"Open your hearts, and welcome the new face of Singhania's Empire, our CEO, our representative, Mrs Mehak Singhania." Raghuvendra announced proudly, as Mehak entered with Aksh following her. Both Aksh and Mehak carried themselves gracefully in their formal attires. Jeevika was present there too, alongwith Ruhh. The applauds rang in the huge hall, as Mehak felt overwhelmed to face such a crowd. The building was decorated much to her surprise. She thought they(Aksh and Raghuvendra) didn't want her, then such a grand, proud welcome?

Must be an act in front of all. Ofcourse, Singhania's reputation.

[Attire in the description box.]

She had never been prone to this, cause Randhawas always hid her and branded her as useless and unworthy of such things. The sudden rush scared her, her insecurities kicking in. Will she able to handle the company? A huge empire? She had no experience, nothing.

Placing a fake small smile, she accepted the flower bouquet from the many employees. She hoped she won't trip on her heels, and make a fun out of her. Some looked at her curiously, some skeptical, some happy, some jealous and some bored and indifferent. Mumbling thank yous, she almost wanted to crawl back. She expected a peaceful entry.

"Congratulations, ma'am." The sharp snitch in the voice, made her look up confused only to meet a scowling face of Ria who thursted the bouquet into her hands harshly. Miss Ria Sharma, one of the make up kits who was ape shit crazy for Aksh. Duh. Mehak scoffed internally. She had tolerated her before, not again.

Raghuvendra's voice saved her from replying, "I'm sure, our new CEO will make us proud and make us reach greater heights. Being new to this field, her husband, and your former CEO and present COO, will be assisting her as her pa." Hushed whispers rang in the hall. Aksh was known to never the one to listen someone's orders, now being pa to his wife? Yes, pigs were flying everywhere.

"I know it's unexpected," Raghuvendra chuckled, covering up his laughter at the scowling face of his son, "But as we know Mehak has just recovered from coma, and let's just say your boss is whipped for her wife." Chorus of chuckles followed.

"Dad." Aksh groaned silently. He was embarrassing him, and ruining his image. Mehak looked baffled at the strings of lies. What a good cover up? Now this grand welcome makes sense. It was all to prevent Aksh from being insulted by his own wife as her pa.

"This also calls in for a celebration. This weekend, all of you are invited to enjoy the buffet." Leave it for Raghuvendra to throw parties. "Get back to work everyone." Aksh ordered.
