Reyhaan was not able to concentrate on his work since morning. He already discussed his analysis regarding their company's next contract with the working team and Mr. Ben. He will summarize the meeting to Sora later! Now he was working on their next plans and tender evaluation with Krish but his mind is in a daze. Mr. Ben already informed him that Sora is attending a meeting with Mr. Yad in the morning and she may come by lunchtime.
He was glancing to the door in between while discussing with Krish again and again. While Krish can see his worried friend is anxious.
'It's lunchtime, still why she is not here?', Reyhaan was in his thoughts. Suddenly he stood and strode towards his office window and overlooked the street. It was showing their company's entrance gate, in the middle water fountain which was an attraction to this building. On the perimeter of the company premises, lots of palm trees are planted and decorated in such a way to make the view more beautiful!
His gaze suddenly stopped at the incoming known car which was entering the company premises. His lips curled up knowing whose car it is. The car vanished towards underground parking and Reyhaan somehow loosened his tie.
His heart started beating so fast that he felt as if he could practically hear his heartbeat. Krish already sensed his demeanor changed and see that he is a little relaxed now. After a few moments, Reyhaan looked at the cabin door waiting for her arrival through it and someone knocked!
"Please come in", Krish chirped knowing his friend want the same!
The door opened and Sora appeared, while Reyhaan in his mind can see the door glowed like heaven he was waiting for to open and he could hardly contain the relief that the sight brought to his mind. She was like a pacifier to his emotions which are stirred inside his mind! He already strode towards her.
She moved closer to him as they stood in front of each other. Before she could say anything, the man was about to hug her while lowering his head, and spreading his arms, "Ahem, cough! cough!", Krish cleared his throat. Suddenly Reyhaan retreated.
"Are you okay! How was the meeting? I hope he does not give you any hard time! If he had done anything wrong with you, I will make him pay!", Reyhaan spoke in a deep but cold voice without a break!
Sora and Krish stood there rooted as Sora felt as if a strong bolt of lightning had just struck her and Krish felt like someone possessed his friend when he saw Sora!
'Are you okay? I will make him pay!', These words kept replaying in her mind like a broken tape recorder and her eyes glittered like a love-struck fool. He was like the black hole sucking her in him.
"You're looking handsome today!" She calmly said, despite her racing heartbeats, before adding, "Come let's eat the lunch, I am hungry because of the meeting!"
Now Reyhaan and Krish stood there rooted trying to understand if they are on the same page? But Sora dragged both with her as they went to the dining table in her cabin which was filled with lavish food served on it, she ordered it when she started from Mr. Yad's home. It was their second day but they already behaving as if they have known each other for years!
Reyhaan wanted to know what happened in the meeting but as she was hungry he let her eat first and the way she was looking happy and bubbly he felt somehow relieved! But another bubbly personality was not able to sit and eat.
Krish was about to ask 'if that Mr. Yad gave her a hard time and what was the meeting result?' but certain someone's piercing gaze stopped him to open his mouth. When Krish looked at Reyhaan his head just shook a little so he just gulped.
After filling her stomach with a good amount of food and a glass of water when Sora felt satisfied she started to talk.
"It was not bad! I politely rejected his demand stating if you unseal the factories and once we will get the contract we will be able to keep ourselves in the market then only we have hope for making business. But if we will give you money now and in the worst-case scenario if we do not get the upcoming contract then how come it will be beneficial to us?"
"You have a point", Krish spoke while Reyhaan nodded.
"Later, we had a nice talk and I asked him to unseal the factories for time being so that we can show our resources and once we get the contract we will give you a certain amount when we can see our budget and decide how much we can afford! Otherwise, after the election, we can decide!", Sora just gave imaginary details.
"So he will give his decision by tomorrow this is what he said!", Sora concluded.
"En..so that has only happened?", Krish asked with a little doubt.
"Yes..", Sora whispered calmly. Krish and Reyhaan did not ask anything further and nodded to wait till tomorrow.
"Take your time and once you are free we will discuss an early morning meeting!", Reyhaan does not stretch it further and left with Krish to his cabin.
Both reached Reyhaan's cabin, and Krish asked while sitting, "Do you think that has happened only? It was that simple?", Reyhaan glared at him for doubting Sora.
"I know Sora is young and has good confidence and can be good at the meeting but Mr. Yad is not a trustable person you know. What if he has threatened her but she is not telling us?", that concerned Reyhaan.
"I trust her and I believe that she will eventually tell us her concern in front of us. So, we need to be patient with her...Is it enough?" the man added in a serious tone. Krish also thought to wait for a day more!
