He was seated at the head of the table, his laptop open in front of him, no doubt already prepared to ask us a bunch of invasive questions. 
But he wasn't looking at the screen. He was looking at me. 
Stopping in my tracks, I looked back, wondering if I had spilt something on my clothes. A quick look down showed that nothing was out of the ordinary. 
So I looked up again to find his meditative gaze fixed on me, sizing me up. 
Now my gaze narrowed. "What?" I asked, trying to bring politeness into my accusatory tone. 
He seemed to notice that my effort had failed because he raised an eyebrow, his head tilting to the side as he appraised me. "You're the head of marketing for FMCG?" he finally asked, his rich voice giving me a picture of a high bank balance. 
Some people just have the voice that feels like a fat cheque. He has that voice in a low, deep register. 
"Yes," I replied, trying to not get distracted by his intimidating presence.
"What are you; 12?" he asked, in a quietly scoffing tone. 
What the-
My eyes narrowed further. "No."

Fresh off her devastating breakup, young and talented Dhriti Kumar heads back to India after her overdramatic mother's recent meltdown about her single status. In order to retain normalcy, productivity and distraction from the garbage fire that was her life, she takes up a high level job at Kleitos, an MNC that's playing the big leagues. 

Known as one of the brightest minds in marketing, the last person she wants as the CMO and her ultimate boss is Dhruv Razdan, the infamous Marketing whiz who has decided to take running his father's business seriously and head back to India at the same time. 
Dhriti and Dhruv have similar interests, talent and passion for marketing. They also are at loggerheads with each other because, well, the room can only deal with one genius who has done everything by 30. 

Would something brew between the two? Or would the ego battle continue with gusto? 
Only one way to find out.

Mr. Raichand, you are my boss, not my therapist. I don't find it professional." I told the man sitting opposite to me in his black suit and thumb pressing his lip as he continued to look at me. " Shivanya, things have never been professional between you and me ever since you walked in for that interview. Since then, I have thought about you in seven hundred ways, none of which closely resonates with me being your boss or you being my employee." The thing is, he doesn't mince words outside the Courtroom. I am sorry, what?" I asked, shocked. " You heard me right for the first time." He did not repeat him words but continued to look at me, standing a few feet away from and looking intimidating just as ever. The thing was, I hated being looked at for too much. Much of this insecurity came from being curvy and not being comfortable under my own skin. But his gaze was something else. It did not make me uncomfortable in the way people usually do, it was almost as if he was looking at me. Not my looks or my work, but at me. " You fail to understand, sir. When I tell you that I don't want your help in something which is not related to work, I mean it. Apart from that, if I find myself in a difficult position in a case, I know where to find you." I took a step back and turned around to collect my laptop and bag to leave but his voice stopped me again. " I have been waiting for you longer than you know of it Miss Chopra. You will find out soon enough." His words sounded dangerously close to a promise, sending a shiver down my spine as he once again sat down in the chair next to where I was standing. " Have a good day sir." I hurried out of the Conference room once I had everything. Ignorance is bliss, until it is not. She knows of it. He knows of it. He accepts it, she does not. They are not opposites but they are in no way similar either. But the real question is, will she acknowledge it?
