As I stepped into the parking lot, I greeted the driver, addressing him affectionately as 'bhaiya,' recalling our previous journeys together to meetings with my boss. It dawned on me that he was often behind the wheel whenever my boss and I embarked on business trips. Taking my place in the passenger seat, I settled in to wait. Suddenly, my boss emerged from the elevator, greeted warmly by both the watchman and the driver. As he strode toward us with an air of confidence, I couldn't help but marvel at his commanding presence, reminiscent of a cinematic hero.

As I became engrossed in my work, I noticed my boss sliding into the back seat and the vehicle beginning to move. Lost in my tasks, I was jolted back to reality when the car came to a halt. Glancing up, I found myself staring at a magnificent mansion. It dawned on me that this was my first time visiting a client's home; our meetings typically took place in their offices, our own workplace, or cafes

As we approached the security gate of Singhania Mansion, leaving the driver in the car, Mr. Taragi cautioned me, 'Ms. Gururani, I appreciate your professionalism, but please maintain silence for now. Mrs. Singhania is known for her strict demeanor.' He continued, 'I've never seen her smile or laugh, not even at parties.'

Unable to resist a quip, I remarked, 'Well then, you two should get along just fine.' However, I quickly fell silent as I caught his disapproving glare, opting instead to focus on our path ahead

We arrived at the security gate, which granted us entry into the magnificent Singhania Mansion. As we stepped inside, I couldn't help but gaze around in awe, taking in the grandeur of the surroundings

"I cautioned Miss Gururani about her clumsiness as we entered, but she seemed impressed by the house nonetheless. Suddenly, we spotted a man on the staircase, which puzzled me because I was informed that Mrs. Singhania would be attending the meeting. Recognizing him as her son from business parties, Miss Divyanshi whispered, 'Sir, you said it's Mrs. Singhania.' I looked at her and replied, 'I don't know. I'm equally shocked.'"

The man approached us and explained, 'Hey, I know you're surprised. Actually, Mom had some urgent matters to attend to, so she asked me to represent her at this meeting. I'm Daksh Singhania.' He extended his hand towards me, and we shook hands as I introduced myself, 'I'm Saumil Singh Taragi, CEO of Taragi Enterprises.'

Daksh then turned to Miss Gururani for a handshake, but she seemed hesitant. Nervously, she began, 'I'm Divyanshi Guru...' Her voice trailed off as she glanced behind Daksh, and I followed her gaze to see a Great Dane looming over him.

Daksh turned to see his dog, Brownie, behind him, and chuckled, "Yes, that's Brownie." Miss Gururani repeated, "Brownie," and whispered to me, " sir yeh toh hame kha jayega brownie ki tarah "

("Sir, it looks like he might eat us, just like a brownie.")

As Brownie barked and leaped onto the couch towards Daksh, Miss Gururani panicked, letting out a loud scream. Instinctively, she pulled Daksh in front of her for protection. Concerned, I called out, "Miss Gururani!" Feeling a strange discomfort seeing them so close, I quickly intervened.
