How it look like when the vibrant shades started to enter in your monochromatic life, Raman Bhalla can feel indifferent in his life ever since his new secretary joined them. He knew it was a fatal attraction towards the young girl but at a same time he was not ready to acknowledge the same. He believe everything is a matter of the time, his life bitter experience never encouraged him to follow his heart. Indeed his fiance was excited for their relationship but at the same time he was treating it nothing more than a business deal. He shifted his gaze away from his Secretary who was visible through the glass panels of his cabin towards his fiance Shagun who was blabbering god knows what. He wore his glasses back and chose to nod positive on everything Shagun was saying rather than giving his inputs. Shagun parents were interested in a formal engagement ceremony to announce their relationship but Raman wished for a marriage. His deal with Hexa Telecom cannot be delayed for thr longer.

"Shagun!!! Why don't you pick your outfit by yourself? I am actually very busy today."

"Raman!!!! It's for our engagement ceremony. I want us to wear coordinated dresses."

"I appreciate your demand but I am actually busy today so..." Raman somehow managed to convince Shagun to go for shopping by herself. Raman throw his head back looking at Shagun retreating figure and opened the word file he was reading previously. The lack of funds are only giving them losses, the Bhalla Group Of Companies going to see it's downfall if he didn't get the access on the time. He called Mihir and Ishita in his cabin, tomorrow they're going to do their another meeting with Hexa Telecom and he hopes if this one turns out as a final one.

"Ms. Iyer, you have been associated with this project since beginning so I want you to lead this meeting."

It was late afternoon if the same day when Raman called his reliable staff in the boardroom. Ishita who was busy in making notes almost coughed aloud listening her boss order. She blinked her eyes with disbelief if whatever she listened is truth or not.

"Sir.....but me?" Ishita stammered continued to blink her eyes.

"Yes, you. Any problem Ms. Iyer?"

"No....I mean no sir." Ishita shake her head in denial looking everywhere. She was overwhelmed with this new opportunity she got today, she won many prizes in the allocution and debates competition in her school and colleges. She hoped if the confidence she gathered all these years help her tomorrow. Everyone present there got busied in their work but there was one person who was clearly unhappy with the privilege new secretary getting.

"Aiyo! It's eight already. How will I go today!" Ishita punched her card and came out from the building looking everywhere. She kicked herself mentally for missing the office convenience, now she has to wait for an hour before the official car comes back or she has to hire the government bus from the bus stop which was a few meters away from her office. Ishita knew it was eight but she can take the risk, she started walking towards the bus stop plugging earplugs in her ears, the roads were dimly lit but the lights were enough to set the vision. The stop was a few meters away from the office, the lights were visible, it was the busy bus stop and she can see the heads of the people's standing there. Ishita started to take long steps until a car stopped her way, she narrowed her eyebrows finding her fellow colleague Varun standing infront of her. A cunning smile was plastered on his lips which made her feel disgusted. Ishita clucthed the strap of her bag, fear started to bother her but she kept a confident face.
