"I don't want David anywhere near my sister!" Narmadha said as soon as he ended his speech, making as all chuckle. He clearly is not good to have around, he tried to put his hand on my waist.
Such a flirt.

"Understandable! But, you too know he is one of the best in business." He said not wanting to let his friend down. But, he is also respectable man! As soon as I twisted his hand, he got the news I don't like it and though he flirted with words, he mainted a respectable distance like a gentleman giving the space I would enjoy his company comfortably.

"Yeah! But, still a great no!" She said making as all laugh but agree.

"Roopa, are you okay to work under Gowtham uncle? He is really good in his job and I can be really at peace as if you work under uncle and Advith is also here meaning double comfortable for me. Also Gowtham uncle is happy to have you.

Dev, is also good and we don't know what is his deal as we haven't asked him yet. But, from what I heard from zayan's brother saying he made him skip lunch, I don't want to let you under his care as mentor. So, it's in your choice." Narmadha said looking at Roopa.

"Narmadha, He too didn't had food, dev is not a monster. He just didn't want us to wait for them. And made Imran learn to valued others time too even if he have lost the lunch."

"I know Dev is good guy, Couldn't have let harshi near him if not. just don't want my sister to learn in hard way."

"She is not a kid, narmadha. Ms. Johal, There is no hurry, you can take your decision after giving it a good thought!" Advith said looking at her. She smiled at him.

"I would love to work under more experienced person and Also, I want my sister to have peace. Mr.Gowtham Vidal intern actually make my resume even more stronger. Wouldn't lose the chance" She said smiling a little.

"Ms. Sheela!" Advith called little louder and she came inside the room. " If Paul is here can you call him over for me?" She nodded at him and moved out again.

"When do you like to join Ms.johal?" Advith asked as he rested his arms over the armchair.

"If there is no problem, Right away!" She said making me look at her as if she is crazy.

"Didn't I say she loves work!" Narmadha said making Advith chuckle.

"You can join right away, we don't have any problem! But, your mentor is going to be back only after two days. So, that meant you can start your real internship by Monday morning only. So its upto you to join anytime you want!" Advith said looking at her.

"Let me join today! So, I can use sometime to get accommodate myself in Vidal!" She said looking at him. What is there to get accommodate? Isn't she sitting peacefully already.

"You sure look like born to work!" He said looking at her as if those words are to tease me as I felt a glance on my way again. Not even In five minutes, Sheela came with Paul.

"Advith! Let it be better a good reason, I am already running late." Paul said as he looked at the watch. And then looking at Gupta and Johal he greeted them and they greeted him back.

"Paul! I hope dad would have already informed you that I may introduce you a new intern for you guys!" Advith asked and as if he remembered, he nodded at him.

"And that new intern is Ms. Roopa Johal!" He said pointing her.

"Ms. Johal, you may actually know Mr.Fernandez already. Still, meet our company executive director Mr. Paul Henry Fernandez! You will be working under him with Madan." He said and Roopa nodded at Paul as sign of acknowledgement.

"On the behalf of Vidal groups of limited, it's a pleasure to welcome you to Vidal, Ms. Roopa Johal!" Paul said as he put forth his hand and Roopa shook hand with him.

"Looking forward to give my best!" She said smiling a little with a professional confidence. That Paul gave a approval look.

What was I doing when I was at this stage? I was scowling at umar as he officially welcomed me as I wished to be somewhere than here. Not at all looking at any angle good! Sarah!!!

"Sheela, I am sorry to trouble you but I have to be somewhere. Rahul nor Madan are around here, can you help Ms. Johal to find her desk and get comfortable?" Paul asked Sheela as he looked at the time saying eleven thirty.

" sure sir!" She said nodding at him.

"Thank you so much, Sheela. Ms. Johal, I will meet you in afternoon." He said looking at her.

"Sarah! Want to come with me? I am going to acciva." Paul asked me as he was about to move.
I looked at him in question as I really don't know whether it's right to go or not as its working hour.

"You want to go?" Advith asked me as I must looked at him in confusion. I nodded a no.

"You really don't want to come?" Paul asked surprised and I kept quite.

"Some other time, Sir!" I said looking at him. I so want to go, but here I am struck with working hour.

"What did you just said?" Paul asked looking at me in shock. What did I said wrong?

"Some other time as I really can't roam around at my work hours na?" I stopped myself from whining.

"Really?" Advith asked little surprised as Paul seem to be in even more shock.

"Yes, sir!" I said to see him shake his head.

"Whatever!" Advith said as if he needs to clear his head. Paul laughed out loud.

"Bye guys!" Paul said to everyone and he left. Everyone of us took the seat again.

As if he forgotten something, Paul reached inside.

"Sorry to interrupt, forgotten to say you Sarah! Madan have ordered your lunch, Do eat properly! Advith make sure she eats, she didn't had her breakfast today it seems." Paul said making me groan and Advith giving me a look saying care to say something.

"Take care!" Paul said chuckling at me and left the place.

