"as you can see, our plans for the  next few months is ready and we will soon..." The presenter on the podium stopped when a phone rang amidst the silence.

"Sorry" Ram apologized realizing it was his phone and taking it out, he shook his head to see Priya calling him, despite him telling her that he has a few important meetings today. Deciding to punish her later, he declined the call and kept his phone on vibration mode and on the desk in front.

"Please continue" He asked the presenter. It was important that he paid attention to the presentation as he will be investing a huge amount on this project and had to be careful about it.

While the presenter continued, the table shuddered ever so slightly and as they were in a sound proof meeting room, everyone heard it and the presenter stopped again.

Closing his eyes in embarrassment, Ram looked at his desk to see Priya calling again. Quickly he clicked his volume button to silence it and gave an awkward nod to the guy to continue, while switching his phone from vibration to silence.

Luckily Priya didn't called for a few minutes and Ram sighed, slightly worried that Priya might be mad at him for not responding so he sneakily picked his phone to text her but was surprised to see he missed a third call from her and before he could open their chat she was calling yet again.

Worried, he ducked a little and picked the call, "Hello!" He whispered and waited for her to speak but there was dead silence on the other end, concerning him more.

"Priya? why you calling me so many times?, I am in a meeting" he asked.

"Mr. Kapoor" Her voice barely a whisper yet had the mellifluous tone with which she says his name.

"Why you speaking like that? is everything okay?" He was getting worried each passing second.

Priya took a deep breathe on the other end and then said with a normal yet low tone "are you busy right now?"

Ram closed his eyes shaking his head at how laid back and ignorant she was being "I am in a meeting right now Priya, I will call you lat.." he tried to end the call but ate his own words when she said "I am naked"

Ram's mouth just dropped, to his greater luck the room was dimly light by only the projector screen on that no one could see his flustered face. It took him a few seconds to get grasp of his mind which froze like an old computer and close his mouth.

"Priya I..." His throat dried out instantly.

"Ram" She lowered her tone again, "I want you" she said in a winded voice while Ram hooked his finger in his choking necktie and tried to loosen it a little.

"I can't help run my fingers down there" She kept on going while Ram looked around to see Vikram noticed him talking and was gesturing him to focus with his eyes, "My fingers are small, they are not helping" She gasped loudly this time "I want you to help me with your fingers..." saying she cut the call abruptly with a high pitched moan that echoed in his ears.

"hello!" He almost yelled, not wanting her to end the call like that.

Vikram noticed that and turned towards him, "you good?" He asked, to which Ram cleared his throat.

"I have to go" Ram told.

"Dude, this meeting is important, you can't go like this" Vikram reminded.

"I... HAVE TO GO" Ram repeated his words taking his wallet and keys from the desk, but before standing, he gave Vikram a wink which cleared all of Vikram's doubts.
