Well, The Raj might look like a cruel, employee-exploiting company from this scenario, but it actually wasn't. When other companies pay their employees 10,000- 15,000 rupees per month for their work and abilities. The Raj pays 50,000 rupees as basic pay to its employees, while the bar just gets higher with the higher position.
The Rajis the only company, where every employee gets to live in a fully furnished, luxurious, well-maintained, well-coordinated, well-taken care of colonies and apartments with or without their families.
The Raj has a tie-up with the ICSE board of education directly. So, every employee's child or children get the best education, that too, half of whose cost is borne by The Raj, while half by the employee himself/herself.
The Raj has a tie-up with 7-star hospitals, where every employee of The Raj and their family members get an 80% discount on any treatment they require. Not to mention regular health checks which are free of cost get conducted after every three months for every family member of the employee, as well for employees of The Raj.
The transportation facility, the food facility for young minds, who stays alone, the best safety and security provider is The Raj.
In return, The Raj demands only a few things; Loyalty, smartness as well as hard work, positive attitude, and mindset.

Son, it was office hours. Yet people were sleeping. That was the time, when the devil, Kirti Rajput paid a visit. When she saw the silent building, it wasn't much of a shock, but when she saw the sleeping staff. She knows what has happened. Someone made them overwork, which was against her ideas of equality.
She barged in the fiftieth floor with anger only to find Vivek, who was sleeping like a child. Strange. She searched every cabin and place, yet couldn't find her PA or her boss.
She wondered what was wrong. She went to the pantry area, filled a glass with cold water, and returned back to the cabin, splashing all the water into the sleeping creature, the fingers of her other hand just a few inches away from pressing the emergency button.
Vivek woke up with a start. For a moment he really got drowned in a tsunami. But when he saw the devil standing in front of him with her fingers all set to press the emergency button. He finally relaxed a bit. After all, it won't be considered as the first time, when their rivals have used dirty tricks to remove them from the chessboard.
Only the four people know how they had survived all those nightmares.
' Relax, I was just sleeping.'He said in an annoying voice. After all, he was finally sleeping after so long. Yet she woke him up. Kirti's finger didn't move, still unsure.
'An emergency came and we had to break your 'no overtime work' rule and now when it's solved, we are giving time to rest to everyone, including me. So, let me sleep. Relax. In Fact, you should rest too.'Vivek sat while patting at the chair next to him, to rest.
To which she just rolled her eyes. But she did put her phone back into her handbag. She stares at the person, acting as a dead log, and wonders how he could sleep so freely, despite being all drenched. But as if that was her concern. She wanted to tell Miss Chauhan she had arrived and very soon she would be leaving for her DSW work.
But the girl didn't pick up her phone. When her worry took the best of her, she ended up in The Raj, only to witness this.
'What about the others? Where are they?' She asked the sleeping log, knowing full well, a drenched person can't sleep. So, he has to be pretending, in order to avoid her questions. While referring to the missing duo.
As expected his eyes shot open, while despite being sleepy and wet, his mind started working. After all, he knows this devil will kill the three of them if she finds out Miss Chauhan gets married to her Boss. Or vice versa.
Reason; she hates the concept of marriage. The four of them actually had vowed to never get married, under her influence. But now since the two people had broken that vow under the half-influence of the third, they are bound to be dead.
'I asked you something.' She couldn't help but remind the person, who got lost in his world of deep contemplation.
'M-Miss Chauhan is at her home. Boss is in his room, resting.' Vivek said while hoping she won't decide to meet any of the people at the moment, or else he will sign up in a Mental Asylum right away, to avoid this disaster.
'Okay.' She nodded while wondering whether it's the water drops or sweat on Vivek's forehead. But she just shrugged it off.
' I am going to Chandigarh. I have some pending work there, which I have explained to Miss Chauhan. So, I won't be available for a certain period, which again I have explained to her.
Make sure to inform them that I paid the visit. Also, not to put their phones on switch-off mode again. I was hella nervous. Bye. My flight is within twenty-five minutes.
See ya soon.' She bid her farewell and left the oddly silent building.
Vivek just stared at the girl, who came like a storm and left like a hurricane. Well, at least he is safe for a few more days from her. Then, he stared at his drenched state and sighed. No one wants him to sleep in peace.
Left with no choice, he cursed under his breath and finally walked to his own room to freshen up and continue to rest.
~~
It was already dusk time when finally people woke up from their deep slumber. After which they used the washroom and bathrooms to freshen up and ran directly towards the 'Food Hub' of The Raj to fill their empty stomachs.
With coffees in their hands, they return back to their desks, checking on the updates and information. After which they finally said goodbye to each other and left for their houses to rest, while calling it a day.
What a day.
Yuvika finally woke up, only to find herself in a strange environment. It took her a moment to realize she was in her new room. The room was perfect for sleeping. What's more, there were lots of books on the two adjacent walls, making it a perfect 'boring and sleepy' place. After all, she had lost interest in studying the moment she had completed her senior education. After that, she studied with the aim of getting a job, while enjoying her life. So, for her books would definitely be the best thing to use to fall asleep.
She opened her suitcase, found another pair of formals and freshened up. After all, she was still in her office technically. She can't move in a nightgown in her company, right!
After getting dressed up, she went back to the cabin wing, to check on the updates, only to find Ashutosh sitting in his chair, jotting down the notes on his tablet, while his eyes fixed on the laptop screen. The index finger of his one hand is busy moving the cursor of the laptop. While the rest are busy penning down all the details presented in front of him.
She stared here and there, but there was no one except for him and now her. When he heard the door opening, he assumed it would be Vivek. So, without raising his eyes, he said; ' Vivek, pass me the blue file. The one on the right side, the second-top one. Also, give me a shoulder massage.'
Yuvika stared at the guy and then sighed. Only god knows where that sleeping creature is. After all, she wanted to ask him how she got teleported to her room. But see, he wasn't here.
She searched for the file and passed it to him. The guy didn't even glance at her while dealing with tablet, file, and laptop all at the same time.
'What now, do you need an invitation to start the massage?' He asked with a long gap in between his words. Since, his mind was busy working as a CPU in between the information provided to him by the laptop, penning it down in the tablet, and checking it with the content of the blue file. But the irritation was evident in his voice.
Yuvika stares at her boss with a questioning look. But she could tell as a business worker that she shouldn't make a noise at the moment. Or else, it would end up being a distraction to her boss, which might lead to some serious repercussions.
Left with no choice, she walked from his front to the back. As expected, the guy gets straighten-up to give her access to his shoulder, from his previous leaning position. She started giving a massage, the same one, which she used to give to her father, whenever he would come home. Not because he would be tired or something. But it was more like her form of appreciation to her father, her gratitude towards her father, who changed her for the better.
