Authors POV
"Who the hell dares to disturb my sleep" Rubbing her eyes she snapped at the person who had interrupted her precious sleep.
"I.I'm sorry ma'am it's me ji..jinal" she said while stuttering. She rolls her eyes she hates it when people stutter.
"God Jinal, now tell me why you called and it must be significant, or you're fired " she said firmly. She must have had a good reason for calling because no one dared to disturb Tara Alam Sultan.
"Ma'am Mr Khanna wants to meet you" Now she understands why she was called in so urgently.
Ughh!! Is Khanna ka kuch karna parega.
"Fine, I'll be there in 30 minutes, set up my meeting with him. I'll deal with this headache" She hung up the call and went to the bathroom. After that, she stood in front of her closet and chose a brown sweater, matching dress pants, and a long coat. She doesn't usually wear makeup just red lipstick as she loves red because it symbolizes blood. Don't get her wrong she's not a serial killer type it's just...not so soon you will know.
As she confidently walks into her office building and reaches her floor everyone stands in fear. She seems to enjoy the effect she has on them
"Tell me everything, Jinal, I'm not here to waste time" she says as she takes off her coat and sits down on her chair.
"Mam he wants to meet you in some cafe," she said nervously.
"Tell him to meet me in my cabin in the next 20 minutes, or there will be consequences" she said sternly, Jinal felt a lump in her throat as she looked into her boss's angry eyes.
"O..Okay Mam"
Tara shut her eyes in frustration.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Jinal don't stutter in front of me" she said, clenching her fists, and banging the table in anger.
Jinal flinched and couldn't muster the courage to look at the person in front of her. She muttered a quick apology and left the room.
Taking a deep breath. Tara acknowledges that she struggles with controlling her anger. She realizes that directing her frustration at the wrong person only intensifies her feelings of anger.

"So Miss Tara, can you tell me more about yourself, other than being a CEO and what you do in your free time," he asked with a creepy smile, his eyes filled with lust.
"We're here to finalize the deal, Mr. Khanna. As for my free time I would say that don't poke your nose in my personal life, I prefer to keep my personal life private, let's stay professional," she said in a serious tone, trying to control her anger. She clenched her fists under the table, maintaining her professional demeanor. She controlled herself not to smash his face.
"Look Tara__"
"It's Miss Sultan for you," she interrupted.
"Oh common sweetheart I have a great offer for you. If you want this deal, you have to spend one night with me, then I will consider signing with you" he said smirking. Tara narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
How dare he? Tujhe to main batati hun khanna.
"Mr. Khanna you have 10 seconds to leave, but if you don't, then I can't guarantee your safety" she said dangerously with a frown. Mr Khanna gulped looking at her. Her eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion as she spoke.
"I. I'm sorry" he stammered, wiping the sweat off his forehead before standing up and walking out.
Tara sighed as she watched him leave.
"Coward" she muttered under her breath.
Tara felt a headache coming on when her phone started vibrating on the table. she picked it up and saw it was Jinal calling.
"Yes, Jinal?"
"Ma'am Mr Khanna has canceled the deal. What should we do now?" She said in a worry.
"So what, uske ek deal cancel krne se mera business doob nahi jayega ya mein sarak par nahi ajaongi." She said closing her eyes and rubbing her forehead, her headache was getting worse every day.
(So what, if one deal falls through? It won't sink my business or put me on the streets)
Ugh, this headache is getting unbearable. I should see a doctor before it gets even worse.
She was leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed when her phone buzzed. Without looking, she picked it up.
"Who is this?" Tara asked, still with her eyes closed.
"What? Okay, I'm coming"she said as she opened her eyes and sat up straight.
