Happy reading folks....

Point of view: Mahir's POV....

••••••••

I tell her finally that I am commited in an engagement when I see that she is actually getting hints unknowingly just because I actually wanted to help her. I can't lead her on.

"Yes", I confirm and then I look up at her. She was silent for few minutes but then finally she speaks up.

"Wow... Um... I mean Congrats. So happy for you.", She said smiling at me. I hope she is not faking this smile.

"Yes. Thanks.", I mumble with half smile on my face. Can this situation be a little less awkward?

"Mahir listen. Don't get me wrong like I am hitting on you or something. But you know, I had in mind that people only care for you and help you when they want something in return that's why I was uhm.. about to kiss you. I am sorry for that.", She explains with a sheepish look.

"It's okay Bela. It happens. But sometimes people actually help you and care for you unconditionally.", I correct her with a small smirk forming on my lips. And it was then, that she chuckles.

"I have never been with such 'people' so I don't know.", She said raising her hands up in surrender.

"I see. It's okay now you have met me.", I wiggle my brows when I finally see situation is getting less awkward.

I was about to say something when doorbell rings. We go towards the main door to see if it's carpenter.

Then I receive a text by carpenter only saying he is doing something with the door and it will be fine in few minutes.

So for rest few minutes we discuss things like work and all. Apparently she is an event planner. And I added to it that now I know an event planner personally so I can ask her to plan all the event whenever I will need an event planner, to which she smiled saying anytime.

"What's her name? I mean your fiancée's?", She asks suddenly.

"Her name is Heli."

"Nice name."

"Thank you."

"This door is jammed so thank god today I have a reason to reach office late like usual.", She said while chuckling and I chuckle too at this.

"I don't like to be late but anyways I am already late.", I said honestly shrugging.

And it was then that door made a clicking sound and opened.

"I gotta go now. Thank you and have a good day.", I said only before getting up and putting on my jacket.

"Yeah sure. Au revoir."

"Au revoir? French?"

"Yup french."

"Why?"

"Because in French it means goodbye until we meet again. Not goodbye forever.", She smiles saying this showing off her dimples.

"Nice. Okay then, Au revoir.", I smile at her too before leaving.

••••••••

I reach back home and quickly glance towards clock. Thank god still sometime is left to wake her up. Thinking this I quickly went to my room and took towel, for taking shower. As soon as I was done with showering, I go to kitchen to make breakfast. I quickly butter breads and make toasts. And then coffee for two. And cornflakes for both of us.

Then I literally run to Heli's room.

"Good morning Snow White.", I literally yell as soon as I barg in.

When I see her sleeping like dead till now, I quickly go to her and move and shake her to wake her up.

"Get up snow white, otherwise you will get late. Come on."

I keep on shaking her when I lose my patience and then I literally pick her up in my arms.

"I will throw you in the bathtub if you won't get up.", I warn sternly and it was then that she starts moving.

"Stop it you jerk. I am awake already."

"Lol I can't see that. Your eyes are closed."

"Fuck you. Now let me down. I am going to shower. I am up.", She said opening her eyes and then I do that while smirking and she literally runs to washroom, banging the door on my face. Someone is grumpy today.

Then I go towards the dining table and sit there waiting for her when she comes finally.

"Mahir why didn't you wake me up a little early? You know na I have so much work for this fashion show of mine. Just 3 days are left. God I am nervous."

"First of all. I woke you up at the correct time. And secondly, you don't need to be nervous. I know you are the best in designing and that's what your passion is. You will rock it snow white.", I said giving her an appreciative nod.

"Thank you Prince Florian. But you know it's my first fashion show as a fashion designer. And it's really important for me."

"I know right. But you will make it."

"Thanks. Btw Sumi aunty called me telling that her son Mahir Sehgal is being so busy in work that he is not eating properly she thinks.", She spoke out of nowhere narrowing her eyes at me.

"Yeah right. And I should call your dad too telling him how you are working till midnight.", I said narrowing my eyes back at her, before continuing, "Heli, work is work. And I am eating properly see." I said this shoving a bite of toast in my mouth, to which Heli started laughing.

