Kalpana and Pakhi quickly settled into their new roles at Raghav's company. 

Their friendship flourished, transforming into a deep bond that made them inseparable. 

Kalpana's meticulous work ethic complemented Pakhi's creative flair, and together, they became a formidable team.

Meanwhile, Raghav's feelings for Kalpana grew day by day. 

He found himself increasingly fascinated by her intelligence, her dedication, and her kind heart. 

He often caught himself staring at her during meetings, his thoughts drifting away as he imagined a future where he could be honest about his feelings. 

However, the fear of rejection and the complexity of his emotions kept him silent. 

He couldn't admit to himself, let alone confess to Kalpana.

On the other hand, Samar managed to forge a genuine friendship with Pakhi. 

His initial attraction to her deepened into a heartfelt connection. 

They spent more time together, sharing stories and dreams, and Samar was certain he had developed a soft corner for her. 

He cherished their growing bond and was hopeful about the future.

Raghav, driven by his desire for vengeance against Sahil Kapoor, devised a plan. 

A lucrative project was on the horizon, and he knew Kapoor Constructions, led by Sahil and his son Prem, would be bidding for it. 

Raghav saw this as the perfect opportunity to strike a blow against his enemy. 

He decided to involve Pakhi, assigning her the crucial task of preparing the presentation for the upcoming conference. 

Pakhi, eager for career growth and unaware of Raghav's ulterior motives, accepted the responsibility with enthusiasm.

One day before the conference Pakhi was in high spirits. 

She had worked tirelessly on her project and was excited about the opportunity. 

Kalpana noticed her friend's determination and offered words of encouragement.

"You've got this, Pakhi. Your presentation is going to be amazing," Kalpana said with a reassuring smile.

"Thanks, Topper. I really appreciate your support," Pakhi replied, giving her a hug.

Meanwhile, Raghav watched from a distance, his heart conflicted. 

He admired Pakhi's dedication but couldn't ignore the pang of guilt. 

He was using her as a pawn in his plan against Sahil Kapoor, and the weight of his actions was starting to gnaw at him.

Next day as Pakhi entered the conference room, Samar gave her a thumbs-up. 

He had been her confidant throughout the preparation process and was genuinely proud of her.

"You've worked so hard for this, Pakhi. I know you'll nail it," Samar said.

Pakhi smiled, feeling a surge of confidence. "Thank you, Samar. It means a lot coming from you."

Raghav, unable to shake off his growing feelings for Kalpana, found himself more distracted than ever. 

He knew he had to get a grip on his emotions, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

His thoughts remained conflicted.
