Guilty Pleasures

"She burned with fire in front of him; and he knew this was his own making yet he couldn't help but be captivated by the spectacle that she was..."

Raghav pulled his black blazer over his beastly form; the usual waistcoat ditched to show off the crisp white shirt that lay beneath it; his hair was fixed to perfection, his eyes radiating an almost murderous ambience as he walked out of his room; his steps matching the ferocity of Shiv's during his Tandav; and as he stalked further down the steps his stance radiating such power and prowl; he managed to effortlessly capture the unwavering gaze of his mother and his staff members alike.

He looked towards his watch; the edge of the arrow in his Gucci watch he had brought himself after his first business deal ticked closer to 6:30 AM.

He looked towards the breakfast table; his mother watching him closely; but he had shouted for Farhad; sparing his mother a small glance before finally turning to leave with an empty stomach; not noticing the way his mothers eyes finally looked at him with something other than contempt.

His journey was quick as the roads lay dormant so early in the morning; and as he turned to look out of the window he couldn't help the somber feeling that had seemed to encase him; he could already feel the tiredness layered in his body; yet his eyes didn't betray his sharp look.

Farhad besides him was busy attending a call; his words as precise as his as he dictated what he wanted and when he wanted it by. He handed over a file to Raghav; who read through the reams of words; taking the outstretched pen offered to him and signing away.

He heard Farhad drop his phone down; his eyes still focused on the words in front of him.

"What's the plan outlined for the candidates today?" He questioned.

"First they have the written exam as forwarded by one of the lawyers in our department. They'll all sit that at the same time and then half an hour from that end time they'll have an hours break so that their answer sheet can be checked. We will know the results before them and then after that hour; we will commence with the interviews in order of which their applications were processed. Depending on how much time we have and the quality of the candidates we will either make a decision today or by tomorrow." Farhad finished.

"The written exam will be done by 8:00AM?" He questioned.

"Yeah they'll have an hour and half for that and then the break for an hour after that. By 9 we are hoping to get through the candidates; each has a half an hour interview slot so we will ideally be done by 12:30PM by the latest 1:00PM."

"Good I'll take the first meeting now then; the necessary paper work for the Shiekh's order take it out for me; they'll be coming to the office later today so I'll need to sign off the order."

"Of course."

"Also regarding one of overseas clients; they're wondering if you'll be able to pay them a visit."

"Is this the Aldricks?"

"Yes."

"Then no."

"Anna."

"If they want their jewellery done they can get their ass on a plane to come here. We are not running after them. I do not have the time to fly to the states. If they wanted to schedule a meeting regarding the shares I have in their company I wouldn't have had a problem in taking an order whilst I was there but they've tried to cheat me out of those said shares therefore if they want me they can do the running around."

"Of course Anna."

As they pulled up they both were quick to veer of in opposing directions; Raghav stalking forth as his arriving staff seemed to part ways to allow him through.
