Chapter 54 - The contract

"Erina, is everything ready?" sitting on the sofa chair in his bedroom, with his phone buried between his left side face and neck, his hands busy with the shoelace, Vihaan enquired.

He listen to the other side and spoke after a minute" Good, make sure nothing is out of the place" and hanging up the phone stood up to move toward the full view mirror.

He scans himself from top to bottom and then vice versa for more than two times. He was looking his usual, handsome and hot in his Black suit and a light blue shirt.

But, he was not yet satisfied with his looks.

Adjusting his hair for the hundredth times, he murmured to himself" I am, almost done" and move toward the wardrobe once again.

Opening the tie section, he rummaged his fingers through several ties and after a minute, pick up two ties, a pure black silk tie and dark grey in solid colour.

Moving back toward the mirror, he looks at himself with black and then with grey. The confusion was evident on his face and, he wondered which one to use.. He again tries both of them and, finally, he made his mind.

All he hoped was, Shanaya would find him attractive as if her opinion matters a lot to him.

.................................................

More than a week had passed since Avni wedding and Shanaya had shifted in her own apartment which, was fifteen minutes away from Rathore Mansion and twenty-twenty five minutes away from Rathore's company.

After signing the deal, she had given it to Vansh and was surprised when Vansh had hugged her in joy. She had no idea everyone was eager for her to accept the deal.

It felt to her as if they were welcoming her in their business as a worthy partner, rather than, just some business partner.

And she could not be happier. After such a long time, she had finally found something she had always wished.

Yes, she was an ambitious woman and, she knows the importance of working with 'The Rathore's'.

She had started looking for the apartment after she was sure she was going to work with Rathore's, she had asked her PA in Hyderabad office, Ms Kriti, a single mother in her '30s to accompany her in the job as her PA again. As for her Hyderabad office, she had handed it to one of her senior employee John and had asked all of them to work properly under him.

It took her five days to finalised the apartment and a whole day to arrange it. She had purchased no extra furniture, just a single bed, two sofa chairs and some bedsheets.

The same goes for the kitchen stuff and other necessary things. The apartment was 2 BHK with bathroom, kitchen and a small lobby where she had kept three flower pots.

The apartment was a ground floor with the facility of car parking, which was one of the reasons she had finalised it.

The rooms were neither large nor small and, she had placed the single bed, two sofa chairs and a flower vessel on one of the rooms. The second room was empty except the two mannequins and, she had thought of keeping it as her workroom.

Emerging out from the shower with a brown towel wrapped on her body, she reached the cupboard to pick up the dress. It was her first day in Rathore's and, she was nervous but excited at the same time.

Before she could pick the dress, her phone rang and, she hurriedly went toward her bed. Picking up the phone, she speaks without listening to another side" Vansh, I am nervous yrr!"

Playing with her hair with her free hand, she listens to Vansh and spoke"Thank you Vanshu! I will be ready" and hung up the phone.

Vansh was going to pick her up and then they were together going to the company. Vash was going to be the Managing Director of the company and Vihaan had asked him along with Shanaya for the press conference.

Keeping the phone back, she moved toward the closet when her gaze fell on her favourite black jogger. And, the flashes of the incidents of the kitchen passed in front of her eyes. The blushes were evidence of the embarrassment she had faced knowing the fact Vihaan had come to know about the periods.

She might be an extrovert, but she had never shared the details of her periods with any of her male friends. For her, it was personal and something she could only share, with the person she loves.

Hoping the meeting won't be awkward and he won't remember anything about it, Shana went for the dress to get ready.

...........................................................................................

"Erina, the press conference should start exactly at ten and, it should not exceed more than twenty minutes." sitting in his office on his chair, providing the necessary information to his PA Erina, Vihaan checked his watch and, found it to be almost nine.

Vansh had called him earlier informing he was going to pick Shana on his way to the office and guessing by, the distance he was sure they would be in the office within fifteen minutes.

He was thinking about the incidents with Shana when the knock on the door disturbed his thoughts and, he found Erina coming inside and speaking "Sir, Kritika is here".

"Let her come in".

Soon enough, a tall, slim and curvaceous girl in a short black dress revealing her long toned legs, long brown straight hair reaching her waist and, her beautiful face professionally done with the perfect makeup, appear.

Smiling at Vihaan, she spoke " Hey baby" and, moved forward to hug him.

"Kritika" avoiding the hug, he took her hand with a polite smile and gesturing toward the sofa, asked her to sit down.

Once they were seated, Vihaan was the first to speak" Yes, Kritika,"

Judging his professional mode, Kritika did not think of casual talks and spoke: "Erina asked me to stop by for Contract extension agreement."
