Niharika's POV

With the wonderful sun rays falling on my face, I woke up from deep slumber. Things have really being hectic since a while. It's 7 o'clock in the morning and my maid cum PA (at home) Sapna knocked the room. 

"Please come in", said I still on my bed struggling to get up.

"Good morning, madam. Here is your strong coffee. Breakfast is ready, madam. Kindly get ready and come downstairs. You have a meeting with your executives at 9:30 today", said Sapna giving all the details sincerely. 

"Thanks a lot, dear."

Finishing my coffee and morning business; I got dressed into an elegant maroon colored business suit. It was 8:30 by now so I grabbed my breakfast and rushed towards my Mercedes Benz where my driver was waiting for me. The ride to the office was short. I reached office in ten minutes. 

Well! I stay in my ancestral home which is just twenty minutes away from my office.

"Good morning, madam. You have a meeting with the board of executives  today at 9:30. After this, you need to meet the foreign delegates at The Leela today at 3pm. Later if you find time, please review the resumes for the interview of shortlisted Senior Scientists for the new project. You can meet them on Monday", said Mr. Bose, my official personal assistant, a man in his sixties and one of the oldest employee of my company.

"Thanks for the update, Mr. Bose. See you at the conference room."

"People, I want you to support this idea. This is indeed revolutionary in Indian market. After all, who doesn't want to look younger than their original age that too, without any side effects", I finished my presentation at an advertising tone for my dream project. 

This meeting was mere a formality however, I knew most of my executives were completely fine with this idea. I had never gone wrong over fifteen years. No doubts, I have received the accolades and praises for being the most inspiring entrepreneur nationwide.
*****
The meeting with the delegates went amazing and I had cracked the deal. My joy knew no wonders. Soon, I will be internationalizing my business. This thought was enough to make me and my parents happy.
*****
Giving this good news to my diligent employees, I began checking the profiles for the Senior Scientists for my pet project regarding which the board approved in the morning. I want the best people working on my mother's idea. Finally I will be fulfilling her dream via my dream project. 

After rejecting 5 out of 6 shortlisted profiles, my eyes got stuck at the last resume. 

Dr. Arpit Khandelwal, the name read. 

The smile crept on my face. Making Arpit work under me was fantastic. After all, my dream project is giving me a chance to make myself superior in front of him.
