"Amaya" My heart rate sped up. Nothing triggered my fight or flight like the sound of my mother's voice. "Yes?" I hid my trepidation behind a neutral expression.

Meghna Mittal, my mother, who is a housewife since, it was her decision to be housewife and leave her best position as a CEO in nanaji's company because she wanted to take care of me and my elder brother.

"Again late?" I always get late for office since, I know it's my father's company but that doesn't mean whenever I want, I will go and whenever I don't want, I will not go.

My mother's words, not mine.

"It's her company, whenever she wants, she will go." My father's voice echoes in the hall and a big grin formed over my lips. "I missed you, finally you're back." I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his torso.

Anupam Mittal, my father, who is the Chairman of our company "UnityPulse" enterprises where I am Managing Director.

"Now, I am back, beta." Papa smiled at me. "You can take rest and I'm going to office and Papa; don't you dare to come office today. Take a rest." I think my serious voice sounds funny to him that he always laughed. "Ha, ha sure."

"Mumma, I will be late today, me and Kiara planned to meet up." She nodded.

🍂

"Good morning, Ms. Amaya."

Lavanya Aggarwal, a 24-year-old, brown hair with light brown highlights, sweet, kindhearted and my personal assistant or you can say good-close friend.

"Good morning, and how many times do I have to tell you to call me Amaya not Ms. Amaya." She chuckled before saying. "Fine, Amaya."

"Amaya, Is Mr. Mittal back from his business trip?" She asked while checking on some files. "Yeah, he came just an hour ago."

"Should I arrange a meeting with your team for revenue growth strategies?" She asked which I nodded.

I went towards the meeting room to meet my team which is under my control for next few months.

"Good morning." Professional mode should be on now. "Good morning, Ms. Amaya." They said in union.

Ravi Sehgal, Naina Roy, Shikhar Mehra and lasty Rhea Sharma.

"You all completed your first project so well and I am so proud of you. So, let's start our second project which is based on revenue growth strategies." They nodded and checked the file about it.

After an hour the meeting finally over. "Thank you." All of them said one by one.

I left the meeting room with Lavanya and there were my colleagues, or you can say my friends from the office who are the head of their own intern departments.

"Amaya, do you want to join us after work?" Nyra asked as we started to walk towards cafeteria. "Not today actually I have some plans." An awkward smile formed on my lips. 

Nyra Shekhawat, a 25-year-old, black-curly haired, polite, and a mature type of person.

"Are you cheating on me?" Ronit asked with a mischievous smirk. "Yes, any problem?"

Ronit Kohli, 27-year-old, brown well set haired guy. I am sure one day his flirty nature will cause a problem to me. I don't know if he does this only with me or with everyone and I also don't know if he likes me or not, if yes, then I don't care and if it's not, then also I don't care.

"Ignore him, Amaya. But it's been so long since, you join us for any dinner, lunch or parties." Aayan joined the conversation. "I know, guys. Next time for sure."

Aayan Mehta, 28-year-old, black-curly haired guy. Introvert and a mature person but mature words will be too little for him he's more than a fucking mature person.

"Okay, then be ready for tomorrow." Ronit said. "Tomorrow? What's with tomorrow?" Lavanya asked to him, but Ronit rolled his eyes over her, it's not new for us since, both of them claim that they hate each other which is totally okay it's not possible to like every single person in our lives right?

"If Amaya will ask me then I will tell everyone." Ronit replied but his eyes were on me. "Stop with these words, I am not liking it."

"Then when you are going to start liking it." He winked. "I guess never." I took a seat in cafeteria and Ronit took a seat just beside me. "So, you will not ask me?"

"What?" That's the question because I hear it clearly after all he just whispered to me. "About tomorrow." Ugh!

"Amaya, just ask him otherwise he will fuck with our brain." Ronit laughed. "So, tell me about tomorrow." He smiled before saying. "Party at my place."

"Iske liye tab se tu pareshaan tha aur sabko kar raha tha?" He nodded while smiling and I think for a while before replying to him. "Fine, I am in." And that's how we all agreed upon his plan.

🍂

"What do you want to eat?" I asked to Kiara who's busy in checking something on her cell. "Everything's alright?" I asked her again when she doesn't reply to me but this time she nodded.

Kiara Raichand, 24 years old, black-long-straight haired girl with introvert with mature nature and the only daughter of Mr. Ajay Raichand who is the chairman of 'AllianceLoop'. Point to be noted I didn't say that she is the only child of the family because she has one elder brother who is... I don't know since, I forgot his name because he doesn't live here, nor did he come to meet his family.

"Bhai, is coming." I almost choked on my water. "What? After this hugs interval of time?" She rolled her eyes. "That's what I'm thinking, why he is coming here."

"Maybe he missed you guys so, he is coming." She looked at me. "After ten years?" Ten? Yeah! I knew that he hadn't come to India in these six years from when I started to know about, Kia but ten years are unbelievable. "Ha toh kya? He missed you after ten years." It's possible right?

No, I don't think so.

"By the way, what work do your brother do?" Since, she has been my best friend for the past six years and I never got to know about what her brother's profession.

"Sach batau?" She took a sip of water. "Toh tu jhuth bolne ki tyaari mein thi?"

"Aisi baat nahi hai, but I literally don't know, whenever I ask papa about it, he always told me one thing that he is handling our New York's branch, but I don't think this is the truth." We ordered our meals since; the waiter disturbed our precious talks. "Why do you think this is not true?"

"I don't know, but I don't feel it and now he is coming to Mumbai to join Mumbai's branch as a CEO."

"That's good, now he will spend time with you." She always gets sad because his brother doesn't give her time. I still remember these six years from when I started to know about Kia, his brother only calls her five-six times in front of me and if he calls her in private like when she was not with me then I don't know.

"I don't think so." Again, behen ki problem kya hai. "Now, why?" She said nothing, like seriously.

"Let's not think about him, please." Then, we had our meals and talks. "Kia, what's your brother's name? I never asked you in these six years. I am embarrassed." She laughed before uttering his name.

"Revansh Raichand." The name is sexy, I hope the owner will be also sexy.
