Anika was still blushing at Advay's antic meanwhile Advay was still holding her hand. She looked away to avoid Advay's stare.

'Aye...haaye!!! Don't blush this much. It makes you even cuter! And I feel like eating up your red cheeks!', Advay flirted openly with her.

Anika gasped and blushed harder at his statement. But, she wasn't the only one getting red at his statement. There was another person getting his cheek red as well but not of shyness, but of anger. His last statement was just the push Shivaay needed to get past his breaking point.

'Can we get into business now?', Shivaay asked with a sarcastic smile while breaking their hand hold.

'Yeah, let's get into business!', Advay sat down with a little smirk. Anika helped them to get files and certain informations. Then, after getting their signatures, Anika left the conference room to her workplace leaving Shivaay and Advay alone.

'Mr.Oberoi... can I just call you Shivaay? It feels weird to be addressing you Mr.Oberoi when we will be working together as partners. And I would request you to call me Advay as well instead of Mr.Raizada. It's just too formal and its not my way', Advay began the informal conversation.

'Yeah! Of course Mr.Rai... I mean Advay!', Shivaay replied with a smile.

'By the way Shivaay, can I ask you something?', he started.

'Of course. Just go ahead!', Shivaay gave him the green light.

'How on Earth are you being able to handle your hot employee Anika? I mean... just look at her man! She's a stunning!', Advay went on.

Shivaay was getting raged.

'Anika? Hot? Nah! She looks just fine!', Shivaay denied him.

'So you don't find her hot?', Advay asked again.

'Of course not! Now, can you please excuse me, Advay', Shivaay was about to leave when Advay said something.

'Then there's no problem with you! Path cleared. I can now openly flirt with Anika and who knows, she might just fall for my charms', Advay spit his mind out with a dreamy look on his face.

'Fhat the wuck???!!!', Shivaay exclaimed.

'Chill Shivaay! Why are you getting so worked up? I'm just going to try my luck with Anika. And since you don't find her hot, then what difference does it makes to you?', Advay's question was unanswerable to Shivaay.

'Woh... actually... leave all this. Anika is not your type okay! I'm telling this because I'm concerned for you! That girl is mad. In fact her whole family is mad. Her best friend, Gauri, she's driving my brother Om mad. Anika... once she starts talking, she never ends it! And then, she can find little reason in nowhere to start an argument. To add to this, she's such a huge foodie!!! You wouldn't believe the amount she eats despite her size! So, I'm telling you, don't go for her. My models are way hotter than she is. Just go after any one of them. I'll help you!', Shivaay offered.

'What are you saying Shivaay??!!! Wow!!! Your description about Anika just matched perfectly with the qualities I want in my dream girl! I was wondering how to find out more about Anika, but you're here! You seem to know everything about her. Tell me more! I'm all more determined on wooing her now!', Advay's reply made Shivaay speechless.

'What?! That is all I know about Anika. And if you want to know more about her, find out yourself! I don't do this helping stuffs all', he rebuked in jealousy and left.

As soon as Shivaay left, Advay took his phone out and typed a message.

'Mission begun! First result was positive!'

The person who reads the text is none other than Mallika. Gauri and Om were next to her as well. They screamed a little in excitement when they saw the text and group hugged in excitement.

'So, phase one of the mission is done. But for the next phase, we have to wait till they get back from Goa, right?', Gauri asked.

'No! I think we should start the next phase right away, that too in Goa', Om suggested.

'We will be working there, how would that be possible O? And besides, I've to go to Goa because I'm one of the models but how about you both?', Mallika asked.

'Well! I believe in work hard, then party hard. Now that my team has worked hard in Paris, our party will be in...', before Om could say it both the girls interrupted.

'GOA!!!', both shouted out in excitement.

'Yeap. And that's how we'll begin with the following phases!', Om said with a huge grin.

'So Goa it is then?', Gauri asked in excitement.

'Goa it is then!', team Shivika got excited.

On the other hand, Shivaay entered workplace to find Anika working while humming some random song.

'You seem to be happy!', Shivaay commented.

Anika just replied with a smile. And then she started, 'Actually, I'm not just happy. I'm so khidkithod happy!!! I mean someone just admitted that I'm hot!!! I...'. Shivaay interrupted.

'That someone is blind! You're nowhere close to hot and bold! You get that! Now no need to get so excited. Focus on your work. And you remember about our flight to Goa tonight right. Be ready and reach there along with Mallika', he left right after without even giving her a chance to react or respond.

'This man is so strange! I mean he is calling himself blind! Sadu and confused kahika! One moment he says that I'm hot the next he denies it! Is this guy sane or not? I guess he's lost it!', she curses him. 'But what if I'm really not hot?', she begins to get worried.

Just then, Mallika and Gauri entered the workplace.

'Shall we leave Anika? We've got a flight to catch tonight!', Mallika asked her.

'Hmmm... okay Mallika. Just five more minutes! Let me finish this!', Anika excused herself.

When they're about to leave the office, something stroke Anika's mind.

'You both carry on first. I'll get back there in a while. There's somewhere I need to go first', she sent them both away first and then took a cab to Shivaay's house.

PRECAP: Shivika and Team Shivika arrives in Goa!
