Desi Dilwale: When His Heart Found Her

Chapter 10

Anchal's POV:

I finally have some peace and quiet. After a day of bouncing from meeting to meeting, I have 20 minutes before the next meeting. I love my job, but having the whole day filled with meetings is hectic even for me. I play some music through the speakers and close my eyes. I can hear Taylor Swift in the background. This is actually relaxing. Just as I was about to drift away, I hear my cabin door open. The only people who enter my cabin without knocking are my monkeys.

I open my eyes to see Jay.

"Kya hua?" I ask him in an irritated tone. ("What happened?")

"Meeting saath mai jayenge." Jay replied smiling. ("Let's go to the meeting together")

"Itna khush kyu hai ladki pati kya?" I ask him in a teasing tone.("Why are you smiling so much? Did you meet a girl?")

"Nai but teri neend kharab karke bohot maza aya" He replies knowing very well that I didn't have a comeback. ("No, but I enjoyed disturbing your sleep.")

"Touché man" I say. "I wasn't sleeping, I was just trying to relax" I tried to defend myself. "I had a hectic day. Subha se meeting to meeting jar ahi hu. Bas ho gaya hai muje."

"Oh My God! The workaholic Anchal ko bas ho gaya hai kaam karke?" ha said in a surprised tone. ("The workaholic Anchal is tired of working?")

"Dude kaam karke nai meetings attend karke. Subha se 6 meetings attend kiye hai maine aur usme sifr 3 productive the. Baki sab time wasting the yaar. Friday, Saturday aur Sunday kaam nai kiya hai maine. Muje aur meeting attend nai karna" I whine. ("Dude I'm not tired of working. I'm tired of meetings. I have attended 6 meetings since morning and only 3 were productive. The rest of the time was wasted I have not worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I don't want to attend another meeting.")

My family and my monkeys are the only people around whom I can be myself. If I start acting like this around everyone people will tear me and my company apart. I am aware that I am called name in the industry. The most common being "The Ice Queen" and "Female Hitler". But I'm used to it by now. And to be honest I kinda like it.

"Oh madam, kya soch rahi ho?" Jay asked. ("What are you thinking of?")

Before I could reply, Tarini my assistant knocked on the door and said it was time for the meeting. Honestly, I was dreading the whole meeting.

In the meeting.

It was a marketing meeting for Kapoor Industries. I was bored listening to the same boring ideas for advertising. These people never get new creative ideas. It's always the same boring overused ideas. I really want to interrupt them and scold them for being incompetent but I look over at Jay who is already shaking his head to say don't do it. I then turn to Tarini and she is also doing the same. Great now I can't even interrupt my own company meetings.

Just then my phone chimes with a text alert. I heck my phone to see Vihaan's text.

Vihaan: You are a bad influence Ms. Kapoor.

Looking at the text my mouth twists into a smile. Then I realise where I am and change into a neutral face. I look around to see jay looking at me

Anchal: Well hello to you to Mr. Agarwal. May I ask why I am such a bad influence?

Vihaan: I am at a café and I'm judging everyone as they order their drink of choice.

Anchal: That is the curse of infinite knowledge. 😈🤫

Vihaan: Dude I'm being serious.

Anchal: So am I.

Vihaan: Okay fine whatever.
