*Pari Pov*

For the next few days, we all were busy filing the complaints and set them into action.

Today we all are doing our work, and the elevator doors opened. Nearly ten clients of ours entered the floor.

Rani turned towards me hiding her smirk. She hates them all now because they thought of me as a spy and wanted to complain against me.

Rani became so protective of me like a big sister. As I am a single child, I am enjoying the feeling of having a sister.

Anyway, coming to the present solution, we all are watching the clients wanting to enter Mr.Stone's cabin, but he is not allowing them.

After ten minutes, Mr.Stone came outside his cabin and stood in front of them with a stern expression. Does he ever smile?

"What do you want?" he asked them.

"We all want you to take your complaints back, and we will not cancel our deals." One client said as if he is doing charity.

"Why would I make that mistake and deal with you all?" Mr.Stone asked arrogantly.

And no one is surprised by his arrogance because we all know he has tons of it.

"You will get loses if you don't do It." Another client said, but we all can hear the hesitation in it.

"Let me! Why do you all care?" there you go, another arrogant reply. However, these people definitely deserve it.

They were about to say something else but Mr.Stone cut them off and said, "Let me get this straight. If you had come here and apologized and asked me nicely, then maybe I would have considered that not for sure of course."

He looked at me and said, "But you all came here and talking like I have to take my complaints back as if it is for my sake. And also you accused someone else, even after knowing everything about the culprit."

"It is not our mistake. Ms.Sheela asked us to do that and try to convince you to complain against your P.A." one client said immediately.

"That Witch!" came the whisper from Rani.

Ok, here a serious discussion is happening, and I just got to know that someone out there hates me so much that they want me to get arrested.

However, why do I want to laugh at the present like there is no tomorrow? Did I also become weird after starting to work here?

"I can never trust you all, so you please may leave, and loses you are saying I will get will be cleared by you guys when you pay me." Mr.Stone said as a final word.

"But now your rival is not taking us to his side. Mr.Raghu is hell-bent throwing us outside of his company after hearing about your complaints. We don't have anywhere else to go." One client said.

I cleared my throat and said, "And whose fault is that? If we didn't even complain against you, he would have done the same because if you can betray Mr.Stone, then you can betray anyone. And he is not an idiot to make that mistake."

The faces of all of them fell, and I then got a brilliant idea. So I said, continuing "Why don't you guys go and tell him that Mr.Stone complained against you because his company is going to close down, and he needs money to pay for his employees and to save for him a little. Just try it, he will be so happy that he will sign any documents you show and make him sign a long-term agreement with you all as his clients. However, you have time until today's afternoon only."

And there you go, there is pin-drop silence. Everyone was looking at me like I am some crazy girl. I know it is a little evil, but it is a good one right.

They were still looking at me shocked and left the office without saying another word.

"Ouch!" I screamed when someone slapped my shoulder.

I turned around and saw that it is Rani. "Why did you do that?" I asked her confused.

"Have you gone mad? You just advised to those stupid people, who tried to get you arrested." She screamed at me.

"Rani they were just pawns of Mr.Raghu. They too have a family and if everyone leaves them, their family is the one who will get to suffer." I explained.

"But..." she started saying, but I cut her off and said, "Mr.Raghu is the main one to pay. And if these clients are any better, then they know what to do in the meantime, they get working at that company, and Mr.Raghu is the one that will get lose in the future."

"Who are you?" I got this sudden question from Maam and the remaining just remained looking at me.

"Maam, these are simple things many people know about them." I replied casually and looked at everyone.

Mr.Stone and Maam looked at me for a few seconds and went back to their cabins.

"Wow, Pari! Never thought we could see this new evil angle in you." Sakshi said, and everyone nodded.

"What can I say I am full of surprises!" I replied to them laughing.

*Simran Pov*

Indeed, Ms.Pari indeed you are full of surprises I thought chuckling.

During the lunch break, I reached my brother's cabin and saw that he is still working.

