I was focused on the presentation being given by my secretary until my phone vibrated.
Taking it out from my pant pocket, I saw a notification;
Mr. Rai Mehrotra:
Be ready by 6. I'll pick you up from your mansion.
I frowned. Where is he taking me?
I sighed internally. It's been three days since I met him last time. It was because—
"I'm preponing the marriage. It'll be held after the coming ten days", he said.
He wanted this marriage to happen as soon as possible because according to him, it's too much time consuming to have the marriage after twenty days which is nothing but contract-based.
So there was just one week left for my marriage.
I'd been too stressed because I was constantly getting calls from mami and dadi to get back to India. They're just so excited and wanted me to take a leave of atleast twenty days.
The pre-wedding functions will start from day after tomorrow and I'm heading back to India tonight.
I had talked about the leave-thing with Arnav and he agreed since he was in the same condition.
But the thing is that, I can't look straight into his eyes anymore. Every time I did, I remembered Dhruv's eyes which used to shine upon seeing me. Their facial features matched a lot, and the guilt was still there. I really felt so weak and powerless in front of him just because of my one deed in the past.
I lowered my head and sighed.
"Ms. Roy Chowdhury, are you satisfied with the presentation?", I heard someone calling me out.
I looked up and saw everyone was looking at me especially Mr. Breyan Werner who called me out and are waiting for my words.
I nodded and spoke, "I'm very pleased at Ms. Ryle's presentation. She did it on her own all alone since I was a bit busy in the past few days and couldn't have a look at it. So I appreciate it. But also, it doesn't depend on me entirely. I'd like to hear Mr. Werner's opinion too".

6:05 p.m.
I was wearing a deep-cut maroon quarter sleeve blouse which had flower designs made of rose-gold thread with a light amethyst saree which shined in golden upon light's reflection falling on it. A simple pair of golden studs and two pairs of bangles along with a thin gold chain is what my jewelry consisted of. My hair was half tied up, just for a simple look.
I had called him after the meeting and got to know that we were meeting his parents who are here in Paris. He said they wanted to have dinner together with their soon-to-be daughter in law.
