Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

"Good morning mam!" Priti said as I was still in bed.

I opened my eyes like a school kid who doesn't want to wake up to see her standing aside my bed with a cup of coffee.

"Why are you doing this Priti? You're my manager, not my maid, leave it to the staff please!" I said guiltily

"It's ok mam, I thought you were unwell as you slept late today."

"Oh no! I need to get ready. Please search a good outfit for me I need to hurry up. And please don't call me mam anywhere apart from the office." I said as i hurried to the bathroom.

"Roop wait, have this coffee or else you'll doze off in the shower."

I drank the coffee and ran to shower.

I was out in 10 minutes and found Priti wearing a white shirt and navy blue trousers with her straight black hair tied in a pony.

"Roop, you need to visit the family house today after office so I've fished out this grey business suit which you'll be wearing to the office and later, while leaving for the family house, you're gonna change into this." She said pointing towards a knee length flared white dress which had pink roses printed over it.

I jumped at her like a little puppy due to which she almost fell but managed to keep us standing.

Priti's POV:

Roop Malhotra, the richest entrepreneur in Asia, whom everyone sees as a rich, spoilt and evil CEO, who gives zero fucks around, is looking at me like a little school kid who doesn't want to wake up. She is warm, but sassy and somewhat evil to those she doesn't like or someone who isn't the right person around her. She is my only friend here in UK. I picked her two outfits, one for office and another for dinner. She squealed in joy and almost threw me off my feet as she hugged me. Although she is 3 years younger to me, I really adore her, and the little playful girl that she hides behind that sassy mask.

Roop's POV:

"Roop, get ready now!" Priti said as she pulled away.

"Ok manager!" I said playfully.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and the caller ID was not saved in my phone.

I looked at Priti in confusion as I picked up the call.

"Hello!"

"Roop, finally you answered my call. I've been trying to reach you since so many days."

"Who's this?"

"It's me, Austin..."

"Zero fucks given! Bye, thanks!" I interrupted him mid Sentence as I pressed the end button.

"Get ready sassy!" Priti nudged me again, for the third time

15 minutes later, I was wearing the grey business suit, my curly hair that had golden streaks was tied in a bun with few strands falling on my face and neck. I defined my brows and applied some mascara too. I put on some clear gloss on my lips and my skin already glowed like I had some expensive highlighter on.

I got into my Rolls Royce with Priti besides me as the driver drove us to the office.

"Mam, today you have a meeting with the members of the marketing group and then a meeting regarding the new collection with the board of directors."

"Is that all for the day?"

"Yes mam!"

We reached the office and took the lift. As I walked in, everyone who passed by had their heads cast down as they wished me morning.

I enjoy seeing everyone and everything under my control, everytime *wink*

(ayyyee, are you thinking the same as the author is thinking now?)

I strode to my room while Priti got busy with the management of the meetings.

Half an hour later,

"Mam, the conference room is set up and everyone's waiting for your presence."

I left my room and walked in to the conference room. Everyone stood up. I sat down and signalled everyone to take their seats too. The meeting began. 5 minutes later, the department member who was presenting the plan, was interrupted... by me of course.

"Why don't you try getting a job as a Nanny, Leila?" I spoke with sarcasm dripping through my words.

"I... I'm sorry mam!" she trembled in fear.

"If you like making people want to sleep with your words, than that's the best option for you! Mr. James!"

James jumped up from his seat and walked towards me and said, "I'll take care of this meeting mam, I'll get straight to the point and won't take much of you time. only one chance mam!"

"3 minutes"

He was one of the best employee in the marketing group and covered the entire topic in three minutes.
