Biting down at her bottom lip, Annika took some deep breaths in. It was nothing to be afraid or nervous of, she was just about to go inside and take an interview with Sammer Khurana and with sweaty palms, she rubbed them against the denim knee length skirt she wore. What she couldn't understand was that, what made her so nervous, was it because he was a really big billionaire or was it because she was out of practise? The second one did not seem to appeal to her at all.

With her feet taping on the floor every second, she inhaled and exhaled, trying to bring her heart beat down. She had taken the interview of Shivaay Singh Oberoi, this was absolutely nothing in front of it. A small task that she had to complete and she had it in herself, it was a normal thing in her job. Annika was trained to do this and now, she was edgy about this whole interview.

Crushing Mrs Rai's image of herself was not her plan, she never wanted to make an inch of mistake in whatever she did. With an impatient look on her face, she gazed at her watch to find it was almost time. They would be calling her inside anytime soon. It was like she was getting to know her exam results and was about to come out any second.

And when her name was called after a whole one minute, Annika closed her eyes tightly. She could do it, she always did, this was not a hard task, it wasn't. Convincing herself for the whole half minute, she grabbed her bag and recorded off the bench she was sitting next to. With steady pace, she reached to the door, the translucent glass door staring back at her. She knocked at the door and the response was really fast.

Sammer Khurana wasn't sitting there alone, Annika was sure about that when she heard the voices coming from inside. Annika opened the door as she gulped down hard, she could not mess it. Her eyes immediately landed at the scene in front of her, Sammer Khurana sitting on his chair while another male facing his back towards her and leaning against the table, near Sammer.

They both seemed to be talking about something serious and Annika stood at her spot, not daring to utter a word. She weirdly could hear the similar voice of him, was she going crazy? She shook her head, it was just her imagination, how could he be here? Annika then heard the guy in the armani suit chuckle a bit and it struck her, it was really him. She wasn't imagining it.

"Oh, Oberoi, I totally forgot I had an interview to attend" Annika bit her bottom lip hard when she heard Samner say those words. God, she couldn't help but shift her gaze downward as she felt him turn around. She couldn't even talk to him properly today morning, she was in a real rush. If she would have known Shivaay was going to be here too, she would have never agreed to take an interview because it would have been really evident that the two were dating.

"Annika Mehra right? Oberoi, please wait for some time, sit down on the couch there, why don't you?" Sammer was up on his feet and pointed towards the couch in the corner of the room. Annika didn't dare to look, almost sure that his deep blue eyes were already fixed at her. And for some split of seconds, she considered looking up at him but she did not.
