"Arjun," Ananya called out. She had no intention of getting into the car; she was not in the mood tonight.
Arjun fiddled with the Buddhist bracelet on his wrist and said indifferently, "Come on."
"I'm not getting in. If I get in—with Arjun's stamina—I won't be able to walk." Ananya deadpanned as she hugged the box. She wanted to create a promiscuous persona in front of Arjun. Other than in bed, it was best if they did not have any other entanglements. Otherwise, she was worried that she would fall for him one day. Raj alone was exhausting enough; Arjun was obviously deadlier than Raj. Anyway, Arjun did not ask her if it was her first time during their dalliance—it could only mean that he did not care about this. They were both adults; there were some things that did not need to be said too clearly.
Arjun raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly because of Ananya's words. His gaze landed on the box in Ananya's hand. His cold fingertips grabbed Ananya's wrist and forcefully pulled her in. "Resigning?" The box in her arms was too eye-catching—it was impossible not to notice it.
Ananya did not struggle and leaned into Arjun's arms. They had already slept together—there was no need to pretend to be reserved. "Yeah. Got kicked to the curb after outliving my usefulness."
Ananya pretended to be aggrieved and lay on Arjun's shoulder. Since she had resigned, she might as well give Raj a big farewell gift and see how well he would fare. "Arjun, Kapoor Corporation Group has so many businesses under its name. Can you manage them all? There are too many ways for people to line their pockets."
Arjun pinched Ananya's chin with his fingers. He knew that there was a subtext in her words. "For example?"
"Arjun, did you notice a small building not far from Kapoor Corporation Group? It was specially built by Raj and the other directors forR&D. It cost more than 100 million , but Arjun probably did not sign the approval for this project when you were overseas, right? That's because they split the total amount of investment into small sums, and every sum was just under the amount that did not require your approval. How much room do you think this secret operation has? How much money is embezzled?" Ananya smiled. Raj only had himself to blame for his negligence and disinterest in his work; Ananya was the one who followed up on many things, so she was very clear about these things.
Arjun mentioned the company accounts on the first day he took over the reins of the company, but the corruption of the directors he caught was just a drop in the bucket. Ananya drew circles on Arjun's tie with her fingers. "I went to that building to take a look. The moment I entered, I saw an antique—a blue and white porcelain vase that was worth more than 10 million . Every chair inside was made of rosewood. The cutlery in the cabinet was all enamel. The carpet was a Persian carpet worth more than 100,000 . Arjun, why do you think a R&D building is so luxurious?"
Arjun looked at Ananya quietly. After a long time, he said to Rahul in the front passenger seat, "Go and investigate." A building that cost hundreds of millions … Most probably was the secret lair of the directors for their vices. It was very well hidden indeed.
Ananya's eyes curved into crescents. Once the secret of that building was exposed, Raj would be in hot water. The unhappiness of losing her job because of Raj was instantly thrown to the back of her mind. "Arjun, that building holds a gathering every Friday. Raj calls that gathering "Night of Debauchery". If you catch them then, they'll definitely be caught red-handed."
Wasn't Raj waiting for her to apologize? Then she would destroy their secret lair through Arjun!
Arjun's finger landed on Ananya's waist and he asked Rahul, "Did you get that?"
Rahul nodded respectfully and made several calls in preparation of this matter.
Arjun's cold fingers touched the skin on Ananya's waist, triggering a tiny jolt of electricity.
"When it's done, what reward do you want?" Arjun's voice was cold and indifferent, but not mean.
"Reward?" Ananya softened her body and leaned languidly against Arjun. Her curly eyelashes were slightly lowered—she was undoubtedly seducing him, but charming at the same time.
Ananya was thinking about what reward she wanted when her cell phone rang—it was Eve. She had probably suffered a setback with President Rathore. After all, the contract was going to be signed tomorrow; they would definitely call President Rathore in advance tonight to communicate. The communication must have not gone well.
Ananya rejected the call. Soon after, she received a message from Eve.
