Diya's POV
You know when people say, 'I work hard regardless of sun and rain'? Well, I am experiencing that right now. LITERALLY! I think you can already guess my current state. I am drenched from head to toe. The rain doesn't seem to stop any time soon and I can't seem to find any shelter from the rain either. It's a freaking open parking place and there is not even a roof to save me from this downpour. I wonder how the guards working here protect themselves from sun and rain? Are they actually forced to bring umbrella and raincoat every single day? I can't even imagine myself carrying my water bottle every day to school. Anyways, that's not the problem for now.
I am shivering and my clothes are sticking to my body like a second layer. Luckily, I have this greeny vest thingy to protect my modesty. I signed and looked up at the dark sky clouded by grey clouds. " I know that you hate me.....But I didn't know that you despise me!" I huffed and continue my work, wishing it would end soon. You will pay for this jerk face!
Rahul's POV
" Sorry for the delay gentlemen. Shall we begin?" I said entering the conference room. " Certainly Mr Ranawat...." said Mr Joy, one of my board members. " I hope you all know why we have gathered here today?" I asked them while going through the annual report that Mr Jones handed over to me moments ago. " Certainly, it's regarding the trap that the Watsons used to fool us in the name of a deal" seethed Mr Cameron who is also my dad's close friend.
Say what? Trap? Deal? Fool? Am I missing something over here? What crap are they uttering? I am not getting it one bit.
" Excuse me but we didn't get the deal," I said irritated. " And that's exactly our point. It's good that you didn't fall for it. It could have caused us millions" he said in a very relieved tone. Okay, I am officially confused! What the fuck is he saying anyway? This meeting was supposed to be me explaining about my sorry ass for failing the deal but these guys are actually relieved about it. Aren't they not gonna screw me with their questions for not signing the deal? Why am I seeing happiness and pride in their eyes? I am going crazy? Can someone please explain to me what the actual fuck is going on?
" Mr Cameron is absolutely right. I can't believe that the Watsons went to this extend to ruin us. They actually plotted this entire thing to bring our company down. Thank God we have been saved. All thanks to our diplomatic CEO" said Mr Knight patting my right shoulder. " Yeah and that fucktard Ali helped them to scheme this shit. Fucking bastard!" spat Reece, Mr Cameron's son. " Language son..." said Mr Cameron sternly. " Whatever....I don't give a fuck" said Reece nonchalantly while Mr Cameron glared at him for which Reece acted as if his dad was invisible.
"Ali.....?" I asked as I was so done with these father and son banterings. " Yup, Arash Ali. The dude who received the best businessman award along with you. Looks like that asshole doesn't like sharing" said Reece looking at Mr Cameron, challenging him to correct his language for which Mr Cameron just signed making his son smirk in return.
Looking at my confused state, Mr Joy took the honour of explaining the situation to me. " Son, the Watsons used to have personal problems with your father back then. As the years passed, we taught they might have forgotten about that because after some time the even started acting civil with us with much professionalism but now thinking of it, they clearly didn't forget anything. They have been patiently waiting like a hawk for the right time to strike. About Mr Aarash....he hated your guts in business. He wanted to be the only business tycoon and not share the place with anyone else. Therefore, both of them joined hands to destroy us with this perfectly schemed deal. In other words, perfectly schemed trap" said Mr Joy shocking the hell out of me.
Damn....I taught I went through every nook and crook of the deal. I made sure to check each and every part of it. Then, how is this even possible? So this time it was because of dad's enemosity with the Watsons. Means....Arjun has nothing to do with this....but...
" By the way son, how did you found out the trap behind their deal," Mr Chameron asked curiously. " I did-" I started to explain that I had no clue but Mr Jones beat me to it. " We have our ways, Mr Chameron," he said giving me a knowing look and turn to Mr Chameron smiling genuinely. " Sure you do bro!" said Reece smirking at us. I think he saw through us already. You may think why the hell do we even have this idiotic asshole in here in the first place but trust me, he has brains and when I say he has brains he surely has the brains to figure it out that I had no clue about the whole ordeal until I reach the conference room. Smartass I must say.
I just ignored his stupid smirk. Then, suddenly I remembered something. Is there by any chance.....Diya might have be innocent? Of course, SHE IS INNOCENT YOU IDIOT! My eyes widened upon realisation. Shit shit shit! Finally, it dawned on me that she is working under the rain, all because of my hasty conclusion. The dark sky roaring with thunder and lightning made me snap out of my current trance. I quickly bolted out of the conference room not bothering about the gentlemen who were throwing questioning looks at me. My secretary will take care of that.
