A light in the flame

Chapter 2 - A special day

Kiara and Akshu dropped their little angels at School and went straight to work.

Akshara was already grumpy before even stepping into her company's building. Just thinking about her useless boss makes her want to go back to her home and never come back.

After getting back to school to study business ( which she made mostly from home in order to take care of her baby Abhir), she started working as an executive assistant. Lucky her, she ended up with the most underqualified boss EVER. As his assistant, she ends up doing all of his work. And when he tries to do something she ends up working 3 times more to make up for his mistakes !

However something is shifting, today they have a very important meeting. Her boss never stressed over things, but today he was stressed out.

" Ah Akshara you are here, thank god ! Is everything ready for the meeting ?"

" Yes sir don't worry, i will do the presentation as usual and reply to every questions that they have for us."

" Great ! Let's wait for them in the meeting room !"

Akshara rolled her eyes as soon as he disappeared. She smiles while she looks at the pics of her Abhir Kiara and Kairi on her desk. Their smiles reflected their happiness, and she thanked god every day for that.

Her boss and the board members all sat anxiously waiting for the meeting to start. On the other hand, she was calmly sitting next to her boss reading her notes...

As soon as Sidharth Singh entered the room everyone got up, Akshara included.

Sidharth Singh was the most influential entrepreneur in India , however Akshara has never seen him or a picture of him.

Damn he is HOT, Akshu was blushing. Omg I need to get myself together !! Why am I reacting like a teenager seeing her celebrity crush ???

Not only is he very good looking but he is also young, he must be 5 years older than Akshara, while she expected a man in his sixties !

The meeting went smoothly, as usual she did most of the work, replying to Mister Singh and his team every question.

When the meeting ended Sidharth shook Akshara's hand thanking her for her work and gave her his business card. Being careful to ne be heard by the others, he said :

" I am currently looking for an assistant. I saw today how you handled all the meeting by yourself, proving how competent you are. I can give you the triple of the salary that you have right now and i am open for negotiation. If you are interested please call me as soon as possible."

Not giving her a chance to replay, he quickly left the room with his team behind him.

Akshara was dumbfounded, what just happened here ???

On the other side of Mumbai, Kiara was outside of a bakery waiting in line. Today was her Akshu's birthday !!! She can't believe that her bubbly cute Akshu, who is now a mature woman, a mom, is turning 30 !! Akshara dislikes celebrating her birthday but Kiara will not let her ignore her 30th birthday !

Having the cake already, she took her car to go get the kids. They are the most excited about this surprise party !! Kiara was humming happily to her song unaware of the car next to her.

Sid was typing angrily at his phone replying to an email about a merger that didn't go well. His driver stopped because of a red light. Opening his window he heard a sweet voice humming to a song, but before he got a glimpse of her face, Kiara started the car and went quickly to the left while Sid's car went straight ahead.
