Imlie enters the boardroom seeing older men and 2 women in formal suits waiting 

Aryan shakes his hands with everyone 

Imlie notices aryan being the youngest yet being addressed as SIR, not just formally but like everyone knew he deserved it. It was all very genuine 

Aryan goes to imlie handing her a newspaper 

"Take your time, read this and then give honest opinions and suggestions " says one of the board member 

After analyzing for a while she asks

"Honest? Matlab jo lage, bura naahi- tch nahi mannege?" 

"Nahi. Jo man me h bol do" 

Imlie looks at aryan for approval 

He gives her a small assuring nod 

"Dekhiye apki kharabre to bohat aachi h...par aaj kal to internet par ee sab mil jawat h, to koi paper kaahe khareedega? Ee bade bade ads dekhne?" 

"Ads se sponsorship milti h, hum ads band thodi kar sakte h" 

"Hum kab kahe band karo? Hum na ye kahat h ki iss paper me kuch esa hona chahiye jo internet par na ho, kuch exclusive.  Jaisan pass ke logo ke interview,  unke vichar..kyuki sach bole to sabko kharab se jada log kya sochte h ye jaruri hota h. Aur dekhiye ee na hamar boss babu jaisan black and white logo ke liye hi sahi h. Jisse sirf apne kaam se matlab h aur kucchu naahi."

Imlie looks at aryan who was staring her

" umm wo matlab ye ki kuch chutkule, paheliya jaisi cheezan se bacho ko bhi pasand aai h, aur sab janat h ki agar bache ne jid ki to usko uske amma dadda sab dila hi dewat h, isse sales badhengi. Sahi bolat h na hum?"

"Hmm, anything more?" 

"Umm no sir" 

"To aap bahar wait kariye, hum discuss kar lete h" 

"Go to my cabin" aryan says simultaneously 

Imlie walks out fidgeting with her bangels...waits for a while then walks into aryan's cabin

"Aryan tu isse leke aaya h, tujhe nahi lagta bohat choti h ye? I mean journalism ki degree karke baithe h log, unhe hire karna sahi nhi hoga kya?" 

"Ye arpi di ka idea tha, and i agree.  She's the new generation...hume nahi pata exactly aaj kal ki generation ki kya thinking h...isliye iski age help karegi. And from what i know,  she's very mature and sorted.  Plus determined h bohat....caring aur helping bhi h...har cheez pe honestly views express karti h without thinking , isn't it a proper journalist quality.  Wo sach ko, baat ko ek innovate tareeke se pesh karti h" aryan says

"Seems like you are really impressed Mr rathore...hamare point of view ki jarurat thi kya usse hire karne ki?"

"Honestly no, it is my company and i trust imlie. But i respect each and every one of you here. Aue isko hire karne ke pahle mujhe sabka opinion matter karta tha...kyuki...imlie ki college fees bhaskar times ke shares se jayegi. She'll be doing a proper degree in journalism side by side taki koi future me ye na bole ki humne ek 12th pass ko ese hi job de di. That too of someone important " aryan says

"I like this girl. Her views were on point, but maybe her way of presenting can improve?"

"If she gets hired..I'll personally make sure to train her in terms of manners" aryan says

"Okay then it's done...she can start working.  And Mr rathore everyone's trust lie in you...specially arvind's. You gotta do this for him" 

"I know it, that's why i have choosen the best" aryan says
