She is...ambitious

"Tomorrow it's gonna be exactly 10 years since Sharon has joined our company, Shekhawat Industries. And I as her business partner and her husband of course will have to deliver a speech on her journey right from the time I know her till today. But how? How am I going to describe it? I'm a good speaker but writing down my speech, Oh! This is going to be difficult" Swayam thought to himself while he was sitting in his office on the 42nd floor in one of the biggest and highest corporate buildings of Mumbai. After thinking for a lot of time, a bewildered Swayam finally scratched his head and churned out an idea. "How about I use Sharon's own axiom? Sharon always tells me that whenever you need to describe someone whom you love, you never need to prepare something, it all has to come from your heart, your true feelings. How about using her own axiom! Yeah! That would be perfect! I don't need to worry and who said that you need to have a perfect speech? I might as well just narrate her story and maybe that would metamorphose my not-so-perfect speech into a perfect one. That is a good idea after all I am a good speaker." Swayam continued saying in his thoughts. 
Time passed by very fast that day as Swayam was loaded with work. He was running helter skelter in order to check all the arrangements, for, he wanted everything to be perfect. When it comes to Sharon or anyone of his beloved ones, Swayam always looks into an event personally. He might have thousands of employees and managers under his command, but never ever will he leave it to them.
‌Next day arrives and the event is held on the 49th floor in the enormous hall of the corporate building of Shekhawat Industries. Sharon is not aware of this event and is surprised as to why Swayam has blindfolded her as it wasn't their anniversary neither was it her birthday nor was it any other special day. As she steps into the hall, wearing a black flowing gown and her red stilettos making sound of her footsteps, she is thrilled to see the arrangements especially the huge banner which read "Congratulations Mrs. Sharon Shekhawat!". She gives one wide smile to everybody around and looks at Swayam who is looking very handsome in his black tuxedo with an expression which read "congratulations for what?" Before she could get any of her answers, Kiara her little 3 year old daughter comes to her wearing a red gown and her hair neatly tied into a pony tail and instantly snatches Sharon's hand from her father and drags her to the front seat which is specially customized for her. Swayam follows her and goes and sits beside Sharon. Little Kiara begins, "Good evening mommy and daddy oops I meant Mr and Mrs Shekhawat, the fellow staff members and all the guests. I, miss Kiara Shekhawat welcome all of you and thank you for coming and joining us in our celebration. My daddy, Mr. Swayam Shekhawat will continue the speech." Kiara said perfectly as instructed by her daddy. Swayam comes on the stage and begins to speak, "Today is the day that my dear wife, Mrs. Sharon Shekhawat joined our company 10 years back. And I am here to describe her journey. Right from the time I have known Sharon, she was always and will forever be my best friend. We met when we were teenagers. We have lived together for more than half of our lives. Right from day one, Sharon has always been very focused towards her goal. Initially she wanted to pursue a career in fashion designing but later together we discovered that business was where she was destined to be. She did join a year later than me but she was always very dedicated. Because she is very different. She puts her 200% in anything she does and you all can see that today. She believes that determination, dedication, devotion and discipline are the corner stones on which stands the edifice of success. Being a mediocre was never her goal. She wanted to be an ace. She always told me when I was an entrepreneur that being a mediocre at everything will fetch me nothing but being an ace at just one will definitely give me glory and success. And believe me that has changed me and my thinking greatly. You see her winning so many 'Business woman of the year' awards. That wasn't merely by luck, it was due to her persistence and undue efforts. You see me as one of leading business tycoons of the country, as the owner of Shekhawat Industries but that was also because of her. For, she was, is and will always be my strength and support system. You know people were right when they said behind every successful man there is a woman. She tells me that I'm an ace at business. I don't know yet neither can I judge myself for that, but you Sharon, you are an ace at everything be it managing the company or Kiara or the household chores, you truly are a Wonder Woman if not for everybody at least for me. You have and will always inspire, stimulate and captivate me in every single way. And today I am very thankful and proud of you. Congratulations my love!" By the time Swayam was delivering his speech, here Sharon had tears in her eyes. They weren't tears of sadness but they were tears of joy. She quickly wiped her tears and carefully listened to what Swayam was saying. "Let me end my speech by thanking you Sharon for everything you've ever done for me and for this company. And lastly congratulations my love for the achievement of the milestone of 10 years." The sound of applauses ringed in the hall as Swayam ended his speech. Sharon quickly went on the stage and gave a tight hug to Swayam. Later she thanked everybody for coming, arranging and joining in the event. Then the media came and after asking all their ordinary questions to Swayam they went to Sharon. Sharon usually didn't like the media attention but she couldn't even avoid them. So she decided to answer just one of their questions. "Can you describe your yourself in a word?" Asked the interviewer. Sharon's answer astonished everybody including Swayam. They all were expecting her to say something like smart, bold, beauty with brains or something like that. Sharon's answer was AMBITIOUS. When Swayam was asked if he agreed with Sharon he had to say,
‌"She is...indeed ambitious!"