Narmadha started to speak with Advith again, they were going around the world. While Roopa looked at me in pure disgust as I am sitting here. I looked away from her coughing a little to say her gazes are becoming intolerable. She then joined their conversation. I have to credit myself for being able to sit in a same place for three and half hours without doing anything. We heard a knock to see Sheela at the door.

"Sorry to disturb you sir! But, Sarah's food have arrived and she don't like if it became cold, so I have to inform about it." She said looking at Advith.

"Thank you Sheela! Just place it in the table, I will eat at my breaktime." I said her.

"What?" Sheela asked making Advith laugh a little and I looked at her to be really shocked.

"What is What?" I asked at her not really getting the things.

"Nothing! Just say me when you break time comes, I will warm it for you!" Sheela said rolling her eyeballs at me. I nodded at her.

"Sheela! Unpack her food, she will be eating now!" Advith said and I looked at him as he is giving me again is there anything to say look.

"Sir, I thought you don't entertain disrespect in your workplace. But, you clearly are making me to disrespect Ms. Gupta and Ms. Johal by asking me to eat alone, that too when we are at the middle of the business meeting, sir?" As I asked, I heard him and sheela laughing out loud, even I saw narmadha and Roopa chuckle.

"This is what you call business meeting?" Roopa asked looking at me, as if how I am even possibly able to think what I am.

"Isn't it? Ms. Gupta came with prior appointment to meet Mr.vidal to help you get internship deal at Vidal. The deal got confirmed over this meeting. I feel it like purely a business meeting. I never heard any informal usages of words. Also we are in work place and that too in working hours, which you all love and respect. Or are we in informal meeting?" I asked as to know clearly as I am really bored to sit here but just pulled myself to sit here because of work ethics.

I heard Advith laughing out loud even when he tried to control his laughter. Sheela looked as amused as Advith. Narmadha and Roopa looked confused and raised their brows at me.

"Sarah! I know you too well and say me why I thought of otherwise?" He asked and he laughed a little as if at him.

"I didn't ask you to disrespect anybody, Ms. Sarah. All I said Sheela is to unpack the food and you will eating it. I never said it's here! Did I ?" The smugness of him is getting me really to break my shell. Nope! Sarah, nope!

"Oh! Yet, isn't it disrespect to eat in working hours? I will wait for the break time, sir!" I said as I looked at the clock saying itself only twelve fifteen and lunch time is one to two.

"Not when you get permission from me. Since you haven't had your breakfast, I am giving you permission to eat now!" He said looking at me to better use it before I change my mind.

"You sure sir?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"Sir, I am going to eat then!" I said and went to the door smiling like an idiot as I am really hungry and now I can eat the nice smelling fried rice.

"As long as you compensate by working the time you taken off at break time!" He said making me stop at my tracks. I turned towards him to see him have a smug look and I heard people chuckle.
Control yourself Sarah! Control yourself! We can still eat in record time and have lot of break time.

"I will keep the track of time from now, sir!" I said as I looked at time saying twelve twenty.

"Well then! Have a leisurely mealtime!" He said smirking a little. I nodded my head at him as I tried to pacify myself.

"Thank you sir!"

And that's how I ended finishing my lunch in record speed of ten minutes. I usually take an hour to eat and knowingly that idiot made me eat quickly. The look on his face right now feels to be worth for trying to eat or stuff the food into my food.

"You had your lunch?" Advith asked really surprised and the unsurity in his words were good to hear but the smugness in his face makes it all turn other way.

"Yes sir!" I said and my digestive tract made my bold answer become it painful one as if something thing is struck in my chest. And I burped to have a relief of pain to face the embrassment in hearing people chuckle around me.

"Remember from now to eat your breakfast regularly. We don't want another episode of today isn't?" He asked chuckling a little. I nodded at him as I killed myself in my brain for skipping my breakfast.

"Good! And the delightful ten minutes you had will be reduced from your breaktime." Advith said smiling a little to himself looking at me nodding at him. Is he really being serious? I should have excused as I will use bathroom and then had food. If only you known that actually you can finish eating this fast!

"Sheela, can you show Ms. Johal her place around here?" Advith said looking at the chuckling Sheela. She soon pulled a blank and nodded at him.

"Since I am going to be working around here for sometime. Can you please address me by name Roopa. Johal makes me feel older and also I don't want others to feel alarming while working with me." That's a alarming one for sure and the look she gave me said exactly that it's for me to be alarmed.

"As you wish, Ms.Roopa!" Advith said smiling an approval again.

Narmadha wished her best and left after biding bye to me, Roopa, sheela and Advith with a hug. Taking Kayla with her. Sheela then took Roopa with her to show around the place. Advith left to his room. While I awaited for the clock to strike one ten for me to take the break.

As it striked, I left to visit my friends and they said they thought I already forgotten them. I assured them that just because of work I had. I said them all that from now I will meet them during breaktime if not sometime for sure. They all said not to stress me with too much work and it's okay if I won't able to meet them like everyday but asked me to not forgot them and take care of myself. I tried to assure them, they said as we grow, our priorities will change too and asked me not to stress myself more.
