16. Realization of Fault
Siddharth’s P.O.V.
Exiting from Dad’s office we reached his secretary’s desk. She was talking on the office phone about some appointments. Seeing us approaching her, she quickly stood on her feet from her chair. Dad gestured her to sit and waited for her to finish her call.
“I will check about this in appointment schedule and will confirm the time to you after asking Mr. Malhotra. Sure Sir. Have a nice day. ” saying this she disconnected the call.
“Radhika , is Mr. Thakur arrived for meeting?? Dad asked her.
“Yes Sir, I was about to inform you after this call. They are waiting for you Sir.” She informed us.
Dad gave a firm nod to her and ushered towards meeting room and said, “Come Sid, lets go.”
He entered meeting room smilingly and I followed behind him.
As we entered, people in meeting room rose on their feet for Dad or I can say for their CEO.
I casually roamed my eyes in the room while my Dad was shaking hands with a gentleman. I guess he must be Mr. Thakur for whom my Dad was asking to Radhika. There was one more guy standing next to Mr. Thakur, but I have no idea who he was.
After the small casual chat with Mr. Thakur, my Dad starting to move toward his seat, I followed behind him quietly.
Suddenly I saw a girl standing beside the other guy, but I clearly remember that when I earlier looked through the room I saw only two persons here, no girl was there.
‘From where she came?’
Her face was in other direction.
I averted my eyes from her and looked towards Mr. Thakur and the other guy. After that, I moved in front of that girl who already turned to look our side.
I stopped in my tracks as my eyes met her eyes again.
‘What is she doing here?’
I didn’t expect to see her again, so soon and that too in this meeting room.
I was astonished on her presence in this high level meeting.
She was also looking shocked.
Suddenly, the incident from the morning wallop in my head. Anger and fury wrapped up my senses again.
‘How dare she accuse me for being a p*****t?’
I shot her a death glare.
Now she is also mirroring my reactions. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and then averted her eyes from me to my Dad.
I kept looking to her for a while.
I want to rant on her for accusing me. I want to put some sense into her over imaginary head. I want to lease out my anger on her.
But…
But I can't.
Something in her stops me for doing all this.
If I think about it now, then I realize she was not at fault in thinking me as a p*****t because I myself was literally checking her out. And any normal girl like her will go mad in this type of situation, when a bad guy like me was looking her from tip to toe intently. I could not stop myself for looking her with earnest and eager attention.
Any decent girl would feel the same way between the stern gaze of a stranger on her body.
So the conclusion is that the actual fault was mine.
Thinking about all this, my anger subsided.
She is indeed a decent girl,
and …
I like it.
I thought and moved toward where my Dad got settled.
“Good Morning” they all greeted together.
“Good Morning, please take your seats.” Dad said smiling to them and they sat down on their respective seats.
They all were sitting on the left side of my Dad’s seat and I was on his right. Practically I was sitting almost opposite of her.
So I am getting a good view of her face now.
She looked towards me and quickly averted her eyes off me.
I liked the look on her face. She looked like a tigress wanting to hunt her prey.
Hmm…nice. I smirked.
“Yes, shall we start” My Dad’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts.
“Yes Sir” they again said in unison.
So Dad started again, “Ok, first of all let me introduce you to this young man. This is Sid, my dear friend’s son.” He said pointing his hand towards me.
“He has recently completed his MBA. He wanted to do a start up so my friend requested me to be his mentor.
So he is joining us from today.”
‘What the f**k??’
‘Start up and ……and what he said mentor’ what rubbish is he talking.
I frowned on his words. And then I recalled of his plan about hiding my identity form all.
Thinking I mentally rolled my eyes on him.
‘My Dad and his stupid plans.’
And he again started, “Now let me come on main point of this meeting. Our company is going online.
And we have to do a grand App-Launch for our very first online application for our fashion products. Everything should be on a grand scale. We are going to do a big fashion show with this App-Launch. All big business tycoons and celebrities will be invited. This App-Launch should be full of entertainment.” He said last few lines with dreamy eyes.
I don’t have any idea about why he is mentioning all this to us in this meeting. What’s his purpose of dragging me in here?
I was again in deep thoughts when someone squealed.
“Oh wow”
I saw the other guy sitting in between Mr. Thakur and that girl was looking quite excited.
Not only me but everyone was looking towards him.
My Dad nodded his head to him and turned his gaze towards me.
“Sid I need you to organize this grand launch event. This will be your assignment.”
And here comes the bomb.
It was not a Bomb actually it was Missile; big and destructive.
This is not over yet, I knew from the look on his face.
Then he averted his eyes towards Mr. Thakur and said, “Mr. Thakur, I asked you for providing us with your best person that will guide and help Sid with this App-Launch Event. Have you decided who will take this responsibility?”
Holy s**t!
I cursed my Dad internally and after listening to this s**t, I really wanted to walk away from here.
He is not only trapping me here but also want to place someone on my head to monitor my actions.
What the…..??
‘Best person ..Huh…. my foot'
‘guide and help me’
‘ Am I a five year kid who needs a guardian’
‘No way’
I scrunched my nose on the thought of this pathetic idea of his.
Now it is Mr. Thakur’s turn to launch next Missile on me.
He looked in that other guy’s direction and spoke, “Satya is already involved in so many assignments. So I guess he will not be able to focus on this new and grand assignment.”
‘Oh’
‘So, he is that Satya to whom she was talking on phone in the elevator.’
‘Hmm...I see.’
‘But why she called and asked him for help?’
‘Are they seeing around each other?’
‘No this can't happen’
I was in my deep thoughts when I heard him (Mr. Thakur) say, “So I decided that Rabnoor will be doing this assignment on behalf of Admin Department.”
‘Now who is this ‘Rabnoor’?’
‘Can anyone please tell me, what’s going in here?’
Its getting on my nerves now.
‘Argh’
I noticed everyone is looking in her direction.
‘Why everyone looking towards her?’
‘Is she is having any connection with it?’
‘Please somebody tell me too’
AUTHOR NOTE: POOR SID, HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS MEETING ROOM RIGHT NOW. AND WHEN HE WILL GET TO KNOW ABOUT THIS THAT THE GIRL ON WHOM HE IS FANTASIZING IS GOING TO BE HIS MENTOR, HIS SITUATION IS WORTH IMAGINING.
WHAT U GUYS THINK WILL HAPPEN IN NEXT CHAPTER?
DO LET ME KNOW IN COMMENTS.
I WILL LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS.
