Murthy empire
Nandini's cabin

Nandini was going through some files when there was a knock on her door.

Nandini: come in!

Shane walks in with ruth in tow. Shane handed her the documents for finalising and moved back to let ruth talk.

Ruth: mam as you have said the driver arrived at the airport an hour before. He already picked up the madam and is currently on his way to the east district.

She paused here looking a little tense. Nandini stopped signing the papers and looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.

Nandini: and?

Ruth: she....she

Nandini: ms.smith...does my schedule look free to you?

Ruth (stammering): no mam.

Nandini (irritated): then would you hurry the hell up...I do not have all day for you to finish your sentence. is that clear?

Ruth (scared): yes mam. The madam asked for you to meet her in the penthouse.

Nandini: understood. Inform her that I will schedule our monthly meeting in 2 days. You may leave now.

Nandini picked up her pen to get back to her file when she noticed ruth still standing there.

Nandini: now what?

Ruth: madam also asked to call her if you denied to go today.

Nandini gritted her teeth as she muttered" ofcourse when has she ever listened to me"

She handed over the file to Shane and asked the both of them to leave. She picked up her personal mobile and went through the extremely limited contact list stopping on the name mrs.rathode.

She hovered her finger over the name while biting her lower lip feeling lost.

"Mumma please come home...I am scared"

"Mumma where were you"

"Mumma you missed my ptm"

The sudden ringing of her phone snapped her from her thoughts. An involuntary smile crept up her lips when she saw the caller id Jaan. As soon as she answered she heard the melodious giggles of her 5year old.

Arhaan: mumma we made a cake! It was yummm

Nandini (smiling wide): is that so? Kiske saath banaya?

Arhaan: dost ke saath...

Nandini: accha...waise..... mumma ko naa cake bana na nahi aata. Tho aap bataoge mumma ko kaise banayi thi.

And with that arhaan launched into his tale of powders and mixing, giving his mumma an impromptu class on baking while nandini listened to his rant resting on her chair.

Arhaan:....aur pata hai mumma I saved you a piece. Aap jaldi Ghar aao phir hum dono khaayenge.

Nandini: thank you so much baccha. Aur mumma jald hi aayegi Aaj. Love you.

With that she cut the call feeling content. Truly she can never be sad for long with this little angel in her life. She dialled her mother's number and waited.

Mrs.rathode: hello!

Nandini: our meeting is scheduled in two days time just like every other month. I will be meeting you then.

Mrs. Rathode: I do remember the date dear.i haven't grow that old yet!
The meeting is irrelevant...I want to meet you today and at my penthouse.

Nandini (scoffed): thats not going to happen. I have an important meeting today so unfortunately we have to agree on the predetermined date.

Mrs. Rathode: is that your final word?

Nandini: yes. And don't you dare come to the company and make a scene like the previous time. I won't be taking it in stride this time.

Mrs. Rathode: is that so...since your company is out of question then I am afraid I would have to go to nest this time. Anyways I would also get an excuse to meet my lovely grandson. isn't that such a good idea?

Nandini (angry): don't try to drag my son into this! Trust me you do not want to mess with me. And if you even think about harming him-

Mrs. Rathode: for god sake nandini.I won't harm him...I am his grandmother!

Nandini: cut the drama Mrs rathode. There is no media here. Since you so badly want to meet me I will reach your place in an hour. I hope you get the documents ready I would  like to finish up our monthly meeting today itself.

Mrs. Rathode (surprised): documents....

Nandini: yes, Get them ready. Seeing your face before the required time is bad enough. I do not wish to see it twice in a month.

Mrs.rathode (angrily): nandini...

Nandini cut the call before she could hear anymore yelling. She sighed getting up and exiting her cabin.

Shane looked up from the previous year's annual report he was going through to see nandini marching towards the doors. He widened his eyes a little and rushed behind her.

Shane: boss...there is a meeting with Mr sinha in the evening.

Nandini: reschedule it for now.push all the other works till tomorrow. And send the reports to my home office I would like to review it by tonight.

Shane nodded and bowed to her hurrying away to contact mr.sinha's secretary about the last minute rescheduleling.

Penthouse
Elevator

Nandini entered the elevator while messaging the butler about arhaan's dinner. getting the message that both of them ate, she made her way out of the elevator and stood in front of the penthouse door. Ringing the doorbell she tiredly leaned against the wall.

Mrs brooke opened the door to find nandini standing quietly. She hurriedly moved aside and welcomed her in.

Nandini nodded at her and entered the living room. She looked at the lady who was seated on the sofa sipping red wine and discussing a project With her assistant standing behind.

Mrs rathode: looks like my daughter is back martha. We will be continuing this tomorrow.

Mrs rathode smiled as she glance at nandini but it fell when she noticed her blank stare.
