V: ok I am leaving.. I will see you after the evening.

He just left the room and Misti entered

M: will the meeting be here?

R: yeah our CEO just left as he is having a client meeting so we can continue without him.

Mishti saw the direction Reyansh pointed and saw someone leaving  in hurry 

The meeting started with the agenda of  what company is currently doing, different ideas that can be incorporated to enhance the battery production and the stability.

Mishti too gave some insights what she thinks can be done and the experiments need to be carried out. 

The meeting ended with a good note and everyone appreciated her idea

R: Mishti you can initiate on the experiments you suggested...

M: Ok. she went to her desk to plan the experiments and read some articles and after that moved to the synthesis lab

After finishing her work she got a call from her old college friend Arnav whom she is only close to. He stays in Singapore with his wife and moved 5 years back.
