The Adopted baby

Met Him Again

Third Person's POV:

She is now in her 3rd year of college, but have opened her own firm, her own business with the money. She started it last year after quitting her part time job and in just a span of one year her business have reached to great limits. Yet, no one knows about the CEO of the firm, except her employees and her brother. She never gave any interviews as she doesn't want to reveal her identity to her college and also because she have not yet told about it to her parents. They still treat her like a small kid, thinking about her happiness, her enjoyment.

Her friend Myra is the PA in her company and handles 90 % of her work. Anaya  works from her room that too the most important ones. Yaa,, I know you all must be thinking that isn't Myra the same girl she met on her accident who were of her age. But no, Myra was a year senior from Anaya, and graduated a year before her. So she is not a student anymore and is a proper employee and Anaya's best friend.

Now, let's get back to the story, from 

Anaya's POV:

I got out from the shower, wore my clothes and got ready to go to the college. 

"Mom, Mom where are you?, what's in the breakfast today? Mom I am getting late... please hurry." I shouted for her as she is the one who makes breakfast for us by her hands, dad and we all never liked the food prepared by the servants, so yeahh my mom makes it everyday with her hands. And sometimes me on vacations.

"Here they are, your favourite white pasta." Mom came from the kitchen with a plate of white pastas in her hands. "Lemme call your dad too, he was getting ready to go to the office, he will drop you off to your college too." She said while handling me the plate.

I just hummed and she went towards her room. Today I have to visit my firm, need to check up on the work by personally visiting there. I'll go there after the classes.

"Good morning baby girl" My dad's words pulled me out of my thoughts. "Good morning daddy dearest." I replied in the same sweet tone.

"Hello di, How are you today.?" My brother came running down the stairs and told while hugging me, his own usual style of greeting someone. "Hello little bro. And I am good, come sit have breakfast." 

And he pulled out a chair beside me and shifted in it. Mom was serving them their food while I was just munching on my plate. Damn,, it's so delicious.. "Mom, it'zz yummmm. You have magic in your hands." I complimented her. "Thanks dear, now hurry up or you'll end up late." She muttered back.

My brother was my junior in college. So he's going to tag along with us. I wanted to tell about my business to dad but looks like I won't get any alone time with him today. Maybe I'll need to wait some more days to disclose this truth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At college I submitted my projects for this year. And attended the lectures. I was going to bunk some of my classes today. Because I have already read it and don't need to learn it again through the boring lectures.

I called Myra to inform about my arrival. She said she had a news for me too. I booked a cab and reached there. Normally I would drive my car but since today I got college with dad and Yash, so I don't have any car right now. 

At the office everyone greeted me and I greeted back very politely. I know many of the CEO's out there behave rudely with their employees, but I am not one of them. For me they are my family, they are the reason the business is in this position, I am nothing without their support and I appreciate it. So yeahh.. I treat them all very respectfully and they do the same to me too. I then went towards my cabin.

Myra followed me inside. Once we were inside she closed the door and hugged me tightly,,,,aww I missed her a lot too.. I hugged her back with the same power she was applying on me.

"you b***h, you have no idea how much I missed you, why didn't you visited me sooner?" She complained after breaking the hug.

"Awww,, I missed you too babe, but you know na these college and their assignments..Then the pending works from other branches. I just couldn't got any time to come out of the house. By the way don't you think you're the first employee to curse on your boss." I said teasing her.

"Well, you can't blame it. You know I am quite unique and so is my boss. And I know she won't mind, infact she likes it too.. Doesn't she?" She replied in the same tone as mine.

I chuckled and hugged her again, before going to my chair and opening my system. Changing my tone from playful to serious one I asked her.

"So, what were the news you were talking about?, And how is everything going on here?, Any problems, Any complains, which I should concern myself with?"

"Actually, there is this gala coming over in which you're invited in, most of the important businessmen from all over the world are going to attend it. It will be very beneficial for us, if we get to be their business associates. They are already pretty impressed by our progress report, they wanted to meet you at the gala and proposed that they would like to discuss the details by meeting you personally."  She replied sliding the invitation letter towards me on the table.

"Then what are you waiting for, book my tickets and make reservations. If it's that important then there is no way I am backing down. And arrange someone to assist me in explaining my business motives and other details."  I ordered her, while starting my system to check for the transactions and work that had been done and the work that needed my attention.

"Sure, I'll get it done right away, I'll take my leave now. See you later bye."  She greeted before walking out of the door.

I spent sometime there, making sure to run my eyes through each of the recent works. Don't take me wrong. I trust my employees, it's just I have a habit to check up things for myself. I then left from there, checked into my other 3 branches to make sure everything is running smoothly and left for home.

The day was pretty exhausting, managing 4 branches of the firm alone is not an easy task to do, but still I love my job, I am planning to expand it further to other cities too.

I had my dinner and now I am in my room laying on the bed, thinking about the amendments I can make to ensure smooth running of the business. And soon I drifted off to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got up in the morning with the sound of the beautiful ringing bell, my alarm sound. I did my morning routine and went to the gym downstairs. After doing exercise for quite half an hour, I came back got a shower and got ready to go to the college. I will need to take a leave from the college.

