Raj's POV:
I came to my office after that incident. I tried hard to concentrate on my work, but my mind was stuck on that cafe girl. Who the hell does she think she is?. She was the first one who actually dared to talk like that to me. I swear if Nic wouldn't have called, then I surely would have taught her to behave with me. I can't believe I let her go this easily. That damn girl spoiled my good mood. I need to settle scores with her. She can't get away after talking to me like that. She insulted me, I will make her pay double.' I thought on my mind.
" Namrata, come inside for a minute" I called my friend, my secretary Namrata or Nic through the intercom.
Just after 10 seconds, I heard her knocking on the door.
"Yes, Come in." I said in a calm tone. Although she is my friend but I don't want to tell her about 'her' because she is a talebearer. Anyways, so where were we, yes she came inside in her usual happy mood. "Hello Raj, you back. How was the meeting?, Did you got the deal? Shall we celebrate?" She said all in one go.
"The meeting was good Nic, I got the deal, but we will celebrate some other day. I called you here to tell you to cancel all my appointments and meetings for the day. I have some work. I am leaving early today." I replied in a stern tone, picked up my car keys and was about to open the door but stopped mid-way when she asked," It's alright but where are you going? what work do you have? And how come I don't know about it?"
"It's a family matter Nic, I will meet you tomorrow now, Bye." I told her and left from the office without glancing back at her direction.
I went to my best friend or private investigator Abhishek's house. I could've simply called him but I needed a change of mind and driving to his place is the best for changing my mind.
Well, if you guys are thinking when did I went to any meeting, then let me tell you it all happened on my way back from the lunch meeting with my clients in a hotel.
I rang the bell of his door, he opened after a few minutes.
"Oh hii, Dude... What's up man? Long time no see. How are you these days?." He embraced me in a brotherly hug, with a big smile on his face.
"Hey bro.. I am good. just busy in business, you know. The clients, deals, contract meetings and all. Anyways I need your help?"
"Ohh alright..Sure sure, do you even need to ask?, come have a seat." He pulled me towards the couch.
"What would you like to have?, beer, whiskey, vodka, tequila. or any other brand." See this is why I like this boy, he already knows what I want.
"Just the regular, bro." I replied back while making myself comfortable on his couch.
He brought two bottles of whiskey and sat beside me while preparing the shots.
"Now start." He said while giving me a glass.
I told him everything, how she talked to me and her rude behavior which irked me the most, and I still don't even know her name.
He started laughing, he f*****g laughed while I shared it all to him..
"D-Dude, y-you.. haha.. s-she is really in-interesting." He said in the middle of his laugh, I glared hard for him which resulted in shutting his laughs.
"This is not funny okay. I need you to find her. I will settle the scores with her myself." I said still glaring at him and smirking at the last sentence.
"Settle the scores or ask her out?. You know she is the first girl who didn't fell on your charms and even talked back to you. And this is the first time you asked me to find a girl for you...I think you have something for her." He teased me.
"For f**k's sake, Just shut up Abhishek, or you'll find yourself unconscious on this very couch tomorrow morning.†I cursed, irritated by his unusual teasing.
"Oh hoyy.. calm down boy.. No need to be hyper. Alright I'll just find your girl." He said emphasizing the word 'your'.

Its been weeks but there is no news of her. Abhishek said she left her work the next day itself and the old lady refused to give any of her details. I remember there was a name tag on her uniform that day but I was too busy on handling the situation that I forgot to look at it.
I told him to continue his work, and to tell me if he got anything.
"I won’t stop looking for you, Goldfish" I made a promise on my mind.
Little did I know destiny already planned to bring us together. I met her again at different situation, different country and as a totally different person. And the anger, hatred or whatever you call it, turned into something ..something like. Infatuation, lust, admiration or.. I don't know.
