"Okay so the budget file done" huffing out a loud breath, Helly shifted on to her next work, that is analyzing the situation and copying down the impromptus ideas.
She opened all the modes of social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter on different devices and glanced at the clock once, "Oh it's already 12:00". She tried to look on the scenarios to have a rough idea of the happenings.
"I don't have time or I would have made a fake account to get a better understanding from the grounds" she muttered to herself and harshly pulled all her hairs up in a messy bun.
"Excuse me Sir" called Helly not looking up from the screen.
"Yes Ms. Shah" he responded looking towards her when his eyebrows furrowed a bit.
"Sir...." She started saying when her phone gave a ring. She peeked her head towards it to see Roaan calling. She immediately muted her phone and then continued saying, "sorry sir...." Rrahul shook his head casually, ".... Sir I was asking why can't we release the show on OTT platform? You did a webseries with her once, it was hit" she completed.
Rrahul lips curved into a smile, "Good question Ms. Shah, but you know what, till then people didn't know me. No one cared where I work what I do. Now since now I am getting a little recognition, people treat me as their own and try to shape my life" he said and Helly felt her mouth opening with each word.
"Your phone Ms. Shah" he said gesturing towards her phone, snapping her out if the loop.
She nodded and lifted it up to see 3 missed calls. Ignoring, she placed it back on the table.
Not a harsh word, not a bit of boastfulness, "Is he a human?!" She find herself asking and then looked down at her devices nodding her head. Just then a message popped up, "Where are you baby?"
"I am dancing on the beach" she replied back irritated and switched off her phone banging it on the table.
Rrahul looked at her startled and then shrugging off his shoulders he continued doing with his work.
***********
It was nearly 3:00 when the conference room was ready.
The well lit, cool room had a large centre table with file placed opposite to the fixed number of chairs. A packed bottle of water placed slightly adjacent to each file.
T
he chairs all well comfy with new cushion covers waiting eagerly to welcome it's occupants.
Helly walking into the room along with the peon 'George' asked him to set up the projector.
Connecting her laptop to it, Helly was all set to welcome the officials.
"Ms. Shah! Everything prepared?" Asked Rrahul as he barged into the conference room rubbing his palm together.
"Everything is done" she said smiling and Rrahul nodded his head in response.
"Let's take our places, they are almost here" he said lightly brushing her shoulder and then walked towards the chairs.
"Yes Sir" she said feeling the area of touch with her slender fingers and blinked her eyes briskly.
She turned towards the peon, "George leave this and just go check if the dining area is set. How far are the evening snacks?" she ordered and continue assembling the plugs of the projector. The peon bowed and walked out of the room.
