UK

Mayukh POV:

Getting ready in my suit, I made my way downstairs. It's been a week since the Metha deal and today is the success party. Everyone in the Dubai office is invited, along with our supporting investors and clients. Armaan and I reached the venue in time and made sure all guests were welcome.

"Armaan. Is Dad online?"
"Yes, Uncle and the other boards are ready. Once the event starts, we'll call."
"Great. Metha is coming. Let's go."

We welcomed Mr Metha and made our way to the hall. In the hall, we had a whole speech ready, once in, Armaan called Dad and soon he gave his speech regarding the company's success. We then had drinks and completed the party. Soon, Mr Metha pulled me to the side.

"Son, this was an amazing party. We wish to repay you for this."
"No Sir, there is absolutely no need. You may be our new partner in client, but you are still older to me by age and there is no need for you to do anything in return."
"Mayukh, Come on. Your professionalism is the spark we speak about for the whole of last year. You must give us a chance. We are launching our office in London and we would love for you to come where we can officially announce our deal there as well. I believe your brother works as the UK head, it'll be a great reunion as well!"
"Of course, I'll be there."
"Excellent. It's next week. I will have my team contact you regarding your flight and stay."
"Oh Please, Don't worry about that."
"You are our guests in London, we won't spare any details in your hospitality." Metha Sir patted my shoulders, "See you there son."
"Of course, Thank you." I said and he walked off.

"Looks like we are going to London." I said, as I took a sip of my drink once the party ended.
"London?" Armaan asked, making himself comfortable next to me after making sure the whole venue is empty.
"Yep. Mr Metha invited us for his product launch, and our deal announcement."
"When?"
"Next week?"
"Damn. That's fun. Come on, let's go home, crash at my place today."
"Can't bro. Bruno is alone."
"Where is Reema Aunty?"
"She's in India, her family needs her."
"Never mind. Got it."
"Let's go."

Nikita POV:

"What product launch? Your company?"
"Yep. We are launching our first product in a new sector and you have to come. You don't have a choice."
"Come on, what will I do there?"
"You're interning with their most trusted companies. Do you wish to get into IBM properly or not?"
"Of course I do."
"Okay then come. Talk to the IBM owner there, it's very rare that you are able to come. I am leading the launch so I am able to bring a guest, otherwise it is difficult to enter."
"You're right. I should make most of it. I'll inform my manager."
"Good."
"When is this launch?"
"In 3 days. We are getting ready now. Let's go shopping and pick clothes up."
I chuckled, "Okay!"

Within an hour, we were in the car, on the way to London's most famous mall. We selected a few dresses and tried them on to see which would look the best out of them. I finally brought a black skin tight dress that ended just above my knees. It had a modest back, and had a strap over the shoulder for both shoulders. Esha too, selected a similar dress.

The next day, I was at work when I got informed that I have been invited to the launch officially due to my record as an intern. My job seemed secure. I chuckled and made my way to the HR manager.

"Good Morning Ma'am"
"Nikita! Congrats on your invite. You'll be meeting the IBM head there and you'll get a chance to have a one-on-one with him for a while. I'll be with you so you need not worry. Just come to the venue by 8pm."
"Thank you. I'll be coming with my friend who is leading the launch, so I will meet you there."
"Wonderful. Remember, there are quite a few companies coming, many are from outside UK; it will be a great chance for you to spark your interest and see which company you'd like to confirm."
"I want to confirm IBM Ma'am, but I appreciate your concern for me, truly."
"You are one of our most promising interns and future employees. I have already recommended your name and with the way it's going, you are in. You just need to choose which city you'd like to work in."

I chuckled. Sophia, my manager, has always been a delight. She took me in as her child and she trained me through these 10 months. Our relationship went beyond just professional. There have been many times she has dropped me home and we have had a cup of coffee together. She has been a huge rock support.

I got home. The next two days went busy in work and tomorrow it was time for the event.
