Something in You Calls Me (Complete)

Chap_16. The Meeting

Maya's POV....

When I saw the company name, I got more nervous as I have heard of its standard before which was bound to be near perfection.

When Nayeem mentioned the company was in the top ten list, I didn't expect it would be the company.

The confidence I showed to Nayeem was cracking already. But remembering our situation, I got working hard, giving my best. I worked till late at night not bothering the headache.

But when the reality hit me, I ended up taking the medicine and gulped some water, and made my way to the bed calling it a day.

The same thought was making its way to my mind but I cut it off knowing it would lead to nowhere. The next day I got up late. Taking a quick shower, I dried myself and got dressed up.

Without bothering to get to the office, I completed the presentation work at home in the morning. The meeting was supposed to be at 3 in the afternoon.

Taking my lunch with vabi, I forwarded towards the place where the meeting was supposed to be held. But unfortunately got stuck in a jam.

I was getting damn worried as it was getting almost about the time to start that meeting but I was still on the road.

I felt frustrated.

So confidently I told Nayeem that I would handle the meeting and I worked so hard for it but here it seemed like I wouldn't even get to reach the place of meeting.

Just amazing!

My mind mocked.

I was getting angry but couldn't get to snap at it rather kept wishing the jam to get cleared and me to reach there before it's too late.

By the time I reached there, it was already 3:30 by afternoon. I was expecting to get blocked at the reception but to my utter surprise, she didn't and directed me the way to the conference room.

When I entered, someone was giving a presentation. I walked in silently and took a seat at a corner. The room was somewhat dark except for the light from the projector.

Someone else also entered after me in the room but without bothering to look at him, I kept myself busy preparing my presentation mentally.

After almost one hour finally, when it was my turn, I walked to the front. I handed my presentation document to the assigned person.

The slide got flashing on the projector screen after a few moments. I introduced myself and my company and then started my presentation.

I guess I was the last person for giving the presentation as the lights were on of the room as soon as I was done. I got back to my seat. There was silence in the room for some moments and then I heard a voice.

"It's all right. Thank you all for your participation for this deal. We will have a short discussion over this and let you know the result. Please wait outside." A young man spoke up all this in one go and smilingly directed us the way out.

I heard this voice but being all nervous about this meeting, I couldn't recognize it and got up from my seat to leave the meeting room and turned to my left.

Then I saw him.

Arnav. He was also sitting at a corner of the room.

What was he doing here!!

He was looking somewhere else and seemed to be sad. Why!

Did his presentation go bad?

But I didn't see him giving his presentation. Maybe he finished earlier before I came.
