"Are we really meeting him?" I asked for the twentieth time or more even. As I am sitting before the his chamber and waiting for his arrival. Nikhil nodded at me as if saying me not to question one more time as next time he won't be polite as he sighed loudly for to know the warning.

"Why didn't you said it's him?" I asked and he pulled a paper before me as he already answered me that I should have read when he gave me yesterday if I really cared to know about it.

"Ms. Sarah! I really get that you are scared and it's your first time. Please, don't make me feel it's my first time nor get me scared more importantly as I wasn't even scared in my first time. So, believe me I myself don't know how I should handle if ever I get scared. So, do us a favour by breathing in and out trying to be calm." He said as if he was speaking to a kid. I nodded at him and tried following it.

"Where are you going?" I asked as he stood up.

"Going to ask when he will come!" I sighed.

"We are bit early. He starts only by ten and he will be here anytime now!" I said as I saw it's only nine thirty now. He gave me a raised brow.

"You really kNow him?" He asked for the first time understanding my feeling I hope. I nodded at him.

"That means will he sign the contract for us?" He asked and I gave him a look.

"If you ever forgot about the bet I had with Advith. Do remember it well, as in due course you understand how difficult this meeting will be!" I said and he gave me a look.

"He is advith's best friend, Nikhil. I should have known when you said they easily accepted for meeting." I said and nikhil gave look of realisation.

"You mean that's why an CEO said okay to attend a meeting for napkin business. I had doubts when CEO said okay to meet us! If he is Mr. Advith Vidal's friend won't he help his business too?" He asked really confused.

"If there is no bet, he would have did either for my sake or his. But, now it's just pure business here and that's really difficult as I said." As I sighed and I saw the powerful CEO come forward as he greets back people who greets him, he gave a sly smirk as he saw me in the waiting place and stopped before us, behind him the beautiful intern of his, gave me smug look too.

"Good morning Mr. Zayan Nabib Ghazi and Ms. Shruti Viren sharma!" I said as I nodded my head at them.

"Good morning Ms. Sarah! You couldn't have waited if you stayed for the breakfast!" Zayan said and I nodded at him.

"I like to go by Sarah, Mr. Zayan. It was actually pleasure to wait here and look around your beautiful office. Though it has just tiny problem, which I think you will figure out to clear it soon!" I said and he gave me a look over.

"Thank you for liking our office and I prefer to go by you as zayan or bhai too, Sarah. I hope we can discuss further in my office!" He said and I just nodded at him.

"Behind you, bhai!" He smiled and lead us in and we took our seats. Shruti asked zayan' assistant to bring coffee for all and gave a food box to her to heat it over.

"So, Ms. Sarah!.." shruti started.

"I prefer to go by Sarah!" I said and she smiled at me.

"I prefer to go by shruti too Sarah!" I nodded at her.

"Go head Sarah! I guess, We already made you wait long!" He said as he rested his head on his chair.

I sighed a breath out as I switched on the laptop and gave them the booklets and I did the presentation. As I hope I did well, Shruti placed the box before me and gave me a look don't you dare reject the breakfast. I nodded at her and started eating and nikhil politely rejected breakfast as he ate, just accepted the coffee and I let nikhil answer as zayan and shruti started questioning. Damn shruti is better than me, she thrown great questions. Even zayan gave her a smile of appreciation. At times, I do answered as they mentioned my name.

"If you guys don't mind, Can I have some more tissues?" I asked looking at zayan as I have already used three tissues that were placed with my breakfast and still greasiness haven't left my hand. I showed my hand for an effect.

"Sure!" Zayan rung a call, his assistant came with a box of tissues.

"I was wondering why my hands were still greasy even after I used three. I guess, now I got the answer." I said and felt zayan smirk a bit.

"Oh really?" He asked and I just nodded at him.

"The tiny problem seems to be in every turn of the office, Zayan bhai. So, I think even if I have to risk my meeting, I want to say you that many places in your office is facing tissue demand. Just before, I meet you. I used your toilet and gues what happened, there is no tissues in female toilet.

