Though our team is doing a great job during the meeting, and the opposite party seems to be responding positively, I still have this ominous feeling, and it's exactly how I felt those days, the darkest days of my life. I have to get it together, I cannot afford to lose my sanity and do something unthinkable now when my company is at such a crucial stage.

However, this one person is making me think otherwise. From the moment I saw him, I knew he was bad news. He'd been staring at his right palm continuously with the creepiest smirk I had ever seen, the one that touched my wife's hand.

Who does he think he is? Staring like that. They should be chopped into pieces and fed to wild animals.

Our eyes made contact, he must have sensed my gaze on him. His face that he is taking with him everywhere.

"Mr Rudraksh, What have you decided?", Haru's manager, Mr Kim asked while fixing his spectacles. I observed him, an extremely calculative person.

"I will ask my PA to make a new contract including additional points and send it to you immediately," I replied.

Satisfied with my answer, Mr Kim smiled lightly before nodding and discussing something with their team. Since they have come to our company for the first time, I asked Devhuti Ma'am to give them the company tour.

We started with the recording studio, stepping into the spacious room where all the pieces of equipment were kept neatly ready to use, to produce a high quality we must have the best quality types of equipment, a great sound production facility and of course a talented artist, we also offered them to test any demonstration equipment and the reactions were positive, moving the hallways we marched towards the media production area where the audio-visual content is created or edited and then to the auditoriums where some artist were performing for their events, musicians practising with them.

This arena is open to every artist who wants to practice and gain confidence in their ability to show the world their talent.

After showing almost every department, we marched to our last destination. In this cinematography department, some tools like cameras, lenses, and other equipment were resting and the cinematography team was using some. All this time in the department, my eyes were roaming looking for someone. My wife, whom I found at the corner of the room, was fully concentrated on staring at the screen, headphones on her head, and furiously typing or clicking the mouse.

I smiled and moved forward, not wanting to disturb her. We returned to the meeting room, where Jai was waiting with the contract paper. After going through the contract paper, the deal was done.

Till the time Haru is staying in India, my company will collaborate with Anant's company. So they will also be participating in the production, shooting of the music video and promotional activities. I still don't know the exact reason behind this collaboration, it looks like Haru's company trusts Anant deeply.

Now that the contract has been signed, a sense of relief washes over me, but my heart's heaviness grows heavier with each passing second.

Exactly three days later, a party will be held, not only a welcome party for Haru but also an announcement of our collaboration and then the production will be started.

"So, ready to work together, huh?", Anant said emerging from nowhere. Even listening to him makes my ears bleed already.

"Of course, my heart is pounding with excitement," I said sarcastically and offered him a shake which he accepted.

Now, now, now, these were the hands that were touching, my wife, I should just crush him. I squeezed his hands with deliberate pressure, of course, he started to reciprocate but it didn't bother me much, I increased mine to see how much he could put up more. I just can't let him walk away after disrespecting my wife, can I? I wouldn't be a good husband then, my father taught me better.