"Problems are going to solve right! Then why are you not still eating your lunch? For one week, you stopped eating lunch. It is not good for you." I said and sat in front of him.

"Di, I am fine. Don't worry. I need to do all this so that we can get new clients as soon as possible." He replied.

"Who asked you not to do your work? Just take care of yourself too." I said.

"Ok, ok. Now tell me what do you want to talk about." He asked.

"Don't you feel weird that Ms.Pari has perfect ideas for any situation? She is like some encyclopedia or something." I said frowning.

"Yeah! I too felt the same, and she said that she learned from her father. Anyway, we will think about it later." He said.

"So, what are you preparing for so seriously?" I asked him.

"You know, why should we deal with many small clients and why don't we have a deal with a big company. Our problems will go away at a time." He replied.

"What company do you have in mind then?" I asked.

"We should always aim for best so I am going for number one company, and if we work hard, then we could stand in number two like our father company in the past." He said, and I can clearly see the determination.

"Hmm... but don't you remember in the second year we asked for a deal with this company, but they rejected us." I said confused.

"Yeah, but I just researched recently that the help we got to start this company at first came from that company." He said.

"Really? I never thought that it would be possible." I said amazed.

"Now we are in danger, and I am hoping that they will be the solution for us again."

"You may be right. So what is the change to the plan this time?" I asked.

"Just that we three along with Ms.Pari prepare three different presentations, and we both will decide the one of them, which will be best. However, we are not going to tell her about the company." He said.

"And why should we not?" I asked.

"Because she always browses about them and prepares something, which will be comfortable for such company. However, this company, we wish to deal with only wants perfect ones. Even if we fulfill all its demands, it doesn't accept us. So I decided that." He said.

I nodded and left his cabin. I was about to go inside my cabin, but Ms.Pari just entered with a tray of food.

"Are you going to eat here?" I asked her.

"No, Maam! We all observed that Mr.Stone was not eating his lunch, so I just brought it to him so that he can eat it." she said.

I smiled and entered my cabin.

Something is cooking I guess! Well, let's wait and watch...

*Pari Pov*

Now we all are sitting in the canteen for lunch. Then Rani said, "Do you know that Mr.Stone is not eating lunch at all from the past week?"

"Really? But why?" I asked her.

"He is just doing work and work." She replied shrugging.

"Sounds just like, Mr.Stone." Imran said shrugging too.

Even remaining girls too, ok is it 'World's shrugging day' or something.

"We should send some food for him then." I said after few minutes.

"And why would we want to enter the lion's den and plan our suicide? Absolutely, no one wants that." Sakshi said with finality.

"He is not that bad, guys." I blurted out.

They all looked at me wide-eyed and immediately have teasing looks upon their faces.

"Rani don't you think something weird is happening these days." Rashi said.

"Yeah! So weird, that it is making everyone drop their jaws." Rani said.

"Yes! And mainly in the case of Mr.Stone." Sakshi added

"Hmmm... what would be the reason for such changes?" Imran too joined them.

"Maybe the reason is called as Pari." Rani replied.

With that, they all burst out laughing.

"Urghh, you guys seriously have brain damage." I said, getting up and ordered food and placed it in a tray.

I went outside the canteen ignoring their calls and went inside the elevator. I reached my floor, then Maam who was about to enter her cabin asked, "Are you going to eat here?"

"No, Maam. We all observed that Mr.Stone was not eating his lunch, so I just brought it to him so that he can eat it." I said.

She smiled and entered her cabin, and I knocked on Mr.Stone's cabin. After hearing the reply I went inside and placed the tray on his table.

Looking that he asked, "Why did you bring it here?"

"Mr.Stone, we heard that you are skipping lunch for a week, so I thought of bringing it here." I replied.

He narrowed his eyes on me and said, "What is your job here in my company?"

"I am your P.A and secretary, Mr.Stone." I replied confused.

