Ayana's POV

I ran through the hallways, dodging people walking towards the auditorium. I skipped through the crowd to reach as fast as my legs could take my 5'5 figure. I was almost there when Mahi bumped into me.

I looked at her, she looked at me and we burst into laughter. Realising that we're both late we sped up to reach as soon as possible. We made it to the back stage entrance only for me to bump into a wall. I landed straight on my ass. Mahi pulled me back up and dusted my clothes, that's when I realized that I buloed into a muscular wall...wait muscular wall? I looked up to be met beautiful greenish grey eyes.

The atmosphere ignited with tension as their eyes met. His eyes put me in a trance. It felt as if I've met him before but I can't recall where and when. Mahi whisper yelled "We're already late Ayana apologize fast!". I snapped out of it and quickly said " I'm really sorry sir, I was in a hurry and did not see you...I apologize, I need to run sorry!" And ran after Mahi.

"We made it just in time for the seminar. Wheeew" Mahi said and high fived me.
We searched for the seats vacant at a considerable distance from the stage. Just then Mahi spotted two seats on the left hand side of the stage, in the 8th row.

"Bitchhhh the one you just bumped into was none other than Adarsh Rathore- He's the CEO of Rathore Empire and you just bumped straight into him!" Hearing her I gasped. "No wonder he looked similar- cause he IS him-" Mahi burst into fits of laughter "Way to go A, isn't he your dad's best friend's Son?" The realisation hit me.

"But I've never seen hi-" I was cut off by the announcement that Mr Rathore is starting the program. Me and Mahi looked at each other, silently deciding that we'll talk about it later, we payed attention to the 3h seminar about various business strategies. No, I'm not a business major, am in my 3rd year of medicine but managing finance on your own is a necessity in my opinion.

At home

I finally opened my room door and threw myself on my bed while Mahi sat on my study chair. "Am soooooo exhausted M, I had to wake up early cause of that seminar ughhhh" Mahi just giggled at me and said "You literally sleep more than a sloth A, c'mon we need to go shopping for the party at the Rathore Family Mansion". I shot out of my bed and said " Fuck I completely forgot about that-".

Mahi and I made our way downstairs in a hurry while she grabbed her keys. Just then my mom called out to me "Ayana! Mahi! Why are you both in a hurry?".

Stopping in our track me and Mahi turned around like deers caught in headlights, don't get me wrong, my mom is super sweet and the best mom I could ask for, she's 5'2 with beautiful green eyes with curly dark brown hair. She's a fashion designer, and the one thing she hates is an outfit being put together in the last moment and....let's just say I do that a lot.

"We forgot to pick up Ayana's Heels, we asked the designer to customise it on our way to university so we're gonna get it so Ayana can start getting ready mom". Oh how I love Mahi, she always manages to save my ass in these situations. And you must be wondering if Mahi is my sister, well close, she's my best friend since 3rd grade. We stay over at each other's house so much that we call each other's mom mom as well hehe.

"Ah of course, why do you always forget a piece of your outfit Ayana? Hurry up, we have 5h left!". We ran out through the  garage door panting. " Thank god she didn't notice, I swear one day you'll get us both killed A- come on, we can't waste time".

At the Mall

As soon as we got there we headed towards Queen's. It's none other than Mahi's Mom's brand, yup you guessed it right, our mother's are bffs and the most iconic duo in the fashion world. And of course, we as their daughters are besties too. We got there quick and started to pick out our outfits. While Mahi is a fast shopping girly, am the polar opposite, but with Mahi reminding me we're getting late? You bet you hurried.

I picked this black full length dress with a high slit and paired it with some nude heels.

Back home

Mahi and I got ready and before we know it, we were on our way to meet the handsome man I just bumped into.

As we entered the mansion with beautiful fountains decorating the entrance. The whole mansion was lit up, the atmosphere was cheerful.

I exit the car as my dad gave me his hand , we made our way inside and greeted Mr and Mrs Rathore

I exit the car as my dad gave me his hand , we made our way inside and greeted Mr and Mrs Rathore. Seeing the opportunity me and Mahi slipped out of the boring conversation of adults and made our way towards the bar. "Man I need a drink in my system to get through the night" Mahi exclaimed. I chuckled at her and said "Don't drink too much Mahi, I need you awake to get through this." "Oh please, we both know your way too nervous to meet Adarsh for the first time, here drink this" Mahi said and I blushed. "Don't jinx it Mahi!! I have no idea how to talk to him after not seeing him for nearly 12 years". "Oh you'll be jusssst fine A, c'mon the dance floor is calling us". We made our way to the dance floor to dance the night away.

45 minutes later and I was already tipsy, Mahi had lost herself to the music and so did I. Feeling a little overwhelmed, I made my way towards the restrooms only to bump into someone...again.
