Chapter 15 - Planning

1339 Words
It was morning , a sunny beautiful morning . I still didn't get to know who had switched the lights off ? My thoughts wandered to a robber but after double crossing Ethan I got to know that nothing was stolen . The second thought I had was about the mysterious stalker I had . That would have been really creepy . Or I had switched off the lights myself at midnight .. That might be the case . Thinking that was the case I had drifted off to sleep . Because thinking like that made me sleep peacefully .However the facilities that our firm gave were endless. First of all this was a five star hotel . Secondly , We had free buffet breakfast at the hotel . We also had the pleasure to visit all the hotel had to offer us - swimming pool , gym , billiards , spa etc. Now coming to the cons of the whole trip - We didn't get free time at all , even though we were so many miles away , I had to attend all the calls and emails  and coordinate everything happening in the office . Secondly , When I would get some time off it would be either nature calls ,  or breakfast time .    Today was the day the architectural meet started . It is a three day high dramatic , over popular , uber rich event for the best architects in the world . The best architect would be felicitated with an award and world recognition . Yesterday was the inaugural meet and we weren't supposed to attend it  only the devil and Abdul were . So why did he bring us? To dance . Note the sarcasm .Actually our work was  on the third day of the event where our projects , model whatever you call it , were to be shown to each respected jury who will look at the quality and precision of the work and then decide who will win . As per my knowledge more than 30 jury will be present along with some FBI's . No not the criminal-capturing-FBI . I meant these were the people who disguise themselves as normal onlookers but are one of the jury .So we were given strict instruction to look out and stay behaved . We had our breakfast earlier and were now called up to the penthouse . In case you hadn't known that's where our boss lives . Today for some unknown reason I was in a good mood so I gave a tiny biny attention to my outfit ........because its a five star property . I put a maroon tank top with brown trousers and a green embroidered coat . And that caught attentions from my fellow folks . " Doesn't someone look different today ?" Abdul commented . All heads turned to me . Why did you have to say that ? Now over 4 people plus some 5 strangers turned . I was already blushing .. " Now stop it guys " " But it suits you " Logan said  " Thanks "  The topic of my outfit soon died down . We all were standing near the door of the suite. Abdul went forward and knocked . A few seconds later the door was opened by a young man in a butlers costume . He is a butler , silly  . We all went in and sat on the sofa . To tell you the truth this suite could at least hold all five of us . It is so huge . Beige walls with intricate paintings , smooth caramel carpets hugging the floor and a chandelier on the double height room . It was a fantasy ,panoramic views of Milan from a magnificent terrace furnished with outside sofa and dining table. It wasn't too very decorated but as they say '  Less is More ' . A while later our boss entered . The granite  face was usual and so was his attire . He strode in with grace as he took a seat right opposite to ours .   " Where's Kristen ?" " She's actually at her room . Since she has fever . She has it from yesterday night , sir ." Logan said  " Fever ? Now ? When she's supposed to be working " he boomed  " I cannot have someone who is not in use for me . Send her to New York from the next flight available ." He said . That was so cruel . I may not like Kristen but indicating that she is useless just because she has fever is hideous . You know my respect for him was nil again . Before I had time to ponder over other things he spoke - " Now there are three important points I need you to keep in mind " We all kept our senses clear out of any distraction . " Number 1 , I need you to take this event seriously . No gags, jokes or pranks will go unseen " " Number 2 , Be polite yet sophisticated when you explain the whole project to people . I want them to understand everything you say to them ." " Number 3 , If some taunts or offends you or the others do not back answer . We clearly don't want any patriotism for the team . That is especially for you Ms. Raykar " All heads turned and locked their gazes on mine . I just put my head down a little . Oh boy was I flushed . Soon the heads turned to their original  positions back again .   " Now that all the formalities are clear . You may now leave ." He turned and left . We all awkwardly stood up and left one by one . We all decided to return to our respective rooms . Since I had nothing to do I headed for the gym . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By the time I returned from my gym it was 3 pm pair that up with an hour long shower to sooth all the aches the work out had caused . Plus as a bonus I slept which resulted more relaxation for me . However , by the time I was fully awake from my slumber it was 8 pm . Talk about my sleeping abilities . Oh and Kristen had been sent back to New York by the next flight . No one should be ever treated like trash . Sometimes I hate how men sound and act mean . Yes, they may not be as emotional as we but some are just like granite a.k.a My boss . The door bell rang as I got up from my bed and eyed through the key hole . Logan . I swung the door open with a smile on my face . " Hi "  " Hey " " What have you decided to do now ? I mean dinner " Oh yes , I forgot to mention . The dinner rates over here were huge . I think the same amount could buy descent meal for 10 people in some standard diner .Yesterday we stuffed ourselves a lot in the airline provided meals so we were saved . Now it was a different thing . An idea sparked into the wicked little mind of mine . The devilish 'me' was grinning from my right shoulder while the angel on my left pleaded not to . But I had decided to go with the devil . " Why don't we crash the party ?" I asked my eyes gleaming with excitement . " You don't mean that par-" " I do mean that party ." " How are we supposed to get in ? " " Oh you don't worry about that . All we need is a right uniform ." I grinned  Things are gonna get interesting ......
