Dev Malhotra's pov

Once Aashu left my cabin i focused my attention on Nishma and Sameer. 

"Nishma, i don't know why you hate Aasha this much. But let me tell you don't you dare behave with her like you did today. If there were anyone in your place, they would have been punished severely for how they behaved with Aasha. If you want, you can leave now" i said calmly but one can find the hidden warning. 

" I don't know why you trust her. But you're my friend. I want to help you for tomorrow meeting. And also i am your business partner in this project" she said.

"Then okay, you go and try to postpone this meeting to afternoon" i said.

"Okay" saying this she left my cabin. 

"What should we do with that boy, Dev? I already ordered our men to keep an eye on him" Sameer said. 

"We should not do anything in a haste. If we do anything to him, then the person who asked him to steal the pen drive will get alert. And he will try to plan something else. And i want you to spread a rumour that i had fired Aasha for leaking the project details and also that our company will not be participating in this meetingl" i said.

"Okay, Dev. I will spread this rumour" Sameer said. I nodded at him. 

"Wait! Dev, what if this was done by our rival?" he asked me. 

"We will know that tomorrow. He was no where to be seen for a whole year. His business was taken care of by his assistant. Lets see its his game or not" i said. Soon we heard knock on my door. Then Aashu entered in my cabin. 

"Sir, everyone is in the meeting hall waiting for you" she said. 

"Okay, lets go" i said softly. 

Aasha's POV

We all here working very hard. Its already 3 am. When everyone came to know about that the pen drive was stolen, everyone was was shocked. But no one blamed me. They just said 'it happens in business. Don't worry'. I felt relieved when no one blamed me. But i know Mr. Malhotra is behind this all. Tomorrow meeting is shifted from 10 am to 2 pm. So we have a little bit time but its not enough. No one took a single break. Shreya is the one who is serving Coffee and snacks for everyone. Me. Malhotra, Mr. Mehra and Ms. Josh also didn't take any rest. This all happened just because of my carelessness. My guiltiness is killing me inside. Everyone in this meeting hall is busy with their work. 

"Aasha, bring me a hot black coffee" Mr. Malhotra said while reading a file. 

"Sure, sir" saying this i left the meeting hall to the kitchenette. I felt someone's presence behind me. I turned but only to see Ms. Josh with a fury.

"Do you need something, mam?" i asked her. She threw a disgusting look at me. 

"Did you see how everyone is working without taking any rest? Its all because of you and your carelessness" she said while clenching her jaw. 

"I know, mam. Its all because of my carelessness" i said, looking down. 

"If we fail this deal, then i will tell the board of directors that you are the mian reason for losing the deal. If that situation comes, then no one can save you. Not even Dev" saying this she left the place. I sighed. 

She is right. Because of my carelessness everyone is working very hard without taking any rest. I am ready to take any punishment for putting them all in this situation. Then i went to Mr. Malhotra to give him his coffee. 

"Sir, You coffee" i said while placing the coffee cup on the table. Then i took my seat beside him.

"Aasha, what do you think about our this new project plan?" Mr. Malhotra asked me.
