<After eight months>

*Pia Pov*

I entered the company talking to our sponsor with Nikki following me. Immediately when I put the step inside mostly everyone went silent and there are some hushed whispers.

When we got inside the elevator I didn't missed the glares from everyone. I rolled my eyes and continued to talk. While Nikki chuckled from beside me.

"Yeah! We are completely ready for tomorrow's show. There will be no mistakes and everyone will love our work. We assure you." After talking to him I hanged up and glared at the phone.

"We need to have a immediate talk with Mr.Prakash." I said pressing the top floor button.

"Poor him!" Nikki said and I turned to see her controlling her laugh.

"I am sure you will enjoy the show Nikki." I said and stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened.

I opened the door of his cabin but not before knocking on it. He looked up hearing the sound of closing door and smiled at us.

"Pia! Come on sit down. We need to discuss about tomorrow's show." He said sitting straight in his chair.

"Mr.Prakash! Do you have manager or secretary or P.A?" I asked standing infront of his table and folding my hands.

"Ofcourse! They are very efficient." He replied smiling.

"What is my work here Mr.Prakash?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.

"Call me just 'Prakash'. You are our top designer and you are also very efficient." He replied confused.

"Then why in the hell am I answering the questions from the sponsor's everyday when my work is to just design the clothes?" I asked him in frustration.

"Did you get the calls again?" he asked sighing.

He took the phone from the table and called someone. Few minutes later there was some knock and entered the devil.

"Hello Ladies!" He said flashing his smile.

"Kalyan! I am in very bad mood so don't mess with me today." I said and sat on the chair.

He snorted and said "When are you not in that mood?"

"Kalyan! Why did you give Pia's number again for another sponsor?" Mr.Prakash asked.

"What can I do? Few of them do not believe my words except Pia's. So I gave them her number." He replied shrugging.

"It just shows that you need to change your M.D as soon as you can Prakash." Nikki said glaring at Kalyan.

"Oh yeah! Whom should he employ in my place and don't forget I am his brother?" Kalyan asked sarcastically.

"Anyone is better than you." She replied rolling her eyes.

"You both are so funny! I and my wife fight with each other just like you both." Mr.Prakash said laughing making me look at him like 'Is he crazy?'. They both just continued to exchange some beautiful words between them. Definitely note the sarcasm here.

"Guys! Cut it out and please don't forget this is working place. What example are you both setting for other employees?" I said standing up and they both just calmed down but still glaring at each other.

"Kalyan! I don't know what you will do just don't give my number to them. If you want give your brother's number." I said.

"What? But why mine?" Mr.Prakash said frowning.

"Because this is your company for god's sake. And fire your brother or atleast suspend him if he is unable to complete his duty." I replied and went near the door to leave.

"You are very rude." Kalyan said glaring at me.

"I am getting bored hearing the same things from all of you. Come up with new words to describe me." I said leaving the cabin.

"That idiot!" Nikki said after we entered the elevator.

"Did you guys fought yesterday night at your date?" I asked her.

"Yeah! He is flirting with the waitress when I arrived there. I mean who does that at half year anniversary." She replied fuming.

"Don't worry! You both will be back to normal by tomorrow." I said and we both stepped out of the elevator. The whole floor is filled with lot of noise.

Then we heard our floor 'Help boy' saying "Ice queen is coming to her den." And immediately they all went quiet.

"If my welcoming is done can I go to my cabin?" I asked and immediately the boy turned to see me. His eyes went wide like there is no tomorrow. Remaining too just looked at me the same way.

"I think by now rolling my eyes must have become my signature step." I muttered and entered my cabin.

After closing the door Nikki laughed and said "I am sure he is going to change his floor by evening."

She sat at her table and started getting down to check whether everything is perfect for tomorrow. I started to check the list where it is clear to know which model will wear which dress.

Few minutes later we heard a knock on the door and I said 'Come in'. The door was opened to reveal my secretary.

She entered and said "Maam! Can I take three days leave?"

I looked at her hands to see them trembling. Why? Do I look like some dragon or something?

"Why?" I asked her.

"My mom is not feeling well. So can I please?" She replied.

I remember interviewing her five months back and she was very bad at the speed in which a report can be typed. I took the file from beside me and placed it infront of her.

"Here take this and type it. Mail it to me in half n hour. If you do it then you can go and if u do it early then there will be more good things that can happen." I said and saw her face paling.

"All of this?" she asked taking the file.

"Any problem?" I asked her raising an eyebrow.

