Let Me Love You

Chapter 13

Khanna: Lunch? Shall I order from one of your favorite restaurant boss?

Remembering last night's meal a sudden smile crept across his face leaving Khanna to ponder what could have possibly make his stone-like boss smile.

"Find me the best braised chicken in town. That is what I want for lunch."

"Yes Boss."

"Let's get this meeting over with. Did you prepare the contract?"

Khanna : Yes. Boss...

Omkara: What's the matter?

Khanna: Well Boss...Do you think they will accept this offer? They have been in the fabric business for years and to try and buy their entire corporation for this price...."

As Omkara gets in the backseat of the limousine Khanna could see his boss's demonic smirk through the rear view mirror.

"The price is reasonable for a company that is drowning in debt. Did you talk to all of their stock holders?"

Khanna: Yes sir.

Omkara: And they understand?

Khanna: Yes.

Hooking up his lips as he puts on his sunglasses Omkara gazes through the car window to see how busy Mumbai always is.

"Well then. There should be no problems. Let's go."

While driving Omkara could sense Khanna had more to report.

"It's not like you to keep sighing all day. What is it?"

Khanna: I tried to take care of the matter but it seems Mrs. Thakur was very upset and now it seems that her husband is trying to start up a clothing brand for her.

"Kali Thakur?"

"Yes sir. I found out he is trying to collaborate with the Khuranas."

"I see."

"Should I do anything Boss?"

Letting out a sarcastic chuckle as he looks at his phone to check how much longer till lunchtime.

"Just keep your eyes and ears open. It's always good for us when there is competition. It will show our consumers as well as our clients that Oberoi Fashions will always remain on top."

"Yes Sir."

Riddhima was trying her best to torture Gauri as much as she could and today was the perfect opportunity. Seeing her head deep in fabric and having to follow her from shop to shop made Riddhima feel elated.

"So Gauri..are your arms tired of carrying all those rolls of fabric yet?"

"Instead of worry about the rolls of fabric it is best to worry about the type of fabric you have chosen."

Turning her sharp gaze at the woman who had made her life at the office turn for the worst.

"What do you mean?! Black and Royal Blue! That is what you told Mrs. Jhanvi!"

"I told you earlier that the fabric should be silk."

Riddhima couldn't take it anymore and with one swipe she hand tossed all the rolls of fabric that Gauri was holding for 2 hours.

"What do you know?! You are just some village girl! Satin is just like silk but cheaper. No one would know the difference!"

"But this is for the Old and Classy campaign. I thought everything must be of the best quality."
