Breathing heavily, she turned around at the sound of footsteps. It was Nancy, carrying a notepad in her hands.

" The meeting's about to start. All the shareholders are already there! " She stated casually, ignoring Sofya's flushed face and pink ears.

As a matter of fact, she had a general idea of who Sofya had been talking to and bringing up the matter would only cause misery to singles like her, so she let the matter slide.

Sofya nodded. They walked out of her office together, each lost in their own thoughts. As they reached the conference room, Sofya asked Nancy in a whisper, " Mr. Jabari, he's in there, isn't he?

" Of course, the notice sent to him was special. " Nancy replied. She knew what was going to happen in the meeting, so she didn't hold herself back. This meeting had been called for the discussion as well as for a traitor to be exposed. As a result, she was quite excited.

As Sofya entered the conference room, all the business magnates stood up. There was a certain aura around Sofya which demanded respect. Everyone who had business dealings with her and even out of the circle, knew what a crazy goal oriented woman she was. She had always believed in fair dealings, and by no means would accept any bribes or illegal route for the development of the company, even if it meant her own destruction.

Sofya smiled and waved them down. As soon she sat at the head table, each one took their own seat and looked at her expectantly. Sawyer handed her the black file as she began speaking, " So today we are discussing.... "

The meeting went on for about two and a half hours with the agenda being discussed and agreed upon by everyone. Then there was the big matter - expansion of the company into other areas, mainly real estate. Sofya had been planning for a long time of diversifying but couldn't decide the right time. But since all the shareholders were there now, she might as well voice her opinion.

" And last but not the least, I have been thinking about diversifying this company from fashion industry to real estate business. " Sofya announced, her hands folded and elbows supporting her face as she leaned forward.

The result was as she expected. There was an immediate buzzing around the table as she said this. The men and women were leaning towards each other, talking in whispers before complimenting on this latest development. As the buzzing intensified, Sofya tapped her fingers on the table and an immediate silence fell in the room.

" You are welcome to think and give me your opinions in the next meeting. I would hear you all out before taking any further decision. The capital required and the formalities will be carried out smoothly, you will each receive a detailed description for the same. However, " she paused, as she looked at the man sitting at the left corner of the table and continued in a dangerous voice " I am interested in knowing Mr. Jabari's opinion on this matter. "

The man called Mr. Jabari looked up in shock. He had not expected her to pin point him in giving his opinion. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel as if he had been caught. Swallowing, he stared into her dark eyes as he answered, " Miss Khemka... "
