DELHI - INDIA

Fusion Beats

There's lots of commotion in the room, yelling can be heard from across the hall indicating that there Is a heated argument happening, well, not exactly an argument because it sounds more like a scolding as one voice is the loudest and most audible. The rest of the employees are whispering to each other at their respective posts about what the screaming within the conference room is about.

Inside the conference room a man is shown shouting angrily at another much smaller older looking man in a black suit and tie, while another man is trying his best to calm down and reason with his brother who is screaming at the poor lad, the lads head is hung low like a scared child as he listens to the scolding his boss is giving him.
On the giant round conference room table there are a pile of documents scattered across it and an empty brown envelope that appears to have been torn open. The screaming continues and the man who is yelling is Abhi

Abhi : How can you tell me it was cancelled? What am I fucking paying you for huh!!!

The little man in the suit tries to defend himself and speaks

Mr Saluja : I'm sorry Mr Mehra but it's really not my fault, the headline act cancelled last minute.

 Abhi gets even angrier at this statement and retortes

Abhi : What the hell do you mean Cancelled?

Mr Saluja : yes Mr Mehra, Canceled. The headline act and the artist who started this whole project two years ago suddenly canceled it at the last minute.

Abhi : what!? Why the hell did he cancel it after we did all the preparations for the album here huh? Why did he wait until we did all the work and just cancel at the last minute?

At this point purab also chimed in

Purab : yes Mr Saluja why did he wait this long? What was his reason?

Mr Saluja : I don't know Mr Khanna, he simply said he was no longer interested and refused to sign the contract.

Now at this point even purab was getting angry and shouted

Purab : How arrogant and rude, who the hell is this so called headline act?

Abhi : yes, who the hell is this guy anyway?

Mr Saluja : he's not just another headline act sir, he is one of the biggest rappers in Europe, A platinum certified artist with multiple Grammys to his name, in fact his last album was certified Gold

Abhi was getting irritated listening to Mr Saluja praise the artist so much and shouted

Abhi : I did not ask you for his bloody qualifications, I asked who the hell he is!

Mr Saluja gulped in fear at Abhi's wrath and responded

Mr Saluja : King Singh! he is the superstar rapper King Singh!

Abhi was shocked at this revelation, King Singh? The same Rapper who had been his music rival for years? although he had never met him, he always seemed to be losing to this guy, he beat him in winning the last Grammy awards and even beat his number One album rating on the Billboard hot hundred. That same guy had yet again beaten him in another area of his career, Abhi was livid. He smashed his fist on the table in anger and shouted

Abhi : Damnit! That bastard beat me again! How the hell do I keep losing to a guy I have never even met, he keeps snatching things from me

Purab tried to calm his brother and spoke
