chapter 18

When they finally reached the ninth floor..."Omg ... This is incredible" She can't hold herself any longer, she expressed excitedly. "This isn't a workplace, it's heaven" she was whispering whatever appear on her mind, she thought Shashank is far enough from them and he isn't hearing anything as he is a step distant from them. Shashank is enjoying her words, he is just so happy to see her "She hasn't changed a bit" that was the expression behind his smile. Suddenly she grabbed Vihaan's hand to stop him and he turned around "Vihaan..." She whisperedHe looked at her "Hm...?""Can we go there after the meeting?" She asked in a whispering voice pointing out at the building, they can see through the glass.Vihaan almost thought that she forgot to bring something important again. However, he was relieved after hearing that. "okay" he flashed a smile.They finally entered the meeting room there was already a person standing near at CEO's chair with a file in his hand, and as soon as he saw them "All the files for a meeting...." he tried to say something but Shashank interrupted him in the middle of his sentence."Yes sir, all the files are ready as you asked," he said making weird expressions.That person was surprised and confused too but before he said or ask anything else Shashank continued talking"Sir, Mr Vihaan and Ms Manasvini are her, I escorted them here by myself" "Sir.....?" This was the only word that came out of the confused person's mouth, he still didn't understand why Shashank was addressing him as "sir""Be my boss for today" Shashank muttered without voice."You are the CEO of MM group" he was trying to tell that person."Ye...Yes..... I am the boss" a confused person added,He finally got what Shashank was trying to tell him"Hello Mr Vihaan, I am sh... SK Malhotra, CEO of MM group" confused person asserted."You don't have to say that, you idiot" Shashank mumbled.So meeting started, they started a discussion about their proposal for MM group's new project but their meeting ended too soon because the confused person didn't ask anything regarding the proposal, he was so uncomfortable at being boss, he dropped water on official papers although Shashank somehow managed to save them."I'm sorry sir, the boss isn't feeling well today," Shashank said looking at how terrified that confused person was"But he insisted not to cancel today's meeting" Shashank continued his sentence"Mr Malhotra, health is the most important thing, we can schedule this meeting for some other time," Vihaan said "Thank you for your understanding, sir" Shashank replied with a smile.After hearing that, the confused person stood up quickly, so did Vihaan and raised his hand for a handshake, the confused person took his hand and after that Vihaan and Manu came out. Thankfully 'the meeting' went not too badly. "How come you are so bad at acting?" Shashank said to the confused person"If I could act I would be an actor " He mumbled."You almost messed up everything," Shashank said"Exactly that's why you need to tell me in advance" Adarsh repliedShashank and Adarsh were schoolmates, so they are good friends, and they are partners in the MM group as well but Adarsh was a bit conservative, he was nervous around new people. He wanted to keep a low profile So Shashank is the only owner public knows."But why did you do that?" Adarsh asked"That is because.....""Because of this" Shashank said showing him something, that he always carries around."A paper flower?" Adarsh asked with confused expressions again."It's not just a paper flower" Shashank replied and took that flower back from his hand"See... When you open it like this...." He opened those petalsThere is something written in the centre, inside of those petals'STBSLY'"STBSLY ...., what does it mean?" Adarsh asked.Shashank smiled because that is what he asked her too...
