Sometimes some fairy tales are nothing but wishful thinking...maybe the Prince Charming is actually Prince Cunning , or the Sleeping Beauty isn't willing to wait for a hundred years for him...
As far as Mira is concerned , marriage and love is bette...
" I would like to meet , Mr Viyaan Malhotra ." I tell the receptionist .
Malhotra and Co building was extravagantly made , it was a huge structure of glass and metal , standing out from all the other buildings in that area. Even the interiors were tasteful and rich , and since I could come only in the lunch hour , the lobby was devoid of any people.
The receptionist looks up indifferently and types something on the computer. I patiently wait , observing some of the lobby decor. This place is nicely designed. Compared to this our company's simple style is a bit bland.

Maybe I should convince Dad to get a renovation....
" You're still here?" the receptionists drawls , giving me an irritated eye.
What the hell...?
" I said , " I cleared my throat , " That I want to meet him."
" Do you have an appointment?" she pointed out. The smoldering glare she gave me reminded me of Pia's reaction when she saw a cockroach. ( Before she smacked it with her sandal , that is)
Frowning , I stand up a bit straighter , " Call him now and tell him that Mira Behl from Behl and Co is here."
She seemed to be deciding against it , but I slapped my hand on her table and sneered , " Now."
Her hand flung out to a telecom and she asks , nervously , " And whom you might be to him..?"
" His fiance." I mumbled.
The receptionist paled and hurriedly dials a number without looking at me. After a moment or two , she says , " Hello sir."
Her voice is meeker than it was before. I could almost hear Viyaan's irritated , what is it?
" Sir , your fiance is here at the lobby....yes sir ....OK."
She kept the intercom , and pursing her lips , looked up at me.
" This way , Ma'am."
From the lobby , she directed me to an elevator , and herself pressed the floor button. I slightly exhale and ready myself for the battle.
You can do this Mira!!
Some part of me wasn't so sure, What if I mess it up?
Then the worst that can happen is the very result you want!! Remember?!
I stared at myself at the reflective walls of the elevator. I can do this! I'll show Viyaan whose the boss!!
Just when I was doing my fist into the air gesture , the elevator opened. Luckily , there was no one on this floor. In fact , to be precise , there was nothing here. Just a few plain walls with artistic paintings , all lined up one after another. I look around dubiously , until I find a set of oak double doors.
