Mumbai ...

J Multinational Corporation....

"I heard the CEO is interviewing new candidates again" Samara  flipped her hair over her shoulder as she speak.

"Heh? Again? What happened to boss? He is taking new stuffs so frequently" Yadav shook his head.

"Didn't he announced for it 1 month ago?" Nandini was making her chart of the new project.

"He did but I can't understand the reason behind it" Samara shrugged her.

"Hmm...." Yadav drank his tea "I guess the finance group couldn't complete their works. That's why he is trying to grab new groups to test the ability"

"Test?" Nandini frowned.

"It's good that our marketing department is better than the finance one. God, the financial world are so hectic" Samara rolled her eyes. She was advertising manager in the department.

"Come on dude, don't insult them" Yadav laughed but everyone could see there was a mocking smile.

"What are you all talking about?" Iniya walked in with a serious face. Her expression was always like this.

"Ay, you are here too. Join our gossips" Samara invited her. She was the Brand Manager in the department also the head.

"Come on BM, this are interesting" Yadav said wiggling his eyebrows.

"What?" Iniya frowned.

"Didn't you heard? Boss is interviewing another group for the finance department again" Yadav laughed "what do you think BM, will he get good numbers thos time?"

Iniya rolled her eyes "get your horses down. He cancelled it"

"What?" Yadav and Samara jumped up.

"What's with your reaction?" Iniya frowned "he cancelled it so there's no new interviews. But it doesn't mean the new group is not coming "

"What do you mean by that? No interviews and still new group is coming up?" Samara asked.

Iniya nodded "heard that he has requested the professional finance team from the Steal High Corporation" she shrugged. "They agreed to send their best one to help him"

"SHC? My god. How come boss has the pass in there? Isn't it the top company in Mumbai? I heard they had branches in Uk and US too" Samara gasped.

"It's a luck. Boss has friendship with the SHC's ceo. It made the work less trouble " Iniya replied.

"That easy? Won't SHC lose their finance team in this way?" Yadav frowned.

"No, they had back up. Besides the one who is coming is the assistant of the head of the finance department of SHC. So they are not in the lose"

"Wow, things changed like this? Tell me BM how does the new CFO looks like? Have you seen? " Samara smirked.

"He is handsome, may be it will blind your eyes" Iniya replied with smug expression. "You will understand more when he joins the company today"

"Oh my god, he is joining today? What time?" Samara asked with gasp.

"Lunch" Iniya's reply was short.

"Hell, need to finish my work first" Yadav cursed. He is the marketing coordinator in the department. He rushed towards his desk and started to open his desktop.

"I need to finish mine too. God, I need to do tough up too" Samara mumbled to herself as she walked towards her desk.

Iniya turned her attention to Nandini who was still tying "Nandini? Are not you excited?"

Nandini averted her gaze from the screen to look at her "excited about what?"

"About the new CFO"

"I am more interested in my work BM" she looked back at her screen.

Iniya sighed "you are the only one who avoids meeting the new people coming in. Others are dying to make contact and here you are staying here working your ass off. You need break girl"

Nandini laughed "my work is not that dressing BM. Copy writing is not that hard. My degree got in some work and I am really happy about it though. As for the new CFO. We work in the same company of course may be coincidentally we will meet one day"

Iniya shook her head "you are such a....." Then she smiled "okay, everyone is excited to meet the new CFO. If you want to see then you can join too. I will go and check the arrangements with Boss"

"Okay" Nandini nodded without looking at her.

Her life has changed much. It has been two years she got her degree and went to her home town. She decided to live there until she find what to do next. Fortunately, after 6 months spending in her hometown, she saw an online advertisement about the copywriting position in JMC. She send few examples then got selected to her surprise. Then she moved in Mumbai to work. It has been one and half year that she was working with 30k salary per month. It's good that her uncle had a flat in Mumbai which was brought 3 years ago but never lived so her uncle gave her the flat to her on her last birthday. It also saved her rent fees living in the dream City.

