Signing the first deal of the day with a world famous modelling agency is really hectic. So many formalities and too much professionalism.

Mrs. Yumi Suzume, Japan's top most modeling agency owner and a model herself, decided to sign a deal with our company. I wanted this deal because this deal will help me spreading my business more in Japan.

It's a million dollar deal and I can't afford any mistakes. I myself own a multinational company and I can't rish with my reputation.

I let my head fall back on the backrest of my chair.
Holding up my right hand wrist, I took a note of the time: 12:25. It's past noon.

I closed my eyes for a while when a knock interrupted my break. I cursed under my breaths before allowing whoever it is.

Ryle entered with a device in her hand. It's my phone.

"Ma'am you had left it in the meeting room. You had got a call from Mr. Rai Mehrotra's secretary. I apologise for having a look at it but I wanted to inform you" she spoke after placing it on the desk.

I nodded as she left.

Picking it up I read the notification of a missed call. He'll call back if it's important since I ain't calling back.
Yes I'm self-centred and I like it.

Keeping it back on the desk I again closed my eyes when it rang. Gosh! Why the hell people have such a bad timing? Everything related to him has been anything but good to me.

Picking it up I received the call, "Yes, Anika speaking".

"Good afternoon Ms. Roy Chowdhury. I'm Mr. Rai Mehrotra's secretary, Youngjae Kim"

"Afternoon Mr. Kim. May I know why you called?" I spoke sitting straight.

"Ma'am, Mr. Rai Mehrotra has requested you to be ready by 5 in the evening for a date. He'll pick you up from your mansion" he replied.

Why the hell is this man so after me? I had asked him to stay away from me till our marriage which is going to happen after twenty days and then he'll annoy me anyways.

"Tell him I'm busy" I replied and even before I hung up he spoke, "Ma'am he has asked you to be ready or he'll get you ready by himself".

I know I'm stubborn but he's way more stubborn. He's annoying but the way he's so dominant gives me a weird sensation in my tummy.

I sighed, "Fine. Tell him to be on time" I replied and hung up.

Asshole.

Closing my eyes, I massaged my temples heaving out an exasperated sigh.

Firstly, my plan of cancelling this marriage turned out to be failed, secondly, dadi is so happy that I couldn't deny to her, thirdly, his mother is so excited about her elder son's marriage that she keeps on calling me to talk about my preferences in dresses, jewelries and what not. She has been sending me gifts too.
This makes me miss my mother. When I was in hostel while studying in Harvard University, she used to send me so many handmade gifts and my favourite foods made by her.
