Manik's pov

People love Fridays' but I hate them, I always have, Fridays' are the worst and the busiest in the company. We have at least 5 to 6 meetings back to back on Fridays along with a crap ton of paperwork.

I personally don't really like paperwork but it's my peace so I can sit in my cabin and not talk at all, I mean after that many meetings I do not like being around people

"Manik"

"Yes arun" I answer my assistant

"God, you look like shit" he comments walking in the cabin

Did I forget to mention, he is also my friend, the only other friend I have other then cabir and navya

"Don't use the friendship card right now, I am your boss"

"As if you'd fire me"

"You are fired" I mumble looking back in the stupid file

"Hahaha nice, what is she up to now?" He asks

"Who?"

"Your long lost love"

"Arun don't" I mumble

"Come on man, you are head over heels over this girl, go after her"

"She and I are nothing and it sure as hell isn't your business. What's the update on the last meeting?"

"Went fine, they should be writing an offer"

I didn't have the chance to reply because my phone rings displaying a number from India, I went blank for a second because I recognize the number

"Answer it or silence it jeez man, it has been ringing for 5 minutes straight" Arun's voice makes me realize I froze seeing the number

"Hello" I whisper with a shaky voice

"Is this Manik Malhotra"

"Yes"

"We have Nandini Murthy here, she was in a accident this evening and we have you as an emergency contact for her"

I couldn't hear anything else, my ears were ringing, my heart was pouting out of my chest

"Hello, sir, hello"

"Yeah is she okay?" Arun begins to talk

"she is in a very critical situation, not sure if we will be able to save her"

"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU DO BUT NOTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HER"I. scream on the phone

"Sir I understand but we are trying our best, we jsut need your signature"

"I WILL SIGN IT, I NEED HER ALIVE, I MEAN IT" I scream

"The jet is ready, go" arun says

I don't think twice before I rush upstairs to the helipad

"We need your signature to start her operation sir"

"GIVE HER ALL THE CARE SHE NEEDS"

"we can't, not without your signature" she argues

"IF I GET THERE AND YOU HAVEN'T STARTED HER TREATMENT I WILL FUCKING SUE YOU GUYS AND I PROMSIE TO BURN THE WHOLE FUCKIGN HOSPITAL DOWN" I yell at her

'Is-sir"

"I FUCKING MEAN IT, BILL WHATEVER TO MALHOTRA DHAWAN INDUSTRIES AND START HER TREATMENT NOW"

I cut the call and dial the hospital's cheif's umber who is technically Nandini's boss because she works there