Suddenly she saw a hot cup of coffee put on her desk. She followed the arm holding the cup and saw Samara grinning at her.

"What?" Nandini asked.

"Coffee of course" Samara rolled her eyes "you have been working without any break. I was craving for some Holt coffee so thought you can accompany me"

"I am good"

Samara couldn't help but roll her eyes again "come on Nandini. It's already an hour and about to start the lunch break. Have you forgot that we are welcoming a new CFO today?"

Nandini pursed her lips "should I celebrate for that? With coffee?"

"Stop your sarcasm please. Didn't you heard what BM said? He is a hot kinda piece of shit. How can you not go and take a look at him? You can even date him for god's sake" she threw her arms in the air.

Nandini frowned "why would I go for that? I am not interested in dating"

"Ah, you want to die Virgin?" Samara was shocked.

"May be"

Samara shook her head "that's not a kind of life to live girl. I mean look at yourself. You are so beautiful and have the curves like man would go die for. What are you waiting for huh? There are many in the office who want to ask you out but hey, your glares send them away. Why do you do that?"

"Samara for god's sake, I don't want to date. It's just a time wasting. Besides I am here to do jub not to date. Boss don't give me salary for dating"

"You are so boring. How do you conclude everything and relate it with business matter? If I was in your position, fuck I would have raped many men every night"

Nandini 's eyes went wide "what kind of vulgar words you are using Samara? Have you gone mad? What kind of nonsense invading your head?"

"I am mentally stable my love, but you need a little boosting here. I can't have you die alone and your beautiful body and virginity go waste. God has given you a gift and you are rotting in the corner with your computer in the office instead of using your youth fully when it's prime"

Nandini rolled her eyes "go and lecture in the university. You will live a happy life"

Samara laughed "as if I have interest. God, what kind of girl you are!"

"A perfect one I guess" Nandini replied.

Samara shook her head with a smile "come on finish the coffee and let your eyes to have a rest or before you could see the new CFO it would be rolling on your desk" she laughed again then walked away waving her hand.

Nandi sighed and looked at the steaming coffee then smiled. Her colleagues are all funny and good. She shook her head and finally averted her eyes from the screen and grabbed the cup to enjoy the small treat of Samara.

It was a lunch time but the Boss and other departments heads he gathered to welcome the new CFO. But the gathering not only for him but the Boss of the SHC is also coming alone. After sometime a group of people wearing formal business suits walked in.

"Ah Mr. Ashok" Mr. Dharm the boss of JMC smiled.

"Mr. Dharm" Mr. Ashok nodded shaking his hand.

"Welcome to JMC" Mr. Dharm said.

"Thank you. As I promised, I have brought my trusted man to be your CFO. I hope he will serve the JMC and could surprise you" Mr. Ashok said proudly.

Mr. Dharm laughed "how can I doubt? He will do better of course"

"Of course, of course " Mr. Ashok nodded. "I have fulfilled my promise and now let me introduce the new CFO " he added before he pointed to the man standing behind him.

Everyone was eyeing the new CFO and when he came forward everyone gasped.

Nandini closed her desktop and gathered the papers in a file "finally my work is done" she mumbled and grabbed the file before walking out. She will give it to the BM. But on the way she saw the office stuffs gathered around. She frowned slightly. Then she remembered that today the new CFO will come. She saw BM was also there so she moved a little forward. She was farther than the other stuffs and she could see the entrance door and few unfamiliar people.

See saw the Middle aged business suited man smiled and and said the name of the new CFO but she couldn't hear it clearly due to the distance. When the new CFO turned around and smiled at the office stuffs her breathing stopped for a moment. Her eyes stuck in the familiar face smiling at everyone. Nandini stumbled backward until her back was hot the wall. She stood there looking at him though in her position no one could see her. But only word escaped from her mouth.

"Manik"

How come he is here?
