Maya's POV:-
" No no no. I will not work with that man." I said sternly.
" But why." My manager asked confused.
I looked at Andrew and said. " Because he is crazy."
" Huh....?" He is still confused! Urghh...
" Yes he is mad and I will not have any association with him even if he is Alexander the great."
" But it will be very reputable for our firm. He is Asia's one of the most influential people. Tying up with his company will be very beneficial for our overseas image." Oh god my manager is very persuasive! And that's his greatest power because of which our firm is running this great and not to mention popular too but still he can be annoying some times.
" Whatever! We have other overseas project too. We will counter it with them. But just not this. You don't know what he makes me feel.." I stopped sensing what I just had said. Great! Now they might think that I am crushing on him. Urghh!
" But why did he called you Astha?" Andrew asked ignoring my previous comment. Thank god. But his question too had a point.
" How will I know Andrew? I met him for the first time like you. He is as much a stranger to me as he is for you." I rolled my eyes.
" Wait where from do this Astha came?" Elon asked. Yeah that's the name of my manager cum friend cum my team member.
" He addressed her by that name." Andrew said still looking at me skeptically.
" Maybe he lost someone who looks like Maya and he thinks that she is her." Elon said thoughtfully.
" Whatever is the reason, the fact is I am not working with him. He kinds of get in my nerves and the way he looks at me, that gives me the creep."
" Who is giving my dear best friend the creeps?" Stella barged in looking hyperactive as always.
" A billionaire handsome man from India." Elon said dreamily.
" And you have your eyes on him, right." Stella asked Elon teasingly.
" I can't say that's not the case. Nor it will be hard for me to get him. My looks will make him fall and beg for me." Elon said confidently pushing some imaginary hair from his shoulder. And we laughed at that. He surely makes every sulking sole cry from laughing too hard.
" Really? I thought it was you who asked and begged for your current boyfriend's attention." Stella commented.
" You know nothing." Elon said showing his tongue to her. These two never gets along. I shook my head.
" Besides we are talking about a new project here which Maya is refusing. And let me tell you that this project can be our opportunity to set our name in India too." Elon said going all professional again.
" She may have some valid reasons for this." At this I smiled at her since she always has my back.
" But those reasons are totally absurd. Apparently they had some misunderstanding on their first meet and now Maya is making that as an excuse to screw up this perfect opportunity." Elon shook his head.
" Hey.. that's not absurd okay." I cried. " Let me ask you then. How would you feel when suddenly some stranger grabs your hand and starts claiming closeness with you. Not just that he also declared that he was my fiancé! Like for real and I don't even knew that he existed untill then. It's freaking guys. Can't you see it?" I tried to put some sense in them.
" Okay, okay relax." Stella said. " As I hear it now, I can see that there is definitely some confusion here."
" Hey..I thought of all you understand me!" I protested.
" Chill..I am thinking and doing some guess work here for our own good." She silenced me by motioning with her hand and continued. " I think that maybe he mistook you for his fianceé or otherwise why such an important and not to mention extremely rich... not that you are any less but still such a person will do such things with you. He doesn't seem like a loose character." Stella said still thinking.
" Like I said before. You are just repeating my words smarty!" Elon rolled his eyes and this was Stella's turn to show her tongue to him. I looked at Alex for some clarification on my part but that man was standing as silent as a statue. What is his problem? Can't he help me a little bit in making them understand that we are dealing with some crazy things here?
" Try to think clearly what I said Maya. Then you could see the sense there." Stella said softly like she was talking to a child who was adamant to have two chocolates at once.
But nevertheless I did like that, the reason.. simple..I always listen to her. And now when I am thinking about the whole thing, I do see their point. Maybe I was reacting a bit too much on it. And our firm too need this exposure. I sighed.
" Okay okay if I agree then I will have my own clauses that he has to agree. Tell him that and if he agrees then I will have no problem." I said and immediately their face lightened up except for Andrew. And I know why. I have my fair share of encounters with these situations.
Abhay's POV :-
" Did she agreed?" I enquired.
" Yes sir, she did." I grinned. " They will reach the destination at the set date. But.." I frowned. Now what?
" She has some clauses for you. They said that if you agree on them, then only they will proceed further."
" Go on." I commanded.
" She doesn't want anyone from our company to intervene and certainly disturb her or her crew when they are shooting and also for their stay here unless it is very important."
My anger boiled at this. What does she think of herself? Like our reputation and status is nothing for her. We are proposing to tie up with her and not have agreed to be treated like some slumdogs! And what's with all these bullshit? How will I proceed on with my plan if I agree to this? I rubbed my stubble in frustration. I took a deep breath. I need to calm myself down. I can't behave like this. For the starter it was my fault that we are in this situation now. I need to think something else. I need a plan B now. And then... I smiled. My short momentary dismay again replaced with a triumphant smirk.
No matter how much you avoid me Astha. In the end you will be mine again and this time it will be forever. I grinned. This time I will never give you a chance to refuse me. I changed because of you and my this change will not go in vain. I promised you that change but I never promised you that I will be okay if you drift away from me.
" Tell them that we agree." I said and went out. I need a lot of things to do before their arrival.

Storie d'amore..... " Can I sit with you?" What? Clearly this is not what I was expecting. I looked at the tables surrounding us. There are many for him to sit. Why here? Then again I don't know how criminal minds work. " Someone is with me." I motioned towards A...
