Reyansh - What the fuck ?!

Butler - Reyansh baba , sorry but it's 10am. Please wake up..You are getting late for office. Everybody is awake already.

Reyansh doesn't pay heed to the butlers words.
He just sits up on his bed and picks up his phone.

Scrolling through the news , he comes across one news item talking about his family. The Lambas.

"Reyansh Lamba , Son of the power couple ,
Vivek Lamba and Kadambari Devi. The family of talent from all fields , business and entertainment...but are they really the IT family of the entertainment industry?"

Reyansh - Rubbish! These entertainment portals are such gossip mongers

Reyansh - Rubbish! These entertainment portals are such gossip mongers. Why do they care. Annoying creeps!

Saying that he throws his phone aside on the bed and wakes up. The morning article itself spoiled his mood because whatever was written was just a stupid facade.

He gets up properly and starts getting ready. Just when he gets into the car, his driver tells him that the car is not working and needs repair, which again irritates him. He is definitely having an awful day.

To be honest, every day was awful for Reyansh.

He moves to the pavement looking for a taxi when he sees a cab stop for a lady. He immediately takes the cab .  For some reason, the girl looked very familiar. The girl obviously was annoyed but Reyansh didn't care.
He just gave the location to the driver and they left.

He reaches his office and looks at the board , NationTrue .
The only thing giving him the purpose to strive. His passion and love for journalism.

Reyansh's dad , Mr Vivek Lamba wanted his only son to join the family business and take care of their chain of hotels , VK Manor .

But Reyansh had no interest in joining the business. Nationtrue was a result of his passion , with Vivek Lamba as an investor.
He wanted to do something where he can just publish the truth , expose false personalities. He hates lies and there is no room for dishonesty in his life.

As he enters the office , all the employees greet him cheerfully but Reyansh wasn't in a very good mood . He just nods without a smile and enters his posh cabin.

Rey was usually casual with his employees. They respected him and his passion a lot.

But he was also strict when it came to work

But he was also strict when it came to work. He wanted a bunch of  journalists and reporters, who were equally passionate as him.

The girls mainly loved him. Reyansh being an attractive , tall , dark and handsome guy made everyone stop and stare. That is the aura which Reyansh Lamba holds.

Reyansh checks his calendar and sees that there is an interview scheduled. He calls the receptionist.

Reyansh - Send the employee from the new recruitment batch now.

Receptionist - The employee isn't here yet , Mr Lamba

Reyansh - What ? Its 5mins past the scheduled time...I hate tardiness.

He cuts the call. By then Sunaina enters.

Sunaina - Rey , we have a meeting with the board of directors. We should go now.

They leave for the meeting. Reyansh's dad is the investor so he is also present in the meeting.
They discuss on the ideas for the meeting and Reyansh has some promising ideas and improvements for the progress of the channel.

The board is impressed with his skills. They leave the meeting room satisfied and content.

On reaching his cabin , he sees the phone ringing and picks up. It's the receptionist , to inform about the new candidate's arrival. She was late.

Reyansh - Send her in.

With that Reyansh turns his chair facing the wall.
A girl enters after a few minutes , her voice sounded tensed.
She places her resume and files on the desk.

Reyansh - You are late. What is the guarantee that you won't repeat this again

Girl - Sorry Sir. It won't happen again.

Reyansh - I don't encourage indiscipline and hence won't consider you. I have seen your profile on GlassDoor. We were looking for beginners to bring some freshness to the desk but I guess we don't need you now. You can leave.

The girl keeps requesting and I turn around, she gives me a shocked look.

Girl - You ?!

Reyansh ( thinking) - Ohh... that's why she looked familiar. She's the cab girl.

Rey notices her expression change from guilt to shock to anger . She looked confused. But however she was resilient and determined.
It was something I wanted in my employees.

She explained and kept trying to convince me. However I had already made my choice to hire her seeing her personality.

Reyansh - Well Miss Sahni. Whether you will get another chance or no, that's my decision to take. You may please leave now. Period.

She looked dejected for sure. But once she gets the news , the happiness will be doubled for her.

Reyash rings Sunaina,

Reyansh - There is a new employee recruitment. Her name is Aradhna Sahni. Beginner's Profile.
Send her the hiring process details. She needs to join after 2 weeks on the new release date.

Aradhna caught Reyansh's attention because girls usually were quiet or respectful towards him. But Aradhna was the first girl , who was arguing with him, getting angry and irritated because she wanted the job desperately and was resilient.

She would make for a strong reporter and that's what Reyansh wanted....
Satisfied with his choice , he continues his work.