"Okay bye then I am getting late.", She said getting up with her breakfast half finished.

"Wait.", I said before getting up and then I brought a lunch box from kitchen and forwarded it to her.

"Even you are not eating properly these days so.", I said.

"Prince Florian? In which class we ate? Pre-nursery? That you giving me this lunch box.", She said chuckling.

"Yeah yeah whatever but you are taking it."

"Okay boss.", She raises her hands up in surrender and I shove the lunch box in her bag waving her goodbye.

"Goodbye Prince.", She said before leaving.

But I don't know why unknowingly, I got reminded of Bela at this. 'Au revoir' is something which she says, which means goodbye until we meet again. I don't know will we ever meet again or not.

••••••••

I was sitting in my cabin when my secretary calls me on intercom.

"Mr. Sehgal. Our group of hotels is planned for collaboration with top event planners right? For that as you said, I have called few event planners to meet you. Hope you remember it?"

"Yeah yeah. I remember when are they coming."

"At 4 pm today. And you have meeting in conference hall with them all scheduled. Hope you can make it."

"Yeah of course. Will see you there."

I put the phone down sighing. How can I forget this project of providing overall services of event planning as well. And with event planning I remember Bela. She is an event planner too. I should approach her too for it I think because I know her. But, fuck. I forgot take take her contact number or e-mail. Leave it.

I then again start making the reports.

••••••••

At 4 pm.

I make my way to the conference hall and quickly get in and make way to my chair. Not sitting there, but standing for few brief seconds, I glance around the room to greet all the event planners with a smile and a 'Hello', when suddenly at the end, my eyes land on a familiar someone. Bela! She! Here! How? I keep on looking at her when her brows furrowed in confusion too.

I had to fight the urge to show my surprised look and then I quickly mouthed a low 'Hey' in her direction and asking everyone to sit.

"Sir they all are top event planners of London. And lemme introduce you to all.", My secretary said before introducing me one by one to all, and at the last she comes to Bela and introduces her to me for just a formality, when she shows me a note from a file, where it was written she is literally the best one.

I don't know why but my heart swells with pride at this. I wanted to call her to offer this collaboration because I knew her. But see how she has been here on basis of her professionalism and people know that she is the best.

Then I start the meeting. Telling others why we want to propose this collaboration.

"So hey everyone. I won't beat around the bush and let's come straight to the point. A business' aim is to create a customer and to satisfy them. As we realised this with time that the customers we are creating on event's basis, like the people who choose Sehgal's hotels for their events. I saw that they are incurring huge expenses on getting an event planner later on their own. And if we collaborate then obviously it will become economic for them. And hotel event planners work with their clients to dream up and execute outstanding events that stay in budget and meet expectations. From invitations and schedules to the food and drink, you’re going to be in charge of it all and you’ll be doing it back to back. So we just aim at making it economic for customers. I hope you all agree with this. Please present your opinions too.", I said after giving presentation when all looked impressed by the presentations expect one. Bela.

"I have query Mr. Sehgal.", Bela said. As I expected. Because she is no more the girl whom I was talking to in the morning. She is extreme professional just now.

"Yes Miss Sharma please go ahead.", I said nodding.

"What are you actually doing in this collaboration?", She said resting her back on her seat comfortably leaning back.

"What? I mean I didn't get it."

"See. You are just giving your hotel as venue, for which you are getting paid with ample amount. But as I read the terms, the event will be under banners of Sehgal's groups. All the work, planning will be done by us. And also the workforce will be ours. So what big task are you actually doing to get your banner fixed there, I mean to get credit.", She said in a business tone in a really blunt way. And I smile in an amused way. Not because of her blunt reply but because for the first time a collaboration with someone is being fun to me with clauses.

"Okay workforce will be ours and the event planner who will be planning the event, their name will also be added along with Sehgal's. Is that fine?", I said smirking.

"Yes fine.", She shrugs.

"Any other clause Miss Sharma?", I said stressing on her surname when she nods in no.

And meeting soon is dismissed with the acceptance given by event planners. And particularly I am really impressed with her who got a mind to put a clause too.
