 I entered the building and went straight towards the lift, as I knew the way to the conference room.

I knocked on the door and walked in.

I saw Mr. Joshi talking with a group of men, and on the other side, Agastya was talking to a girl.

As soon as he saw me, he said something to the girl and started walking towards me.

I don't know why, but I felt shy and nervous.

He was in front of me in no time.

"Hii, honey," he said, greeting me.

I glared at him and took a quick look around to see if anyone had heard him. Luckily, no one did.

"Are you mad or what? Someone could've heard you. And I am here as your lawyer. Be all formal with me," I said.

"Ohh, is that so, Miss Shah?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Yes, Mr. Joshi," I replied back.

"Hello, Aahana. How are you, child? It's good to see you back," Mr. Joshi said, extending his hand.

I shook his hand firmly.

"It's good to be back," I said with a smile.

"Anyways, let's commence the meeting now," Mr. Joshi declared, and everyone started taking their seats.

I took my seat, and Agastya started the meeting.

He briefed us about this new merger they were planning. 

While he was explaining, I couldn't help but notice the confidence and authority in his speech.

And just like that, I was staring at him again, but unlike last time, I didn't want to embarrass myself, so I quickly snapped out of 'Agastya land.'

Then it was my turn to explain the legal framework behind the merger, present my analysis of the current situation, and propose a well-structured settlement draft with strong negotiation terms that would benefit both parties.

"I think I agree with Aahana, so it's done—we will negotiate with Vikas Motors," Mr. Joshi said, and everyone nodded.

After that, we discussed a few more factors of negotiations, and then the meeting ended.

Mr. Joshi came up to me after the meeting.

"Good work, Aahana. I like your confidence and legal knowledge. Therefore, I would want you to be there when we are negotiating with the party next week," he said.

"Sure, sir. Will do," I replied.

He smiled at me and excused himself.

As soon as he left, I heard someone clear his throat.

I followed the sound and saw Agastya standing there with his arms crossed.

"Ready for the date, Miss Shah?" he asked.

"Apparently, yes," I replied shyly.

He then took my hand and dragged me to another cabin.

As we entered, I knew it was his cabin—it was big, with a skyline view of Mumbai.

It was gorgeous.

And it smelled like him.

He took a bag from the couch and handed it to me.

"Wear this for the date, and I'll pick you up at 7 from your house," he said.

I smiled at his gesture and nodded.