I hope, shruti you will accept with me that tissues are compulsory in female washrooms." I gave a dramatic break to let shruti nod with me in knowing look.

"I hope guys would like to have tissues at times too." I looked at nikhil, who nodded confusedly as what I doing and then looked at zayan to see him chuckle as if in a way, we couldn't identify but he liked the way I am leading, I hope. Orelse I know he would had made a comment.

"But, now I understand why you are in shortage of tisssues." I said as I dramatically placed the picfresh box down in the table and picked one from it to wipe my hand and still sighed as its still greasy.

"What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter as you will feel I am rooting jounce, just because I am working in it. But it was my personal opinion that you should try all brand and come to a decision on which is best." I said and he just smiled at me as I picked one tissue from my bag and cleaned my hand well and smile plastered my face.

"I know you don't like gifts and I am not here to butter up even as I have faith in my product selection. These are just samples to let you test." I said and pulled out few different ones and placed it in his table.

"Thats thoughtful of you Sarah! I will check it and let you know my decision soon!" Zayan said smiling a little.

"That's good to hear. Take your time well zayan bhai!" I said as if I want him to take less time.

"Sure I will let you know by this week after finding the best brand to clear the tinny problem in my office !" He said and I nodded at him.

"Don't forgot to think about our best offer for your company too!" I said and he just smiled, nodding at me.

"Thank you for giving me your valuable time and I will take my leave Shruti and zayan bhai!" I said as I got up. They bide me back and called to take care of me. And zayan ordered rammu Anna to be keep an eye on me.

"By the way, you really did presented well for the first time, Sarah! Just don't be nervous anymore, you really are good!" Zayan said as he hugged me as I was about to get in the car.

"Thanks bhai! I hope Mr.zayan will be signing the contract with us then?" I asked playfully but seriously. Shruti laughed out loud.

"I can't grantee that as you asked him to look for the best." Zayan said and I elbowed him, culprit always keeps people in edge.

"Thank you and really I too don't want credits of being your sister!" I said and he nodded at me. He opened the door and I got inside smiling back at him.

"It went better than I expected!" I said as soon as we car left the building.

"I guarantee you Mr. Zayan is signing Up, at the way you show cased our product as he seem to like it." He said and I nodded at him.

"I hope so. But, that man really does business when he do business, no sister or friend." I said
and at that nikhil turned around from the passenger seat.

"Is he really your brother?" He asked and I looked at him confusion and nodded at him.

"Not genetically, but that's how we are all to him emotionally, got us to cry at times with his protectiveness, though those are rare, when it's is happeneing none can stop him and it's hell for not only the other person but for us also." I said and he nodded at me as he looked at me.

"You really have lot in your bag, Ms. Sarah!" He said and he just truned around to look front.

"Huh?" I asked and he started saying us who we are going to meet next.

I didn't know I would be ending up in verma company and there vikram uncle made sure to drag the meeting and left me only after I had lunch. Thank god! He didn't come to head the meeting, it was someone else. But, that person happens to be the one who signed up Vivek too. He just said he likes to continue with me. When I asked for the sudden change in mind, he said that it costs them more than they think as they have to buy two in case of one from ours. I looked at vikram uncle and he just nodded no as he is not helping me. I nodded at him and after having lunch, we left.

"Only one out of six?" I asked looking nikhil. Who is looking at me amusedly.

"We got one Sarah! That's a great deal to party. It took me a month to make one sign up for me for first time. I only was able to speak with the person only after a week of being his stalker as I don't really know how to meet the person or they won't give me chance to hear me either." I nodded at him as I don't know what to answer as I can see him fond about his memories.

"That's must be really great adventure trips Thanks for helping me get one on my first day" I said and took a sip of coffee. He gave me a amused look at my sincerity.

"You earned it!" He said and I looked at him. I raised my brows at him.

"You did it really, you presented what jounce is well to him. He knows it well as they used before, and also you gave him a great offer that he wouldn't dare reject. When his boss is just overhearing the meeting through the mobile. Will he risk rejecting us and lose his job?" nikil asked and I looked at him in confusion.

"You mean Vikram uncle helped me?" I asked and he just laughed a little.

