Chapter 3 - The Meeting
Khushi is as shocked as ASR. Her steps freezed on the spot. Within seconds, her heart sank and the heat pounding through her turned into
ice. Oh Hell!
Khushi thinks: Arnav Singh Raizada? Not the ASR? Not the one i hate so much...
She reluctantly steps forward as disappointment washed through her. ASR might be shocked but the killing expression from khushi's eyes brings back his devilish smirk. He holds out his hand to khushi.
ASR: Hello Miss Gupta, long time no see. How are you?
Khushi hesitates but takes his hand.
Khushi: I'm fine Mr Raizada, Thanks for your concern.
She takes her eyes away from that legendary expression of ASR and turns to Mr Khurana.
Khushi: Mr Khurana I don't mind waiting outside till you finish your meeting with Mr Raizada.
ASR is so amused .
He thinks: What a funny situation! Drama Queen!
And he intervenes,
ASR: Oh No Miss Gupta, we've been waiting for you to start our meeting. And 10 minutes of my precious time has already been wasted, So... Shall we start?
Khushi stares up as him standing there oozing self confident charm, his eyes gleaming with that wicked glint. On seeing him, Khushi was shocked and cursing fate, but now she is angry.
Khushi thinks: How dare he talk to me like that? No one talks to Khushi Gupta this way!
Anger overpowers her mind. She overides any sense of civility, politeness and reason.
Khushi: Due respect Mr Khurana, but Gupta Indesigns prefers to have its meetings confidential.
J K: I understand Miss Gupta, but if you both are not present, then this meeting is of no use. So if you put rivalry aside for some moment i'll be grateful.
Khushi: Fine!
Khushi looks at ASR as she sees his smile become knowing and the gleam in his eyes turn to something that look suspiciously like triumph.
She takes her seat next to ASR.
J K: So lets get back to our meeting. You both surely must have heard about the coming wedding of my daughter, Anshika.Well she might have found her best man on her own, but now i want the best wedding ceremony for Anshika. Best reception,... best wedding,... and most importantly best dresses. I want my daughter to be the most beautiful bride.
Khushi: Of course Mr Khurana, Gupta InDesigns has a large bride collection. She'll not be disapp...
J K: I'm sure Miss Gupta, that's why you are here.Coming to the point, Anshika just love your designs. She says you are a fabulous designer.
Khushi's winning smile fades away when Mr Khurana continues...
J K: As well as your designs Mr Raizada. So Anshika wants you both as her designers for her wedding dresses.
Khushi and Arnav are stuck on what Mr Khurana just said.
ASR & Khushi: That's impossible!
They both look at each other in disgust.
Khushi: Mr Khurana, that's unimaginable, we can never work together.
AsR: Yes Sir, for once i agree with her. We are two different companies. Its either AR Designs or Gupta InDesigns. Its wiser to choose between one of us.
J K: ASR, you both are brilliant designers. And my daughter's wish is more important for me than a wiser decision. And to agree to this deal together, I think its best for you. You might have try at Indian designs before but you both are much expert in other kinds of fashion. So working together you'll be much efficient. Besides, this contract will be a good opportunity for you both. Well i think I'll you alone for some time to make a decision.
Mr Khurana takes his way to the door and before leaving his cabin he turns to the tensed looks of ASR and Khushi.
J K: Remember, rivalry is not always good for wiser business people.
Precap: Khushi: That's impossible! We can't work together, Never!
