"Good morning, sir. How're you doing today?"

"I'm great, Rohit. I hope you're doing well."

"Yes, I am."

"So, what's on our agenda today? Anything spontaneously important?"

"There aren't any important meetings today. Everything seems empty and smooth." He says while seeing his clipboard. "But there're a few unofficial things I have to mention."

"Okay, carry on."

"I've informed the CBI regarding your decision on Farzan's case. They said they will do as per your instructions."

"Very well."

"And the client we rejected is begging us to take back the project, sir."

"Huh?" I look at him. "What client?"

"The rude one? A week ago you told me to cancel the project due to his unprofessional behavior?"

"Oh!" I continue typing. I see too many of those clients so it's not a surprise I became confused for a second. "Just ignore him, Rohit. You don't even need to tell me this, you know I'm not gonna change my mind."

"Yes, sir. I thought you'd want to know."

"I don't even wanna waste my time on someone who stole money from me. Why would I waste it on him?" I smirk and he made a 'fair enough' face.

"Oh, by the way, the whole company has been talking about Karan and what he did. They're all fearing you, sir."

I'm sorry but I don't give two fucks. "Hmm, and?"

"I'm sure they won't do a thing like Karan did after seeing the repercussions."

"Sounds like good news to me."

"But they're all starting to get curious about Suzy. I hope the digging on Suzy George is going good, sir."

"It's not so bad, I found a couple of things I should know but I'm not done."

"Is she a threat?"

"Maybe."

"Wait, what? So, what're you gonna do, sir?"

"I'll have to complete my digging then I'll make a decision. I'm too busy and exhausted." I sigh and he smiles. "Anything else?"

"There's one more. A very crucial one."

"What is it?"

"His Majesty Yahaswant Oudh of Uttar Pradesh has recognized your work and wants to have a casual meeting with you, sir."

Holy fuck, my heart skipped a beat hearing the name. I can't believe I would be hearing that name on a usual Tuesday morning in my cabin like it's nothing.
