DARK SOUL'S: The Story You Started

ONE YEAR BEFORE

I was a project head at the S. Software technologies with a team of twenty members. I know I could handle the pressure of being a project head. but this was my first time and this whole project was going under me and today, I am going to represent our new product in the whole market. I was as nervous as hell. I was in the auditorium with more than five hundred peoples which also included foreigner entrepreneurs dressed in suits seated exactly in front of me and waiting for me to come up with my words.
Ok..I can do this, I took deep breaths and I started.

" Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to announce that, our new product is ready to go to the market. It took almost three years to complete this project with lots of time and hard work.
I am genuinely sorry to my team members, I know I was certainly a bad boss. That is the reason I never want to be the one" laughter-filled into the hall.
We have taken this product with analyzing and demonstrating for two years after development,  Also we have taken a few tests of this software by taking permission of the government authority. We were facing some issues with coding and scanning problems but right now it’s the best thing we have ever had. Along with the GPS controller system. We studied all compliances to upgrade this product so, No need to whispering"
I know I was being rude here,  But that is me. I can't control that thing.
" So we have conducted several studies and testing, and here is our main project"  I explained all those things which were reflecting on the projector.
I didn’t even know how long I was explaining until I saw my boss, Mr. Siraj, there.  He was trying to stop me and I realized I was narrating for the past two hours continuously...Ohhh, God!
" I apologized.  It takes too long. Now I would like to invite our boss, Mr. Siraj, on the stage to cut the ribbon" I said apologetically.
Clapping and whispering started in the auditorium as he cut the ribbon.
My boss gave me an appreciative look and took the floor to finish whatever he has to say.
Later that night there was a party.  Where I didn’t want to go. I don’t belong to that place.  I never prefer parties. If it’s in my hands then I would never go there, but my boss is really being a pain in the ass.
So, Eventually, I have to go.  I don't know what theme they have on that crippy waste of time party thing.  So, I decided to wear plain, light, and simple Indian attire.  I know, maybe I will look out of place but I don't care. If it’s too much I will sneak out from that stupid party.
After reaching the destination I glanced around.  The view is pretty good. After all, it will be a billion dollars business.
When I got to the entrance, I was greeted by Mr. Nicole's. I heard he’s been looking for me since morning. But why?
" Hi, Ishita Mr. Nicole's from Nicole's Enterprises," He introduced himself.
" Hello, Sir nice to meet you," I greeted him, half amazed.
" Well, I have been thinking about hiring you, for my dream project based in New York. I know you are the one who could take it to the best place"
That thing caught me off guard. OK! 
I know he is a great businessman but offering at a party Really... Is he serious!!
" I really appreciate the offer Sir, but I already have a signed contract with my company so if you, please excuse me"
I’m suffocating in here and I have to get out from here as soon as possible, 
Before I can go anywhere, I saw Mr. Siraj coming over to my direction and eying Mr. Nicole’s. Oh, shit! I closed my eyes. NOW, I am in big trouble.
" Hi, Mr. Nicole's,  Ms. Ishita. I could smell something fishy in here" Mr. Siraj said looking at us suspiciously, Mr. Nicole's started laughing.
" Yeah very fishy you know, your employees are as tough as you. But Ishita seems tougher than anyone" Mr. Nicole's said.
"Oh! I know she is, Mr. Siraj said proudly, “by the way, did you convinced her for our new project," He continued and confusion has drawn all over my face.
"our project" Where the hell that came from? I was standing there like a statue, trying to wrap my head around. I thought Mr. Nicole was joking this whole time.
" I told her and she refused" Mr. Nicole's faked sad sound.
Damn! all these men’s and their irritating senses of humour.
Mr. Siraj looks down at me and smile... His smile doesn’t reach his eyes. He is always like my father figure Which I lost...
No! not now Ishita you can't go back there. I pinched myself to stop.
" You refused? Why? It’s a great opportunity for you, you know move somewhere in a new place, meet new people, and give your talented mind to someone for making money" Half-jokingly he said. I know he cared about me but Why does he want me to go from here?
I don't know what to say, I can't refuse him and now I know he is the part of this project. But It will be so out of the place for me. I have to be here, I am here waiting for something impossible to know. But I know it just my mind waiting for the thing which will never come back.
"I..I don't know you are in that project," I tried to have a word with him but failed miserably with my shaky voice.
" Ishita I was trying to tell you from the last week. But you were busy so I didn’t bother you, Yes! we have shares in this project and it’s enormous. This product will be flying all over, but again it depends upon you and your damn guidelines mind"
They both laughed and I couldn’t help with that.