She shook her head and left the cabin. As I thought she mailed it correctly after fifteen minutes and entered my cabin with a smile of satisfaction on her face.

"Don't show me your face for one week." I said looking at her.

"Maam?" she asked confused.

"The every five minutes you saved I am adding another day for your leave. So don't show me your face until then." I replied and continued to do my work.

"Thank you Maam. Thank you so much." She said smiling.

"For another second you stay here I will cut one day from it. So leave now." I said and immediately she left the cabin.

"Pia! I know you decided to give her leave before she even typed that file. Then why did you give her that simple task?" Nikki asked looking at me.

"Do you know in these five months she never took one day leave and came to office even on Sundays? She deserves it and now she will feel like she earned her leave too." I replied.

Next day evening we both reached the venue and saw all the decorations are complete. It is not our work but it is better to be careful right?

We saw Mr.Prakash and Kalyan talking to few guests but waved at us when they saw us. We waved back but went to back stage to see if everyone is ready or not.

When we entered it was complete chaos and everyone is just getting ready. We sent few assistants who are in training for them so that they can learn something.

We both passed each model and checked whether everything is good or not. While passing I saw one girl squealing and saying that "I am really glad that I got this chance. I really need this money and my present family problems will be over."

I ignored everyone and concentrated on checking the details. Then we heard some commotion at the end of the room. We reached there to see our show stopper scolding the intern.

"Is there any problem?" Nikki asked looking at the intern.

"Maam! As per the dress this part must be placed on her shoulder. But..." She started to say her problem.

That model cut her off and said "On my shoulder there is my favorite tattoo which I always display in any show. But this cloth will cover it. So I will take that extra cloth in my hand and walk on the ramp."

"This show is to display the clothes not some tattoo's which you can do later after the show finish anywhere you want. So don't do any alterations." I said.

"But I can't walk without that on display." She said whining.

"We can't do that. The dress should be wore as it is designed and there will be no changes." I said and turned to leave.

"I will do as my wish. I will not cover my tattoo." She said stubbornly.

"Are you sure?" I asked looking at her.

"As I already told you I will not do as you wish. I will just hold it in my hand. What's the big deal?" She asked flipping her hand.

"You are no longer in this show. Go and change your dress. I don't want any damage to it while you are doing it." I said calmly.

"What?" she screeched.

"Leave!" I said raising my voice which echoed around the whole room as everyone fell quiet.

She finally did left after changing. And there is no damage to the dress too. I turned around and looked at all the models.

I pointed at every girl and finally selected one and said "You! You will be the show stopper."

Immediately she squealed. God! Does she do anything other than squealing?

When she got into the dress I did some little alterations so that it will be perfect for her size. After everything is settled Nikki and I left the room to go near the stage.

"I am proud of you Pia! That you selected her and helped her to get over the problems." Nikki said smiling.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I said looking at the guests to see everyone is there.

"You can't deceive your best friend Pia." Nikki said and hugged me.

I hugged her and we both moved a little away as the show started. As we thought the show was hit and we both answered the questions asked by the media.

"Ms.Pia! What is the theme for the next future designs released by the company?" On reporter asked.

"We just released one theme today and you guys are already asking for next one even before we know whether the present ones will be hit or not?" I asked him back raising an eye brow.

"That's because they know it will be a hit Pia." Mr.Prakash said standing beside me with his wife. "And there is still time to release the next theme." He added and we finished the interview.

He dragged me to a table at the corner where Kalyan is already sitting and Nikki along with his wife following us. He made me sit and they all too took their places.

"What was that? How can you ask them such question?" He asked looking at me.

"Hush Prakash! First congratulate her for this wonderful work." his wife said smiling warmly at me.

"She is the best ofcourse the work would be awesome." Kalyan said smiling brightly at me.

"Whatever! But I really don't have any idea for the next theme." I said looking at them.

"And you don't have to because for few months this work will be the talk of the fashion industry. But I want to ask you something." Mr.Prakash said looking at me nervously.

"No!" I immediately said shaking my head.

"Come on Pia! That is a great company and we are now partners to them. They want you to work for them and they are asking me everyday." He said looking at me.

"I don't want to work in Mumbai and that's it." I said drinking some water.

"Prakash! She will not go there. You are asking that for the last one month right." Nikki said looking at him.

"I will not stop asking her even after one year and I am sure she will accept it." He said stubbornly.

"All the best for that trying. Anyway we will leave now. Our friends are coming today to visit us." I said getting up along with Nikki.

We bid our 'Bye's' and left the venue to reach our home. I will not go to Mumbai like ever.
