CHAPTER - 8 Encounter at the Site

### Sofia's POV

Sofia sat in her cozy living room, poring over her notes and plans for the day. She was excited about visiting the construction site of AN Enterprises' latest project. The demolition had already begun, and she was eager to see the progress and start planning the next phase.

As she sipped her coffee, her phone buzzed with a call from her best friend, Tunisha.

"Hey, Sofia! How's it going with that big project you were so excited about?" Tunisha's cheerful voice came through the line.

"It's going well. I'm heading to the site today to check out the initial progress," Sofia replied, smiling. "It's a huge opportunity for me."

"That's amazing! But remember, you need to be careful around these big-shot clients. Alright?

Sofia laughed, brushing off the comment. "Don't worry, Tunisha. I've got this under control. This project is going to be a game-changer for me."

They chatted for a while longer before Sofia hung up and got ready to leave. She grabbed her bag, filled with blueprints and measuring tools, and headed out the door, determined to make a great impression at the site.

### Abhishek's POV

Abhishek sat in the small office of his other house, his mind focused on the myriad business calls he needed to make. Despite the recent chaos, work had to go on. He was deep in discussion with one of his key partners when Sid, his younger brother, strolled in.

"Hey, Bhai, how's it going?" Sid asked, plopping down on the couch.

Abhishek gestured for him to wait a moment as he wrapped up his call. "Yes, finalize that deal and get back to me. Thanks." He hung up and turned to Sid. "What's up?"

"Just wanted to see how you were holding up. You know, with the house and everything," Sid said, concern evident in his voice.

Abhishek sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's been a mess, but we're getting there. By the way, I need to check the old house for any clues about the attack. Sumedh called and suggested we take another look."

Sid nodded. "Sounds like a plan. Need any help?"

"Nah, I got this. Thanks, though," Abhishek replied, standing up and stretching. "I'll head over there now." he patted his head on the way out.

He grabbed his keys and headed to the garage, sliding into his Bugatti. The powerful engine roared to life as he made his way to the old house, his mind a mix of business strategies and lingering questions about the attack.

### The Construction Site

### Sofia's POV

Sofia made her way through the debris, her eyes scanning the site with a critical gaze. The old house was being torn down to make way for the new structure. She took out her notepad and began jotting down notes—measurements, observations, and initial design ideas.

Amidst the noise and activity, Sofia's concentration was broken by the unmistakable sound of a high-performance sports car pulling up. She glanced over and froze as she saw Abhishek stepping out of the sleek Bugatti. His presence was commanding, his demeanor exuding authority and intensity.

Abhishek's eyes scanned the site before landing on Sofia. His surprise was evident as he strode over to her with purposeful steps. "What are you doing here?" he demanded, his tone sharp.

Sofia squared her shoulders, meeting his gaze evenly. "I'm here to review the site and oversee the progress. It's part of the project, Mr. Nigam."

Abhishek's expression darkened. "Oh, right. The project." His voice dripped with sarcasm. "I suppose you're here to make sure everything is up to your standards?"
