Vaidehi sat on the swing of her balcony sipping chocolate shake.
Life is so uncertain. Who though that the girl who never went any where alone, has come to New York all by herself –to fulfil her dream.
She sigh and she felt a weird feeling bubble in the pit of her stomach, as if some kind of a big storm is about to hit her like.
She felt homesick. She missed each and everyone of her family. Also ,she felt irritated by the presence of that creepy man!
It was as if she was having thousands and thousands of emotions.
Am I PMsing? She though to herself and opened a packet of chip and stuffed a handful of it on her face and munched like a chipmunk.
Someone knock on her door and she groaned lazily.
Who dare interrupt my–me time!?She thought and let out a huff and longingly looked at the packet of chip.
"Open the door, idiot!" She heard Rithika's voice.
Groaning ,she got up and opened the door and glared at her,"Yes,what do you want?"
Rithika gave her a big smile and Vaidehi looked at her in suspicion.
"My lovely bestie ,can't I just come here to check on you?" She said dramatically and placed a hand near her heart and feigned hurt.
Vaidehi narrowed her eyes in suspicion,"What do you want? Why are you buttering me?"
"Me and buttering? Tsk ,tsk you thing so low of me ,Vaidu." she gasped and wiped her fake tears.
"Not melting. Tell me what you want."Vaidehi said with a straight face.
"Come shopping with me tomorrow." Rithika rolled her eyes and ordered Vaidehi.
"You could have asked that to me some other time ,why now?" Vaidehi narrowed her eyes with a hand on hips.
Rithika grinned,"Come and help me bake a cake for Aarav. Pleaseeeee." She said and gave her best puppy dog face that she learned from Vaidehi.
Vaidehi closed her eyes tightly,"Noooooo, I am not going. You know very well –how clumsy I can be. Don't blame me if I burn down your house!"
"Shut up, and come with me!" Rithika pulled and Vaidehi with her.
Vaidehi let out a huff and puffed her face like a kid, while she was being pull away by Rithika.

"Lets bake!"Rithika said cheerfully and clapped her hands.
"Yes, yes lets burn down the cake." Vaidehi said with a fake enthusiasm and Rithika glared at her.
"Stop whining a chimpanzee and help me bake."
"Sure! Let burn down your house." She said in a sing-a-song manner and clap her hand with a sarcastic smile.
"Come on! Stop being a spoil sport! I know you like to bake." Rithika glared at her.
"And who is that great person who told that to you?" Vaidehi raised her eye brow.
"Shut up! No talking only baking."She said and made Vaidehi wear a chef hat and apron.
"Let's bake!"She raised her hand cheerfully.

A few moments later.
Vaidehi stood with batter all over her and Rithika.
While Rithika glared at her with a spatula in her hand.
"You are a walking disaster, Vaidehi Aggarwal!"She said and glared at Vaidehi ,who looked down.
"Bu–but I did told you that I can't cook or bake." Vaidehi pouted looking at her.
"Shut up! Just shut up.Who mixes a batter like that!?"Rithika said pointing the spatula toward Vaidehi, who staggered back and looked down.
"Go and wash yourself! And now, I have clean this all!" Rithika said and groaned.
"I–I will help?"Vaidehi looked at Rithika innocently.
"NO,YOU WILL GO TO YOUR ROOM ,TAKE A BATH AND DO WHATEVER YOU WHERE DOING! UNDERSTOOD!? "
Vaidehi nodded her head frantically and quickly ran toward her room.

In Paris.
Damien sat on his car and headed toward the place where meeting will be held.
He went through all the files and mentally prepared himself for any kind of circumstances, that were about to come.
His meeting was with the Bewitched Fashion–one of the leading fashion houses in France.
But his main problem here was that his rival–Antonio Rodríguez.
A wicked man with wicked motives. He will do anything to get this deal. Anything means anthing–killing Damien as well.
He let out a breath and looked ahead.
He will not give up. This deal means a lot to him and he will give his best, he though to himself.
.
.
.
.
Reaching the meeting room, Damien was greeted by Abbie Beaumont–Head of Bewitched Fashion. Dressed in office wear –looking elegant yet professionally.
"Hello Mrs. Beaumont." Damien said with a smile and shook her hand.
"Please have a sit Mr.Ryder.We will begin the meeting shortly." She said with a smile.
Damien nodded and took his sit.
"Mr. Damien Ryder, it's nice seeing you after so long." A heavy voice said.
Damien turned his head and saw that Antonio Rodríguez, sitting opposite of him and smiled at him wickedly.
"Can't say the same." He mutter under his breath but looked up and gave Antonio a lip tight smile and nodded.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I want to discuss few things before we start the meeting."Abbie's voice bloomed the entire hall.
"First of all, we want to see each designs from both the fashion houses. And second of all, I want to make it clear that no one can manipulate my decision.What ever I decide , will be final." She said looking at everyone.
"So first, I want to see design from Hourglass clothing."She said and looked at Antonio.
Antonio cleared his throat and stood up in front of the projector.He had this smug smile on this face that made Damien confused.
But as soon as the presentation begin, Damien knew why he had that smug smile on his face.
All the designs that he show were similar to the one that –LD fashion was about to present.
Damien gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at Antonio , who was already looking at him with a smirk pasted on his face.
Oh, how he wish he could wipe it but punching him. He though to himself.
Not the right time Damien. He reminded himself.
Antonio took his sit amd smirked looming at Damien.
"Mr. Ryder , your turn." Abbie gestured him to start.
Damien started his presentation and and by the end of it ,all the smugness of Antonio's face vanished.
Know how sly and wicked Antonio is, Damien ask Ashton to send some extra sample just in case this baffon plans something–which he did.
Damien looked at Antonio amd smirk and sat down.
Abbie looked deep in thought after seeing Damien's presentation.
Clearing her throat, she smile at everyone.
"So, I like both the presentations, but I think the one which Mr. Ryder showed has more chance do do well in the market."
"But–"Antonio slammed his hands on the table and tried to protest but , Abbie raised her hands.
"Mr. Ryder, congratulation. We will discuss about the contract soon." Abbie smile at Damien before walking away.
Damien turned his head and looked at Antonio with a smug face before walking away.
