Woh jo adhuri si baat baki hai...

AR, Lucknow branch

(ASR's cabin)

His one phone call and he got to know each and everything regarding Guptas and their problems.Khushi and Payal has taken this job in this seven star hotel seven months back as their sweet shop in Lucknow 'Satwik Mishtan Bhindar' has been sealed by the government due to the claim of a high profile builder of Lucknow that this shop was made on his land illegally and the land was his not theirs.

Shashi Gupta who has recovered from his stroke that time has filed a case against that builder named Vikrant Oberoi but owing to his low financial status and incomplete documents, he couldn't back up the case for more than five months and that happened which threw the Guptas into a mess.

The government sealed their shop owing to the fights between the two parties till the final verdict.

The final decision was due after a week and he was also informed that Vikrant Oberoi's case was very strong and the chances of his win were more.

He called his PA of Lucknow branch.

"Shilpa.. there's something you have to do and keep it low. No one should know anything about it. Am i clear? Good!" He cut the call after instructing her the work and sat back on his seat leaning his head back on the leather chair.

He glanced up at the ceiling which conjured up the image of her not so long ago in his hotel room looking at him with pinch of anger, hurt and above all relentlessness mocking him right on his face.

Now he would have to use her weakness as she has refused to take his direct help.

Her weakness was only one.

Happiness of her family especially her jiji.

"You didn't leave me any other choice Khushi.. Sorry in advance.. You will have to become mine by hook or by crook" he whispered.

His eyes shot open as someone barged in his cabin followed by a scared Shilpa, a smile broke out on his lips which he hid very conveniently.

"Sir i told her that you are busy but she..."

With a sign of his hand he dismissed her and she went closing the door behind.

He leaned on his seat again glancing at the fuming figure before him throwing daggers at him.

"Yes Ms.Gupta? How can i help you?" he asked coolly.

"Ye sab kya hai?(What is all this?)" she smashed the envelop on his table.

"Apki himmat kaise hui aisa karne ki?(How dare you try something like this?)"

"What? What did i do wrong? I offered you two jobs.. Either work with me as my PA or live your life with me as my wife, better half. That's what is written in this interview letter.Don't you think second option is better? But i added the date of tomorrow for your interview. Chalo ab tum aa gayi ho toh abhi interview le lete hain.. Tell me PA k liye interview lun ya biwi k liye...(Now that you are here already, tell me for which i should interview you. For a PA or a wife?)"

He asked with a killing smirk.

"Humein aap k saath koi job wob nahi karni.Samjhe ap?(I don't want to do anything with you.Don't you get it?)"She said and was about to leave when he hurriedly got up from his seat and coming around the table caught her wrist just at the time when her other hand landed on the door knob.
