Love or Revenge

Chapter 15

Zoya asked, "What did he say?" Aditya asked, "First you tell me what that was? Why did you argue with my dad and then challenged him?" Zoya just then remembered that they have a challenge to win.

"Aditya, I don't know what you do but you have to win this challenge. My job is under risk and you have to convince that client and get the business. We can discuss about what your father said about Pooja abducting me and why I challenged your father later you succeeded in this", she said and started to pull him by shoulder toward the door.

"But Zoya what can I do?" He asked. Zoya stopped at her tracks and looked at him. "Let's call that client and fix an appointment", she said and took his phone from him. She gets the details from Aditya and called the clients office. "Good Afternoon, I would like to fix an appointment with Mr. Gupta, please" she said to the receptionist. She convinced the receptionist and squeezed in their appointment during his lunch time for 20 minutes.

"Aditya we have to hurry, we just have 20 minutes to convince the client", Zoya said and dragged him toward the lift. Aditya was looking at her and felt that he was kind of stuck in this situation because of her.

Once they were in the car, Aditya asked, "Seriously, this too much... Why do you have to challenge him like that? That client won't accept that easily, he is one hell of a nutcase... Do you really think you can convince him?"

"Aditya... I'm not going to convince him... You're going to convince him... I know you can do it... You have that potential... Don't underestimate yourself... Don't let you father get to you..." Zoya said. He shook his head in disbelief. They reached the clients office on time and both waited in the lobby to be called for the meeting.

Zoya whispered, "Just think that you can do it... I know you can do anything if you set your mind to it... All you have to do is set your mind to this meeting... And one more thing, for everyone there will be one weak point to agree to us... Just find that while talking to him and get the job done". Aditya looked at her startled and whispered back, "You're saying that as if you're good at planning and plotting against anyone".

Zoya looked at him and whispered, "Yes... I'm good at planning and plotting..." Aditya laughed at her remark and said, "And you're definitely good at humor too".

Just then, receptionist said, "Mr. Gupta will see you now". Zoya showed thumps up and mouthed, "All the best... You can do it"

After 20 minutes, Aditya came out and gestured her to come outside. Once they both were on the parking lot. Aditya said, "We did it... I convinced him and he said he'll talk to dad about the agreement signing... And he said that he wanted to do the business only with me... This will be my first project ever since I started working here". Zoya said, "I told you that you can do it... Just that you have to set your mind to it... Give me a High Five" she held her hand high and he gave high five to her.

"I can't believe... Actually I cracked this deal..." Aditya said with joy and he pulled Zoya into hug. "Thank you, Zoya for believing in me and for helping me to do this..." he said.

Zoya patted on his back and pulled away from him, then said, "I didn't do anything on this... I just gave the boost that you required..." Aditya realized what he did and said, "I'm sorry... I didn't realize... just hugged you out of the blue..."

She cleared her throat and said, "It's okay... I don't mind but just felt awkward because suddenly you hugged me..." Aditya mouthed, "I'm sorry" and get behind the steering wheel and Zoya took the passenger seat.

On the way back to their office, Aditya received a call from Mr. Gupta's office; he received it on the Bluetooth. "Mr. Aditya, Mr. Gupta wants to talk to you", the receptionist said and connected the call. "Hello Aditya, sorry to trouble you, I just spoke with your father. But he said, he don't want to do business with us", he said.
