Arz kiya hai,

Fairy lights ka kaam jahan, wahan kyun le jayein chamakti Chaandi,

"Is he here already?" This was the first question anika asked Kanika as she entered the office building with Ranvijay. Kanika chuckled and shook her head.

"There are still 30 minutes left until your favourite client arrives, Ani darling." She winked and wrapped her right arm around Anika's shoulder as they started walking towards the conference room.

There were only 5 people in the conference room, Bhargava, Viren, Kanika, Ranvijay and anika. Bhargava sat on the right most chair facing anika who sat on the left side of the centre chair with Kanika beside her facing Ranvijay and viren.

Bhargava and anika has one file each infront of them and Anika's eyes were currently fixed on the data that file contained. The basic information about Karthik Malhotra, if anika is going to be his personal lawyer then she needs to know about his professional and personal life in order to make statements on his behalf in future. Like they say, the people to whom you shouldn't lie in any condition are yout lawyer and you doctor, because these are the people who are going to save your life when the situation arrives.

Though, the file didn't had much information about him, keeping their client's privacy in mind bhargava make sure only their personal lawyers know about them. Not the whole firm. Holding a pen between her index finger and thumb Anika watched the door of the conference room open.

Dressed in a pathani kurti and salwar paired with a pearl white jacket, Black shining shoes, Karthik Malhotra entered the room. He filled the room with the fragrance of his presence.

For a minute it was hard to look away from him, but tearing her piercing gaze from him Anika looked ahead of her.

"Mr. Malhotra." Karthik nodded towards bhargava before taking a seat on the chair at the centre most end of the table. His gaze went to Ranvijay who was looking at him with a bored expression. Karthik too without giving any reaction to it looked at anika.

"Ms. Rathore." Taking a Deep breath anika pulled up the best smile she could and looked at him.

"Mr. Malhotra, nice to meet you again."
"I hope you will agree to be my lawyer and give me a chance to repeat this sentence too." 'see! I don't like him for a reason, and this is the reason!'

"I have already agreed to be your lawyer Mr. Malhotra. And, I was abo-
"You got nice decision making skills I must say."

"Mr. Mal-
"Ms. Rathore was about to arrange a meeting with you, Mantri ji."

"Ms. Rathore has got a mouth that works perfectly fine, Mr. Aggarwal. How about you let her tell me that? I would like to have a meeting with my lawyer now, You may leave. And.." Karthik trailed his eyes over the other members present in the room. "Take all of them with you as well."
