 The sound arrived from speaker

ROOH -" I think you all don't need salary for 6 month."

Heard this sentence, everyone run towards their desk...

_______________

Miss Rooh's elegantly designed cabin . The room exudes professionalism with minimalist decor and large windows. Ms. Rooh is seated behind her desk, working on her laptop.

POV-ROOH:


-"It was afternoon time , and since I had yelled at them ,scolded them , everyone was doing their work peacefully and with perfection."

"I am busy in reviewing document at my desk."

Amit and sara are discussing something and knocked by cabin's door ;

"Come in ", i said ( still focusing on screen)

SARA : (Walking in and standing in front of my the desk) .She is holding the tablet and some files.

AMIT: (nervously clearing his throat) "Boss, do you have a moment? I'd like to give you an update on tomorrow's big event. "

"Go ahead", i said (without looking up)

AMIT: (nodding) "Boss, The party is set for tomorrow evening. The venue is completely decorated, and the setup is almost finished. The floral arrangements are in place, and the lighting crew is doing the final adjustments as we speak."

"What about the caterers"? , i asked ( in cold tone)

AMIT: (quickly checking his notes) "The catering team has confirmed everything. The menu has been finalized, and they've already begun prepping the dishes. We did a tasting session yesterday, and the client Mr.Sheety was very pleased with the quality."

"And the entertainment? Are they ready? I don't want any surprises at last moment ," I  said (leaning back in her chair)

AMIT: (assuredly) "The performers have confirmed their arrival time. They'll be doing a sound check tomorrow morning. We've also arranged a green room for them, so they'll have everything they need on-site."

"It sound like today 's session is worked on you, i dont need any mistake from tommorow 's event .. if i heard any mistake......, "i said(with a warning gaze ) i paused for a second .

"you can leave now" , i said with demanding voice ....

Before they can leave ,

Suddenly, there's a quick, urgent knock on the door. The knock is followed by the door opening just enough for Meena, to slip inside. Her face is flushed, and she's slightly out of breath, clearly in a hurry.

MEENA (breathlessly): "Boss, sorry to interrupt, but Mr.Shetty has just arrived. He is  waiting in the conference ."

ROOH'S expression cold and commanding and three them is worried. The atmosphere in the room is tense, as if the very air bends to her will.

Mrs. Rooh doesn't look up from her papers, her fingers tapping slowly on the desk. The pause is heavy, almost suffocating.

ROOH - (in cold voice ):"you don't know , i don't like interruptions at all'

Three of them swallows hard
,

MEENA (quickly, trying to recover): "I—I'm sorry, Boss, but they insist me to see you immediately. He is waiting in the conference room."

SARA (immediately):"Boss, Mr. Shetty has insisted me many times that you should also come to this event which is happening tomorrow. But I but I...."
