"Yes, the previous CEO and head of the distribution department made a lot a lot of money using this method and now it's our turn."
"How much did they make and what is your share?"
"Forget about them let's make 50-50."
"50-50 no let's make it 90-10 with higher share belongs to me."
"Are you joking with me?"
"No, Not a joke but I have no intentions to release your movie in this company."
"It was a movie ordered by this company. If you don't release it then I will have my lawyer sue you."
"No no, Mr. Rupert you don't have to call a lawyer because we have already called one."
"What do you mean?" Rupert looked confused.
"What I mean is that we are suing you for fraud."
Ash who was watching this from the sidelines was amused by Serena's performance. He took out his phone and said, "And you just gave proof of your fraud right here. I recorded everything you said," Ash started waving his phone to Rupert.
"What...?" Rupert's face turned pale and he looked at Serena and wanted to say something but Serena stopped him.
"Mr. Rupert, the longer you stay here worse things will become for you. I just hope that you have a good lawyer."
Rupert didn't know what to say and he did realize one thing staying here was useless. So he got up and got out of the company with a blue face.
"Now that was fast," Ash complimented Serena while showing a thumbs up.
"I Prefer efficiency in my work. But when did you start recording."
"In the elevator. It's always good to record when dealing with pests," Ash got up from his seat while saying that.
Serena looked at Ash as he was getting up. Serena thought that Ash was way too mature for his age so decided to play a prank on him. She started talking in a deep voice like Rupert's and said, "you did great work too kid"
When Ash heard Serena he was surprised as he was a thirty-year man on the inside and he was embarrassed to hear it so got close to her. He placed one hand on top of Serena's chair and the other on the handle of her chair. His face was close to Serena's. And he said, "Never, ever call me a kid again, I hate it."
Right now Ash was so close to Serena. It was the first time that she had seen him from so close. The first thought that came to her mind was that he was handsome. When she realized what she was thinking she got so embarrassed that her whole face turned red. She couldn't think straight and didn't know what to say so she simply said, "Okay" while nodding her head.
Ash smiled at her and said, "that's fine" and got away from her. When Serena saw Ash's smile she thought his smile was beautiful and her face turned red again because of her thoughts.
Ash went towards the exit of the conference room but Serena didn't move even an inch. When Ash saw Serena sitting there like a statue he got a little confused so he said, "By the way can you have someone prepare the copyright for the
Serena looked at Ash with her red face and said, "I will prepare it before evening." After saying that she removed her gaze from Ash's face. She just needed some time to settle her thoughts.
Seeing Serena acting a little weird Ash got worried and asked, "Are you okay?.
"Ah! I am absolutely fine. You go first."
Hearing Serena's answer Ash got out of the conference room leaving Serena alone and went to his office.
