Ruhanika: A Tale of Love

Dealing with Crisis

Her company:

Her cabin:

I went inside my cabin and asked Ritu to accompany me.

"Ritu, tell every designer and department head to come to the conference room in 10 minutes. We will start the meeting in 15 minutes." I told her and she immediately moved to do the work. That's what I loved about her. Before exiting she turned and I looked at her.

"Mam, there is something I have to tell you. Rajvansh & Co. is looking into our profile. I received a phone call this morning from their executive. They want to invest in our company. What should I do?" Ritu asked. I was surprised that the best company in the nation wanted to invest in our company.

"Ritu, right now we are not in a place to deal with them. Decline their offer respectfully and tell them that we are not looking for investments. We are not in a space where we would be able to reciprocate their offer. We have to do so much to reach there." I told her and she nodded and exited the room.

I prepared for the speech that I would give to my designers and motivated myself. I had to do this. We all have to work it out. We will do our best to tell the world that we can do anything. With that, I moved out of my cabin and towards the conference room.

I reached the conference room and saw the designers and department heads sitting on the chairs. They saw me and stood up to greet me. I gestured for them to sit down and greeted them back. I moved towards my chair and sat on it.

"Mam, what will we do now? We are over now. The launch date is in a week." One of the designers said and slowly-slowly each and everyone started voicing out their thoughts and worries. After a few seconds, the conference room looked like a fish market. All of them were talking at once.

"Silence," I said and everyone stopped talking. I stood up.

"Calm down everyone. We haven't lost anything right now but if you start panicking like this then we sure will. Now, everyone take a moment. Take deep breaths. Yes, just like that. Now, listen to me carefully. We all will make this work. We all will help everyone so that we can complete the work. Every department head, you have to lead your juniors to help the designers however they would require. We are all in this shit together and we all will help each other to overcome this. I will also help in designing the collection and also in sewing the clothes. We all will have to work like a collective team. There will be no other departments this time. Everyone will help and work like a unit. Starting from now, we all are going to work our ass off. After this week, I will provide a bonus for each and every one and a few day's leave as well. Just for this week, bear with me and help me to save this company. To save our company." I said and everyone looked at me with a straight face. And suddenly, everyone started clapping. They all stood up all cheered up.

"We all will do our best to save our company, mam. Let's go guys and start the work." One of them said and everyone started leaving cheered up and ready to work.

"You did great mam. It was amazing." Ritu said smiling. I looked at her and motioned her to come with me. As we reached my cabin.

"Ritu, I want you to do one thing for me. Call a cyber security expert and ask him to collect the evidence to expose this company who stole our designs. We will expose them to the success party of our collection. And one more thing leaked news that our designs have been stolen and it would be difficult for our company to launch the winter collection but do it anonymously. Not a single soul should know that we only leaked this news. It should come off as a surprise to us as well." I told her and she nodded.

"But mam. What would we get after demeaning our company?" Ritu asked.

"You will get to know soon," I said and she moved out of my office to do the work.

I started working on a few designs and thought to work with the designers only. We all started working together and I forgot to look at the clock. Suddenly, my phone rang and it was Kiaan Bhaiya.

"Doll, where are you? It is 6 pm already and Ruhan is almost here. It would take him around 15 minutes to reach. Come home already." Bhai said and I froze.

How would I be able to reach home within 15 minutes? My office is 30 minutes away from my house. I had to go now.

"I am coming bhai. If he asks for me tell him that I went to my friend's house and will be there in 10-15 minutes." I said and immediately cut the call.

"Guys I had to leave. It's an emergency. I will coordinate with you guys around 10 pm. Will you guys be, okay?" I said and they all told me to go and they will handle everything.

I hurriedly went outside the office and moved towards the parking. I always keep a car for emergencies. I drove towards my house in a hurry and reached in 30 minutes. I went inside my house and saw him sitting on the sofa with my brother. They were having a conversation.

He looked handsome when he was not grumpy. Well, who am I kidding? He always looks handsome. His eyes look more appealing without anger. He looks like a man from a fairy tale. Tall, handsome, perfect face, respectful towards elders, and caring towards his family. But one thing he doesn't have is someone who would look beyond his scars and sadness. He is gorgeous for me and I will make him believe that I will never hurt him.

What if he asked me where I went? What would I tell him? What if he got to know about my company? What will I tell him? What will he think of me? Will he kill me?
