Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 37

Recap: Vikram planned to fly London for the new project deal.

**************

Vikram and Pugazh arrived at the office and immediately instructed Sharath to arrange a staff meeting. Within minutes, the team had assembled in the conference hall. Vikram and Pugazh walked in, drawing everyone's attention. Vikram stepped forward and addressed the room.

"Good morning, team. Let me keep this short. This is Mr. Pugazh, our newly appointed Managing Director of Vikram Group of Companies. I hope you all have a great time working under him. Pugazh will be reporting directly to me," Vikram announced.

Pugazh looked at Vikram with surprise but said nothing.

"That's all for today. You can carry on," Vikram concluded.

Everyone wished Pugazh and exited the hall. Vikram and Pugazh then made their way to Vikram's cabin.

"Why did you do this now?" Pugazh asked, settling into a chair. "Do you think this was necessary?"

"Would you do this for me?" Vikram countered.

"I'm not denying it," Pugazh replied. "Just curious about the sudden decision."

"There is a reason," Vikram said. "I've already instructed the infrastructure team to set up your cabin. You're joining from today."

"Whatever you say," Pugazh said with a shrug.

Vikram handed him a file. "The work you'll handle is detailed in this file. Go through it—you'll get a clear picture."

Pugazh took the file, flipped through it, and nodded.

"We could do this very well," he said confidently.

By the end of the day, they returned home. Pranitha, Sana, and Amma greeted them with congratulations. To celebrate, the family went out for dinner.

The following week was packed. The entire team was focused on preparing a presentation for a new project—covering planning, finance, and resources. Nisha, the head of the project team, led the follow-ups and was tasked with presenting the plan to Vikram for feedback. She showed up dressed provocatively—tight-fitting clothes, a short skirt, and a low-cut top that accentuated her figure.

She had the conference hall prepped and waited for Vikram.

Vikram entered with Sharath right behind him.

"Ms. Nisha, you can start your presentation," Vikram instructed.

"Yes, sir. Sharath, you can go if you've got other work," she added casually.

"Okay, Nisha," Sharath said and walked out, leaving her alone with Vikram.

Nisha began the presentation while Vikram kept his eyes fixed on the screen. He didn't utter a word until she finished. Then she leaned over the table, close to him.

"Sir... how was that?" she asked with a suggestive smile.

Vikram shifted his gaze back to the screen. "There are a few corrections. Here's what you need to do..." He listed the changes calmly.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it, sir. I'll finish it with the corrections and get it back to you."

"No need, Ms. Nisha," Vikram replied firmly. "You can finish it and inform Sharath."

"But why, sir? It would be better if you could check the corrections personally."

"Well... let me try," Vikram said, keeping his tone neutral.

I will not miss out on this chance, Vikram. Before sealing this project, I will seal you. Nisha thought in her mind.

Vikram left the room and returned to his cabin, then immediately called Sharath.
