Story Of My Life (ON HOLD)

15. Ms. Gupta Vs. ASR

ASR always has his way of getting things done. Earning what he wants is more his style. He is a mastermind in making deals and has a very distinct pattern of thought process.

ASR searches for loopholes, puts forward the offer in a way depicting the advantage of his clients. That's his first lesson 'None in this world does favor. If you want something, never ask for it specifying your need. Showcase it as a deal indicating their profit. It's best to make it seem like it's for their welfare when the person benefiting from the task is you in reality.'

Arnav smirked when the door opened, presuming a finalized deal. He is a businessman and believes 'Investing Money is the key to almost any problem.' He was typing away on his laptop, but his mind was skeptical about the agreement. His conscience was giving him a clear indication of what's about to come- The deal already offered hefty profit that would equate to probably their ten other projects implying money might not be the solution.

Aman strolled into his office with his head held down. He took in a deep breath before informing, "They denied the offer, ASR."

"It's a challenge then! "

ASR was pleasantly surprised, expecting the same for some reason though his mind calculated a closed deal. He took the design file into his hands, reading the name on the front page, 'Ms.Gupta.' The name lingered in his head for a few seconds admiring her professionalism.

"Time for some fun, Ms.Gupta."

ASR consistently has a backup plan he used rarely. He made eye contact with Aman, which he barely does before instructing his PA. Aman breathed a sigh of relief hearing his next set of commands "I need the details of their current projects." Aman paced out thanking the Lord a thousand times for his generosity. Aman could only imagine getting fired the moment he entered ASR's cabin with a negative.

Aman pounded into the devil's cabin with the new information. ASR scanned the names leisurely after finishing his mail and smirked, hearing Aman "Two of them currently are involved with AR. I'm sure they can be talked into withdrawing with convincing justification. The third one can be trapped with Money, ASR. I checked his background."

Arnav handed over the file to Aman, and his lips turned up. Aman bounced into his cabin that evening, informing him about the progress. Arnav closed the file expecting a call Saturday morning.

The following day Arnav marched into his cabin, followed by Aman. His PA was about to read out his schedule when an impatient ASR cut him, "Is the deal finalized?"

Aman couldn't decipher why ASR gave high importance to such a simple deal and hesitantly nodded negatively. Arnav ordered Aman to call back and convince them no matter what the price was. His sister's happiness mattered.

Aman sighed in great relief, apprising his boss, "They agreed, ASR. When I offered them any amount of money, they opted for the initial sum we quoted. They stated their lack of interest in making money for which they don't work." This is another surprise to Arnav. He only nodded to Aman with a cold face holding his confusion, who walked out later.

"Who the hell willingly left money?"

Arnav seemed pissed off with this new piece of information but dismissed the thought soon. He became busy with back-to-back meetings and presentations that day.

Kushi was sitting in her cabin, chewing her HB pencil, wondering why all three clients suddenly withdrew their offer. She accepted the Shantivan project when they called again.

Kushi reached home early that evening as Aryan and Buaji were leaving for about a month. Kushi pampered Aryan requesting him to be a good boy without annoying Buaji.