"Not really! If you are afraid that Advith sir could say you got help from vikram sir, no vikram sir haven't helped you as you just gave them good deal that they can't reject. If vikram sir was not keeping track of the meeting, I highly doubt Mr. Sander could have accepted your proposal. Cause sander is vivek's relative, I guess from his maternal side." He said as if he means it and nothing to worry.

"That's an information!" I nodded at him as I said in a thank you manner.  I called the waiter to bring the bill.

"Hey! Give me." I said as he took the bill in hand. He smiled at me.

"No worries Sarah, I already had good lunch all thanks to you!" He said as he placed card and gave to waiter.

"But, that really was verma's good heart. I have no role there." I said and glared at him, he just laughed like believe yourself.  I took the cash out of my purse.

"Fine! Let's be fair and share." I said as if I known he will pay I would have asked us to drink somewhere at casual place. Not here in a restaurant that bills like a five star hotel level.

"Yes! Let's be fair, I pay this time and next time is yours!" He said and I nodded as I don't want to hurt his pride or something and I mentally scolded myself for picking this place for a coffee and snacks. But, I was really hungry and this was a best one I could find next to client place.

"Deal!" I said mentally noting to treat him good next time and always pick convinent place from next time.

"Actually don't think too much Sarah! We are really given allowance to meet our food and travel expenses, when we go for marketing every month and since you don't have the card yet, I paid." I nodded at him as he shown the card he used is company card. I smiled as he chuckled at me as I relived a breath.

It seems like the money they save is also for them, so he always try to be careful in spending. As sometime it will be only ten rupee and other times he has to stay somewhere and then till be like thousands. But, the allowance they give always remains same each month. At special occasion they could add if the company feel expenses for him because of jounce business is more.  Which by the way, have never occurred to him itseems.

We ourself went late to office by eight thirty after meeting other clients and guess what I was faced with that we were actually ones who came back early, soon after we reached everyone started to came back.

"We should really celebrate three success!" Leena said as she gave everyone a tin of cooldrink. George cracked two deals. They accepted to sign tomorrow itself. I had one signed today. So, yeah it's three. Also deepa and Valli got all the other clients gate member.

George said he and Leena will try with the people's, we missed to crack.  And he said me and nikhil, to try the new peoples and asked deepa to go the one he missed.  His theory is same person going and standing the gate everyday will make them hate us initially and since we don't have time to overcome the initial stage. He said we need to try finding someother method.  As nikhil and deepa asked isn't it best to form bond by going repeatedly and show our persistence.

"I guess, you mean let's make a team bond with all?" I asked smiling a little at George.

"I think Exactly something like that! We all are different ways to approach or express, but the goal remains same. Which will help us win them, without tiring them!" George said and I nodded as everyone give us a look.

"Haven't you heard there are two ways to spread light: be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. We don't really want our clients have trust in same person and when he leaves, the company again doesn't need to face this situation. So, let us show that he don't need to trust same reflection alone. As we are mirrors, he can trust us all and we will be there for him too as a team, when they need as jounce is the candle. Isn't it George?" I asked and George nodded at me.

"That's a new proverb I learnt today!" I looked up to see Paul in the door. I got up from the chair and everyone too as he came near us.

"Really Paul?" I asked as i kept a hand in heart as he really surprised me there at him sudden visit.

"Yeah! I don't know you have this much light here?" He said as he ruffled my hair. I smiled at him.

"I don't know either!" I said playing around with him. "What bring you here at this time?" I asked and he looked at his watch.

"I am looking over something at my friends request. And see who I am able to meet at the ten fifteen?" He asked and I just smiled getting Ted made him to look at me as I am still away home after ten as it's ten fifteen.

"I am on my way out, Paul!" I said and he just rolled his eyeball at me match mine.

"Good!" I took my bag and left bidding everyone saying I will meet everyone tomorrow at eight just like today.

Paul walked me to the car and congratulated me for the contracts I signed. As, I went home, they all arranged a mini party for my first contract sign up. And encouraged me to do well in future too.  Later I slept as sleep was calling me for long time.
