The Fall of the Evil

Chapter - 17

It is a day off for Shivani so she decided to buy some stuff and went to the mall. While she is shopping, a man in his black suit came near her and called her.

Man: Hello Ms. Shivani

On hearing her name she turned around and saw a man standing behind her. She looked at him with a confused face as she is not aware who that person is. So she asked,

Shivani: I am sorry. Do I know you?

Man: Well You don't know me. But I had to do a lot of work to find and reach you. But let me introduce myself to you. I am Akshay Mishra. I am sure you might have heard of my name.

Shivani: No! I have not heard.

The man was embarrassed by her reply but still spoke,

Man: That's alright. I am the CEO of Mishra group of Industries.

Shivani looked at him in realisation as she knows that Mishra group is huge and is a potential competition for MM group. But she didn't understand why he is trying to reach her.

Shivani: Hello! Mr. Akshay. May I know why you want to meet me.

Akshay: Well let me come to the point straight. I want you to work for me.

Shivani: Thank you for the offer! But I am currently working in MM group. And I am not seeking a job right now.

Akshay closed and opened in eyes in embarrassment again by listening to her and said,

Akshay: When I say I want you to work for me. I meant not in my company, but against MM group. I mean I want you to give me information related to the KU client. Our company can grab the project if Rudra fails to deliver. So, I want you to spill some information for me.

Saying he took out his cheque book and wrote something and gave her.

Akshay: Here is the cheque of 5cr. I can pay you more if you agree.

Shivani took the cheque into her hands making Akshay happy. But the very next moment she smirked and said,

Shivani: If the CEO of such a big company can come all by himself and give a mere employee a cheque of 5cr then I can understand how important this project is for you and how much effort you might have taken to meet me. But I would like to give you some advice. Instead of finding shortcuts like this, if you could have worked a little better the project would have been in your hands. But I can never go against my morals so I can't cheat my company and join hands with you.

Saying so she kept the cheque in his shirt pocket and walked away. Akshay is fuming in anger since his plan failed. But he smirked looking at the side where there is a man taking pictures of them.

Akshay MV: My plan has failed. But I can still corner you Ms. Shivani. I will still get the information from my men. But unfortunately you will take the blame. Rudra don't tolerate betrayal. So he will throw you out. I will deal with you then. No body denies Akshay Mishra. But you did. So you will face the consequences.

The other day,

Shivani reached office and started doing work as usual. Rudra was looking at her from his cabin. Though he feels he is being creepy to look at her. He could not resist watching her. He doesn't understand why he is feeling good around her. He feels like talking more to her but Shivani being Shivani doesn't speak anything other than work with him. That quality in her is what he likes and hates. While he was looking at her, he noticed that Shivani got a call.
