Varun POV:-
" Wake up, Varun bro. " I heard my sweet sister's voice, which made me smile, but to annoy her a little, I groaned and turned my face. I heard her huff and she pulled the curtains, brightening the room just like she became the only light in my dark world.
I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was glowing in her pregnant appearance. Yes, my sister is married but she is younger than me. She found her love in her college days. Her husband was an orphan but he was a software engineer for a company. He also loved her a lot. So, I approved their love and marriage on the condition of him living with us. He is living with us happily in our home and calls me big brother although he is just a year younger than me.
I am Varun Mehra, CEO of Mehra Jewelers. I am 27 and I don't have any girlfriends like other men my age. I like to maintain a distance between me and other females. I am waiting for the destined one. People call me ruthless, but I don't give a damn about it. My sister, Preeti Khanna, and my brother-in-law, Vikas Khanna, are the only ones I can call a family. Our parents died when I turned 17. Many people tried to take over my family business, but my father taught me about business from I was 10. So, I tackled all the situations.
I might have committed suicide at that time if my sister had not made me realize she needed me like I needed someone.
Now, I am a successful person all because of her.
" Penny of your thoughts! " Preeti said and I came out of my thoughts and looked at her feet. Her feet swelled again. I made her sit on the bed and made her feet lie on my lap.
" How many times do I need to tell you to take a rest? I am your older brother. I can wake up on my own. You should worry about yourself first. Your due date is within a week. You are still a child. I wonder how you would handle my niece. " I stated while massaging her feet.
" Bhai, come on. Don't scold me when I am worried about you. Look at you. You are about to turn 28 in a month. I still didn't get a glimpse of my future bhabhi. I sometimes wonder, are you gay? " She replied and asked with a gasp.
I hit her head and said, " Aye, sis. You know very well I am straight. As for your sister-in-law, I don't like any girl for now. But when I like someone, you are the first one to know about it. " I replied with a smile when I saw her pout.
" Now, stay here and rest. I am coming in 15 minutes. " I said, and I went to the bathroom. As I said, it took me 15 minutes to take a shower and get ready. I came out wearing my dark blue suit, white shirt, and dark blue tie. I wore black socks and black shoes and black shoes. After that, I wore my silver-colored Rolex watch and my favorite citrus perfume.
" I am ready. Let's go. " I stated, and I helped her stand again.
We went to the dining table where my brother-in-law was arranging the table. Vikas didn't like the chef's handmade food. He preferred to cook for himself and I admit he is better than any chef around the world.
" Oh, you came. Come, have breakfast. " He stated and came to us. He hugged me and kissed my sister on her forehead. I may have looked stern at that moment, but inside I was happy to see that Vikas didn't care about my presence to show love to my sister.
I left my sister and Vikas took her and made her sit on her chair. He sat opposite her and I sat on the head seat. We had our breakfast and I left, leaving Vikas and Preeti alone. Vikas and I both work in our own companies, so our nanny takes care of my sister.
I came to my office at exactly 9 a.m. I don't like people driving for me. But I hired a driver. Today, he took a leave.
I parked my car in the basement and went to the top floor, which is my private floor. I got out of the elevator and saw the receptionist. They greeted me immediately and I gave them a nod and walked towards my office. I saw my PA, Arjun Sharma, and personal assistant Mahesh Gupta.
They both worked together and they were good at their work. They are loyal, stern, and passionate towards their work. Arjun told me about today's schedule while Mahesh gave me all the files I needed to review today.
Then I saw Arjun's face. His face told me he had something to say I wouldn't like at all.
" What is it? " I asked.
" Sir, Mr. Mehra and Mr. Shekhawat want to meet you regarding a project. They made a reservation at Spice Art at 6 p.m," Arjun confessed. My hands turned into fists.
Mr. Manish Mehra, my father's stepbrother. He is 57 but popular for his perverted ways. He had a wife and daughter. But 2 years ago, they died in an accident like my parents. But the reason for this accident was they were both drunk. Since then, he has shown his true colors. He has a 15% share in our company. He hates us. I wonder why he wants to meet me.
" Alright, I will meet them. For now, message all the HODs for a meeting at 4 p.m. in a conference room. I want to know the progress of current projects. " I stated, and they nodded. To find out accurate progress, I called for a meeting any time in a month. So, they won't slack off from their work. Let's see how this day goes.
