chuckle lingered on his lips.


    Maahir nced at him and licked his plump lips with a gulp before saying, “Boss.” Rudra gave him full attention in encouragement.


    “Ms. Tanvi…” Maahir blurted and paused while scratching his head.


    “Hmm.”


    “She presented yesterday on behalf of Umbro Technologies.”


    Rudra’s eyes widened in realization, “she’s dealing with this project?” Maahir nodded.


    “Give me the recorded video.”


    “I’ve emailed you yesterday itself. Mr. Henry contacted me about this project too. It seems pretty important to them.”


    With a slight nod, Rudra opened her presentation, “Hm. She’s not a show type, had good brains too.” After finishing her entire video, “A design of new software using blockchain technology tobine all the various industries data anypany owns into a private directory with multiple levels of protection.” He drifted into thoughts by weighing the pros and cons.


    “The project was indeed good, and it benefits The Chauhan Group a lot in this technology field. Since Ashely had broken thepany’s system, I might use this one, which provides many benefits and make the process easier with a higher level of security.” He concluded when his lips twitched into a curve.


    “I’m impressed with your work Tanvi. The way you lead the presentation, the details you provided, your style was indeed different. You sure are capable.” Rudra nodded in satisfaction.


    While driving the Ferrari, Maahir saw a rare glimpse of Rudra. “She intrigued him?” His eyes glued to the mirror and rolled skyward by the unveiling realization.


    “I’ve never seen this shade of emotion in him.” Maahir pondered.


    “Maahir.”


    Snapped back, “yes, Boss.”


    “Tell Mr. Henry that I’m signing off this project on my behalf.”


    “Okay, I will email him with the details.”


    A smirk lingered on his cold face as the realization sunk in his mind that he was going to encounter Tanvi a lot in theing days and he was pleasantly delighted to know her more!


    “Tanvi!” He mumbled ever so softly and a soft smile spread across his lips.
