[HOTEL OBEROI]

[As it was already 10, all the main doors of the hotel were closed with tight security service. Veera got out of his car and headed towards the main door. 2 of the guards blocked him on the doorway.]

Guard 1: You can't go outside.

[Veera showed them his ID but they were not ready to take him in.]

Veera: Oh! Come on. I need to go inside.

Guard 2: We can't let you to go inside, Sir.

Veera: It's urgent, man.

[As there was no way out he stepped back and called the hotel owner, Nill Oberoi.]

[In voice call.]

Veera: (on the phone) Mr. Oberoi, it's Veera. I need to get inside the hotel right now. There's something I need to check. Please, can you inform your security to let me in?

Nill: (on the other end) Veera, what's going on? Is everything alright?

Veera: I'll tell you later. Please hurry up.

Nill: (sighing) Alright, Veera. I'll let them know. Give me a moment.

[Veera paced back and forth, waiting for the clearance. The guards eyed him warily but remained silent. Within a few minutes, one of their Walkie-talkie buzzed, and they received the confirmation from Nill.]

Guard 1: You can go in now, Sir.

Veera: Thank you.

[Veera hurried inside, making his way towards the lobby, there he met Nill Oberoi. He was looking very tensed by Veera's call.]

Nill: (hurried to him) What happened Veera?

Veera: What about the meeting?

Nill: It's already started 15 minutes ago.

Veera: Is it on the Grand Ballroom?

Nill: Yes! 5th floor.

Veera: (in a convincing manner) But I've to go inside the room.

[At a distance.]

[While Veera was busy speaking with the owner, Sitara was passing just beside him. So she discovered him and she stopped abruptly, her eyes widening slightly as she caught a sight of Veera.]

[Sitara's heart skipped a beat as she observed Veera's confident demeanor and the way his black suit perfectly complemented his tall, athletic frame. She admired his striking appearance in her mind.]

[Her gaze lingered on Veera. She noticed his focused expression, the way his eyes lit up with determination as he was speaking to Nill.]

Sitara: (blushing slightly) He's... captivating.

[Veera's presence had an almost magnetic pull on her. She found herself wanting to know more about him, drawn in by his mysterious aura. She continuously gazed at him to speak with the hotel owner.]

Sitara: (smiling softly to herself) There's something about him... something intriguing.

[She took a step forward, wanting to get a closer look, but then hesitates, not wanting to intrude. Instead, she remained at a distance, observing Veera with a mixture of admiration and curiosity.]

[Veera, still focused on his conversation with Nill, didn't notice Sitara watching him.]

[At Veera's side.]

Nill: WHAT!! You can't.

Veera: (stopped walking) It's urgent. Please understand.

Nill: But what's wrong? At least tell me.

Veera: It's about the ventilation ducts. I have a suspicion that something might be off.

Nill: But no one will be allowed to enter inside the Ballroom until the meeting will be finished.

Veera: Don't worry, at least I can the the Main Storage's vent. Because as per the blueprint both are connected.

Nill: Yes, you can. But I can't go because I've to go to the  Ballroom.

Veera: No problem. I can manage. But please make a call if you get any doubt.

Nill: Definitely.

[As soon as Me. Oberoi left, Veera hurried to the storage which is on the 5th floor.]

[Just as he turned a corner, he discovered Sitara who was still gazing at him from the opposite direction. Her eyes widened in surprise.]

[As there was no way out to escape Sitara came close to him.]

Sitara: (gasping) Mr. Veera? What are you doing here so early?

[She was mesmerized more as she came close to him.]

Veera: (smiling slightly) Good morning, Sitara. I came here to check something. I think I might have overlooked something very potential.

Sitara: (regaining her composure) Oh, I see. Well, do you need any help?

Veera: (appreciating her offer) Actually, yes. Could you accompany me to the maintenance room? I might need your knowledge of the hotel's layout.

Sitara: (nodding) Of course. Let's go.

[They walked side by side.]

[They reached the maintenance room, and Sitara used her keycard to unlock the door. Inside, the room was filled with various pieces of equipment, blueprints, and tools. Veera immediately went to the section that controlled the ventilation system.]

Veera: (studying the schematics) See here, Sitara. This duct connects the Grand Ballroom directly to the main storage area. If someone knew about this, they could potentially access the conference room without being seen.

Sitara: (frowning) I never noticed that before. Do you think someone might try to use it?

Veera: (serious) It's a possibility we can't ignore. We need to ensure this duct is secured and monitored.

Sitara: Okay. I can understand.

Veera: (determined) Let's inspect the ventilation ducts. Something about them seemed off.

[Veera climbed up on a aluminum ladder, pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight to inspect the vent thoroughly. Sitara watched him work, impressed by his thoroughness and attention to detail.]

Sitara: (looking up) Are you okay?

Veera: Yeah. I'm alright.

Sitara: Do you need any help?

Veera: (smiling at Sitara) Just get me a screwdriver.

[After searching for a minute, Sitara managed to get him a screwdriver.]

[He approached the ducts and noticed that one of the maintenance panels was slightly ajar. Veera exchanged a glance with Sitara.]

Sitara: Carefull!

Veera: Don't worry.

[Then he slightly opened the panel.]

Veera: (Locked inside grimly) That's what I feared. This will compromise the entire meeting.

Sitara: (in fear) What happened?

[Veera quickly unlocked his phone to made a call.]

[There was no network on his phone.]