I had my breakfast with the usual teasing, greeting and happy mood of the family and was on my way to the college. I couldn't talk with dad today too as he left in a hurry.  I was putting earphones listening one of my fav songs, when my phone beeped. I looked to see Myra's message:

"The gala is at 9th of the next month in hongkong. I informed them you're coming and they made the reservations for you. I tried to refuse but they insisted saying it's their way to welcome you so I let them be. You have one week to prepare for it. I'll remind you again, and will send you a proper dress for the occasion too. And your branch manager from Noida branch along with his assistant Mr. Khanna and  Ms. Payal are going to assist you in your visit. Let me know if you have any objection. Alright, bye" 

I am very excited for this occasion. It is the first time I am going to a party to represent my business. But I am quite nervous too, I felt something upsetting is going to happen as well. I don't know it's just my intuition, but anyways I know I can get through it. I wanted to take Myra with me, but couldn't as she needs to be here to take care of things.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, the gala day.

Right now, I am in Hong Kong, setting my clothes for the function. I called my subordinates as it's time to leave now.

The black limo was parked outside for us. We got into it, carefully trying not to damage the dress.

I got all the best messages from my brother and Myra. I didn't told mom and dad about it yet. I was planning to but never got the right time to do that. Ohh s**t!! Speaking of dad,,, is he going to attend this too???... Omg! I am doomed, he will get a shock to know that his business rival, the person who owns the chains of the famous jewelry company 'A.S jewelry Fashion' is his own daughter, me, Aanya soni?.. I still can't disclose my identity. I am still a college student. My college life will be in trouble once they got to know me.

I called Myra and ordered her to make sure, there should be no media at my arrival. I don't want to disclose my identity yet. She replied positively. 

We entered into the gala after being greeted with the organizers. The place was very fancy as expected from the world famous organisation. 

I entered into the hall to see it decorated with peach and white decoratives, many chandeliers were lit in different corners of the hall and the stairs, a mild soft tune ringing in the background, people wearing trendy fashionable party wears and were roaming with their dates, some were on the pub area having wines and talking, some were swaying their hips with their partners on the music. 

I was finding someone, probably the people I want my firm to be associated with, and I met them, they were three men and with their subordinates. I got introduced to them by the person which was accompanying me since I entered in here. They told me how glad they are to meet me and how impressed they are with my performance, and then we signed the contract after discussing the details.

I was just moving around when someone stopped by me. I was astonished to look at him, it's not like I had not expected him to come here, but still meeting him here looking so dashing, had my heart to skip a beat. I regained my composure when he asked, "Hey,, look who we have here?, aren't you the waitress girl?,  do you remember me,,  Goldfish?."

"Nice to meet you sir, and it's Ms. Anaya, not Goldfish, yes we have met before under unprofessional circumstances. But I don't remember you, you had not done anything for me to remember you." I stated to him in a total professional tone. He clearly looked surprised to see me here and was staring at me with open eyes, trying to still believe whatever he is seeing is indeed true. 

We were still talking then the spotlight fell on us, what?  they wanted us to dance?..Like really dance?..It's not like I can't but dance with him?, I don't even know his name, all I know about him is that he is Mr. reckless. But It will be rude to refuse when all the eyes are on us isn' it?. He then suddenly fell on one knee and extended his left hand for me to take, unwantedly and after a little resistance, I held his hand and he led me to the dance floor.

He held my waist, I placed my hand on his chest, his eyes gazing into me, and we began swaying with the music.

"you look beautiful." He complimented me in a hushed tone, that sent the shivers down my spine. But I didn't showed it to him. I don't want him to feel any satisfaction that he had some effect on me.

"I know" I replied with a mocking smirk. He expression changed suddenly and he tightened his hold on me, pulling me closer to him. 

"By the way, don't you think you should share introduction now? I told you my name and still don't know yours. It doesn't sound quite right." I asked trying to change his mood so that he let me go from his tight hold.

"You don't know me or you pretending to don't know me?" He said in a mocking tone.

"Well, I just know you are Indian like me." I replied smirking. I really don't know him, Myra does the work of keeping tabs on rivals and just informs me the matters which needed my concern.

"You are unbelievable" He exclaimed, "Anyways, I am Raj, Rajshekhar Swarnakar, CEO of Raj Diamonds in Delhi." He finally introduced himself. "And may I know your profession?, coz, you sure don't look like a waitress in here." He added.

I can't tell him my profession, not yet. "You will need to wait for an year to know my profession, sir." I mocked him by using professional tone.

"Well, don't you think you're being unfair. I mean fine if you don't want to tell me your profession, but what's with the professional behavior?"

"I know I am always unfair. And I like to keep things professional." I said, we were so lost in our talks that I didn't even realise that the music ended. I got out of my trance when I heard applause from around us.

I got out of his hold and politely bowed down to thank everyone, stretching my gown a little from the side and with a smiling face. And he nodded at them too.

We got down from the dance floor and I saw someone familiar in a corner holding a glass of champagne staring at me. I got stunned looking at him. Oh God,, I need your help. The guy was none other than

'My dad'