"Then why the hell did you bring me this food. If you want to work as an office boy, tell me I would happily appoint you for that. And I will find someone else for those two jobs who know what their job is." He shouted at me.

After a few seconds, he realized what he said with the shock evident upon his face. As for me, I am chanting to myself to control the stupid tears not to appear.

I am stronger than this, so I cut him off whatever he was about to say and said, "After lunch, I am going to the press conference as your PR. Let's hope the reputation will come back to this company."

Without listening to his reply, I left his cabin. How stupid of me to think that there will be changes in his behavior at least a little. Mr.Stone will always be Mr.Stone.

I returned to the canteen and sat with my friends. First, they started teasing me, but after seeing my mood, they stopped doing it.

"What happened now?" Rani asked.

"Nothing Mr.Stone is being Mr.Stone." I replied and stopped saying anything else.

They understood and changed the topic.

Just wait and watch Mr.Stone I will get my little revenge for sure in this press meeting, but of course, I will make that revenge as an asset for this company don't worry.

Soon I left for the place where I call for press meeting along with many proofs. I am going to play a little devil here, but Sheela brought it upon herself.

*Mr.Stone Pov*

What have I done again? How many times will I do these stupid things?

She just brought me food right, and she doesn't have to, but she did for me. Then why did I shout at her like she brought some poison?

Now I looked at my watch and saw that it is time for the live press meeting, which is going to be handled by Ms.Pari alone.

I went outside my cabin and saw that no one is there in their seats. What happened to them all?

I entered Di's cabin where I wanted to watch this, but I got shocked when I saw extra four people inside the room.

Di saw my shock and said, "They all want to take leave and see this, so I decided to let them stay here and watch along with us."

I nodded and sat beside Di. Soon press conference started, and Ms.Pari introduced herself confidently as my PR.

"Ms.Pari, so why did you call us for this press meet?" one reporter asked her.

"Coming directly to the point! Very good. So I called for this because it is not fair to hear the only one-party point. You all should also know the other person's point too right." she asked them.

They all nodded. Then she continued, "We all heard what Ms.Sheela said to all of you. However, tell me one thing, does anyone of you didn't have any doubt?"

"Like?" one reporter asked.

"Like we all know Mr.Raghu is perfectly capable of protecting his girlfriend, and her family from Mr.Stone's supposed 'Threat'. Why did he wait just before two days of their marriage?" she replied.

All reporters seemed to start considering. "But we all know Mr.Stone has more potential, fame and capability than Mr.Raghu." one reporter said.

There is a little victory smile upon her face, and she said, "Isn't it? Then why would he steep, so low and marry that too by threatening someone, when any girl would die to marry him."

Reporters all shared a smile, and we can see that it is going in our favor.

"Maybe he did it to hurt Mr.Raghu by marrying her?" one of them questioned.

"Then maybe they both lied to, hurt Mr.Stone by spoiling his reputation?" Ms.Pari counter questioned the reporter.

"Anyway, if MS.Sheela is so against the marriage, then what is this video, then?" Ms.Pari added and played a video.

This consists of all her nagging and calling me 'dear', 'baby' etc.. Even our engagement party photos and video are there where she posed in different poses.

After that, most of them nodded, mostly sure, but some of them are not.

"At least half of them will be in our favor. Ms.Pari did best with this interview answering confidently." Di said from beside me.

We thought everything is over but in the end, Ms.Pari looked directly ahead with an evil look and said, "And now, I will say only one thing at the end which will be accepted by all of you. That is if Mr.Stone is given a chance, then he would definitely prefer to marry his company than some girl. Don't you think?"

With that everyone, I mean everyone along with Di and staff burst out laughing. Press meeting ended, and I left for my cabin glaring at each one of them who is just trying to control their laughter.

How dare she said such a thing about me? I thought, pacing in my cabin fuming.

I am nothing like that, right? I questioned myself. Look what she did, even I am having doubts about myself.

Let her come then I will tell her...
