"Whoa, calm down! What's got you so worked up, threatening your employee like that?" Arnav said

"I need those details, and he's being difficult. I can't afford any setbacks." I said rubbing the bridge of my nose.

"Threats won't help. Take a breather. You're acting out of anger. By the way, you've got that business meeting-slash-party later, remember?" Arnav said and I let out a sigh.

"I don't care about a party right now. I need that information." I replied

"Look, you can't let this ruin your evening. We'll figure it out, but for now, chill. You don't want to make enemies at the party too, right? And also ask Navya to join you today". He said and walked out of my cabin.

In the dim glow of the computer screen, I scours every corner of the it, frustration building with each futile search. The elusive man remains hidden, a ghost in the digital realm.

"I'll find you, no matter how deep you hide. This ends soon," I mutters to myself.

I decided to text Navya to ask if she could join me for the party. I don't want to disturb her if she is caught up with some work.

"Navya I hope I am not disturbing you but, there's a party tonight, more like a business meet. And I Want you by my side. Care to accompany me?" I texted her.

Teasing grin emoji* "Oh, a party, huh? Are you trying to show off your stunning wife, or is there some other motive?" She texted and I smiled at her sarcasm.

"Well, maybe a bit of both. But seriously, it's important. I'll send you a dress. Be ready by 07:00, alright?" I texted back.

"You're lucky I will join you. Fine, I'll get ready, but you owe me for the inconvenience." She texted back.

"Deal. You're the best. See you at 07:00, sharp." I ended.

I asked Arijit to arrange a stylist and get an outfit ready for Navya within an hour.

Mr. Raivansh as usual dropped me to my office and left for his own. And today something weird was happening with me. I kept imagining the visuals of my MMC but I couldn't do it. My imagination and the visuals were completely opposite and hence I stopped Writing. And that's when prerna came in with a warm cup of coffee.
