'It will be an intimate affair and I want it to be Grand' she glided her palms in the air in opposite direction

Mukti mam was explaining her plans and over here I was trying to stay calm and focus on whatever she was saying .

But how was I supposed to concentrate?

After the entry of this person with whom I had a very embarrassing meeting few nights ago.

I never expected to meet him again but here he is sitting with me in the same room as the brother of our client.

In my brain that incident was erased the same night as I had more  important things to focus upon . But now my memory is refreshed and my brain is playing the tape of that night on repeat.

The embarrassment was killing me , as far as I remember firstly I tried to kiss him secondly I puked in front of him then like a fool I just walked into a pole and ended up fainting .

'So do you have any place in mind? She shook her head negatively to Riddhima's question' Then I think you can do it in Italy' Riddhima suggested

'I am open to that idea' came the response from the other side 'I want it to be like ...like' she was struggling to find words for her imagination 'like ... Royal but with a bit of rum'

The two males present in the room laughed at her discription to which she just rolled her eyes.

Then I heard Riddhima buttering her by telling how good her idea and vision was and all the other usual sweet talk and tactics that she uses on all our other customers .

She's quite good at it.

I hadn't raised my head since the time Mr Malhotra has entered the room . I just dipped my head as a greeting , he didn't acknowledge my presence and ignored me . I would have been offended if it would have been someone else but right now I didn't mind it because that's what I wanted , to be unnoticed by him.

Riddhima was a bit nervous and shy while talking to him . He was least interested in whatever she was saying , which was obvious from his small replies but she still tried to have a conversation with him . My dear boss was in a trance of this man's looks , at one point I just wanted to yell 'Riddhima you have a husband'.

But it was not needed because he himself stopped her by saying that They should not waste more time and get back to the important topic , his words were very rude I just qouted them politely.

He is definitely a person with whom people don't mess around .

'Nandini , so what do you think' I heard Mukti mam's voice.

Okay Nandini  there is no use of being embarrassed , you can't mess up your professional life just like your private one . At this point I don't even think he remembers me or whatever happened that night , he's a frickin billionaire who's probably too busy to remember such shit , well that's what I'll like to assume . So just focus on your work and imagine that he's not present here.

I got up from my place and stood in the center .

'Well Riddhima I love your idea of a wedding in Italy, but I think we have the perfect destination for you here in India ' everyone was looking at me in anticipation except for one,  who was busy doing something on his phone .

Yes just keep yourself busy like this, it will work in my favour . I'll just quickly finish whatever I have to say and then disappear from this room by making an excuse.
