Camarel Hotel...
"Director Ryu, I think we only need to handshake". Manager Gulson chirped excitedly while Shyam gave a collar smile.
The waitress waiting at the side already served them their food. With the silverware in front of them, it made Naina feel uneasy. Since she was unaware of how to use them, she feared moving, making Shyam notice.
"Miss, eat more. I know women in this generation wanted to have and maintain a slim figure but sacrificing your meal or starving yourself is also bad to your health." Investor Noren said in friendly manner.
Shyam looked at Naina from the corner of his eye. He then got her plate and started slicing her meat, snapping Naina out of her thoughts as she gave a small another smile at Investor Noren.

Naina excused herself to use the toilet. She knew it was impolite to leave the table while the meal was still ongoing but she felt the need to do.
Naina gave her a reassuring smile to Shyam tell that she's okay before she excused herself. She walked towards the direction of the restroom. As soon as she's out of the restroom her head bump into a person making her bag slip off her hands. She lowered her head to glance at the man who quickly bent down to pick up her bag.
"Investor Noren, I am sorry" Naina apologize.
"Its okay, Beauty" Noren flashed his boyish smile, trying to make it as charming as possible--which in Naina's opinion was very creepy.
"Beauty....This rich fool is a shameless and dangerous womanizer" His smile was irking her out and she had the urge to smack it off his face.
"Let's get inside" Naina said. She didn't like Noren's gaze on her at all. He stared at her like she was a little piece of dinner he couldn't wait to gobble down.
Naina was about to leave, Noren had blocked her way, stopping her. "Miss Naina, Why don't we exchange our number? You know! Sometimes we can have fun". Noren smiled and initiated the conversation.
Naina rolled her eyes inwardly at his lame pickup lines. "I am really sorry. I am little busy" Naina replied calmly.
Noren playfully smirked and moved closer to her. "How about a date or a movie?".
"I am sorry" Naina tried her best to stop her eyes from twitching and her expression turning too stiff.
"Listen to me for a little bit." Without waiting for her reply, He tried to hold her hand, but she quickly avoided his grasp.
"Please excuse me, Investor Noren". Her voice was sharp and strong.
"Miss Naina, we are both adults. You don't have to react like that!" He reaches out for her arms but she quickly shrugs her shoulder and steps backward. "Please Stay away" Naina eye him evilly. If looks could kill, Investor Noren would be dead by now.
"What's going on here?"
Both Naina and Investor Noren turned their heads in the direction of the voice.
Investor Noren quickly squared his shoulders and said in disgust face pointly raising his chin to Naina. "Director Ryu, Your employee is so thick skinned. She keeps on pursuing me to book a room".
"Bastard! Psychopath!" Naina cussed in her mind, with her teeths grinding lividly hearing his disgusting words.
As his gaze darkened, Shyam walked straight to Noren and yanking Noren in the collar and letting him have a taste of his fists. And to Noren's surprise. He wasn't able to react quickly when his body made contact with the floor.
"How dare you.....?" Shyam kicked Noren on his stomach using his right foot. Now, Noren lay flat on the floor, still surprised by what just happened. Shyam kicked him out of the blue. When he comes back to his senses, Noren attempts to get up. He reaches for his stomach when pain ripples his body.
Naina was so shocked with the scene happening in front of her. She rushed and pulled Shyam away from Noren. But Shyam was like a huge rock; she cannot move.
"Director, Please stop" Naina called him one more time but Shyam only shrugs her hands.
"Shyam! Please". This time, Naina threw her rationality and hugged Shyam from behind.
