Mr. and Ms. Arrogant

Prologue

Luca reached the event on time. There were around fifty companies for the project of Banking bot. Revati was representing her company. Everybody submitted their projects to the committee. The committee reviewed all the projects and short listed 20 projects. Then they were called to present their proposal to the committee.

They again short lists 5 companies for the final round, out of which they liked Luca’s and Revati’s project. The committee called both of them and asked, “If the project is given to you within what time will you be able to present the prototype.” Luca had full confidence in his team and said he will submit within two months. Revati wanted to win the project badly, so she said, “ I can’t assure you a fixed time, since this needs to be specific, and handle with special care. But I guarantee you to complete the prototype with utter care and finesse, asap.”

The committee discussed both of their answers and said, “Mr. Livingstone, we like your confidence and your commitment is famous in this industry. But we like to give the work to Ms. Miller, since she seems to be more confident. Thanks for your time. We will mail you the terms and plan of the project asap.” Luca thought the ground had slipped from his feet. It’s the first time he did get a project. He wasn’t hurt, he lost the project, but he lost it to a girl. Revati was so excited that she couldn’t speak to her boss about the victory. She wanted to dance and shout to the whole world that she is not a loser. It was her first attempt to impress and win a project. 

Luca was boiling with anger seeing Revati’s smiling face. He went to his car and drove out of the parking lot in rage. He was so blinded with anger that he didn’t see the person in front of him. It was too late when he applied brakes, the car’s ORVM hit Revati’s hand. She spun and fell on the ground. He got down from the car and went to help Revati. She had bruises on her head and her hand was hurting badly. When she saw Luca was behind the accident, she yelled, “Wasn’t killing my mother enough for you. Now you want me dead because of a silly project.”
