Shubman sat there in his office, on his chair skimming through the files in front of him, when someone knocked on his door.
"Come in."
"Sir, you asked for the resume's of the best bodyguards of the country."
Shubman finally looked up from the files, sparing him a glance.
"I asked you to give them to Vi bhaiya."
"Virat sir isn't here right now."

He held the file out towards Shubman and Shubman sighed and gestured him to keep it on the table. Shubman turned his attention back to his work and when he saw his secretary still standing there, not making any move to leave, he looked back up at him.
"Do you need something else, Yash?"
"Uhhh- no sir sorry, I just- I actually need to get back to a few of them right away, so it would be best if you choose them as soon as possible."
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman's secretary, answered hesitating a bit.

"Are you really telling me that they can't wait for me?"
Shubman asked him cocking an eyebrow and Yash sighed.
"No sir, ofcourse not..... but don't take it out on me, if some of them aren't available anymore."
Shubman glared at him, narrowing his eyes thinking that he had been too lenient with his secretary lately, because Yash kept running his mouth too much these days, according to him.

"And? It's your job to ensure that all of the candidates that I choose, are MADE available."
Shubman noticed Yash gulping in fear and Yash slowly nodded.
"You can leave now."
"Also... I already went through the resume's and I've arranged them in a manner that the rankings of the bodyguards go up and the last one is the best one in the country. Despite that, I didn't hire them myself, because I know you like to make sure to hire everyone personally and ensure that they're not just good at their jobs but also hard working, or well make Virat sir do it."

Shubman narrowed his eyes at Yash and nodded, thankful that this one atleast had a brain unlike his previous secretaries, well unless you counted the indirect taunts and unnecessary mouth running, which Shubman mostly chose to ignore because he didn't want to lose Yash, but he would never admit this is front of him. Yash left the room and despite snapping at his secretary, Shubman found himself pausing his current work and opening the file kept there by Yash.

He skimmed through the resume's of some of the best bodyguards of the country and he had decided that he would hire about three bodyguards since he already had a few. He had decided to select five and would hire three out of those five, after interviewing them. He had looked at the pictures stuck to the resume's and the physical appearances of these people. They were all bulked up and tall. Among them though was one resume that caught his eye.

His eyes roamed around the picture and the name of the said bodyguard. He noticed that in contrast of all the other bodyguards, this one was short and not as bulky, like the rest. He read that particular resume very thoroughly and he found out that despite his physical appearance, he was known to be one of the best, because of his hardwork and dedication. He also had the best techniques and skills and knew how to use weapons like an expert.

Overall, he was ranked very highly and was said to be very trustworthy due to his courageous attitude and approach. Shubman turned the page around and realized that this was the last resume, indicating he was the best one. Shubman looked back at the resume and read the name out loud.
"Ishan Kishan."
Upon focusing his eyes back on the piece of paper he noticed that it was wet.

He then touched his face and realized that he had tears flowing down his face thus explaining the wet sheet of paper. Shubman instantly tapped a button, calling for his secretary and wiped away the tears. When Yash entered the cabin, he looked down at the open resume file.
"So you did check it out right away after all huh?"
Shubman glared at Yash and Yash realized he had said it out loud and instantly apologized gulping in fear.

"I NEED this one."
Shubman said pointing out towards the last resume.
"He looks so cute, doesn't he? Can't believe he's said to be one of the scariest and best bodyguards."
Yash said smiling at the picture.
"What do you know about him?"
Shubman asked looking a little desperate.
"Not much sir, I talked to his agency and they said he was very focused and reliable."

"Make sure to get him then. If you're unable to hire him, don't bother to show your face here again."
Yash looked at little confused but nodded anyways. How hard would it be to convince someone to work for the richest CEO of the country?

If only he knew....

Since Shubman had only chosen one candidate out of all of them, Yash decided to choose the other four himself, after being rudely kicked out of Shubman's office. He went to Virat bhai for help, hoping he had finally made it to the office and when he saw Virat sitting there, he sighed in relief and showed him the file. Virat bhai looked shocked when Yash showed him Ishan's picture and Yash also told him about how Shubman had demanded for Ishan to be present for the interview.

Virat helped Yash choose the other four and then made his way towards Shubman's office in a hurry. Yash found their reactions weird but shrugged it off and sent all five of them candidates an email, regarding their interview which was scheduled the next day. When everyone including Ishan showed up for the interview, Yash finally relaxed. Yash guided each of them one by one towards Virat's office, where Shubman had been present for the first time, for an interview. Yash was even more confused about Shubman's presence.

Shubman had always left everything regarding his security completely upto Virat, then what had suddenly changed?
Two people had already been selected out of the first four candidates and only Ishan remained yet to be interviewed. Ishan hugged the two selected bodyguards and they wished him luck. Yash made his way inside the office with Ishan, but when Ishan entered, he froze at the door as he looked up towards Shubman and Yash knew something had went down between them.
